First Epyc build, looking for guidance.
First Epyc build, looking for guidance.
Hi there, currently I am planning my first Epyc build. I want to get the Epyc 7443P. Here are the components I have choosen: Supermicro H12SSL-CT 2x I went with 4x now Micron RDIMM 32GB, DDR4-3200, CL22-22-22, reg ECC (MTA18ASF4G72PDZ-3G2E1R) For now I want to go with 2x 32GB modules and get more later. Will this RAM work fine with the motherboard? I am currently not so familiar with server builds. Anyway, I want to have more PCIe lanes, ECC, flexibility and the remote management. It will be a nice addition to my home network, since I have upgraded to 10GbE. I plan to run unRAID or something else. Maybe Windows Server 2022 Datacenter. I have not decided yet. Especially the higher boost frequency is important for me, I want to do some Gaming, too. My usual workload will be: Running VMs, programming, compiling, rendering (Blender), Photoshop, etc... My current hardware: Ryzen Threadripper 1900X AMD Radeon Pro W5700 8GB (will go in the new build) MSI X399 Carbon Gaming AC 8x 16GB (running at 2666 MHz) A couple of M.2 NVMe and S-ATA SSDs (will go in the new build) Seasonic FOCUS GX-850 80+ Gold (will go in the new build) Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 (will go in the new build) Mellanox ConnectX-3 (will go in the new build) Thank you in advance.
The RAM should function, but you'll only have dual-channel access, which means performance will be limited
Instead of adding another Threadripper Pro, consider upgrading to the latest version.
Sure, you can still create that. It would be just as effective, if not more so.
This project progressed smoothly. I'm expecting a 7313p to arrive tomorrow for my workstation. It will take over the role of my 1950X, now focusing mainly on NAS functions. The hardware specs are nearly identical except for the graphics card—an RX 6800XT with a quad-channel setup of 128 GB at 2666Mhz. I'm eager to experience the performance boost this upgrade will provide, especially since Threadripper Pro is becoming increasingly costly and hard to obtain.
It went really well overall. I'm very happy with the build and performance; stability is outstanding. Having only four DIMMs already makes it perform well. Previously, my GPU W5700 caused Windows to crash after a while, but now it's working perfectly. Switching to the RX6600 resolved that issue completely.
