workstation

So i'm hoping to finally join the ranks of Quanta Windmill owners. I know the last year or so i've seemed a little waffly, asking alot of diverse questions in different directions, and not yet jumping on deals offered by others - cash wasn't yet available during the struggle to get into...

Hey all, I haven't really had any projects running in a while so I'm looking to swap some server gear for some more typical consumer grade stuff. This post is to offer my Intel Xeon E5-2695 v3 ES Processor (QGN4) for trade. It's an ES, but it's the final stepping and fully as functional as the...

Hi, I'm planning a new workstation based on the new XEON-W platform, currently i'm running a X99 with i7-5820k (6C/12T 3.30 - 3.8) and 16G of ram (which im running out of all the time): Build’s Name: Workstation Operating System / Storage Platform: Windows 10 x64 Enterprise CPU: LGA2066 Intel...

Hello I currently have an Asus P8C-WS with an Ivy Bridge E3-1245 v2 Xeon. It is currently serving as a hackintosh. No sleep, no hibernate, must be forced to power off. But otherwise quite nice. It has 24 GB ECC RAM, but OS X has no MCE support for the chipset. Has seen very little use since...

I had to build a temporary server for a client earlier this year to replace a broken one and have one until his built to order one was delivered and setup. All the parts where new at time of build (except the RAID card I grabbed that out of another server) and less than a year old (was...

Over the labor day weekend I have been working on a new project: building a new workstation. This is the first time in years that I will be moving to a single socket system. For this edition, AMD Threadripper. I think it is important that if I am going to publicly recommend AMD products, that I...

Disclaimer: I'm a super noob when it comes to NA/file servers/pretty-much-anything-network-related. PLease be gentle with me. I recently moved my work pc to the living room after a bit of maintenance and have become quite accustomed to gaming on 42in tv I scored from a second hand store (for...

I've visited this site a bit recently, but I haven't made an account and posted until now. In the last few weeks, I have gotten the parts for and breadboarded a custom Workstation PC. The PCPartPicker list is at Extreme Workstation Build - evanzolman's Saved Part List - Xeon E5-269... -...

Hi, I have 2 i7 6700 and 1 i7 3770k. I'm looking to expand and thought a dual xeon would be better for my needs. I have no prior knowledge of workstation build, so based my build on this with few tweaks: Building a 32-Thread Xeon Monster PC for Less Than the Price of a Flagship Core i7 CPU...

Hi Guys First time posting and thought I'd share my recent workstation build. I've always been in to the more high end machines. Not so much gaming but more the file servers and 10 gigabit stuff. Below is my final build of my render/workstation rig. Enjoy! SPECS ASUS Z10PE-D8 WS Motherboard...

Hi there, I'm looking to replace an outdated 2.8ghz Dual Xeon Workstation. It's atleast 10 years old - used to be screaming fast way, way back but not so much now! I've been trying to brush up on Xeon CPU's, speeds and motherboards, etc but there are a ton of different options now and I...
