legit speechless
wym, it only took 3 weeks to build after 3 months of RnD
hushed valley
how?
shrewd island
what are the cards at the top
the red cards are PCIe x4 to U.2 carrier cards for the micron 7300s
hushed valley
ah, makes sense
shrewd island
the memory is a weird story
shrewd island
you need at least four of these for quad cpu configs, the DDR3 model only supports 8XXX v1/v2 cpus. Each of these costs about $36 each
hushed valley
what board even is that
shrewd island
the DDR4 version costs about $1000 each, but somebody decided to buy the DDR3 memory cards and paired them with the v3/v4 (ddr4 supporting) processors and it works because the memory controllers are the same
hushed valley
god...
shrewd island
so the silver things in the picture are the memory controllers, each card gets two
hushed valley
ah
i still wanna know what board that is, never seen a board that supports 4 cpus like that
shrewd island
the motherboard is an x10qbi

they exist only because they hold high amounts of memory
it's a proprietary 19 inch x 17 inch form factor and it only fits in this case and the original server rack
hushed valley
interesting, on my short amount of probably wrong research, seems affordable, besides the board

where do those even go
in between the gpu?
shrewd island
in between the gpu?
there are no gpus, those are the memory cards
hushed valley
wait what...
shrewd island
no gpus yet*****
shrewd island
so my real question is why
it's honestly a game of 7d chess with hardware price per dollar
Multi thread perf is about the same as a threadripper 3970x and I paid $340 total for my CPUs. You can get them for $30-50 each now
hushed valley
hm, how many sticks of ram is there in there
shrewd island
I really wanted the pcie lanes for a deep learning box and this was also the cheapest ways to get them
hushed valley
fair enough, i was also looking at getting a threadripper, but started leaning over toward the 5950x
shrewd island
if you need single thread, don't buy this platform, the fast single thread cpus cost hundreds of dollars each
hushed valley
wanted alot of cores and alot of lanes, but dont want to pay sum 5000 usd for a 3990x
hushed valley
if you need single thread, don't buy this platform, the fast single thread cpus ...
i would have seperate machines
interesting
so how much was it in total
shrewd island
i would have seperate machines
I wanted to get into VMs and this was built for it. I paid $2400 total not counting the case
shrewd island
thats actually a really good price
it's the price of one threadripper 3970x
hushed valley
yeah
shrewd island
these the boards?
I bought four of those MEM1 cards, and got 24 sticks of 8GB Rdimms for around $1.10/GB
hushed valley
i took a look at the board and it seemed like there was more room for more boards?
shrewd island
i took a look at the board and it seemed like there was more room for more board...
you can have two memory cards PER cpu
they will make most of your pcie slots inaccessible without riser cables however. You will be able to double your memory bandwidth tho
hushed valley
72 ram slots 😂
shrewd island
72 ram slots 😂
I laugh at casual threadripper owners
hushed valley
about 500 usd to get ram for all of that, 572gb
shrewd island
that's really cheap lol
hushed valley
it is
shrewd island
I suppose 8gb rdimms are unusable in every other system lol
hushed valley
got my ddr4 128 for 602
hushed valley
I suppose 8gb rdimms are unusable in every other system lol
probably, as they want higher capacity
shrewd island
you need the MEM2 cards for DDR4 in this thing
which they don't exist as far as I can tell because they are still in use
shrewd island
I read somewhere that these systems are deployed on ohio class nuclear submarines
mfs hoggin all the ddr4
hushed valley
save some for the rest of us
shrewd island
I got arch linux installed today and I intend on being able to host a 10 person lan party with csgo virtual machines
ez 60 fps
shrewd island
I intend on getting a4000s in the near future and splitting them
hushed valley
not bad
im probably gonna either get my friends 10980, or end up getting a 5950x, all the other options are just not worth it for me
shrewd island
running 3090s with a 10980 would be painfully bottlenecking
hushed valley
hahaha
shrewd island
they are just refreshed 6th gen HEDT if I'm not mistaken
hushed valley
he runs 2
i run 2 on a 11900k, still just as painful, but just wishing i had more cores
hushed valley
they are just refreshed 6th gen HEDT if I'm not mistaken
not exactly sure
hushed valley
it was convincing to do something like you did till the ddr3 part and the most likely pcie 3
shrewd island
are you passing through to a second vm or rendering 3d videos for only fans?
shrewd island
5950x is where its at for you
hushed valley
wish i could have 2 instances of windows, splitting the 5950x so i could use 2 vr headsets on the same pc
shrewd island
I just installed arch linux from a livestream vod of SomeOrdinaryGamer from a year ago. It does passthrough and has great support for virtualization
hushed valley
would it be possible to vm windows with gpu?
shrewd island
yeah people do it for gaming on arch linux
hushed valley
interesting
shrewd island
your 1-5% performance loss will be unnoticeable with 3090s
I think having to run them both on 8 lanes is hurting perf more
hushed valley
yeah, its not as bad as pcie 3.0 8x
it could be worse, the performance is still outstanding
shrewd island
it's just running them in pcie 3.0 x16 so it can't be that bad
shrewd island
you would only "struggle" in heavy rendering tasks that are memory intensive
hushed valley
in some cases, but still really didnt see much of a drop in performance when i went from 16x to 8x
it was there though
shrewd island
do you have a use for nvme ssds running pcie 3.0 with 4 lanes or 4.0?
this is actually a really good deal
hushed valley
hahah was looking at that before you posted your computer
shrewd island
two full bandwidth 3090s + full bandwidth storage and more memory capacity
hushed valley
do you have a use for nvme ssds running pcie 3.0 with 4 lanes or 4.0?
i dont actually know what they run at, i have a raid card running at 4.0 4x i assume off the chipset
hushed valley
two full bandwidth 3090s + full bandwidth storage and more memory capacity
would be amazing
shrewd island
raid card?? You are running sas cables to your storage? Based
hushed valley
nah nah nah, came with my motherboard, nvme 4.0
shrewd island
or you mean those m.2 carriers?
hushed valley
yeah those
shrewd island
aaaaah the gigabyte one?
hushed valley
yes.
shrewd island
I snagged one for $40 a year ago and I gutted it for the thermal pads and copper coldplate for my gpu
hushed valley
lol
shrewd island
hushed valley
i sent mine in for rma and it took them 3 months
shrewd island
that's what it is from
hushed valley
oh lmao
well its not that one i dont think unless you cut it off
its the one that holds 2 drives
shrewd island
ah you have the mini one
hushed valley
yup came with the z590 xtreme
hushed valley
its bad
shrewd island
it really is that fucking old
hushed valley
yeah thats why i was only gonna use it if i could get it from my friend for free
shrewd island
wait mine is actually better O_O
shrewd island
shrewd island
ah nvm, I looked at the wrong site
shrewd island
3960x has more features than the 10980xe arguably
hushed valley
cough cough pcie 4
hushed valley
88 iirc?
shrewd island
I think so
shrewd island
I thought it had more mem channels too but I'm not sure
hushed valley
i dont think so
shrewd island
I think above 64 is the epyc
ah the epyc have 8 channel
threadrippers didn't which is sad but whatever
shrewd island
yeah but the single thread is dogwater
hushed valley
yup.
shrewd island
you may as well buy a 1700x and call it a day
shrewd island
I just have a less power efficient epyc system tbh
hushed valley
how much do you pull from the wall
shrewd island
full cpu load was 1300W with prime95 according to the kilowatt. Fortunatley, this thing is idling most of the time because I don't do CPU intensive things
hushed valley
not bad
shrewd island
the memory cards are worse than the cpus
hushed valley
i do 1100 with gpu load and 1350 something with cpu too
hushed valley
the memory cards are worse than the cpus
i would believe so
shrewd island
just based on the amount of power pins on their connectors you can assume that
hushed valley
just looked... yeaaaa
shrewd island
my goal is to split this bad boy into two dual cpu systems and map the numa nodes or four single cpu systems. From there I would add in the appropriate amount of GPUs and market it as a remote access deep learning machine
do a little mining in the mean time perhaps
hushed valley
cpu mining? lol
shrewd island
gpu and hard drive mining
hushed valley
was gonna say
shrewd island
I would be better off buying shares of enron than cpu mining
hushed valley
cpu mining is unprofitable
shrewd island
I dumped my msrp 3060 ti's for $1337.69 on ebay and I've been waiting to buy back in
did some hard drive mining in the mean time and learned about servers
hushed valley
all of them for 1337 or
shrewd island
I already ROI'd on them anyway
hushed valley
same, i was mining with it for 6 months something
shrewd island
I sold my 2080 super for 750 and bought two 5600XTs which I used to buy two 3060 ti's
hushed valley
i bought a 6600xt and scalped it for 120 us over i feel so bad lol
shrewd island
then I sold both 5600xts and 3060 tis plus my mining ROII
hushed valley
i bought a 6600xt and scalped it for 120 us over i feel so bad lol
walked into micro center to grab some ssds and found out it was launch day
shrewd island
nice lmao
hushed valley
then I sold both 5600xts and 3060 tis plus my mining ROII
stonks
shrewd island
I think the gpu mining market is ewaste
shrewd island
pcie 1x links for GPUs is sad and useless
shrewd island
motherboards with a billion pcie 1x slots or 20 USBs that can't be used like normal usbs are sad
hushed valley
"bitcoin boards"
shrewd island
it's the reason why I bought this thing
I want to be able to pivot from mining to whatever I want in a heartbeat
hushed valley
yeah me too, i just want a system thats good at everything
shrewd island
yeah that's why I put my gaming pc and my mining server in the same chassis. We are basically the same but I'm poorer lol
can't afford to buy into one system
hushed valley
oh wait its a dual system?
shrewd island
yeah lmao
hushed valley
didnt even see
shrewd island
it's on the other side
shrewd island
yeah, it's not really the star of the show
hushed valley
tricking people into thinking your ram is your gpus, is
shrewd island
nobody expects it
hushed valley
i mean especially from the lower quality picture

shrewd island
I have another system that is decom right now, trying to find a pic
IBM Cloud Object Storage Slicestor 3448
snagged it for $350 on facebook marketplace
hushed valley
the chassis?
hushed valley
what the, what kind of ebay are you on
hushed valley
ah yes, selling governmental computer hardware on facebook marketplace
completely normal
Heres mine while im at it
shrewd island
they can come and take it from my cold dead hands
hushed valley
lol
shrewd island
Heres mine while im at it
very cute
shrewd island
I did the research into how much rad space I would need to do that for 8 GPUs and 4 xeon cpus and it turns out my TT W200 case can fit just enough that it would probably be better than air by a few degrees while being the worlds most profitable space heater
hushed valley
i used to run dual thin 360 in the h710i
felt small, and i thought it was heavy till i switched to this
weighs like 75 pounds
shrewd island
only 75 pounds O_O
hushed valley
what do you mean only...
shrewd island
I'm surprised the casters on my pc haven't broken yet
shrewd island
lets do the math quick
I'm gonna ignore my gaming pc because it has a 240mm aio and that would be unfair
hushed valley
"unfair" cries in 60mm 480mm
shrewd island
I actually have always wanted to calc this, give me a moment while I find product weight
hushed valley
i put it on the scale
shrewd island
almost done
hushed valley
"quick math"
shrewd island
4x1.41 lbs (4x NH-U12 i4 coolers)

1.8 lbs (240mm Corsair Capellix AIO)
3.0 lbs (Supermicro X10QBi mobo)
4x5.5 lbs (Memory card w/ ram installed)
63.7 lbs (Thermaltake Core W200)
ignoring everything else in build
Total: 119.29 lbs not including case fans, 5 cpus, cables (oml so many), gaming rig HDDs, HDD mounting brackets, 1050 ti, quadro m400 with 2lb copper coldplate installed, and all of my tears still trapped inside the chassis while I built it
hushed valley
last part is relatable
shrewd island
yeah
shrewd island
your tears can still be used tho
hushed valley
this happened twice
hushed valley
your tears can still be used tho

thanks, I'll use that for my patreon content rendered in blender cycles on cpu
shrewd island

fair enough
shrewd island
but according to GPU lore, your 20000 parallel cuda cores is no match to my 144 independently-operating threads
hushed valley
hmmmm

shrewd island
I only square up to treadrippers in perf/$
don't even get me started on pcie lanes and ram capacity
hushed valley
lol
shrewd island
120 lanes btw humble brag wowowow owned threadripper owners get poorshamed by the poor
hushed valley

shrewd island
just gonna send this to your dms so I don't get banned, found it in my favorites

and this all started because I couldn't afford a threadripper 3970x
