    Epyc in h265 transcoding

    Hi, I’m looking for a CPU good enough to handle 2-4 simultaneously 1080p h265 transcoding and at least 1 4K. Does an Epyc 7281 work for this job? Is a Xeon e5-2640 v4 better?

    Are there 3rd-party cases for the new Epyc TYAN S8026GM2NRE w/ Oculink?

    Hi, I'm interested in getting a Tyan S8026GM2NRE motherboard but I'd prefer to put it in a 3rd-party case because 2U tends to have too many cooling issues in my environment (would like a big full-atx case to put it in) but it has PCI risers instead of PCI slots Has anyone heard of a 3rd-party...

    AMD EPYC 7401P CentOS 7.4 benchmarks - cpu soft lockups?

    Finally managed to do some testing with AMD EPYC 7401P on CentOS 7.4 with both default 3.10 Linux Kernel and 4.15 Linux Kernel. But I ran into some cpu soft lockups during UnixBench test and was wondering if anyone else have run into these before Benchmarks - Packet.net bare metal cloud provider...

    AMD EPYC 7351P + GIGABYTE MZ31-AR0 = 7 GPUS?

    Hi Guys, I just saw the review on the AMD EPYC 7351P CPU but it did not really go into GPU usage so I thought I would do a post in here to get some feedback and or advice on this. We are looking to build a 7 GPU rack using the EPCY so we can take advantage of the 128 PCIE lanes, basically...

    My plans on trying AMDs new Epyc processors for my new workstation are in their final stage. But a few questions remain. 1) Memory compatibility - frequency Right now I can't really afford buying 16x16GB DDR4-2666 memory. But I have enough 16GB DDR4-2133 reg ECC waiting to be put to use. I know...

    1P AMD EPYC 7601 Power Consumption

    Not great but not bad by any means: 351W Decent idle and maximum views of the system today. That is a fairly bare config with 2x SATA SSDs and only using Broadcom networking. No 24x U.2 NVMe drives or NICs installed.
