You are bringing back memories of mining bitcoin for two years. I converted a room next to my garage that was a pool/storage room. Had the power company run two 250 amp panels. Had forty ant miners and four racks full of blade servers. Don't miss the $4-6k a month power bills though, and the noise. Luckily, my neighbors were chill at that house. I would definitely look into a whole panel surge suppressors. They aren't expensive and I think they cost me $300 each /w my brother in law who owns an electrical services company installed it in half an hour w/ his cousin. Had a lightning strike take out both panels, so I feel your pain. The lightning blew out the ground in all panels at my house, so that sucked, but it COULD have been worse. Glad to see your channel has grown. You popped up a few days ago and I am setting up my 2pb worth of drives again. Meant to sell them, but they were sitting in a cabinet for a year and a half. :( Enjoying the plotting and gigahorse that Max put out, nice code. Sad I sold my house with my pool room datacenter, lol. Keep up the great job man! :)

Good stuff!!! Great overview. The thickest 3-conductor cable I've pulled has been 6/3 copper and even that was a pain in the rear to manage. It's not heavy really, it's just that the dang stuff doesn't bend easily. I can't imagine what pulling that AL cable was like, looks like 2/0 maybe?

@DigitalSpaceport 4 месяца назад

1/0 and yeah it was a very hard pull in the 3:12 pitched roof. The amount of time getting each extra foot pulled in sucked. That the inlet to the attic of course in the furthest pinched corner made it horrible also. The AL is indeed not heavy but man doing that by myself was for sure a bad day. After I got it into the attic, I had to route it under the ducting and stuff and what a mess that all was.

Great setup, I’m striving to achieve something like that for my work/startup. It’s definitely cheaper than running on the cloud. Just curious if you could share what type of processing do you do?

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

Yeah I do rendering of GIS information for massive amounts of land and that takes multiple steps and hits various components heavy at different stages. CPU is still heavily used also for lightmass static lighting however raytracing has come a really long way. That's the business data side of things and is why I keep the R930s around... Its not often I need 1TB+ of RAM, but when you do you just do. I would rate my GPU side as pretty weak honestly in its configuration right now and I hope to improve upon it a lot. I have been thinking I should do a full rack tour to give folks all the details about what is in each machine.

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

It's 150-175 extra a month at 2.2 which isn't that bad at all. As long as I'm not running the r930's. Earns ~1k on XCH on 2 PiB and much more for the business data on 600TiB. If I used a clamp on the legs it would catch all the rest of the circuits running off the sub panel and it's a decent amount of added draw. Thanks

sub in EPYC for RPi and its happening. I wish RPi's could do real GPU compute workloads and had lots of PCIe lanes. I know ampre has some of those units but they are much more expensive vs Rome gen and the PCIe4 lane demand in this lab is very high.

@PeterHonig. 5 месяцев назад

Perhaps you mentioned this in a previous video, but I imagine that you might have some substantial costs in cooling your room and equipment. Though I find your implementation to be very impressive, and congratulate you on a job skillfully well done, I personally strive for high efficiency in power consumption. My equipment rack with two 2-bay Synology NAS units, one Planet modem, one Cisco router, five Cisco managed switches, 5 Cisco WAPs (not in the rack but powered from it), four Hikvision PTZ dome cameras, and two cooling fan units, only consumes a totalof 147 Watts. I think that my wife would not be too thrilled with me if I generated high utility bills as yourself. Anyway, have fun with your awesome system!

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

I also am continually striving to achieve more and more in the high efficiency in power consumption realms. I reuse the heat from the garage datacenter in a forced convection setup to heat the entire house during this winter so far. So far we have not had the Central Heater kick on. It may not be 1:1 but I will be measuring that at the end of January. 2.2 kW hourly 24/7 vs 10 kW heater packs kicking on every few hours this may be close. The total cost of running this is ~150/175 a month for just the racks. I do indeed have a window AC unit that blows directly into the face of the server racks you cannot see, which does need to run at least 7 months out of the year. I did insulate heavily and radiant barrier the walls/attic in the garage and that does help a lot also. In addition I did solar screens on the east facing window in the garage and a crazy insulation board insert. I'm also in the process of upgrading to all EPYC Rome servers and will be removing the most energy inefficient 2 switches as soon as I can get the SN2700 fully cut in. The ICX6610 is an absolute monster for wattage eating. I should also note that I do run a business that has intense data processing demands off one of the JBOD's worth of disks and have a dedicated PBS server running and doing incremental backups every few hours. I hope to get this down to the 1.5 kW range but increase overall effective processing power in the next few months. You are indeed running an order of magnitude less wattage but do you run Dockers/VMs off a dedicated machine?

@PeterHonig. 5 месяцев назад

@@DigitalSpaceport Thank you for your detailed explanation. Yes, I run six Docker containers and one VM on the two Synology NASs. What keeps my system busy the most is the surveillance app with its four high resolution cameras. On our dairy goat farm we this to monitor the stalls in our barn 24x7. About 80% of our network traffic is Intranet as opposed to Internet. One of the nice things about our fairly low power consumption is that I am able to keep my rack in our telecom closet with the door shut, and not exceed 95 degrees F. The fans alone are enough to keep the equipment cool.

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

That's cool you could even run that pretty effectively off a simple solar setup I would bet without a massive effort. Mini PC's that are really good have come a long way also for a lot of tasks. Its a great time to be into nerdy computer stuff!

@jfbeam 5 месяцев назад

@@DigitalSpaceport _high efficiency in power consumption realms_ and yet, you appear to have a pretty good stack of older Dell's that aren't exactly efficient. ('tho cheap, and the power they use is still cheaper than $$$$$ new servers.) As for heating, I heat my house with gas... $30/mo. (it would cost more than that to heat a single room with just electricity.) Using otherwise "waste" heat is always a good solution. (that's how I keep my office warm.)

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

Well yeah and like I mentioned I am getting rid of the 12th gen Dells as fast as I can find cases for EPYCs, I have a new 7702+mobo waiting to be built (rack case hunting mode). The wattage on a R730xd vs R720xd however is neck and neck and while you do get more units of cores per gen13 on the CPU side, its not enough for me. Additionally available # of PCIe lanes at full speed is my biggest reason for having so many servers. These things are filled to the gills but the upgrade from PCIe3 to PCIe4 in addition to more than doubling cores makes the EPYC quest worthwhile for sure. The heat reuse is about to be put to the test this week LOL 😅

@carbongrip2108 5 месяцев назад

Whats your full base load? I am at ~3KW full time for just the rack and ~5KW when the HVAC is running. I also built my own UPS after my set of 3KW APCs died, I am rocking ~3-3.5 hours of runtime on battery and still hitting ~10ms transfer time. Using Lithium batteries also lets me dump power into them if the power only comes back for a short time, pretty handy.

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

The heaviest total load I hit was a total of 12 kW back when I had 2 of the Eatons in service. It was split across them pretty well but did take a full window AC running full blast nonstop to cool them also at around 1.5 kW extra power. Lucky I only had to run that for like 6 days.

@gcs8 5 месяцев назад

@@DigitalSpaceport Thats peek, not base, lol, also, did I hear you right in the video? The quad proc Dells pull 100W powered off, so you unplug them, but you have switched and metered PDUs? Why not just make a super simple script that when you send it something like "shutdown dell#1 --power-off" it tells the OS to shutdown, then polls the iDrac for state of powered on or off, then when it sees powered off in iDrac it then switches the outlets off. Similar for power on as well.

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

Oh yeah base is 2.2 and I need to figure out the snmp capability of these switches. The web interface is super slow so it's just faster to unplug them but automating that and especially logging an alert if I forget to hard switch them is needed bad. I have no idea what they are doing but yeah that's powered off completely. Not some standby mode.

@gcs8 5 месяцев назад

@@DigitalSpaceportI would assume a scripted post to the thing you wan to affect might suck less, but telnet/ssh/snmp are valid options also. Maybe the iDracs are mining crypto? lol, the only other thing I can think of, is maybe something like the IME on the procs are keeping them awake in a odd power state? or maybe it's keeping the RAM powered for some reason, I would need to grab a FLIR and see whats doing stuff based off of it generating heat or not.

@jfbeam 5 месяцев назад

Given the availability of "off-grid" hardware these days, there's really no need for a packaged UPS when you go bigger than "desk". Plus, around 1500VA, no one makes 120V models. (because 15A outlets.)

@Ivanos 5 месяцев назад

im always curious about this subject about america. here in the netherlands, we have 240v and 16amps per group (think you call it breaker) and thats standard here. previous house i had 10 groups of those. 3700w per group can be pulled here. How is that in america? thats just standard. we can also get (ill translate it litterly) powervoltage at home. thats 380v with 16 or 32 amp connection.

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

We can pull 200amps of service on most newish residential house. 1950-1980 150 amps total was common. Prior just 60 amps. I can install a second panel on the house for a second 200 amps or upgrade the current panel to 320 or 400 amps. Many house use 120vac for non appliance plugs.

@FrankyDigital2000 5 месяцев назад

Keep in mind that's 110VAC at 200A. A typical household in the Netherlands has a 3x25A connection, but with modern heat pumps or other power hungry stuff it's more like 3x50A

@hw2508 5 месяцев назад

Can you really the maximum from all circuits (groups?) at the same time? Usually not all circuits will be fully loaded. E.g. your lights wont use all the amps of the breaker they are on. You don't have all all devices running at the same time. etc. So your backup-fuse will be smaller than the sum of all the circuits that are connected to it. You might have ~80 amps for the whole house, 32 amps at the next level and then 16 amps for each group.

@jfbeam 5 месяцев назад

Most US residential connections are 240V split phase (single grid phase into a center tapped transformer) at 200A. However, several homes will share a 25KVA transformer, so we can't all go nuts at the same time. Only a handful of things throughout the house will have the full 240V... oven/stove, HVAC, clothes drier, electric water heater, EV charger. (Commercial can get whatever they need... 240 spilt, 240 3ph, 480 3ph, 600 3ph, ... I've even seen mills take grid power directly - 7200v)

They do have SNMP but I have not investigated if I can create an external interface for them yet to power of sockets/banks. They are also off 95% of the time so I don't spin them up usually more than once a month, but that will be accelerating in '24 so I do need to get a faster solution for that.

I my singel 22u rack i pulled on phase 16amp for a maximum of 3680w. When will US switch over? Is newer houses in the US making the switch little by little or is it only special use cases ?

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

Yes it is single phase service here. The service is rated for amps, not volts/watts, at least here in US. I could technically run everything 220 and the electric company would be fine with that, happy probably as I would use more wattage. I would not have most of the small appliances available and that would include TVs and bathroom stuff, lighting. Honestly lighting should be PoE LEDs with cool color options but that's a different topic entirely. When will the US switch is a very difficult question to answer and I suspect it will be never if we have not already started. I have not seen any residential that is ran all 220 unfortunately.

@DigitalSpaceport having watched jay2cents commercial places have a 240 with a step down transformer on site, it just seems more efficient like you said with the tower PC switching psu's are more efficient EDIT: I missed you saying poe lighting. This makes so much sense, and I have said that for years, we should do this. There is a standard similar to what lifts use where a extra low voltage signal is sent to a controller to power a lamp on. Even at this point with led use a separate 12v system. So much waste converting it on the spot per lamp

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

I feel like PoE could really be the solution to soooo much. TV's could be powered off them, Monitors, Lamps, Cell Chargers.... even really decent mini PCs could run off it direct. Then you don't need stepdowns and everything runs DC that's already going to invert it to DC at any rate. Would be a huge efficiency savings. I have HUE, which aside from their recent HA stance garbage take, would be awesome to have something like that running. Not to mention it would be much safer to have these lower voltage systems in houses. I'm ready for this future!

@ivanmaglica264 5 месяцев назад

Small comment... 100W of power each, per hour. That's like saying 100mph each, per hour. Unless you are accelerating, or in your case increasing wattage on hourly basis, the per hour is redundant. Great homelab though, hope you are not using it for chia mining :)

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

I think I accomplished my goal. Iwanted to make sure folks understand the costs for those R930s to be plugged in is insane even if they are powered off. I should have mentioned however all Dell gen 12/13 rack servers can draw some load even when off now that I think of it. It's .96c/day to leave those things plugged in powered off. It's pretty upsetting honestly I learned that not long ago so I get rather animated when talking about it. Probably wasted 300-400 bucks total on that before I found out.

@thegamerxd1526 5 месяцев назад

@@DigitalSpaceport i'm just curious what actually consumes that much in them if they are turned off? To me that sounds a little insane to be consuming this much while REALLY off

@DigitalSpaceport 5 месяцев назад

I can see the network is running somewhat, and that there is of course iDRAC access available. I have read there could be something related to a BIOS setting that is telling it to consume a constant load, I forget the name, but I need to investigate that more.

@ivanmaglica264 5 месяцев назад

@@DigitalSpaceport Hi again! Actually 100W per hour is an arguement that I had with my father (RIP). He said that the element is consuming 100W per hour. And I said, no it comsumes 100W, no "per hour". 100W is 100 Joules per second, 100W per hour would be 100 Joules per second per hour, which is (100/3600)Joules/s^2 (second squared), which would mean you would INCREASE your wattage every hour by 100W.

I would very much prefer it to be inside as well. They have started doing that more in recent years but this house is actually a but older, 1970s construction, and outdoor mounting was the standard then. We have arial poles, so it saves some money to have externally mounted mains but it is not a large savings. I had to remove all the aluminum and clad aluminum wires from the house as well so building standards in the last 50 years have changes drastically.
