The AX41-NVMe Dedicated Root Server houses the powerful third generation Ryzen 5 3600 CPU from AMD, which is based on Zen 2 architecture. With two speedy 512 NVME SSDs and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, this model is perfect for creative workloads and applications that have high multi-threading requirements.

  • I think this is insanely cheap for the performance.

    Thanked by 2vimalware Hetzner_OL
  • Is the ECC upgrade worth it?
    Do you think setup feea will be waived for BF?

  • if you live outside of the EU, can do you still have to pay VAT?

    Thanked by 1isunbejo
  • @hjlow no vat for customers outside EU

    Nice! But:

    • Yes I'd want ECC but I'd rather have 32GB ECC at the same price as 64GB non-ECC, than pay the price bump for 64GB non-ECC.

    • I see there is an AX51 for 20 more euro, with 3700X and 2x1TB NVMe and ECC. It would be good to have a 3900X option (the 3900X shortage is mostly cleared up by now) or 3950X once those are out. 3600 to 3700X is not that big of a cpu upgrade.

    • Generally this stuff should be priced competitively with the EX line and it would be nice if the available configurations were more similar. My own stuff is data intensive so I don't really need NVMe, or would be fine with a small NVMe for system stuff etc. I'd go for all-HDD instead. So I wish the configurator allowed dropping the NVMe, or (in the other direction) upgrading it or replacing it with high performance NVMe (not sure what the default is).

    • Right now the ECC ram upgrade is 6 euro, and then it's another 14 euro to go to 2x1TB NVMe and 3700X. I guess that's reasonable in terms of hardware value, but again I don't find large NVMe that important. So I'd rather that the base AX51 stay with the smaller NVMe or allow downgrading it. NVMe is for highly active data like databases, and who really has a TB of that? HDD is still a lot more cost effective for large amounts of static data.

    • I wonder if there will be a Finland deployment at some point.

    Btw I just moved one of my smallish sqlite3 databases from SSD to tmpfs (ramdisk) on a buyvm slice and it makes a huge difference. Of course ramdisk means the data is lost if the box crashes, but that is ok for this particular db (it is a special purpose proxy cache). So if the update rate is not high and if I can get some kind of replication story together for persistent data, using that 64gb hetzner ram as a big tmpfs might be an interesting approach. Again big NVMe doesn't really come into it. It is limited by the ram size after all.

  • I guess this is not overclockable lol
    but it's really a good price.

    Or surPRICES, amirite?

    I'll show myself out.

  • Just took one (nvme, no ecc)
    It's a beast :)

    I got one of the 3700X. Guess it's time to replace the two last OVH servers I have in Europe.

  • Can someone do smartctl and tell the make/model of the NVMe disks?

  • Thank God they released this before the end of the month. Ample time to cancel some of my overpriced SSD servers from OVH and SYS. Hetzner simply does not cease to impress me.

    Thanked by 2vimalware Hetzner_OL
  • Sunnyg, I like that AMD is getting some love, but these aren't THAT different from the EX line in terms of capabilities or pricing. That will change when the bigger processors (3900x, 3950x) are offered :).

  • 3900x now pls!

  • There is only one minus, with storage version You are getting only 2x2TB (EX42 has 2x4TB).

  • I'm wondering EX42 and AX41 which is better for video encoding, anybody shares a geekbench score for ax41 plz,thank you

    AX41 due to ryzen stats on encoding and also more cores.

  • I hope there will be some BF discount's :)

    Motherf***ers! Now I know why I can't find any asrockrack motherboards for ryzen/threadripper in EU stores for my home lab -.- I can bet that Hetzner got them all, like pokemons ...
