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...

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.

Looking at getting a GTX 950 but the full size cards are around 10.1 inches long - a little worried it might fit in the x8dah cause of where the silver square heatsink thingys are. anyone foresee it being a problem fitting?

I have to swap out my current X8DAH for the new open box one i grabbed from newegg as the USB ports have failed on the current board so i am left with only one functional port. Since i have to pull everything i was thinking about getting the cosmos 2 - currently in the silver cosmos S I think it...

This might be a stupid question but for things like SnapRaid or unRaid, does anyone back up or clone the parity drive?

I have a haswell cpu still in the box that I havent used. I was planning on pairing this a matx board, 8 gigs of ram, ssd for the OS (W7), and my 4TB drives though will probably use a 6 for the parity drive. Case is a supermicro case i was given. Question is should I be considering server...

There are ASR-5805Z on Ebay for under a hunder. Is this a good choice for a home server/NAS that will use Snapraid? Or should I just stick with getting a serveraid?

I'd like some recommendations for a inexpensive SAS controller that can support 4 and 6tb drives (HGST in case you need to know). I'll be running Snapraid on Windows. I know I'll need the SAS to SATA breakout cables as well. But cards I dont' have a clue.

I was given an old dual xeon server a couple of days that I am going to gut and toss in a haswell cpu i have, small board ram etc and turn it into my NAS/home server. Windows will be the OS so I want to which I should consider Snapraid or disParity? Right now I have just 4tb HGST drives but at...

I was thinking about a maxwell card for cuda enhanced rendering in premiere cs6. Currently have a 5770 with dual x5550. PSU is 850 watt enermax. Now I know that Maxwell is good for those with smaller PSUs but is it a good match for the x5550s? I like the price too. Seems to be good bang for the...

By using SnapRAID with Liquesce on Windows, would that essentially give functionality very close to FlexRAID?

I will soon have another Hitachi 2tb (bought odditory's last one) which wil give a total 6x2TB drives - 5 hitachis and 1 WD EARX. Would there be a problem mixing these drives in a RAID configuration, probably RAID 5? I know the greens have that whole head parking thing.

I need some server advice. I have an P4 that i thinkhas died - no longer get a video signal. So ithought i can repurpose themid tower case as a server for the home to back files up - hundreds of gigs of photos, dvd rips, home video, premier and photoshop work. Right now i use hot swap HDs in my...

Tiger has this monitor as a refurb on sale for ~$240 before tax/shipping. Any thoughts on this panel? Ideally I would like an IPS since photoshop is my main deal but price is a concern too.

I saw some 8 core ES Xeon 1.86 ghz 18mb cache for sale. How are these for folding, say in a quad setup?

Has anyone here at [H] ordered one of these monitors? They look interesting because of price. Shipping seems a bit high tho'

I have a couple of x5550 and am itching for an upgrade of some sort. So thinking about upgrading to a pair of x5650 if i find some cheeapish maybe ESs. Would i notice much of change with the extra threads? I dont fold but going to be getting into it.

There are some A0 steppings Hexacore 5650/60 Xeons on Cheapbay. Any issues running the A0s on the SR2?

I am still using a 17 inch monitor with mY dual xeon setup. Biggest reason i am using this monitor is the colors ae a dead on accurate for photographic work/photoshop. Plus it has really good speakers for a monitor. It is several years old but no dead pixels. I deally i would like to migrate to...

I havent seen anything that says if it will support the nonstandard form factor of the SR2/3. Anyone know? Even if it doesnt the case looks awesome...

I have $215 in visa gift cards and want to put that towards my first SSD. So i am looking at the 256 C400 over at super biiz. Or should i wait for the240 gig vertex 3 which appears that it will be out next week at least according to ++++. One thing that bugs me about the Vertex 3 is the...

So i just ordered the sr2. And now a couple of more questions: I use a pair of lowly x5550 quads - what kind of temps could i expect on air using my Noctua NHU12DX 1366 coolers, assuming clocks in the mid 3's - not looking for any super OC. Also is the temperature gradient/difference...

I am close to pulling trigger on an sr2. I had planned to get one back in october but became busy with work etc. i currently kvr 1333 mhz ecc nonreg membory in my x8dah. Will running this ram on an sr2 with my pair of x5550 limit my OC?
