    Building Quad-core Xeon 4650 server... Case, fans, and power supply?

    Did you ever fit this into a chassis/case in the end? Also, how did you deal with the 4x EPS cables for the CPUs?

    inventec b800g2 motherboard specs

    I am about to buy this board, so I thought I would share what I know generically about dual V1 Xeon motherboards. Most if not all dual Xeon motherboards require ECC ram; type of RAM and the speed is dictated by the processor. In the case of V1 Xeons it is DDR3. If you check at ark.intel.com for...

    Quietest 80mm fan

    What was the result? Did it decrease the amount of sound? I run 2U server racks and its 80mm fans are proper screamers.. So I personally would be interested in your results..

    Where have my threads/posts gone?

    To be honest all the other times I have accessed the site without a VPN it has worked fine. What I would say is that it is fairly simple to spoof your IP address and therefore using the IP is probably not the best way to enforce security. Also, a lot of IPs are dynamic, so you would be judged...

    Where have my threads/posts gone?

    About the only thing I can see which I did different from earlier was to turn my VPN off. I would have thought User ID was constant once logged in.

    Where have my threads/posts gone?

    Thank you for your reply SSDDX. To be honest this is a complete mess. I searched earlier on my username and found nothing. I clicked tracked threads and got zero posts. Indeed the previous commentor searched and found just one post. However I have just logged in now, clicked tracked...

    Where have my threads/posts gone?

    Hi Tesetilaro, Well I could have sworn previously there was a section which showed all my posts/replies within my profile/account. Even the one you have mentioned is completely invisible from within my profile/account. Chris

    SuperMicro X10DRG-Q vs Asus Z10PE-D8 WS

    Yes I did my degree in Computer Science 20+ years ago. The biggest difference between both mobos if you are running four GPUs is the one I mentioned. The post was for others, as this thread had been marked as solved.

    SuperMicro X10DRG-Q vs Asus Z10PE-D8 WS

    Actually, previous answers have got this all wrong. In terms of 4 GPUs, the Supermicro mobo is one of the only ones that can actually utilize the full PCIE lanes from the Xeons. If you take a look the specification for PCIE slots of both boards this become apparent. For gaming perhaps their...

    E-ATX Dual LGA2011-V3 Mobo with 5(+) x16 Speed/Slot widths,Gen3 PCIE slots?

    Hi Lutfij, We picked yours as the solution as all the mobos we have looked at so far, the only ones that seem to have true, full PCIE slots to lanes are the Supermicros. But I hear what you are saying about possible other solutions, so have deselected this for now. If nothing better is offered...
