if you have already received the test report in the server provision welcome email, you can find the cpu/disk info in the test report PDF, so you can got the information before install the server, if you don't want it, you can request refund during first 14 days, but once you have installed it, you can't request refund anymore...
but sometimes you don't got this test report, I have two ks-1, the one in RBX have report, but the one in BHS have not got any...
It MIGHT be fixed after a Windows Update on the machine, i'm currently doing that on @Sylmae's machine.
Gotcha. Thanks a bunch!
In case you they don't give you a report, you can still boot into recovery and check for yourself. This way, you can still return it since no OS is installed.
Based on what I've seen with ordering four servers (two in BHS, one in RBX, and one in GRA) it seems that French servers come with reports but Canadian ones don't, so that's the only way to check there.
I haven't had installed it, thanks, will do!
Where can I request the refund?
Try their forum... and wait!
you can install windows

Not sure what's going on but here's the speed I'm getting from BHS Canada to CrashPlan's server in Seattle:
CrashPlan compresses files in transport and reports the "uncompressed" speed, is that what you're seeing?
I think that's just the speed of hashing/verifying checksums (hence "0 of 1219 sent").
KS-2 with Intel Atom N2800 in France available again.
Any news regarding the upgrade to 1gbps connection? Plus are older kimsufi servers going to get a hdd upgrade or does this only apply to the newly bought ones?
The HDD upgrade will only apply for new orders.
Regarding speed upgrades, you can check http://status.ovh.com/ for updates. They call it "Modernization". They are replacing switches at their own pace, supposedly only in RBX1-4. The new download speed would be 1Gbps down and 100Mbps up.
So if I'm in RBX5 I can forget the upgrade, right?
Yes, unfortunately, RBX5's hardware is probably too new to be replaced. (So is RBX4 for that matter) They seemed to be focused on replacing broken/end of life switches first and I have not even seen any switch being replaced in RBX4 yet.
What about the Canadian servers... are they getting 1Gbps as well (sorry, don't know if they're RBX1-4 or not)?
Canadian data center for OVH is called BHS. Kimsufi servers are only in BHS1 and It is lacking bandwidth as is so I don't imagine any time soon.
I have not seen ks1 can be ordered for three days:(
Octave said they're going to gradually upgrade all KS to 1Gbps. They're just starting with RBX1.
Just ordered one of the KS-2 plans, but if I compare my specs to Joodle's then I see my CPU is showing a different CPU frequency. Why? Is it due to the fact that I selected custom and opted not to take Kimsufi's Linux Kernel?
Joodle:
Me:
Also Power_On_Hours for drive. Does the below mean I've only had 80 hours or am I reading the value wrong. Looks like a brand new disk to me...
@jeromeza @joodle probably turned off powersaving or told the OS governers to run at 100% corespeed rather than 50% or whatever.
@jeromeza The server uses Intel SpeedStep technology, the processor frequency will scale up to 1.8Ghz when required.
Your HDD has only 80 hours of use.
@jeromeza that's called Intel SpeedStep
@kcaj @0xdragon @wych - Thanks.
So nothing to worry about then as it should automatically scale up if needed?
Exactly.
Yep.
I turned off the speedstep on mine, I found it did slow it down. Maybe speedstep is more effective on the more power hungry cpus.
