In BIOS the CPU usually runs on full speed and since the stock cooler isnt very good the temperatures climb up very quickly.Hi guys,
I've assembleda NAS with e3c226d2i + e3-1245v3... The monitoring of UEFI bios shows CPU temp about 56 - 60 degrees Celsius. Is it normal? Is bios setup mode equals to idle one? (If so, it's not normal)
Could you enter into UEFI bios setup to check what CPU temp your mobo shows? Just to compare what I should expectThere is no "normal" except what is appropriate for your hardware. I will say that for a system that is idle that is VERY hot. Something is not set appropriately for your server's situation in any case.
Thanks! Does FreeNAS support CPU power management? Could I monitor CPU temp from FreeNAS web GUI ?In BIOS the CPU usually runs on full speed and since the stock cooler isnt very good the temperatures climb up very quickly.
The more accurate way of getting actual idle CPU temperuture would be in loaded system that supports correctly CPUs power management with idle states.
Are there any plugins / 3rd party tools to provide such monitoring?Web gui itself doesnt Show CPU temp
Haswell based CPUs are well known for their higher operationing temperatures in comparison with older chips like Sandy bridge. It uses some lower quality thermal compound and not the die soldering procces like Sandy bridge and other chips which was better transfering heat to the heatspreader and cooler.
Guys, what's the best ZFS pool configuration for 8 HDDs (4Tb each)? I would go with 1vdev of RAIDZ2 6+2 for parity. Is it OK? As I've read, for RAIDZ2 the number of disks should equals 2^n+2, i.e. 4,6,10...
