    I have purchased three KS-4A servers at this time.

    The CPU of them are all Intel W3530 2.8G.

    CPU's are good, seems like it's mostly i7 920/950 & xeon W3530's - benchmarks are a couple of posts above your one.

  • Bhs is rubbish for what I use them.
    Got atoms in the past, an today a 920@ r b x.

    Don't ask me why this is a featured thread, or why it's the most popular thread of the day...

    Stop trying to be most popular. Go sober and stop caring!

    I haven't seen a comparable dedi offer from a credible dedi provider in north america up til now. There have been some slightly better European offers like online's. I just renewed my KS-2E(?) for another 6 months earlier today, sigh. I'd have been happy to trade it up to a KS-4C. Looks like I'd have to set up yet another OVH/Kimsufi account to get this, too. I'm going back and forth... I don't really want 5 dedis...

    Edit: just ordered KS-4C for 3 months since I'm a doofus.

    Edit 2: cpu is Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570S CPU @ 3.10GHz. I ran the install script and chose Debian 9. It installed Debian 7. I'll upgrade it with apt-get but that is lame.

    It's out of stock for france version (KS-4A), still in stock for canada (KS-4C)

  • williewillie Member

    added: my disk is HGST HUS724020ALA640 with 19837 POH, no obvious SMART problems, not bad. 2.2 years = probably still in warranty even.

  • Not getting validated on the US site for the KS-4C and deal expired. Apparently kimsufi.com and us.kimsufi.com have separate login & validation requirements..

    Ordered one in France, got 4790k CPU. Makes up for the high price.

    link?

  • Yeah, but the account isn't validated so stuck in limbo. Don't know why you need two IDs, and the funny thing is both have same email ID! Different databases, I guess...

    Intentional different databases and different company entities to prevent US from exerting complete power over ovh eu

  • williewillie Member

    I wasn't asked for any ID, but I have accounts at several of the other OVH properties, so maybe they connected them. I did get a Verified By Visa interception and had to call the card company to get the charge approved.

    I remember being in a validation hold at kimsufi.ie when I got my KS-2E. They eventually released it without asking ID from me there either, but I had opened a ticket with them noting that I had an ovh.us account with active services.

  • For Canadian KS4C, i' ve just got i5-3570s cpu, is that better than w3530?

    The i5 is a bit faster (per passmark) but the w3530 is a Xeon and if it comes with ECC ram, that might be worth the trade down in speed.

    By far.

    Xeon just a name for server line. :)

    Nope, W in W3530 stands for workstation :p

    I would think so: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-W3530-vs-Intel-Core-i5-3570

  • williewillie Member

    It occurs to me, I used to pay around $60/m for this exact same server at BHS, under the OVH brand, except that one had 2x 2TB instead of 1x.

  • damn, to late :/
