I just wanted to check-in here. I have been piecing together my own HP DL585 G7 to tinker with. I am almost complete with my build. I am hoping that it will be sufficient for me to host my GPU farm. This is the *only* thread that I have been able to find where an individual has decided to purchase one of these monsters for themselves.
Here is a picture of my progress so far. I have obtained a pair of ES Opteron 6272's. From the research that I have done, these engineering sample CPUs have unlocked multipliers.. hopefully I'll be able to optimize these unique opteron properties
. Of the 10 GPUs that I have for this machine, three of them have waterblocks. So watercooling the CPUs is in store
That's all for now, just wanted to say hello.
