dual CPU workstation compatibility. im out of my depth 😛
im planning on building a workstation for 3D rendering/simulation etc. to get the best possible price to performance im looking at LGA1366 era hardware. this is looking great in terms of price but im unsure of compatibility on this server hardware. main problems are: I cant see SATA ports on the mother board im thinking of buying (I will link all parts bellow) so im not sure if Im just being blind or if at the time they used a different standard. Im also not sure how to check if a PSU supports multiple CPUs. (I need about 600 to 750w, 2 CPU connecters and a 6pin for GPU). I have a 500w already. would I be able to run most of the system(1CPU+GPU+mobo) off of that and then buy a weaker but cheap power supply for the other CPU?
this will be an extremely ghetto build with used parts off ebay and borrowing parts like ram and GPUs from old machines to cut down on costs. havnt done anything this cheaply before so unsure of myself and worried im going to brick it, so any help would be much appreciated.
potential parts:
mobo:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163289983190
ram:standard DDR3
