HP GEN 8 HELP! Please

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am new to all this - I currently have an old Synology NAS - I recently purchased a HP GEN 8 with 16gb RAM paired with a Xeon E3 1220 . Now all was wondering if its worth running XPENOLOGY baremetal or in a Hypervisor.

 

Many Thanks.

It just depends on your needs.

 

Will you need to run virtual machines ?

If so, you may consider Proxmox VE or ESXi. if you don't need any virtual machines to run H24, you may go for baremetal.

 

Both works fine as long as bios is configured as SATA AHCI..

 

Do not expect hardware transcoding with it, CPU is not compatible. You may want to use DS3622xs+ loader.

Hi 

Go with Baremetal ARPL 1.03b and set the Cpu Governor for High frequencies

FAN Noise problem is gone update ILO to the latest version

 

 

Image ARPL here best is go with 3622xs 42962 u3

https://github.com/nemesis122/arpl/releases/tag/1.03

 

Set Task in the taskmager 

User defiendied Script as root and then 

Idle has the same  Power consumption

 


modprobe acpi-cpufreq && echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

 

Have a look

 

after the command for High CPU Freq. the benchmark

So you would recommend bare-metal install rather then hypervisor ? Cheers

Sorry for all the noob questions I have DSM running however its only showing drive 5 the drives are set to AHCI in bios thanks 
for some reason its not detecting them in bios however can see the ssd or the 3gb (optical sata port)

This is my bench seems poor considering other results nemesis has.

358

Single-Core Score

1240

Multi-Core Score

With the script that nemesis mentioned.


It seems to only use around 15.45% of the CPU. 517MB of RAM is this normal?

Using loader ARPL 1.03b 

Would running in a VM be better?

for me in personal ARPL is the easiest way to install XPE and ARPL 1.03b is the last which is working for the gen8 in my experience form the arpl generation 

for me your result is not so bad 

pls note i have tested wit a xeon 1240v2 cpu in my gen8 this is not the orginal cpu it has much more power 

 

you can also test with Peters Mshell

https://github.com/PeterSuh-Q3/tinycore-redpill/releases/tag/v0.9.3.0-1

 

 

here are other results with your cpu

I agree, don't expect to much performances with 1220L, as a reminder, it is a fanless CPU, made to stay cool temp...

 

I replaced mine with a 1270 v2, but then you need to replace the fanless with a active fan system.

 

with this : https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B08139CMZ5

in order to handle the CPU fan speed.

 

I can't remember the radiator I bought, but it must be low/tight.

Edit : it was a AKASA K25 AK-CC7118HP01 VENTIRAD

Ok thank you everyone will look to replace CPU this weekend. 

 

Orphee what loader are you using I'm just new to all this and testing different loaders. Thanks

 

Would there be any better off running in VM for better CPU score ? Just a thought

Everything has been already said here.

 

If you don't NEED to run VMs, then stick to baremetal.

 

Do you really think the need to reserve CPU and RAM for host while running only one VM will have better performances than running directly a baremetal ? I guess you did not really think about it and I must misunderstood it....

 

And I did not even talk about hypervisor security updates management...

Hi I would replace with 

1230 v2 / 1240 v2 i have turbo boost disabled and no problem with the cooling / or 1265Lv2 without any activ cooling working checked under Windows with AIDA Becnhmark http://www.lavalys.com/products/everest-pc-diagnostics/ more information below

here are some benchmark be careful for me save is until 1240v2 without cooling

I read from en other user that spindown is not working with arpl 1.03 maybe it is working with mhsell from Peter or Tinycore from Pocopico

check the Loader treath and ask the user with there experience.

https://xpenology.com/forum/forum/31-loaders/

i have 4x Gen8 with 2x 1220Lv2 /1230 v2 / 1240 v2 

2x with ARPL 1.03 / 1x with Pocopico tinycore without Friend /1x with 1.03b 3617 DSM 6.2 i will doing some test about this spindown and inform you
