    AMD EPYC 7V13 64 core 128 thread $699

    I just got two of these running on an Asrock ROME2D16 motherboard. This combination does *****NOT***** like DDR4 2400 LRDIMMs at all.

    AMD EPYC 7V13 64 core 128 thread $699

    All of this is my opinion of course.... begin rant: You'll notice that many of these QS/ES chips have scuffs, scratches, missing caps etc. That's because they're mostly slammed into a dumpster at some point. Are there proper disposal clauses written into those end user agreements with the...

    EU Gigabyte Mainboard MC12-LE0 Re1.0 AMD B550 AM4 Ryzen

    I would order one of these things but it keeps saying they don't ship to my location in the US. Has anyone from the US actually gotten one of these?

    GPU recommendation for mass text processing, summarizing and data analysis, serving API requests etc

    Thanks that was helpful. I didn't even think about aliexpress. If this MI60 doesn't work out I'll look to get a 2080ti. The MI60 looks to still be GCN so I hope it's still a viable card. Totally agree on competition, it seems like NVIDIA absolutely owns the AI space which is disappointing.

    GPU recommendation for mass text processing, summarizing and data analysis, serving API requests etc

    I'd rather not get a card that has been mined on, so it's likely that whatever inexpensive and used 3090 that I find would be used.... and still expensive :( New ones are super expensive it seems. I'll see what I can do with this MI60. 32GB HBM2 on a glorified vega will probably do what I need...

    AMD EPYC 7C13 is a Surprisingly Cheap and Good CPU

    I just grabbed a pair of 7v13 ES for my Asrock board - hopefully I don't get screwed by incompatibility.

    GPU recommendation for mass text processing, summarizing and data analysis, serving API requests etc

    Darn, I wish I'd seen this sooner - I played around with my laptop GPU (Radeon 6800m with 12GB RAM) and AMDGPU/ROCM seemed to work OK with a 7b Q4_K_S model. So I ordered a Radeon MI60 because it seems to be compatible and has 32GB HBM2 and it was right in line with the higher end of my budget...

    GPU recommendation for mass text processing, summarizing and data analysis, serving API requests etc

    I'm pretty new to AI and just started dabbling with LM Studio, Ollama, API's etc. I think I'm ready to start more complex things and was looking for GPU recommendations as well as model recommendations. I plan on doing large amounts of text processing as well as data analysis (large CSV and JSON...

    Adapt a HP DL380 Gen10 NVME backplane to a standard ATX power supply?

    No idea. I wish it worked but it hasn't for me. I've tried a number of different things with no luck. I'm keeping the cage around in case someone figures something out. I have it powered on and even soldered good power connections for it... hopefully someone figures something out.

    Adapt a HP DL380 Gen10 NVME backplane to a standard ATX power supply?

    I have one of these and I'm pretty sure you need a Tri-mode to run it unfortunately... maybe someone is brave enough to try these on some cheap tri-mode adapters and report back?

    AMD EPYC 7551 32 core 64 thread cpu for $75 or less

    If I could find some nodes that take 7002/7003 and do PCI-E 4.0 at a good price I'd be all over them.

    VMware Updates its EOA Plan Providing Guidance for Some Subscription Transition

    is this going to affect customers running esxi 7.x ? I'm trying to determine if they're somehow going to force people running a 7.x perpetual into some kind of service agreement? Or is it simply that they will no longer release updates for older versions and you must pay?

    Does Anyone know if the Gigabyte MZ61-HD0 rev 1.1 can support 7002/7003 Epyc and PCI-E 4.0?

    No I'm looking at buying it but wanted to check to see if anyone had experience with it. I am really looking for 7002 and 7003 support as well as PCI-E 4.0

    Does Anyone know if the Gigabyte MZ61-HD0 rev 1.1 can support 7002/7003 Epyc and PCI-E 4.0?

    looks like on the site it says 7001 only, but I know with a lot of gigabyte stuff you can flash to later revisions. Anyone have any ideas?

    Xeon E7 8894 v4 - what type of Memory for best performance (single core)?

    I'm looking at this for a massive data mining project. I was thinking of getting a DL580 gen 9 filled with 64GB sticks of DDR3 but can't remember if that requires a special BIOS?
