    Moving Sale | Random Stuff + Phones, VR, MacBook

    Sorry bud it's pending. Funny story though. I was curious, my earliest paypal email with your name is from 2007. Funnier story. I think I changed email and it was probably 2005, 99% sure you're the first person I bought something from in a forum.

    best heatsink (4U) for 2xEpyc 280W

    SNK-P0064AP4 IMO is the only option for EPYC.

    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    I was looking at X10QBI I guess whenever this thread was started, but I went EPYC instead. How cheap can you do a 4P E7 build nowadays? I had a quad E5-4650 V2 build I sold a couple months ago, and in some benchmarks it was reasonably close to single EPYC 7452. But with 64 EPYC cores, it's...

    Run Supermicro H11DSi with normal power supply?

    I'm running mine on Corsair RM850x, which comes with two 8 pin EPS cables. If your PSU is modular, you can possibly get another 8 pin EPS cable. For my X9QRi-F+ I'm using four of them connected to an RM850x, but that PSU has a lot of non-specific 8 pin plugs so it works. Definitely don't...

    2U narrow ilm active cooler

    Yep yep. I do this to keep some 2U dynatrons a little quieter. And on my 4U Z9PA-D8 with 4U SM heatsinks where the CPUs are super close together. With Dynatron R14 I couldn't find any fans that were quiet and provided enough airflow. But running the stock Dynatron fans at 100% speed on 7v...

    what is the current best value E5-4600v2 CPU?

    $420 isn't bad at all. I didn't want to listen to a 2U 4P server, otherwise I would have gone that route too . I spent $280 on motherboard, $240 on CPUs, $120 on an ATX PSU + $20 for extra EPS cables, and it's still not even in a case because I could never find an affordable one. And even...

    what is the current best value E5-4600v2 CPU?

    I was planning to build a few more quad V2 systems, then I saw how cheap V3 stuff has gotten. Those cheap quad V3 boards are interesting. But power draw and rack space got me downsizing to EPYC. @T_Minus I still have a pair of ES E5-2670 V2 I bought from you years ago. They've depreciated by...

    what is the current best value E5-4600v2 CPU?

    Haha yeah I should have bought more at the time I guess. I already promised this build to a friend at way less than I paid for it because I didn't check current prices. Yeah clock speed is great on those E5-4627 v2. If you already have the server, it depends on what you want it to do I...

    what is the current best value E5-4600v2 CPU?

    July 2019. But they stayed cheap until a few months ago.

    what is the current best value E5-4600v2 CPU?

    Last July I got four E5-4650 V2 for $60 each. I think E5-4657L V2 was around $95-105 at the time. Now prices are way up on 4600 V2 CPUs. I think 4610 V2 is the only one that's reasonable, and even that's overpriced in my opinion. V1 might be a much better value right now. Maybe it's a good...

    Custom mylar air shroud?

    What material did you go with? If you got some thin kydex, you can get some pretty good corners with a heat gun and some patience. You can also make a wood form, clamp it, and toss it in the oven.

    Custom mylar air shroud?

    How about some 1/16" kydex? It's easy to work with and you can mold it to whatever shape you want.

    X10QBI and v3/v4 cpus (e.g. supermicro sys-4048b-trft)

    I was looking at those 15 core ivy bridge E7-4879 V2 CPUs on eBay for a while but couldn't find anything to run them in that matched the $30-40 per CPU price tag. It was only the X10QBI (with a bunch of add-on parts like memory risers) or from memory, Dell R920, HP DL580 G8, and some cisco...

    EPYC Rome 7452 on eBay $1120

    Yeah, I completely forgot to follow up with the obvious explanation: it depends what you're running. 3240+ MHz all day long on 100% CPU usage with plenty of benchmarks. Like geekbench gets plenty close to max frequency on all cores. But start really putting that huge cache to use and I...

    EPYC Rome 7452 on eBay $1120

    Maybe because it's the crappiest low-end 32 core Rome part available and no one wants them. But seriously, this is a massive bargain. These are underrated budget monsters and I'm completely thrilled with both of my builds with these. Today I noticed a newish listing for even cheaper too...
