Hi. I have a Core i7 7700K server. When I am on the var server it jumps 0.050-0.060. How can you make the var as faceitb, etc.?
OS: ubuntu-16.04-x86_64
Many topics have reviewed and tried, but really nothing happened.

Try to tweak your kernel.

If you want to get var like faceit, you should change CPU to Xeon with higher frequency - Xeon is working better with single core applications like CS:GO (for ex. Xeon E3-1270v6 which faceit uses at some locations), but a bit less stable with more players than i7. Then you can try to tweak kernel to get more.

make your own kernel and use tuned-adm and set the profile to latency-performance.
my var is 0.002-0.006 with 24+ players at 128 tick. (i7-7700k)

My var is 3.xxx + when the server gets full, my host refuses to help and says var etc are irrelevant values. He says the server is already optimized etc etc
We also have a 7700K iirc, I wonder if you could point me in a direction as to how I can fix this?
Kinda getting tired of having var yellow/red all the time. And I'm sure it's NOT something normal.
Sadly I don't have access to the machine itself so I guess I should have to come up to him with a solution ready to be implemented, otherwise nothing's going to be changed :/
At first we tried to tweak rates and so on on the server.cfg file (CS:GO server) but that didn't work at all (kinda obvious)

Use windows if you can.
Use an optimized server.cfg

Fix:
1.Check your current CPU core frequencies with i7z(run as root).
2.If CPU core frequencies lower than 4ghz on every core https://askubuntu.com/a/523690

Look at mine, var is fine https://imgur.com/a/I0Cv0

so some replies in here saying to run windows, other people say "make your own kernel and use tuned-adm" which i think is linux stuff..

which OS is better for keeping var and sv values optimal? I currently am using a VDS, and our most active server is 128T with 24-32 players at peak.. sv spikes a lot, var does a little too. Here is a rundown of my VDS:
"Your server is currently being hosted on a 6 cores of a Dual Intel Xeon E5-2697Av4 (Broadwell 2.6ghz) node with 6 total processor cores and 7 gigabytes of RAM"
Im not sure that adding more CPU/RAM will do much.. but maybe. or maybe a better/newer cpu with a faster single-core clock speed. Or I could switch to a different OS (currently Win 2012 i think) and/or optimize it more.
Not sure

Debian/Ubuntu Server for sure. Look at my post above on power saving.

It does not mean that you own power of whole dedicated machine.
