thats so 00s

moved down to 16 from 24, about to go back up to 32 then prolly 48

maybe even 64 because fuck it this problem will only get worse

may as well max out what motherboard supports

would have gone for 32 from the start but i wanted ryzen box sooner and that'd have juuuust put it out of what i had on hand at the moment i bought it

Pro tip: buy X99 mobo now @Kaytee

Then when used DDR4 ECC and Xeons hit

Buy em up

i mean by then the used server market will roll over a generation and i could get a decent r710 or dl380 for way less, with everything already in it

psu bodge for gpu and you've got yourself a workstation

that was the plan before i settles on ryzen anyway tbh

X99 is like $100US for boards tho

Used Xeons will be cheaper than current ES chips

more like $200-$500 for the ones with eight ram slot

and with only four i don't see any benefit there over my current workstation

idrac2xE5645, 128GB PC3L-10600R , raid controller with battery,

good for raw power/$

not per core performance

Shove that shit in a Lackrack and call it a day

It is noisy however

eh, r710s aren't too loud

they're quieter than my dl380, which is a whisper next to my little old 1u supermicro box that never gets turned on anymore

It's still a server, meant for cool airconned rooms

i have switches louder than an r710

eh

moved back to hp from netgear for switches, room is significantly quieter

I'm grabbing a 4slot microATX X99 board and waiting a few months for Xeons

i need to sell my old switches at some point

Since I need gaming performance and workstation performance

i'm mostly concerned with multithreaded performance per watt

Current fuckin 4670K ain't cutting it smh

so rzen beat out older 2x/4x xeon box for me atm

See 22core ES xeons

$1000 for 22cores lmfao

i was kinda sitting at a ~$1500 budget as well though

so my options for dual/quad xeon box were limited to older xeons

Ah

and i mean when you bring power into the picture a 1700 shits on them

Zen is incredibly power efficient even compared to consumer i5s so

i really wish the 3d printing world had some more powerful software

single core performance is near-irrelevant for that, but if there was an mpi-aware slicer for me to slice models on a big arm cluster i would be very happy

My system is taking agggges to post holy shit

2m30s for post to windows start screen, thanks

could be worse

as cool as HP's sea of sensors is

I'm on an SSD, and it's quick

jfc restarting anything with it takes ages

On all of their platforms HP UEFI is bloated as shit

Like non-consumer

disagree, it just has to do a lot more than desktop firmware does

It takes my EliteBook like 1-2mins to decide if it wants to let me into UEFI

it's not the same use case and you don't generally shut down these machines and restart them regularly like desktops

1-2mins isn't bad compared to, say, any g6 proliant

5+ minute boot

ssd or 15k sas drives or anything

But they're servers, they've got to verify that everything's working, ram is fine, temps are good, and then check a bunch of shit

yeah

Consumer systems are like

'mouse? Check'

"basic input/output system"

'keyboard? Check'
'something to boot to? Check'
'something something ram? Check'

Then boot
