Hello!
I built a compact supercomputer...

  • CPU - Xeon Platinum 8173M
  • Motherboard - Asrock rack EPC621D4I-2M
  • RAM: 64GB (4x 16GB although this may change)
  • Chassis - fractal design nano s
  • Cooling - Noctua NH-U12S DX3647
  • GPU - Nvidia TITAN V
  • Storage - Intel DC P4510 and KIOXIA XG6 M.2
  • PSU - CoolerMaster V1200
I was worried about memory access from 6ch to 4ch, but There was no performance loss. (available 90%~)
I'm happy with this build, but the problem is that I can't install the 10Gbe Nic...

BTW, Cinebench is one of those workloads that pretty much don't care about memory bandwidth.
Results of 4 vs. 6 channels WILL vary with different workloads.

Which ram did you use. I built a sff server using the same mb. I like how you went big with the titan:). Nice build.

Hi Panda. Didn't the front panel header get in the way of the graphics card? How did you attach the cables?
Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply.
It really really little space・・・but, I use the Power switch on the chassis.

Thanks. I imagined that the height of the pins + power switch connector would have prevented the video card from properly inserting into the slot, but it seems that's not the case...! :)

how hot does it get in there?

Hello.
I had a stress test using the AVX-512 and a 3Dmark stress test, which mainly gives the GPU maximum heat. This is 20 loops benchmark, and both power consumption and GPU power are extremely required.

>how hot does it？
As pointed out.
The maximum heat value of GPU is 83 degrees. However, the average value remains at 73 degrees, which means that 100% of the power may not have come out.
However, this is a problem with nVIDIA's stock cooler and not the impact of its compact size.





Look at the temperature of the CPU and the motherboard, I can see that it is the temperature that mobo can fully control! Though it is compact!


thanks.

wow those temps aren't bad at all. you could always run prime95 or furmark for pathological power and heat tests on cpu and gpu, respectively.

...but what do you use it for?
