This one will likely end up becoming my personal workstation, or perhaps just a Linux test workstation. For now, it is going into DemoEval but I decided to use the machine for answering a few questions I had.
Build Parts and Rationale
Build Parts and Rationale
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700
- Motherboard: Gigabyte AX370-Gaming 5 Aorus
LOTS OF LEDSa U.2 NVMe port - RAM: You are going to see 32GB of Patriot Viper DDR4-2666 RAM installed. The 3200MHz 64GB
- Case: NZXT S340
- PSU: Seasonic 550W
- SSDs: Intel DC S3600 800GB, Intel 750 400GB NVMe
- Video Card: I used an old Zotac 610 PCIe x1 card. It works well. Buying today I would get the updated 710 model Amazon.com: ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 1GB DDR3 PCIE x 1 , DVI, HDMI, VGA, Low Profile Graphic Card (ZT-71304-20L): Computers & Accessories the advantage here is that these are $45 and use a PCIe x1 slot. That leaves the PCIe x16 slot open for additional devices.
- NIC: Not installed yet. Likely a Mellanox ConnectX3-EN Pro 40GbE card since I use those everywhere.
