Look what the stork dropped off. Pardon the picture quality, DSLR is in the shop.

More to come as parts trickle in.

I'll follow this thread. ;8)

I'm thinking about a dual motherboard with a couple of Xeons for a new PC I want to build.

Tell me more, tell me more, lalalaaalalaaa.

Ram slots look quite inconveniently placed? are they all gonna be like that, the new boards?

Good luck with the build, dont rush on our account. :)

Yeah careful choosing the cpu coolers...

looks good to me!

its about a 15% gain per core on the same frequency when compared to gulftown.
similar to gulftown vs. Sandy-E

how is stability and temperature?
i would guess these produce a lot of heat when stressed into higher frequencies.

They are running about 40 C during render. These are on water though.

:shock: .. did you get that reading from asus software or hwmon/coretemp?

that really seems too cool. expect you are using a chiller of coures :)

That was from RealTemp i believe. More testing tonight. The cooling is 1 EVGA GTX 580 Classified and the 2 Xeons and 2 480 radiators, so plenty. I can run the fans at about 20% power and its virtually silent.

AMAZING.
Can you please give us the spec?

tks

Here is final spec:

1x Asus Z9PE-D8-WS board
2x Xeon E5-2687w
8x 8GB Corsair Dominator GT CMP32GX3M4X1600C10
1x Quadro 5000
1x EVGA GTX 580 Classified HC2
1x LSI 9265-8i w/ BBU
1x OWC 6G Extreme Pro 240 GB SSD (system)
5x OWC 6G Extreme Pro 120 GB SSD (scratch)
1x Case Labs MH10 case
1x Corsair AX1200 PSU
1x crap dvd drive

i can go into detail on the cooling if anyone is interested, but CPU temps max out at 40C under load.

Power numbers for total system:

System is idling around 250W.
Rendering Maxwell CPU only around 560W.
Rendering in Arion, both CPUs and both GPUs, around 770W. Less than I would have expected.

Thanks.
5x OWC 6G Extreme Pro 120 GB SSD (scratch) > I supose in RAID? How are the performance?
What was the cost of the rig?

So, when looking at xeon chips, they are always a slower GHZ compared to standard chips. Do these chips actually have a lower speed per core or is it just a different speed naming convention....aka even though the xeon chip says 2.6 ghz, the performance will be the same as a standard chip a 3.4 ghz?

I'm looking potentially at building a dual machine like this and not sure how to interpret the speeds.
