Can someone explain server setups to me?

[GrenadesAndHamm]

I'm at the point in the game where I have the 2U devices. I dont seem to have much luck reducing the network traffic load, usually at about 50-60 percent, no matter what I do or how many I add. They are all configured. I have them overclocked to 120 percent, all the lights are green. I have the small server fans in them. I have been adding two server fans to a small rack with four 2U's of various types (database, cache, web).

I imagine I'm adding too many of one kind and not another of another. What's a good ratio for the most part? Whats best for reducing power draw, cooling, etc?

Thanks for your help!

yes you put way to much from one or two ;)
but many ppl will do this in the beginning.

first you need to balance all your server to get a match.
click on your server room. on the bottom you can see numders. best match would be all green. if someone yellow means he is behind and need to bring on the same amount as the green (biggest) one. so refill the lowest green one will raise your overall cu for your server.

click on a rack. here in the start page you can see the income of each server. the number in a perfect world would be even. if nott reduce some clockspeed and raise some clock speed until it match. the first server dont need to match at all. you will kick them later if you get the large rack ^^


i will give some example how i use my server to match as good as possible.

1 x small rack
2 x 2uwebcache
1 x 2ucache (oc 109%)
1 x 2udatabase (oc 150%)
2 x smallrackcooler

this is nearly equal. but small racks are not that good and in long term you would get heat problems.

now endgame large rack
1 x large rack
2 x web xserver
1 x cache xserver
1 x database xserver (oc 140%)
8 x small rackcooler

with this setup you generate 42k of each server and you dont need any external cooling.

i hope this helped you a bit and give you the tools to experimental in your own way.
