Very cool build Gold.
 
T-Rex FTW!
 

Hai all!

Great news today the day Friday, October 31, 2014 the two 12 Core Opty 6180 SE's arrived from our friend Peter Tong xDD 6 days from USA to NL!!! Many thanks for shipping First Class man
So here some pics of my progress

First I removed the Noctua fans and the heatsinks which you can see here:

And there ya go yaaay xD
 

Quite impressive

sorry to have dug this up but how do these do for general usage? im getting this board and some 6272's cheap from a friend (like £140 XD) and it's basically going to be a 'gaming server' so some server stuff with gaming on the side, generally just an 'everything rig' i can only have one rig so a dedicated server isn't an option for me so im wondering how well they do in general use (so games and browsing and whatnot, i can imagine browsing not being a problem it's just games due to the lower clocks i worry about :P )

Well I run Dragon Age: Inquisition @ 1920 x 1200 x32 with AMD Mantle API in Ultra without issues no frame drops nothing a constant 40fps
And I run 28 Manned Primal Carnage 1.3 &  Primal Carnage: Extinction 0.96 EA servers + I play on the same system and I do Live HD game video recordings without lag or performance drops, so yer these G34 systems are quite capable doing your Server, Game and Video workloads all at the same time without the need to worry about things that are going be too slow.
 
If you have more Server/Workstation related questions feel free to ask me or pay a visit at 2CPU Forums which is here:

 
There I am their 2CPU Hardware Moderator and together we are there to help when ever we can, 2CPU.com is the only community of it's kind on the net.
The hardware we mainly discuss are Multi CPU Servers, Multi Workstations & Multi Gaming Workstations. everything 2CPU based or more

thanks for the reply and for the info too :3 ill have a look at the site you mentioned too so thanks for that too, but as long as it can keep up with my 8320 games wise despite the clock then i see no problems, otherwise ill need to source some higher clocked ones or some ES ones, i have decided im set on G34 though so ill be at least starting with the 6272's so as long as it can handle all the server tasks along with some games on the side then im set, just need to get a few pins unbent on the board and im done, the board works but there are a few pins bent on the board which means only hald the dimm slots on the first sockets bank actually work but once that's sorted im set :P 
 
again thanks, and it is a beauty of a rig you have too might i add :)

again thanks, and it is a beauty of a rig you have too might i add :) 

Dawww thankies, took me a lot of years to save up and finally complete, I play Dragon Age: Inquisition on it with Mantle API< it uses all24 Cores as well, as that Mantle API is SMP limitless, it runs fine @ 1920x  1200 x32 in Mantle API in Ultra settings no dips a constant 40-45 fps as where D3D it does less than 28fps rofl, Mantle is an API done right

ill be sure to make use of the mantle API then with my 7950 (though i may be going up soon to something beefier if my electric payments will allow XD) 
 
i know what you mean too XD my current rig took me a while to get and now im moving off to LGA1944 since i have to chop down my dedicated servers XD

Gold Leader
Yeah you made a right choice going Dual G34 for those purposes :)

i do believe i made the right choice here too :3 it'll be interesting to see 32 cores dancing about anyways even with the server use :P 
that said on the 2CPU place i don't think the one that mentioned the SAS read it properly XD ill be using adapters from sas to sata, not sas drives but it's easy to read things too fast i do suppose :P 

Gold Leader
Oh I did read that, I just type and read things different than most others lol.
You can use SATA III-600 Drives on that SAS2-600 controller, no probs at all, as that SAS2-600 is actually SATA III-600, but then Full Duplex over Half Duplex, as in 600MB per sec up/down as where SAIA III-600 = 600MB per sec up and 300MB er sec down something like that in a sense.
 
But this won't stop you from using SATAIII-600 drives on the SAS2-600 controller, go for it it will work just fine
An other cool feature is that the SAS2-600 controller is  not a software controller as seen on most gaming motherboards 
It is hardware addressed @ PCI-E 2.0 x8, so it's certainly not slow either

i have only one problem now XD i can't find anywhere if the board has 26 pin sas or 36 pin sas XD finding allot of 36 pin ones that'd do but few 26 pin ones so im unsure which one will work XD im assuming one is for sas 1 and the other for sas 2? 
 
in any case as long as i can get my MX100 running at or close to rated speeds then im set

Gold Leader
The Supermicro H8DG6-F has  an 8 Port SAS2-600 Controller aka the LSI 2008i SAS2-600 RAID controller signed @ PCI-E 2.0 x8.
You'd have to look up the specs for SAS2-600 I Dunno how many pics it is, I never used SAS before, you could send Supermicro an email about this, they will reply  for sure  or just ask @ 2CPU.com I would really not know.

ill probably look into the interface itself some more, if that turns up nothing ill email supermicro and failing that ill ask at 2CPU yus :3

back again it seems, i apologise if im being a bother XD. earlier in the thread you mentioned hypersli, i know it's not supported by up to date drivers but if i were to use old ones would that work with say a pair of 590's? i might be able to source some cheap so i just wonder if it'd be doable with older drivers that work with it :P 

Oh yer cool no need to be sorry xD 
It's that I am just very surprised someone is posting in this thread!  Thaks for that doe xD 
 
As the GTX 590's go,it works but it is very complicated, I have two EVGA GeForce GTX 295 Red Editions, function of Quad SLI is the same, however I just wasn't bothered goring through all such hassles, Aryan my friend from2CPU.com had to use PCI-E Extenders as well, you can read more about it here:

Hah my old build log goodness of the Force!

Well this system is still in use, only the GPU being a Sapphire Nitro+ RX Vega 64 and the 2TB Crucial MX500 SSD as only upgrades pretty much it really.
This system is still in service as main server for Primal Carnage: Extinction, The Isle & SCP-Secret Laboratory  but also ideal for games like Borderlands 3, Subnautica: Below Zero, Aquanox: Deep Descent & Overload, but I also do some retro classics with it like Descent 1 &2 with DXX-Rebirth 0.58.1 + DXX Retro 1.3 for D1 & 1.3a for D2, Command & Conquer Red Alert2; + Yuri's Revenge with Purple Alert Mod 4.28 & Minecraft, but also great single player RPG's like Dragon Age Inquisition & The Witcher 2 &3 , all the games run maxed out at 2560x1600x32 in max in game settings without any hesitations, so no need for upgrades yet.

All in all it does everything just fine, even a good 6 years later  from it's built date back in Q2 of 2014.

So here is the current name & specs of this beauty:
