The setup fee is refunded too. Source: just had $258 returned to me after Ampere Altra server did not behave as I expected after running it for 13 days.

- dizhn 3y agoI didn't know that. That really cool. I didn't get to experience it because I am quite a happy customer. (Knock on wood and don't publicly cross them huh) What was up with the Altra? I have a free instance (4 cores) on oracle cloud. Seems really capable.
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoI also had no problems with Hetzner's 16-core ARM cloud instances. Maybe just a faulty server.
- CrimsonRain 3y agowhat was the issue?
- EVa5I7bHFq9mnYK 3y agoIt was behaving strangely under load - worked for a few hours all right, then at some point all 80 cores invariably fell into 1GHz mode with no way to return them to work at normal 3GHz. Probably some software issue, because reboot (and only reboot) fixed it. But after reinstalling multiple kernels and much twiddling, I bailed. Otherwise, a wonderful processor.
- dizhn 3y agoI kind of sort of remember reading up on a throttling bug on a laptop that was said to behave like that. I think it was the GPU though.
