NVIDIA GeForce graphic card install IBM x3650 M2/3 - 191

[@ShinKamuiAkaKamui]

Been a little while Bud! So I just decided to improve my deployment setup a bit, by adding VSGA to my view desktop pool. Picked up a pair of quadro 4000's for a reasonably cheap price, and am now getting ready to move some internal nics to slot them. Had to get my hands on a pair of PCI-E risers, which was easy, and when the install came, i was like oh man, these cards actually need supplemental power! Been searching for the 8-6pin cables and of course your page came up! Seeing how easy it was for you to make those cables, maybe i will also embark down that path! As usual, thanks for your quality informative videos!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Shinkamui What did you get PCI-E risers cards for,,this IBM x3650 M2?? Thank you for watching! :-)

[@ShinKamuiAkaKamui]

+My PlayHouse (Morten Hjorth) 3650 m3’s

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Shinkamui Du you have a link for the riser card you are getting ,,, I like that to,,if it's x16 Thank you for watching! :-)

[@ShinKamuiAkaKamui]

well, I got them from an ebay seller, but they're essentially the same as this: www.primelec.com/ibm-x-series-x3550-m2-m3-pci-e-x16-low-profile-riser-card-43v7066-43w8856. Ran into a huge problem though, the 3650 m3 doesnt' have enough room for gpu's closer to the board. I need full risers, or a riser extension, and I can't find anything. SO CLOSE! Its starting to look like it may not be possible to anything newer than an 8x interface card for graphics acceleration in these systems. Since vGPU and sVGA are extremely picky about which cards you use, Im not sure what i can do short of abandon the IBM architecture and move toward some HP or Dell Servers...

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI Shinkamui Yes that is for the x3550 M2/3 not realy the x3650 M2/3... I have this in order: amzn.to/1Z3TULy I getting it from Aliexpress, but same thing. If it is any good you will see a video :-) If you find something,, do tell me. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@tylerdoestech]

I predict this will be a very popular video since many, many forums have questions about this. Cutting the PCIe slot is reasonably safe, and you will not notice a performance hit on these 6 pin cards unless you put another 8x or 16x card in that riser that is "always on." These IBM servers have the advantage over the Dell 1950 and 2950 models in that they have PCI power sockets, where the Dell's do not, and external power is needed to install a graphics card. Also, you might check to see if your AMM module still works since graphics cards installed in servers can sometimes cause remote management ports not to work and vice versa. Dell had an huge problem with that as many tinkerers discovered.

[@lesgarten]

Tyler Barton I'm interested in seeing if the IMM is still working as well.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Tyler Barton Les Garten welllll the IMM do work,,the remote controle,, not so much. :-) I am hoping that there will be Somewhere in Bios/UEFI thing,, where I can choose graphics card. I did not get a look at that. Friday comes a video with PCI-e x16 two PCI-e x1 and a benchmark test. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@lesgarten]

My PlayHouse That's exactly how my Supermico IPMI works. I am skeptical that you will find a fix for it, but hope you do.

[@nickmahler5307]

Hi, do you or someone else know how much power the 6-pin connector in the x3650 M3 can deliver? Couldn't find anything on the internet...

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Nick Mahler I googled it and fund : pci-e + 6pin = upto150watts. in addition to the standard 75 given by the pci-e slot the 6 pin will add up to another 75w. Here : www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-2332686/power-pin-connector.html I do think i have heard that number before.. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@n646n]

My system x3300 m4 freezes entire system at a solid dash in top left corner with my gtx 1660 ti, but not with my gt 1030 or onboard graphics. What bios setting will fix this? Diagnostics even freeze the entire system on the 1660 ti. It worked years ago, and GPU works on other systems. I used a molex adapter for the 8 pin

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi @trueretrogamer Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@chrislowe8085]

Would love to know if the G6 DL380 HP does path through? My DL 380 G5's do not which kind of sucks. If anyone else knows by all means I would love to know.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Doomed ForLife Well it like the IBM´s,, the X3650 M1 do not, M2 and forward do. It needs the UEFI Bios i have read somewhere.. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@chrislowe8085]

k so the G6 has UEFI so it does support. I have a line on a G6 very very cheap. Hense why I ask. the IBM are still very very expensive vs the HP line here in Canada. I look at my IBM X335 unplugged. Very slow its a paper weight 1x Xeon 3.06ghz single core 3gb ram. Want it LOL.... pfsense runs on it (not using it atm). Would cost more to ship than its worth......

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Doomed ForLife Humm it needs to be EFI bios,,,not UEFI,, my mistake. Yes a x335 is more fun than valuable. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@RICARDOJDS93]

Hello my friend. would you have a change of testing any of the NVidia GTX cards?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Ricardo Silva I am afraid I do not own any of those :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@коментатор-л4з]

One of my dl380 g5 perfect work with nvidia card, but it use it as main. Also interesting what happens if you put two or mo videocards ?

[@MyPlayHouse]

What happens ?

[@ilyaberezovsky1816]

Good job)) It remains to put opensuse)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Ilya Berezovsky Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@Themoigt]

Finally you cleaned the lenses

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Themoigt I realy do try to make everyone happy :-) i have ordred new parts to try another wide angel lense,, but in China,, so i 30 days++ Thank you for watching! :-)

[@Themoigt]

My PlayHouse nice, you also should buy a microphone that you can put in the camera, but step by stem. You should turn all the lights in the room you're filming so the iso is lower and the noise in the image will be less

[@Themoigt]

Themoigt i mean step not stem

[@MyPlayHouse]

Well,, I have very mutch good film equipment,, since I also have a film prodoktions company. I cut film on a RED Scarlet, with camera crane, stady cam, boom with shotgun mic: Like we do here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoXKl6B7htCKb9E But i need to keep this so simple, that it´s not about the filming, it's what i am filming. I doun´t wanna set focus, set white balance and synchronize audio recordings from external recorders :-) I wanted to point and film. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@Themoigt]

My PlayHouse yeah i know what feels when you spend hours to set up a camera, i also don't spend much time in that, and even if you edit you basically die in the try, but its good as it is, its just a coment ;)

[@JeremyScalpello1]

Great video as always. Also, when will you pick the SSD winner?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Jeremy Scalpello From the Description of the video: "I draw lots 4 June 2015 and I must have received the codes before 12.00 GMT - the winner will be notified directly, and we can together find out how he or she best will receive the prize." Thank you for watching! :-)

[@JeremyScalpello1]

So who won?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Jeremy Scalpello I posted this on my Google+ his user id is "+Million User" and he is from Kazakhstan. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@MacerzRS]

Good video, also where do you use these servers for? Keep up the good work :)

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Macerz RS 3D rendering... Thank you for watching! :-)

[@alessandrobalestrucci9163]

Can someone tell me how to connect a GPU nvidia Tesla m2070 (2x6pin or 1x8pin) in a IBM system x3400 M3?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Alessandro Balestrucci Thank You very much! It has a TDP of 225W,, there is 75w in the PCI x16, there is 75w in a 6pin there is 150w in a 8pin. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@juliusgodinez1987]

how hot is it down there?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Julius Godinez Down??? My Datacenter is ground level..? Thank you for watching! :-)

[@brutalhaxx]

Would this work for the M1??

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +brutalhaxx No IBM x3650 M1 can not through,, for that you need a IBM x3650 M2 Thank you for watching! :-)

[@glennols]

What do you use this datacentre for?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Glenn Olsen I think i talk about that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpTNZHuweK19q9k But i build all this to do 3D MAX rendering. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@SHAHZAIB-sr7hn]

hey can i run gtx 1060 or 1070 in it with full speed?

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Shahzaib Ali I do not know,, I do not have those cards... I would think so,, if they fit in the server and do not use more than 175watt. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@amorphys]

Hi, nice video one question i put nvidia card in x3650 (M1) but is not working ....bios version 1.19 should work or is only for x3650M2 and M3 etc. I was put power from external because x3650M1 does not have power connector. Best Regards

[@MyPlayHouse]

HI +Robert Dumitru The x3650 M1 can not do pass through in VMware,, the CPU´s do not support VT-d,, which is needed. It probably will work with local OS,, like windows and linux. :-/ Do check out my video,, on powering a internal drive in x3650 M1 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXm1gXepZrSSjcU Thank you for watching! :-)

[@amorphys]

+My PlayHouse (Morten Hjorth) Yes i know my what i was wanted is to use graphics card only for testing not pass through with VMware....in my case was Quadro 4000 from Nvidia

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Robert Dumitru Okay,, i have really not tried that. Not had a use for a GPU in a x3650 M1,,,yet :-/ Do tell if you find some tricks! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@ralphg2771]

This is interesting, I don't cant recall if it was a typical IBM server, but months ago, two Nvidia titans were put into one for a cheap scientific computing machine (it was a horrible one, which I said it would be...) Its sad though, because I work at a data center for a hospital ,and they're actually having about of x3650s/M2/M3 destroyed since they want most machines to be M4's and the rest are virtual using cisco equipment. We still have a few dell and Hp but not much. I cant tell you how many DIMMs I've thrown away. The M3's have x5690 cpus as well. Nothing but a waste of good stuff..........

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +ralph richardson Lot of good stuff goes to waste every day,, well new stuff comes in! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@donaldsanor2359]

Can i share this on FB not sure if i will. Thank you! You remind of me and so much better. llol

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Donald Sanor You are welcome to share this youtube link on FB,, and many thanks for the kind words! Thank you for watching! :-)

[@ericdraven2219]

looks like projects simular to mine lol.... i was using one of them x1 gpu bit coin miner adapters for my dell t300 ... but it wasnt until i had a under powered power supply that i got annouyed lol and of course its proprietary power supply so i gave up aside from the fact that the cpu dont really offer 3d rendering so it would geek up alittle sometimes gaming lol ... but the gpu worked for xen server on a older sparkle gpu

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Eric Draven Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

Pls play a video game on this. I want to see video game performance

[@MyPlayHouse]

Sorry I am not much of a gamer 😬

[@Vevuu-o4h]

@@MyPlayHouse oh ok. no problem :D i already installed an rtx into another pc. i was thinking of making this gaming but after i saw this im like nope

[@TheEvalButterfree]

8 pin pcie power is 150 watts max, compared to 6 pin 75 watt. Personally I would stick with single 6 pin cards.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Ambrose tant-phillis Thanx for that info,,, i did not know that. I wona stick with single 6 pin cards to. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@HDFoxra]

I love how he always calls the male plugs "female" XD males have the parts that stick into things... Even if the metal components inside the connector is technically a circle/hole, the plastic that is the "connector" still "plugs into" things, and thus is male XD but man do I love these vids. Been binge watching evert one for DAYS now!

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Hikari Yes,, i do very often fuck up the gender of the plugs,, and i have also ordered the wrong sex on Ebay ones,, That sucked! I just ordered this on Ebay,, to try this out: www.ebay.com/itm/DVI-DVI-D-HDMI-universal-dummy-plug-DDC-EDID-emulator-fake-display-headless-/161718045404?hash=item25a7258adc So that will be interesting. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@HDFoxra]

+My PlayHouse (Morten Hjorth) I've been curious about dummy plugs. I built a small itx computer inside a shell made from Legos just for the heck of it, and used it as a small file sharing computer for my parents. But it would often fail to fully boot because it wouldn't detect a display to output to, so I couldn't ever remote into it. Thought about using a dummy plug for it, but instead just installed something like freenas instead.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi +Hikari I did connected my little screen in the datacenter,, but it´s old and the resolution,,suks,, i have big hopes for this dymmy thing,,, but well i always have :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

[@MyPlayHouse]

+My PlayHouse (Morten Hjorth) Humm did i get a mail or,,ahhh :-)

[@HDFoxra]

+My PlayHouse (Morten Hjorth) what are you hoping to use the plug for? From what I understand, it just simulates a screen being attached so the computer will boot fully. Unless IBM servers are different, from my experience a server does that sort of thing already, its why windows 7 boots up fine on a server, but won't fully boot on a normal PC without a display plugged into it.

Hi Uncomfortably Numb It wass Hr. Themoigt who stated that my lens may be dirty,,, reality, is simply that I am not the sharpest :-) Thank you for watching! :-)

Hi Uncomfortably Numb Yes it will be hard to find someone to make subtitles for my masterpieces,,, :-) do i say that? Thank you for watching! :-)

[@uncomfortablynumb4001]

My PlayHouse I say dueable too. :-) We had a football manager here in the uk that invented a word like that in an interview on TV. "Bouncebackability". It was talked about in the papers for weeks. lol.

[@MyPlayHouse]

Hi Uncomfortably Numb "Bouncebackability",, that is a cool word,and very funny. It is very difficult to follow your slang! I really enjoy seeing her emmablackery from the UK. but it can be a challenge to understand some of the body parts that really have many names. Among young Britons. Thank you for watching! :-)

[@uncomfortablynumb4001]

My PlayHouse Well I heard you use a very English phrase recently. "My Arse" lol so you are not as short on slang as you think. :-) You are right about certain (ahem) body parts having lots of slang names though. We have thousands for those. Haha. BTW I am not as young as you probably think. But I am young at heart. :-P' ' ' ' ' Just for your information. I am also UNumbTV & Hayling Billy I am often logged into all 3 at the same time. Which name I comment with is determined by which channel I am viewing when the G+ notification pops up. P.S. I am intrigued to see how you got that rock out of the pond.
