Re: TS-879 Pro RAM Upgrade options ?

Post by Denis 965 »

Hello JCL,

I know I am late on your topic, but I have a 879 Pro backplane in a QNAP that I cannot get the motherboard to start anymore. It would allow you at least to use 8 disks and the full power of your 1079 Pro.
Would you be interested by the backplane or even the full 879 Pro?

I am located in Switzerland, so I am not sure what it would then mean for the port, depending on your location.

Best regards,

Denis

I recently bought a used 879 Pro and inspired by this thread (special thanks to nistem) I performed the ram upgrade to 16 GB (same as nistem uses). That went flawless!

I had an i7-2600S (65 TDP) laying around from an old build, and as I figured it might work as an upgrade, I replaced the i3-2120. The upgrade itself went without any problems: the new cpu was recognized by the BIOS and the QTS 4.2.1 ran fine and recognized all cores. Just out of curiosity I wanted to see what the upgraded cpu meant performance, so I streamed a blu-ray ripped movie from Plex to two sources that both required transcoding. As I tried to stream to a third source the cpu could not keep up anymore...

Out of curiosity I logged into the shell via Putty and poked around. It turned out that "cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies" showed a range of frequencies from 1600000 to 2800000. As the i7-2600S is a 2.8 GHz cpu with turbo-boost up to 3.8 GHz I was a little surprised not to see any frequencies above 2.8 GHz.

On forum.qnap.net.pl I found a thread about upgrading the cpu on the ts-x70 and thanks to Google translate I found out that the BIOS in ts-x70 does not support turbo-boost. As my findings imply that is probably also the case with the x79-series...

My conclusion so far: when you choose a replacement processor then be aware that it probably only will run at its base frequency.

As next step I have mostly for fun ordered a used Xeon E3-1275 which has a base frequency of 3.4 GHz (and will sell the i7-2600S) to see what performance that brings...

Update will follow...
I wish Jatoff would have posted his update. I'm looking to do the same thing.
