LSI 9300-8i correct config? Trying to debug system crashes

[daemonix]

Ive got a couple of system crashes that left no logs or kernel messages :S so Im trying to see what it might be.

Im using a LSI 9300-8i with 6 SSDs.

a) Do I need to do any BIOS updates or it seems ok to you?

b) On the ASUS bios (11th gen intel) the LSI card seems to be in Legacy mode (from the BIOS -> Advance menu). Is this the recommended?

c) I have a 120mm Noctua fan very very close to the LSI (half an inch / 1cm). Low RPMs but I think its ok. No?

Thanks

`mprutil show adapter` should be able to show the HBA temperature. But I'd guess that should be OK. Though I'd probably put the fan flat on top to cool both the HBA, chipset and NIC (or what do you have in the first slot).

As I see it is a desktop system, likely with non-ECC RAM. I'd recommend a good long memory test.

Yes you need a firmware update for your LSI HBA
Firmware Version : 16.00.12.00

LSI 9300-xx Firmware Update - History

But I am not sure that it will fix your issue, because running a old LSI firmware does not usually crash the system: you just regularly loose disks when the system is under heavy load.
