I've been looking for ROMED8-2T to come down in pricing for a long time but feeling like just jumping the gun with the H12SSL-i now. Thoughts?

The ROMED8-2T looks really good.

For me it was more about getting a good uplift now (E5v3 -> Rome) and having the ability to upgrade to Milan-X when those become affordable.

Problem is it's impossible to find one at a decent price.

I'm looking at a combo from seller tugm4470 I'm wondering if anyone can clear up the Ram config for me. The RAM option say 32G * 8. Is this how I take it as 32*8=256g total, or is it 32G total made up as 8 sticks?

when ordering 32x8 you get 32GB sticks , times 8, you WANT that honestly, 8 channels, and especially the 32GB each just has so much more umph, we use it for ZFS a lot and its quite massive the diff from 4 to 8, and 128 to 256GB.

my 32GB sticks was hpeoem

2133 is old and slow, but so many memory channels, its kinda.. yay!

ran 3200 and 2666 vs 2133 for my zfs workloads, the 2666 and 3200 was faster, but just not worth it

im tempted to get 4sets of these whenever this topic pops back up :D

i think consumption was not mentioned in topic here, but how much does a bundle run at?
epyc tends to be power hungry but id assume/hope its just 90-100w area for mobo/cpu/8x32 at symbolic load

Please report back the power consumption when you have it in a case. in my experience, the server fan cases are power-hungry. The 1060 idles at around 15 watts (I get that from nvidia-smi). Modern SSD uses almost nothing.

Here is mine running ESXi 7.0. I have 2 TrueNas running and some other VMs running on it.
I have 4 25G/100G nic, 8*10TB SAS disks, 8*8 SAS SSD plus some other nvme and sata disks in the chassis.

I have specific numbers at work, I can pull them tomorrow , the amount of tuning heavily determines the wattage you could get in the 100w mark ACTUAL SOCKET usage, with 8 ram's in and some tuning, in a 2U supermicro, 1 PSU connected iirc


default power profile = very good, tuning misc = 20-30watt more, and more umph, tuning more 30-60w more,almost no gain for my workload

epyc .. tends not to be power hungry!

Ill trade you numbers and or maybe some systems for... cheap ram @Cruzader :D

I've orderd some 7763 to try as wellfrom same seller.

What you need is more systems!

like the 10x unused 2U ddr4/v4v boxes i got standing in a corner since ive never gotten around to selling them as replaced :D

Using 4x cisco c240 m4 24sff now but im oh so tempted to go whitebox again with something like these epycs so i can mix 2.5/3.5
Replacing them would bring the reject/replaced pile in the corner to 14 :oops:

I got a few racks worth of stuff like that which is powerd off ;)

we have a single v4 running now I think which is beeing phased out this month, old stuff we have then are some 7302 and 7402, on h11 and h12.

2690v4 and such is impressive for singelcore still, but lack of cores, lack of gen4 and up etc.. meh

supposedly getting our first H13 stuff any day now, its apparantly been manufactured in nov. getting a few different cpu, including top F and P models.

this ebay stuff I just buy for kicks since the chinese dude seem to deliver faster than we usually can get a quote for a part. that beeing said I love our local supermicro dudes.

lab =ebay and china now it seems, and I have enough nodes to run a 15 node ceph now ;)
prod = retail from our friends locally and official channels

honestly even a 2nd gen epyc is just more impressive, especially with powercost theese days.lots of the X12 and 3'rd genxeon like dl380plus etc IDLE at 400-450w now.... when you dont put them in the "please have no performance" powerstate... coworker has been pro amd for ages, and we started testing them out for production with h11 and epyc 2nd gen, honestly the track record for theese systems has been amazing.

a 7402 performs 'ish like a 6354 for some of the workloads... and .. its almost free in comparison

When AMD announced epyc/threadripper, and it was so clear that it would be disruptive in retail immediately and they would move huge quantities, I was excited for that same wave to hit the used market. 2nd-gen epyc is only ~3 years old so it's not going to be immediately irrelevant. On top of that, a mid-tier 2nd-gen epyc CPU can be swapped for a higher-end 3rd-gen later when their resale value comes down. It's hard to argue the cost effectiveness of it, assuming a few big nodes instead of many small nodes is acceptable for the workload at hand.

Im luckely at low fixed price so will be getting money back this month.

If you could pull some numbers of what the consumption looks like in use that would be great.
My goal-ish is to stay under 1000w for a while, since the ventilation for rack is still on the todo list

4 of them should probably be under with my probably just 15-20% load, and moving back to whitebox+newer gen gets me the 3.5 bays and bifurication im missing now.

I just ordered a Gigabyte MZ32-AR1 and an Epyc 7532 from this guy. Works great so far! All 768gb shows up. Good communication and fast shipping too!

I ordered this combo(h11 w/7302p) last Friday and it arrived two days ago. Added in the message for seller section this thread link and the code and the seller shipped it via FedEx.

I haven't put it on the bench yet since it was delivered while out of town but should be up by next weekend. This is for the home lab so probably not a huge workload compared to some. Really excited to consolidate a few machines into one. 128 lanes, mind is blown.

I have this board as well. The only thing that bothers me, time/date never stays synced even with new battery or not setup. And when you make some changes in the `IPMI' it logs you out and you have to re-login. Otherwise very nice board
