Dont know don't have a killawat

No i don't mine. But for comparison i can provide data from some other folks. From STH. EPYC 7702 Cinebench - 19589 Dual XEON Platinum 8136 - 14525 43000 H/sec Monero on EPYC 7702 21000 H/sec on dual 8136

The biggest Headache was getting the RX 580 Drivers installed. I had to keep one screen connected to the onboard VGA and then the LG Connected to the RX580 at which i point i could see W10 had installed its own drivers for the 580. Then ran AMD Installer to get the most up to date drivers. Then...

At the the the time there were 5 or 6 of these available. Now all sold.

So the CPU Is an OEM CPU and AMD puts ES in the processor name for anything that is non-retail. Unlike Retail it can be OC'd but otherwise identical to Retail. Hence way cheaper than retail. I never would have gone EPYC if it had been retail pricing. The other option I Was considering was dual...

~$3K

The price i grabbed it on sale from newegg. It was $15 off at the time. It was the best ban for the buck i could find at the time. Here's the card: https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-580-rx-580-8gt-oc/p/N82E16814137479?Item=N82E16814137479

I updated the original post to reflect where i source components in case anyone is interested in a similar build.

Why do you say that? I don't game. And i specifically avoided Nvidia for this build, on purpose. I did consider a Radeon Pro 5500 but didn't think it was worth it.

I have a built an EPYC Based workstation. This is only the 3rd AMD Rig i have ever built. Idea was Non Intel Non Nvidia Build. I don't game - just video editing, photoshop mainly. Typically use Dual Xeon for my video editing workstations and have been editing for the last 3 years on dual Haswell...

Need some help here because this really frustrating. Workstation which is used for video editing was a dual X5550 on a Supermicro X8DAH with 12 gigs of ram and a Vector SSD along with various 4TB HDs. Video card was a 5770 from XFX. System was built in 2009-2010. It Had been doing just fine But...

OK Got it on storage - I'd like to do NVME or M.2 for the boot drive/os drive. Media will bve exporte to and save to My HGST 4 and 6TBs. I work with 720 video mainly as i edit and upload news clips - this all really a hobby that i make a little money from. I see the 8 core sandys are pretty...

Budget - no exact dollar amount but i'd like to be as thrifty as i can by going used with the CPUs and anything else i can. Already have the case a Cosmos II. Software - Premiere, Handbrake. Storage not an issue as i have dozens of terabytes.

Looking for advice on 8 10 or 12 core xeons. There are so many choices and am wondering what would be the best bang for the buck - v1, v2, v3 - on used Xeons for a new Video Editing system. Right now on 2 5680s Westmeres that were used to upgrade my 5550s. anyways whatever advice is appreciated.

thanks for the reply i got the card and it works and it fits on the board. there's about a 1 mm of clearance or less between the card and the Intel IOH 36Ds - those square silver things. Card seems to be working fine. I don't game and just needed something to replace my 5770 which was really...
