    EPYCD8-2T Serious issues

    Hi mates. I think that my EPYCD8-2T failed on me (at the worst moment, of course). My plight started 2 days ago, when I added the fourth GPU. The board did not boot properly (no screen output), and after the usual 30/40 secs, the power draw skyrocketed at almost 300W. No ssh server running, so...

    How to create a bootable NVMe RAID 0 on EPYC 7601 (H11DSi-NT rev. 2.0)?

    BIOS doesn’t show any RAID option. So, is it a “software only” option? Why did they miss EPYC? (as THREADRIPPER has an option)

    Gigabyte HPC Server cooling question?

    Gigabyte G482-Z50 Does anyone know, or could find out (as I think this server is pre-release), exactly how the following Gigabyte HPC server cools its CPUs? (excluding heat sinks) As you can see there are no front chassis fans, only fans behind the GPUs and at the back of the Chassis; hence my...

    EPYCD8-2T: two questions about Linux and IPMI

    Hi, I just built a system with a 7282 and an Asrock Rack EPYCD8-2T. It seems to be rock solid with Lubuntu 18.04 but here are a couple of question I really hope you could answer since I'm driven crazy with them. 1. OS-independent: I just cannot manage to have the IPMI working over the...

    AMD released a Workload Tuning Guide: https://developer.amd.com/wp-content/resources/56745_0.80.pdf So, as the doc says, the Infinity Fabric will have a maximum speed of 1467 MHz (lower in some platforms). AMD has advertised Epyc Rome to supporting 3200MHz DDR4. Why does it limit IFOP to...

    Any new Supermicro motherboard on the pipe for EPYC Rome?

    As the title says, does anyone have any info about the new Supermicro motherboards for Rome; pretty disappointed with them launching only servers/storage and such... and no H12 MB? Or at least a revision for the excellent and very well priced H11SSL-NC? I wouldn't jump into the Gigabyte and...

    Sun Ultra24 Chassis Front Fan Mount

    I've recently completed a similar EPYC build to the one completed by Patrick. This was an upgrade to my Sun Ultra24 workstation, which I have used since 2009. After a few hours with a multi-meter to work out the front panel cables, the build went smoothly and I now have a workstation with the...

    Intel IMDT + Optane (DC P4800X) + EPYC

    I wondered if anyone in these forums knows whether Intel software defined memory technology (IMDT + Optane DC P4800X) will work on an EPYC platform, or is it restricted to Xeon. I'm software dev considering building a machine for deep learning + video editing + general experimentation with...

    Selecting Dual EPYC motherboard... Is there any other option except Supermicro?

    Googled, but no luck... Seems like Supermicro H11DSi-series is the only motherboard for Dual EPYC configuration... The other choice is Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 or Tyan Tomcat SX S8026, but it has only a single EPYC socket... I like my Supermicro H11DSi-NT, but it has no Hard Disk Drive activity LED...
