I know exactly what you are saying!Wholly $h!t is right. How loud are these? I can kinda guess the power draw based on my first build.
I recently got my first C6100 with 2 nodes for ~500 before I saw the whole c6100 thread.
I need to stay off of STH & eBay to stay married
Your post made me to think someone paid $2600 for it.@bmc2 you got a great deal! Someone just bought the last one at the listed price $2600
Thanks! Offered $250.00, within seconds they counter offered $300.00, felt like if I counter offer them I am too cheap, so took the offer , plus $35.00 shipping, total is $335.00.SHIT! ...they just accepted a $300 offer on Intel R2312GL4GS Server System 2U Rack, Socket R, New Bulk Packaging
...this forces my hand on building another dual 2670 box... why did they do this to me?!
Yes, definitely.been reading this thread for a few days need some opinions my current work station
i7 5820k
16gb ddr4
do you guys think id see a performance bump if i were to get a dual e5-2670k setup with like 128gb ddr3?
I'm not no gamer mostly do video encoding etc
I read through their article and one thing that stuck out for me is that in their testing and findings for handbrake video encoding they made claims that they were only seeing 30% utilization when encoding a single video and that they gained benefits of running multiple instances.A little late to the party, and making some semi-questionable component choices, but the word is spreading...
Building a 32-Thread Xeon Monster PC for Less Than the Price of a Haswell-E Core i7
offered 300, 2 Minutes later they accepted ...
Shipping is 121 Euro on Top, plus ca. 20% customs - still a Good Deal ...
at least i know where to put my 2670's and some ram that might be left now, will give a nice toy for the Labs
Yep, definitely still a catch.damn i got also one, but offered him 400, still Good Deal ^^
Well, they were only doing 720p and who knows what quality preset. There are so many variables and they didn't get specific.I read through their article and one thing that stuck out for me is that in their testing and findings for handbrake video encoding they made claims that they were only seeing 30% utilization when encoding a single video and that they gained benefits of running multiple instances.
This is not what I'm experiencing in my setup. I'm running a single instance of handbrake 64-bit encoding a single video file in h.264 @1080P under a Windows Server 2012 VM which has 16GB RAM and 16 cores allocated to it and I'm seeing close to 100% utilization at the guest OS and also under ESXi 6.0 U2 performance charts for extended periods of time. My encoding process has been going for about 35 minutes and the CPU usage hasn't dropped off.

Good luck with that. It's a total mess. They seem generally uninformed and there's a few people who can't stop arguing about stupid stuff.I've posted in their thread on the article to get more details.
1. You don't need anything more, it already has everything. The lite enables the same features as whats already included but without the dedicated NIC. See here Intel® Remote Management ModuleFor those of you that bought the kalleyomalley deal on the Intel R2312GL4GS... couple questions and comments:
- Do you need the RMM4Lite AXXRMM4R kit to enable the extra IPMI features? Included items lists a "IntelRemote Management Module 4". I don't need the extra NIC but wondering what I'm not getting without the upgrade key if it's not included (remote KVM / remote USB?)
- Looks like by default only 4 of the 12 drives bays will be enabled, correct? Are you guys getting the C600 RAID upgrade kit and/or SAS expander or dropping in something like an IBM M1015 and connecting the other two SAS ports on the backplane?
- V1 kit vs V2 kit: looks like the only difference between the two are the firmare versions installed so seems like it's possible to bring the V1 upto the V2 versions.
