I cannot see any option?

As a backup we have also now purchased a Dynatron A39; it has good reviews and is rated for 280w TDP.

Yeah well spotted. What I liked about this seller is that on most of his Dell locked CPUs, the photos have a label saying "Dell"; so you know they are going to be vendor locked. Unlike other sellers who hide it within the description, and even fail to disclose this.

No they are not vendor locked; we double checked that. The seller has a 100% positive feedback, on 63K+ items sold, so I am confident the CPUs will work as expected.

This image attached better shows how high the VRM is on the mobo.

If anyone is looking for used EPYC 7003 CPU sellers on Ebay, I just bought 2x EPYC 7713 from a US Seller called Parts Cafe. He has 100% positive Feedback on 63K items sold. The CPUs look pretty good, with just minor scratches. The seller was pretty helpful. The CPUs arrived within 48 Hours to...

Anyone know if the Arctic Freezer 4U SP3 CPU cooler will fit on the Tyan Tomcat HX S8030 mobo? A bit worried that the VRM (?) in front of the CPU socket (and behind the I/O section) is perhaps too high and will hit the cooler? Thanks

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the advice.

Anyone know of any EPYC Servers that can take a single FH, FL GPU, preferably a GTX/RTX consumer card? I was looking at the Supermicro A+ Server 1014S-WTRT, which has the FH, FL slot, but I cannot see any PCIE power cables from the PSU. Also the specs say it is only rated for the Tesla T4 GPU...

Nope, far too much effort. The amount was not actually that much, so in the end it taught me an important lesson without too much cost.

I just wanted to share my experience of Aliexpress; it is great for finding products at low prices, but if you have issues and have to return the product, or get refunds, or get Aliexpress staff involved to uphold normal selling practices then it can be somewhat of a minefield. In terms of the...

I used to use Aliexpress, but when a load of fans turned up all smashed and broken, and the seller offered me a 5% refund, and Aliexpress agreed I stopped using them. I mentioned that I had paid for postage, and therefore under normally selling guarantees, the seller should pay for return...
