    leveraging 512GB of ram to upgrade from epyc zen 3 to epyc zen 5 or am I crazy?

    when I search for 100-000001554 I get the 9475F?

    leveraging 512GB of ram to upgrade from epyc zen 3 to epyc zen 5 or am I crazy?

    i found out the QS samples have the same base, but only boost to 3.8ghz instead of 5ghz. this kinda puts a damper on this. yes it's better than my current cpu, but most of my gains would come from avx 512, the additional cores, and the extra L2 / newer architecture and not much from the clock rate

    leveraging 512GB of ram to upgrade from epyc zen 3 to epyc zen 5 or am I crazy?

    well it's not just unreal engine I laid out in the first post ai research and inference, although most of that is on the gpu, blender, cad, circuit design software, programming, gaming, and streaming. my streaming is also a little unusual because I run an unreal metahuman as a vtuber thing and...

    leveraging 512GB of ram to upgrade from epyc zen 3 to epyc zen 5 or am I crazy?

    it takes nearly 3 hours to do a full compile of unreal engine, all the plugins, all the tools, and my project. if I'm going to go through the hassle of upgrading I think I want to move up in cores not just base and boost clock. the higher speeds would help with gaming and streaming, but I really...

    leveraging 512GB of ram to upgrade from epyc zen 3 to epyc zen 5 or am I crazy?

    well if I go 4 sticks of 64GB I'd come out with the same memory bandwidth that I started with, and I'd basically break even on price. if I went 16 cores I'd almost certainly have to populate both sockets to get the performance I need and then I'm buying more ram sticks anyway

    leveraging 512GB of ram to upgrade from epyc zen 3 to epyc zen 5 or am I crazy?

    actually I might go with the GIGABYTE MZ73-LM0 Rev. 3.1 more available ram slots for upgrading and I don't need that many pcie

    leveraging 512GB of ram to upgrade from epyc zen 3 to epyc zen 5 or am I crazy?

    so my current pc is a Gigabyte MZ32-AR0-00 (Rev 3.0) with an AMD EPYC 7473x 24 core cpu (seem to be going on ebay for $1,288.00 right now). with 512GB of ram. it was this listing which were $115 at the time https://www.ebay.com/itm/184639495558 which could sell for ram 4280 + cpu 1288 + mobo...

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    yeah I've been looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BXN2WSNZ?smid=A2A4XZZKQVDB4S&psc=1 but I would have to figure out how to make it rack mount myself. maybe just some extruded aluminum held in with a cage numb to t-nut stack, but that might want to twist

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    I bought one and not quite. I think if I stacked two it would, but then I'm not sure if it would fit in a 4u. it certainly wouldn't help it fit in the slots with the cpu behind it

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    yes a 4u will hold the tallest, but my card would still hit the cpu and ram behind the slot, which means I need a flexible riser, which means it actually has to sit above the pcie slot instead of inside it

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    I have a server rack though. I'd like to use it

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    because my gpu and even some of my addin cards are too long, they would hit the cpu or ram if I didn't use a riser, also my case is only 2U, so they are also too tall. too long and too tall means I'm stuck with jank unless I do something drastic

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    if I go the dock route, I'll want full bandwidth because I'm doing AI workloads. so that means something like MCIO PCIe gen5 Device Adapter x8/x16 doesn't seem to be anyone making a dual oculink dock, but I want the gpu to be encased and protected so I might have to gut one

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    I'm considering that, but I'd like to somehow rack mount the gpu dock if I did that. maybe a rack mount shelf and then just sit the gpu dock on top?

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    currently a 7900xtx at the top, but soon I'll swap out for a 5090 which is at least diagonal. I wouldn't mind notching the case, but right now my setup is rediculous with cardboard cut out in odd shapes to get around all the things sticking above the top of the box

    need rack mount gpu solution for MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0

    I have a MZ32-AR0 Motherboard Rev 3.0 motherboard in a Supermicro 2U 12 Bay Server Chassis CSE-826A-R920LPB with IPASS backplane PWS-920P-1R. I currently use 8 spinning rust hard drives in the front, and I have to use the machine with the case off in order to fit my gpu and some of my add in...

    In search of SuperMicro h13qsh motherboard. the MI300A SH5 quad socket one

    well I am an AI developer, just an amateur one. I do game dev and circuit design for my day job. does amd make a single socket sh5 motherboard? I would hope that the mi300a would work if only one socket was loaded, because staying on 128gb of ram would be an issue for me. I have 512gb now and...

    In search of SuperMicro h13qsh motherboard. the MI300A SH5 quad socket one

    I got the APU originally from a seller that specialized in reselling undeliverable packages and it was from HP. probably a warranty replacement, if APUs can be sent out without motherboards then it would follow that somewhere motherboards might go out without APUs

    In search of SuperMicro h13qsh motherboard. the MI300A SH5 quad socket one

    I thought about the sp5 thing. I've seen debauer cover an ID pin, and i did the same thing sorta back with enabling SMP on an original celeron when I was a teenager, but there are no pinouts for the SH5 socket yet, and also SP5 socket motherboards have ram ..... which SH5 at least so far, does...
