    OCNG5: OC firmware for Supermicro AMD G34 platforms

    Thanks for the replies guys, made this post as I was about to hit the bed after a night of frustration and realized I was way too sparse with the details... The CPUs are indeed Eng Samples, and the PSU is a pretty beefy I think 1200W Gold rated Seasonic. The thermals are totally fine at least...

    OCNG5: OC firmware for Supermicro AMD G34 platforms

    Hey all, not totally related to the OP here...but my quad 6276 system even just with the stock BIOS under Win Server 2012 R2 is completely shutting down once it hits heavy load. I thought it was maybe a bad connection with the RAM or something, so I pared it back to a single DIMM per CPU...

    [Noob] Question: Boards With Multiple LAN Ports

    Isn't the write speed of your average 7200rpm HDD something in the neighborhood of 120MB/s though? That would almost match gigabit speeds if it could receive a full feed. Right now the best I can send to each slave is 31MB/s assuming all other variables are literally perfect. PCI-E x4 has a...

    Even if all the files are being pulled from a RAMdrive or possibly a Sata3 SSD drive?

    [Noob] Question: Boards With Multiple LAN Ports

    Well, the other machines all have standard X79 motherboards and can't accept more than 1Gbps anyhow, but aggregating 4 LAN connections into a switch will make a lot of sense if I end up with more slaves later on. Right now I'd be able to feed every slave with its own, unique Gb port though so...

    [Noob] Question: Boards With Multiple LAN Ports

    But with the switch, I'm still limited to my 1Gbps output feeding 5 slaves a maximum of 0.2Gbps at any time. I have a router/switch at the moment, but was looking to possibly do this as an upgrade. Yeah my max speed to any one machine would be 1Gbps since I'm still limited in that...

    [Noob] Question: Boards With Multiple LAN Ports

    I do a lot of rendering at home on my machines, with my current setup looking something like this: Workstation (standard gigabit out) ----> Router -----> Slave1, Slave2, Slave3, Slave4, Slave5 Currently, I believe I'm correct in assuming that best case scenario, each of my slaves is...

    Supermicro H8QGi/6 and H8QGL Next Generation OC BIOS

    Thanks for that, not sure how I missed that info when I first researched what I'll need for this machine. Buying ECC memory isn't a problem though as there's barely any price difference anyway. Take a bit of a hit on memory speed is all since the best you seem to be able to buy is 1600MHz @ CAS...

    Supermicro H8QGi/6 and H8QGL Next Generation OC BIOS

    Well damn, that's not great. I'm actually a bit surprised no one's done that yet. Is there anywhere I can find a list of all the supported memory sticks for the SM boards? I can't imagine with everyone here using G.Skill 1333 and 1600 that G.Skill mem of the same speeds would have an issue just...

    Supermicro H8QGi/6 and H8QGL Next Generation OC BIOS

    Apologies if this has been asked before, haven't had a chance to scan the 12 pages I've missed yet. I'm looking to go with 128GB of RAM on my soon to arrive 4P system, which will require 4 sets of 4x8GB DIMM sets. Am I basically just looking to get the lowest CAS value 1600MHz memory sticks I...

    I've Made A New, Heavy, Rendering Benchmark. Looking For Testers!

    Definitely going to want to just try out the regular 1024 x 576 render. One of my OC'd 3930K rigs took over 3 hours to churn out a 2048 x 1152 render...that's a pretty unfriendly test for Phenom X4 chips. Interestingly and sadly enough...that still doesn't even begin to approach some of...

    I've Made A New, Heavy, Rendering Benchmark. Looking For Testers!

    What memory speed was that with? The render time sounds pretty much right, almost identical to a 4.8GHz 2600K. 37% higher clock speed plus ~5% due to fewer inefficiencies from multi threading versus 50% more cores. I'm guessing your RAM is 1600MHz since you scored almost exactly 20% slower than...

    I've Made A New, Heavy, Rendering Benchmark. Looking For Testers!

    Yeah that's a rather huge resolution to render this image at. Probably looked nice though! I have the scene defaulting to 1024 x 576 to keep render times down to around an hour on my 2600K, any chance you'd be willing to crunch it at that default resolution? Nah it's only an hour on my quad...

    I've Made A New, Heavy, Rendering Benchmark. Looking For Testers!

    A dual X5690 would probably score around 16.5 or so, which would mean a render time of ~35:20 or so.

    I've Made A New, Heavy, Rendering Benchmark. Looking For Testers!

    Oh and this (unfortunately) uses small enough RAM that you could definitely throw the project folder onto a RAMdisk partition and render to and from there. Maya doesn't actually save out an image until you say so, and it will pull all the source images into RAM immediately as the rendering...
