id be interested in how an E7 8870 V3 (for example) in 4-socket configuration (72 cores) fares against the latest 64 core EPYC offeringsSo nobody willing to speak on the epyc vs this ?
I was looking at X10QBI I guess whenever this thread was started, but I went EPYC instead.id be interested in how an E7 8870 V3 (for example) in 4-socket configuration (72 cores) fares against the latest 64 core EPYC offerings
1. I feel pretty confident that v3/4 CPUs work in here with the mem1.01 cards. I haven't done any real stress testing, but so far in my experience, it has been very stable. Again, this is just my experience!1. fears that (as mentioned previously) v3 processors don't work with it. What would I do if that happens? (BMC cards were mentioned previously, but I am still unclear as to how they could help one navigate this issue)
2. I also want at least 512 GB of ram in my machine, but in case I fork out all that money just to find out that the RAM doesn't work, how do I make absolute sure that the RAM will be compatible??
I'm in about $1250 w/ my two 8891v4 CPUs and 512GB of ram. I'm hoping to get two more for maybe $200/ea. And while it's not 64 cores, it's relatively close, and and at a higher clock speed for just a little more than what it would cost me to just get 512GB of DDR4. TBF, the v4 xeons are a few years older than the Rome EPYCs, but again, with EPYC 7452 CPUs going for around $1.5k each, I can live with a slightly slower machine for my home computing needs.How cheap can you do a 4P E7 build nowadays?
hey, i managed to get my x10qbi working. feel free to DM me and tell me what your issues areok so im really putting in my time but I know **it about this topic. I built 2699 2 of them and 2695 both v4 but never had BMC or whatever problemsI need help and I would be willing to pay for that help so I can avoid a third purchase of mobo and ram and selling it for less than I paid
I have 8890 v3s for sale that I am planning on giving another go putting together. I have 2x x10qbi already but we paid a company here to put them together. Unfortunately the person helping us has moved away and cant help. I would really love to use these last 4 cpus I have and put them to good use.Now after the story how does this look? what else do I need?

well for starters I dont know what to actually buy and put together. A lot of my options are closed as I am from serbiahey, i managed to get my x10qbi working. feel free to DM me and tell me what your issues are![]()
well what parts are you missing? ram? or...well for starters I dont know what to actually buy and put together. A lot of my options are closed as I am from serbia
I have a pair of 8890 v3s and thats it for now. I have sold 1 mobo beginning of the year as it was a replacement for the 2 systems we have just in case. But then I got the 8890 v3s tested and workingand would like to put them to good use but I dont even know where to start from :/
I have access to the german market and can buy things there easily so im looking for the most painless solution possible that wont break the bank to the point where a 3990x threadripper sounds better
Well im starting from scratch now so everything. In the link is the cheapest x10qbi listed yi can find. All others at this moment are 1200$ and over. That will change as it changes often as I follow for the last few months but im looking at the link and the forum but cant seem to figure out if this coups work or not. It is a x10qbi inside. It has all the mem boards rev 1.01 as I asked the seller. But they dont know to tell me anything else about it, if its password protected or not etc. Due to corona I cant drive there that easily and check it out but even if I could not sure how I would. So here I am asking for quidance on how to buy it and what to buy to be the most sure I can be that it will work without a lot of headache with passwords and everything elsewell what parts are you missing? ram? or...
if, in the future u need more CPU, my recommendation would be to sell you pair of 8890v3 and buy 4 x 8880v3, you can get a set of 4 for something around $300 (at US), and that should be the same resell value of yours... you have 4 cpu slot server, make good use of it...well for starters I dont know what to actually buy and put together.

$2100 usd for the whole prebuilt + 512 GB ram sounds about the price one should be expecting. which is quite good already in my opinion. i mean yes, you can always build from scratch with cheaper RAM and a barebone 8048-TRFT system, but having everything tested and working save for the CPUs is just a tiny bit more money spent for a whole lot of peace of mind in my opinion.if, in the future u need more CPU, my recommendation would be to sell you pair of 8890v3 and buy 4 x 8880v3, you can get a set of 4 for something around $300 (at US), and that should be the same resell value of yours... you have 4 cpu slot server, make good use of it...
I'm guessing in here, but I think u can import those...
@jpk I spent $2100 for x10qb +512GB RAM... did u spent only $1250 on yours?

i agree. E7-8890 v3s are at a premium for not that much performance increase over 8880 v3 at all. definitely worth considering if upgrading to quad CPU configuration. i bought 4 x 8880 v3s from this ebay seller for $100 USD each ($400 all up), using best offer. I think it's quite the deal considering this is actually the RETAIL cpu, and not the engineering sample. You'd usually find engineering samples listed at around $120 USD each. I'm pretty sure they ship to all countries as I'm in Australia and I successfully received it two days ago.

@PabloChakon i would love to help you but I am just simply confused as to what parts you already have. You said you're missing everything, but you said you have a mobo...?
could you please state clearly what you have on hand?
thanks

im pretty sure you can get some really decent system + ram for cheap. this for example is in the UK: Supermicro SuperServer CSE-848X 4x E7-4820v2 64GB Ram X10QBi 24x3.5" Bay Server | eBayHey sorry
Hey sorry for the late reply
I have 2 systems already working x10qbi. We had a guy from a company here that set those two up once we got them. We originally had 3 but 1 kept having issues, we changed a bunch of things but i just got sick of it having ssd issues etc. So now I have 2 set up and have 4x 8890v3s on hand that arrived late and im going back and forth between selling them or reusing them. I dont have ram but I can get it. The listing I posted is the only system I can see that is all in one and isnt 2000+$ with 0 ram. I do have money to spend but not throw thats where my headache is with it. The seller on ebay I linked barely speaks english and doesnt know much, at least the person answering. Like nothing at all, out of 5 questions 4 answers were let me check and then a week later ,,I cant get the information at this moment,, or something similar. They do have a high reputation there for servers but I think its a language barrier more than anything.
So this would be my first build of the x10qbi that I do on my own, the guy who initially did it isnt available.I did oversee a lot of it but I aint going to lie, im not sure of most of it
I would be open to pay for some help on what parts and where to get them for a reasonable price. I actually dont need any ram (we use it for cpu rendering and even 32gb is a overkill for what we do since its always cut up in scenes) so I would go with minimum needed ram and a basic hdd of 1tb in it. Everything would be for the cpu power on its own
