Hi,
I want to upgrade my R710 with two L5640s and 144 GB of RAM. I'm running some webservices, but I want to run some Windows VMs for gaming and video editing as well.
I want to use a Quadro P620 and (for now) a GTX 1650. The Quadro is for Cuda encoding in LXC (pytorch, jellyfin), while the GTX 1650 will be passthroughed to a Windows VM. The host-OS is Proxmox. The Case is able to host ATX and E-ATX (Rosewill l4500).
I'm planning to buy:
Epyc 7252 8c/16t
(at first) 2*32 GB DDR4 3200 Reg ECC of Kingston
but with the motherboard I'm not sure.
Should I go for
ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T (tons of PCI-E 4 16x, Oculinks, 2* NVME, 2* 10 GbE)
or
ASUS KRPA-U16 (16x RAM)
or
Supermicro H11SSL-NC? (???)
For the Asrock I read about some problems (with NVME, SATA, IOMMU and Fan-Controls), the Asus seams to be limiting the length of the graphics cards (somewhen I upgrade to something bigger GPU like a RTX3060 or such thing). And about the Supermicro I read about some BIOS problems.
I prefer the ASRock Rack, but I'm afraid about these problems. Which one would you recommend?
And what do you think about the CPU? Most of the time the server will run at 3-5 % load, only so 1-2 times a week I need high computing power for gaming or video editing. And the Epyc will be 4x faster than my dual L5640 with less power usage.
