AMD EPYC 7302p+ Supermicro H11SSL-i version 2

[luckylinux]

I upgraded my fileserver in 2022 from a xeon e5 v4 4core cpu + supermicro x10srl + 1x 32GByte RDIMM to an epyc 7443p 24 core cpu + h12ssl-i + 8x 16GByte rdimms. Chassis (846 with sas 3 expander backplane), 22x 16TByte hdds, raid controller and psu stayed the same.
Difference at the wall were 25-30 Watt more under it's normal load. That's 20more cores, 6 more rdimms (higher clock, but lower capacity), pcie 4.0, 88more pci lanes

Yeah but the majority over the Power Consumption of 60W that chlastakov mentioned would be the HDD own Power Consumption. NOT the CPU/Motherboard.

Still I wouldn't go without PCIe4 for new build these days

This is what i was looking at as well, i was hoping to put 64gig of ram into it. I'm in the same boat... trying to save up as well. Fingers crossed for the both of us.

Also Canada here. How did u fair? Interested in similar.

Throwing this out there would an EPYC build be able to do part time work as an old fashion gamer lan party? What I mean is could I host several thin clients(Nvidia shields) to play a modern fairly GPU demanding game? This would mean friends would not need to bring there own hardware. Basically a game server.
