Building a Dual Xeon Server in POV Mode! 

Thank you!

+Adrian Schwizgebel And you are mine for commenting! :D

Time and price :)

is the motherboard worth it? or should i go with x79 x2 and save about 500-700 usd

+Nick Grace Depends on your needs. Do you really need a dual-cpu config? In most cases are you better with a faster i7. I`m using mine for hosting a lot of VM`s with different tasks.

CPU heavy tasks, are multiple better? how about tasks designed for multi CPU?

Tom Jacobs Thank you sir!

@@deletewin32 i dream of this motherboard, i want a dual cpu dual gpu setup but the cost is killing me.

Tom Jacobs today you probably should get ryzen/threadripper/epyc or new xeon’s if you want alot of cores with high performance!

@@deletewin32 i know and iv been going over other build on several forums and everyone says im a madman to do this in 2019 but im just looking for used parts. i already have the case, watercooling loop and 1200w seasonic psu :)

Tom Jacobs Well, if you like «older» tech, then go for it. I should not be shaming you for that. How much are a refurb/used board like this in your country?

+ludwig EAE Thank you! :)

+Jordan Cruz Thank you! That sounds awesome! :) I used iMovie.

You have good taste in CPU coolers. Noctua FTW.

I cry everytime ;)

:D

Thank you!

@@deletewin32 2022 I find youtube suggesting this to me again & I want to say still beautiful lol

Absolutly!

I don`t have this one anymore, but It was silent enough to have it in the same room as I was working in! That probably says it all :)

+Zveir Mostly virtualization, hosting servers and operatingsystems! :)

+Davide Accorsi That´s probably true, but I havent noticed any thermal issues yet. Peeking around 60-65c under load.

Adrian Rodriguez Thank you for the comment! 😎

Thank you! :)

It was lacking an extra 12v 8pin connector for the extra CPU. Here are the final result: instagram.com/p/BEx9Vo_zFkk/

Like all other motherboards - You need to short two pins. Link: www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2011-jumping-a-motherboard-without-power-switch-button

Richard Howard This server was ment to as fast as possible in any ways, so I only used SSD in the final build! (Onboard SATA-Controller) 😎

+Felix Martono I don`t think so, but you can check memory-compability here: www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z10PED8_WS/HelpDesk_QVL/

@@deletewin32 Hey mate did you figure out if non ecc ram works?

This server are moved over to an Fractal Design Define XL R2 cabinett, with a 140mm fan in the back, so I don`t think I can answer that one. (But yes, I think it gets some degrees warmer, but not by much.)

Cool thanks for the answer! Keep up your content, I like it!

Thank you! :D

I have an old Dual 130watt Xeon and if you place a fan on the back of the first heatsink it will improve air flow making the second cpu only about a degree hotter. I wouldnt consider this fan stacking when a heatsink is in the middle.....

haha never mind the cpu is only 85watts and your coolers are already overkill haha

+Jannik Jung I can measure the db if you want, but after I exchanged the PSU has it gotten almost as silent as it can be! :)

+Jannik Jung Both CPU-coolers are doing a great job, but I think I could have choosen a higher pressure/RPM fan if I wanted to! :)

Thanks for your fast reply! I am planning to get the same cooler, but I was unsure if those 92mm Fans would be too noisy. I might just give it a try, because I only heard goog things about Noctua!

+Jannik Jung If you use the Noctua-parts/accessories right, you should be getting great airflow with low db. What other parts are you going to use? If it is ment to be on a gaming-computer, would I probably recommend a 120-140mm cooler!

It is going to be a virtualization Host Server in a Chenbro RM41416 4U case. I am using a Intel S2600CWT Mainboard and a single E5-2658v3 with 16GB DDR4 ECC RAM (might upgrade soon). I am also using the EVGA Power Supply, ha! It will be running in my office, so I'm a little bit concerned about noise, that is why I was asking.

Well, Ryzen/Treadripper are pretty much the most performance you can get for your money now a days :) -

​@@deletewin32 Yeah, I've always used Intel processors but AMDs massive comeback seems promising.

+kierran scown I am from Norway, so I used the most commen onlinestore in our country. I bought it from "Komplett.no", but here`s the modell: www.chieftec.eu/en/chassis/19q-ipc/unc-410f-b.html

+slowdog294 Thanks! Lots of Power! :)

+Jeremy R Awesome 😎

As it shall for a long time to come. :)

Well, in idle was the temps: 38c and 40c. 68C and 72C under heavy load. I could probably have used some more, but I had to build it fast.

DaTHack I see ;) can happen. nice for sharing temps ^^. regardless of the compound, I didn't expect it to be that high on full load. After all the noctua cooler (tdp 140w) is almost rated twice the tdp of the cpu at Base freq (tdp 86w). I guess with turbo boost freq well over 3ghz on full load it might close in to the tdp140w mark anyway ^^. Cheers ✌

This is actually the correct method of applying the paste since the heat sink will spread it out as the screws are torqued down. Less is more. Too much is bad...

A thick drop in the middle isn't spread out equally on the squared surface. it ends up a coin size on square surface cpu & heatsink. Maybe a coin shape paste on a square die can be "okay" or good enough. but is not 100% optimal use. The correct method is to apply the paste smeared across the squared cpu die or heatsink contact point in the very thin layer possible. just for full contact & thermal conductivity. Manufacturers pack the pasting syringe in a typically 5ml to cover 1 cpu & 15ml to cover 3 cpu's. With 5ml they've kept in mind to minimize chance to overdo it, even for beginner users. Some manufacturers state this way of use, but every serious overclocker who renews their cooling paste periodically/annually can tell you same. They diligently apply cooling paste like it's an art itself. just my 2cents mate ^^ Go with whatever gives you better performance. cheers

Actually, it does not matter if the paste covers the entire lid of the CPU since the die only occupies the central region. The heat will transfer from the CPU to the sink as long as the part where the die is has enough compound to keep the air out of the contact zone without being so think that it acts as an insulator instead. For socketR LGA2011 CPUs, it is indeed best to spread the paste out since the die is much bigger...

I really want to see that! - Make a video! :D

@@deletewin32 Maybe.. It's used parts from eBay, so they will arrive within 10 days.

Most likly not. I fits in the biggest fractal define case. (See my updated video)

+koreamedia www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/Z10PED8_WS/specifications/

I've seen it. Let me double check. Nope.

:(

Its all about the process! :)

Depends on which 1080 Ti you are planning on using. I think most(95%) of the MSI, ASUS, NVIDIA, GIGABYTE and ZOTAC models are pretty OK in this case.

OZ YILMAZ I got it from a norwegian online-store(Komplett.no). Here's the official site for the rack: www.chieftec.eu/en/chassis/19-ipc/unc-410f-b.html I hope you can find it somewhere in your country! ☺

thank you. i hope so

+OZ YILMAZ You can Google "870M Overwatch", then you probably should find some videoes with gameplay and FPS-Counter/benchmarks.

Thats cool!

ahmed sultan I was using another powersupply. You can check it out on the updated video and Instagram!

I updated the description with specs! :)

+Tear Spacer Yes, and very powerfull! :)

DaTHack will you do an update video showing benchmarks like cinebench and such?

+Tear Spacer If you guys want to see the scores/live-performance then yes. Is it any other benchmark-softwares that you want to see the performance/score on? :)

Yes please

+Marvin Goldsmith This server has a own job/workload, so I can`t use it for rendring :)

bruhhhhhh

+Sakura Ayumi I was using Xeon E3-1231 V3 in a lame MSI motherboard before I upgraded! :)

«Point Of View» - I have attached the GoPro to my chest, so you can see from my «side» 🤓

You install it like you normally would have installed it on a 1 CPU system. BUT you should install Windows 10 PRO!

Thank you! :)

Thats a possibility! :)

"The longest free song that RU-vid have in their database of music"! xD

+DaTHack titles 😭?

9th Symphony, Finale (by Beethoven) Beethoven

Or 3 Titan XP`s! :D

Or Quadro GP100's. www.nvidia.com/object/quadro-desktop-gpus.html

Mozart?

Pauluz de Boskabouter No :(

DaTHack Aaaargh, to bad!

For real, this computer could probably have alot of VM`s running Pong times x 😏

DaTHack Hehehehe!

+On Live English please.

напиши ссылку магазина где можно купить только корпус. без материнской платы,процессора,кулеров.Чисто корпус дёшево.

Not sure where you can find it in your country, but I bought it from a Norwegian computershop. (They does`nt ship outside of Norway) Here`s the official site for the case/chassie: www.chieftec.eu/en/chassis/19-ipc/unc-410f-b.html
