    Consider the throughput you expect to need on your NIC and on your HBA, consider the max PCIe Gen your NIC and HBA support, you might be able to get away with using them in slots that are connected through the Board chipset instead of directly to the CPU (thats one of the ways these systems get so many pci-e slots/lanes other than switch chips)

    for example, if your 2x10Gbe NIC supports PCIe gen 3.0 4-lane, thats 3.938 GB before overhead is taken out.
    but if you are only using 1x 10Gbe connection, that NIC could be put into a slot that is shared with others on the motherboard chipset which might reduce the max throughput slightly over all.
    keeping your CPU PCIe lanes available for the more latency sensitive or higher throughput devices like the gpu or NVMe storage options.

    For your HBA, if you are planning to use 15x Sata SSD's, then your max sequential throughput would be about 8.25 GBytes/s, if your HBA supports PCIe Gen4 8-lane then you have nearly double the PCIe bandwith (15.754 GB/s) vs what your SSD's are capable of supplying so putting it in a PCIe 3.0 8x slot or a PCIe 4.0 4x slot would have minimal impact to your usability,
    especially if you were to use a hardware based mirror instead of ZFS mirror (done on the raid HBA processor). This is not a risk as you can still run smartctl and get direct access through modern HBA's and Raid cards to see the individual drive health for a LUN.

    EDIT: looks like that HBA is possibly a LSI 9305-16i which is PCIe 3.0 8x, so moving it to a PCIe 3.0 4x slot will cut your available bandwidth in 1/2 vs the SSDs max sequential throughput.
    so I would put the NIC in the bottom most slot (4x lanes in 8x slot) instead of between your GPU and HBA.

    For temps you have lost of headway, most HBA's and NICs for servers are able to operate safely up to 80C for ten plus years.

    People should always check out company liquidators. One of our local ones is called DougDeals, but I'm sure every larger town has several. I got an older Puget Systems workstation with Dual Xeons and 40vcores with 192GB ram for like $350. The Cases Puget use, are amazing, almost worth the entire price. It was probably a $7-10k system new.

    Remember folks the ultimate homelab server for you is the first one that gets you into the hobby!
    You can always upgrade use what you have and upgrades over time are part of the hobby you don't need to jump to the highest end!

    Hi Tim, Quick question
    What are you using for your NAS currently?

  5. @sanguineel

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Great video. Some of your inflections remind me of LGR. I was chuckling.

  6. @PrimalNaCl

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    The Silverstone RM52 is fairly roomy, rackable, and supports dual 360 rads.

  7. @protator

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Judging from the video footage the board's x16 slots are actually x16 electrically as well.
    They most likely share 16 lanes with a neighboring x8 slot via a bridge chip.
    Just thought I'd mention this because mainboards don't always detect these things automatically/correctly and need to have the slots set to the correct configuration manually in Bios.
    Would be a shame to accidentally cut that beastly gpu's bandwidth in half.

    Edit: scratch that, spec sheet on Supermicro's product page says my eyes tricked me.

  8. @airman_85uk

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    You should look at AMD threadripper. They have R-DDR5 support and 128 pci-e lanes!
    Intel and AMD mainstream chips will stay at 20/24 lanes of pci-e and the motherboards are removing pci-e slots in favor of m.2 slots. a gaming rig only needs a main slot of a GPU and the rest goes through the chipset.

  9. @MAD450r2

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Try unraid. Id like to see that

    what patchcables are you using? they look fancy

  11. @Fractal_32

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    5:14 look at the block diagram instead, it may not what extra features are disabled on the motherboard with fully populated PCIE lanes.

    On my system it will trade between m.2 slots and 4x PCIE connections.

    Can you still buy 5.25" spinning rust drives?

  13. @TheChadXperience909

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    @Tim, it would actually make better sense to space your drives apart for better cooling and less restricted airflow in certain areas of the case. Since you have 6 drives and 3 fans, that's easy. Just space them where you have 2 drives per fan. The drives will run cooler, which will make them last longer and sustain the top speed longer, and they won't interfere as much with the airflow.

  14. @jgorres

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    This is the first "Techno Tim" video I've watched, and I have a question…
    Are you in MN?

  16. @clipperbob960

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    I have gotten an 80 mm fan, some double sided tape and attached it to the case for the airflow for an HBA card before. Just get the stongest tape not the least expensive. Mine has been working fine for 4 year now.

  17. @TheTornic

    Could be a 10 minute video with just swapping to a different GPU

  18. @sherrykda3511

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Why is this guy still an intel shil? Waiting for the 15th gen? For what? To have worse performance and higher TDP + cost then AMD for 6 years in a row?
    He also uses a Xeon for… god knows what reason. An Epyc or threadripper would have, again, be better for price and performance.
    This channel is realy just a boring shill channel for whatever this guy likes

  19. @johntanner611

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Love the videos Tim, but why not just go EYPC? I got a 7601 cheap on ebay 32 core 64 threads has 128 pcie lanes and an ASrock rack motherboard with dual 10 gig built in?

  20. @TheMrDrMs

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    holy cow, top gun on nes is something I want to play again lol. Why would I want to do that to myself, I'm not sure… But why do we do any other this (homelab) to ourselves lol

  21. @shalak001

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Can you share the exact hw specs of this build?

  22. @chedderpop

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Great Video!
    Just be sure to look at your motherboard spec when concerned about PCIE lane availability. Motherboards also come with a controller with additional PCIE lanes.
    Basically, the processor's PCIE count is only half the story.

  23. @ExperiorGG

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Hey! Quick question, what rack rails do you use? great video!

  24. @lukasvogl7679

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    maybe try Zimaos its for the Zima cube but also works on generic x86. it is like casos but better with Vm and docker/container

  25. @tonyc2119

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Is there a link for the Storinator case?

  26. @batemanjo9

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    I noticed you were counting your PCIe lanes. Depending of the board manufacturer and models, onboard components can also take up PCIe lanes as well. Such as NVMe, SATA, wireless, USB 3. Very common on consumer boards. Especially if they have NVMe slots onboard. Some boards have the option to disable onboard components to free up some lanes 👍🏽 this information is good to know if you want to convert your old gaming rig or workstation into a server and need full lane speed support on your expansion slots.

    lol dude got a xeon cpu "ultimate" home lab…

  31. @simbozoni

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Hey Tim, love your videos. Fellow homelabber here, but I can’t stress enough as a homelabber you need to RTFM on the motherboard and CPU. In particular look at the block diagram in the doco. Super micro docs are always good and show how the lanes are used as some of those 48 lanes have to service usb, SATA, IPMI etc… Also, the motherboard silk screen will also say 8x in 16 etc to tell you its only 8 lanes on a physical 16 slot. Don’t put that GPU in the first 16 slot if you want those juicy 16 lanes.

  32. @mutosanrc1933

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    so out dated

  33. @anv8989

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    The consumer card mostly need dump hdmi plug to fully unlock the performance

    1:35 "GTX" 3090???

  37. @thiagoassisfernandes

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    you really should take a look on a distro such as nixos, declarative config and such… Kinda like ansible… but better in my opinion

  38. @igordasunddas3377

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    I just finished building a server around a EPYC 8024P and a Gigabyte ME03-CE1 motherboard. I'm contrast to this build though I don't have a GPU yet and I need it to double as a NAS, too. 96 PCIe lanes is plenty, room for growth (CPU, RAM, PSU, GPUs).

    I used SuperMicro SuperChassis case though (no rack).

  39. @TechnoTim

    October 13, 2024 at 2:01 am

    Sorry about the mistake by saying 5.25" drives! While researching and testing, I was trying to figure out how many drives I could fit in the Corsair's 5.25" bays and somehow that got into my script. 🤦‍♂ In the spirit of mixing things up, let me know what you've mixed up before!

New Home Backup Server (Dell T640 with 18 20TB Disks)

New Home Backup Server (Dell T640 with 18 20TB Disks)



In this video I create a new backup server from a Dell EMC PowerEdge T640 with 18x 20TB Seagate Exos refurbished drives. Also there’s some more ranting about backups in general. But idk, there are chapters so you can skip to whatever. And it’s not technically a server, in that it doesn’t serve files. It’s really more of a client that takes files from other servers and holds onto them. But I call it a backup server because hardware-wise it’s a server. Anywho, that’s the description. It’s probably not optimal for the YouTube algorithm, but hey, I’m not an influencer even though I have a TikTok account that I don’t use.

The Man Who Revolutionized Computer Science With Math

The Man Who Revolutionized Computer Science With Math



Leslie Lamport revolutionized how computers talk to each other. The Turing Award-winning computer scientist pioneered the field of distributed systems, where multiple components on different networks coordinate to achieve a common objective. (Internet searches, cloud computing and artificial intelligence all involve orchestrating legions of powerful computing machines to work together.) In the early 1980s, Lamport also created LaTeX, a document preparation system that provides sophisticated ways to typeset complex formulas and format scientific documents. In 1989, Lamport invented Paxos, a “consensus algorithm” that allows multiple computers to execute complex tasks; without it, modern computing could not exist. He’s also brought more attention to a handful of problems, giving them distinctive names like the bakery algorithm and the Byzantine Generals Problem. Lamport’s work since the 1990s has focused on “formal verification,” the use of mathematical proofs to verify the correctness of software and hardware systems. Notably, he created a “specification language” called TLA+ (for Temporal Logic of Actions), which employs the precise language of mathematics to prevent bugs and avoid design flaws.
