Hello everybody ,
I have been reading thread for days with Intel boards S2600CP2J,
because I have almost no experience with the server boards, and I ordered this intel board to build my workstation.
This build will be used for everyday things and I need to run 2-3 Linux systems in same time over VMware workstation(don't know any other way, VBox I don't like problems with setup) on Win 10 as host . I am very new to this WMware use.
I took this board because it was cheapest that I could find to have 2x2011 CPUs sockets(150$ with shipping).
This build should work as a workstation not as a server.
Now I need to order my other components. And to make list of thing that I need for this build.
CPUs that I want to buy are E5 2650L or E5 2650L V2 , nice number of cores and I don't do to much demanding things at the same time so I think low speed should be fine, and I would like to see the power consumption and the heat small as possible , and I dont think I need more then 32GB or maybe 64GB of RAM max.
Question about RAM , for optimal performance I read that it is best to have number of RAM modules as CPUs memory channels , in this case that should be 4 times for each CPU , that means 8 modules of RAM.
RAM will be 10600R -1333 MHz because of price. Since I will need 8 modules it will be 8x4GB.
Or maybe to go with combination with one cpu and to go with 4x8GB and later to add second CPU and more RAM.
PSU I have is one on picture , it has shot cables but I have ordered extension cables 8pin and 24pin, think it should be good enough for this build for start anyway.
I don care about case since I want to go as cheap sa possible in the beginning. It will be out of case for some time, or if I find some old case to fit.
Build should be some thing like this
MB S2600CP2J 150$
Back plate I/O 3$
CPU E5 2650L V2 95$ one peace
RAM
Micron 32GB (4x8GB) PC3L-10600R Reg ECC Server Memory RAM MT36KSF1G72PZ | eBay
or this
8x 4GB IBM Samsung 4GB 2RX4 PC3L-10600R VLP Server Memory RAM 49Y1440 46C0579 | eBay
So total price should be some thing like
MB 150 MB 150
CPUx1 95 CPUx2 180
RAM 78 4x8GB RAM 57 8x4GB
PSU same old 520W 20$ PSU same old 520W 20$
CPU cooler have CM CPU cooler should buy one more 30$
no case no case
so total should be 343$ or total 437$
Hope I didn't miss any thing I need.

Is there anything that I should pay attention with this build?
