For 1400W Redundant High-efficiency (80Plus Gold) Power Supplies If you look at the Lower Left Corner of the Motherboard above you will see 3 8-Pin CPU Power Connectors.

I'm guessing it's a price thing. May not perform as good as Intel, but is cheaper when your on a smaller budget.

Hah Quad G34's, yeah @ 2CPU.com we have a few members with those, if you seek any help or advice, feel free to join 2CPU.com and ask AXm 77, Peter Tong, SadTropher & terminalrecluse as they are our Quad G34 members The setup Peter Tong is using is the following: SuperMicro H8QGi-F 4x 12 Core AMD Opteron 6100 Engineering Sample CPU's @ 2.1Ghz OC"ed currently all 48 Cores OC'ed to 3.3Ghz Stable 32GB (16 x 2GB G.Skill @ 4x Quad Channel DDR3-1600) Noctua NH-U9DO A3 cpu coolers SuperMicro SC748S R1000B case 2x SuperMicro PWS-1K41P-1R 1400W 1U Gold Level PWS W/ PM BUS & WX3 Addonics AD4SAHMSA mSata SATA3 controller w/Samsung 840 EVOs EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 x64 Enterprise Edition You should of gone for 4x Opteron 6100 ES CPU's these OC easily to around 2.8 Ghz a 3.3Ghz if done correctly and these will outclass most Opteron 6200 Series 16 core CPU's. If you want good performing 16 Core CPU's it may have been a better investment for 4x 16 Core AMD Opteron 6378's instead. I myself run a Dual G34 setup with Supermicro's top of the range Dual Socket G34 Motherboard the Supermicro H8DG6-F and since 2014 I been using this motherboard, it's rock solid and gives you very good all round performance in any sorts of workloads, the R9 290X is my GPU, when using Vulkan API, all my 24 Cores of my two 12 Core AMD OpteronMP 6180 SE D1's all work to a workload of 60 top 70% + all 2816 GCN 1.1 cres of the 290X , and DOOM 2016 ( DOOM 4) gets in Ultra settings @ 1920 x 1200 x32 + FSAA x8 Super Sampled + AF x16 a good 137 fps average & @ 2560x 1600 with AMD VSR around 124 fps. Do keep in mind my GPU is from Q3 2013 and my CPU's are from 2011 So hey so long SMP is well supported which it is with AMD Mantle & AMD Vulkan API's, you are all set, DX12 & OpenGL 4.5 do support SMP< but not as good as Mantle & Vulkan do for that part. So imagine doing this with your 48 to 64 core system each and every core will be used, this way you destroy every Core i7 out there, like using TITAN X Pascals or Radeon Pro Duo's in such a setup, then things will really start to bloom at 8K Reso's. Anyways Keep me updated on this beauty, my advice would be to use 2x Supermicro 1400 Watt Redundant PSU's for this system, I am very familiar with this case btw. Here Peter Tong's system, there may be some handy tips in this G34 thread I run @ 2CPU.com as well http://forums.2cpu.com/sh...hp?t=97747&page=13 Lots of good stuff in there. As the PSU's go you can grab them here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm...mp;hash=item33723aa1ed More about this case view this topic :) http://forums.2cpu.com/showthread.php?t=117750 If you need more help, feel free to ask anytime

Hmm still keep in mind it's only 32 MOdules and 32 FPUs as being 1 FPU per 2 Cores, so it is similar to how HYper Threading works, 4x 6100 ES @ 3Ghz - 3.3Ghz would destroy this, but the power flow will be high, to that the 6200/6300's are the better way out I guess If you would like to, could you run a BarsWF X64 CUDA test run with this please, It's that I am curious to how it really performs :) Post your results in this thread man: http://forums.evga.com/FindPost/1834872

Thanks rjohnson11 My memory came it yesterday and was shipped to two different locations before I got it. I will install the memory on a bench run to make sure it is ok. The Case comes between Friday the 21st - 26th I cannot wait so long, but the shipping was free so I will not complain. New Photos

Yes I paid $560 a CPU back in 2013 and the only 12 or More Core Intel was $2100 at that time. For WCG this will run fine and for PrimeGrid tasks that take 10 minutes on Intel CPU takes up to 2 hours on the AMD CPUs.

Still not sure what GPUs I am going to use. My Choice is between my old GTX 690 or GTX 780 card then I even have an old GTX 650Ti or None EVGA GTC 550Ti.

Well at 2CPU.com we have many members with such builds I love this though, :) Quad CPU motherboards are huge their format is SWTX format, 16.48 x 13" if I recall correctly It would of been nice if SLI & CFX was supported, like they did with their previous Socket F boards as SLI support went, also something I would love to build fora fun project Here more info of your mobo bcavnaugh :) Supermicro HQ8GL-iF http://www.supermicro.nl/...00/SR56x0/H8QGL-iF.cfm Might be a new bios there, Supermicro is great for such things as bios support goes for the latest CPU's and fixes You could slap a few Pascal based Tesla's or Fiji XT based Radeon Pro's / Fire Pro's or AMD Stream GPGPU's in here though, since when doing OpenCL calculations, you don't need CFX or SLI anyway, same when working with AMD Vulkan API Same for CUDA as SLI goes, SLI needs to be set to disable.

Wow! My Bios was almost 2 years old. All went well on my bench testing today as well as updating the Bios. The New Memory works great and I am now up to 48GB but I may remove the 4GB Memory from my 2P Rig. Now all I need to do is make head or tails of the AMD Bios Settings.

Well that isn't strange do keep in mind that the G34 platform was released in 2011 and the latest CPU's are from 2012 so as that goes.. that is nothing odd to be surprised about And hey it is 2016 as well so

Well it mostly is due to the fact that we have no more BA Tasks to run. Running Memory Test now to ensure the memory is all good. I did Mix 1600 and 1333 Memory but is not an issues for what I am doing and running at 1333 is fine.

Well a few issues to note: One this Case and Power Supplies do not support Graphics Cards. have to find out more about this. I am installing Server 2012R2, It is soooooo Sloooow but I will complete the OS install and all the updates and then check back. I know Windows and that is what I went this route but then I may have to use Ubuntu.

For the most part she is now complete. This only item I may change out is the GTX 650Ti to a GTX 1060 or 1060Ti. I am limited to only one 6-Pin Graphics Card in this Case. This

That means those people lack the knowledge on what kind of cool systems can be built with Multiple CPU's and mainly what they can be used for. Real Time Flight to Space combat Simulators Star Citizen for example will use every single core in this system to it's full potential, thanks to AMD Mantle and Vulkan Support a 64 Core system will have all it's 64 cores put to good use. Such systems are great for MD5 Hashing, to CGI rendering to even making a decent file to game server for multiply games or programs. More Cores is always better than just some Hyper threads , it's the real deal what you get to get the job done right.
