Re: [DENIS Project] Today is the day // Hoy es el día
I'm probably going to run it at least until I get to a million points and/or the start of the next PG challenge.

Re: Cable modem woes
Dealing with an ISP is tedious but maybe less so than dealing with unreliable internet. I think I would also ask the provider to replace the modem, or even just buy my own to avoid that hassle, if they allow you to.

Re: eBay: 1U GPU server setups
I didn't think about the redundant PSU's load balancing. The low ball offer was $550. I don't know that I think those machines are worth more than maybe $750 personally.

Re: eBay: 1U GPU server setups
I just meant the power supply in the unit is rated at 1000 watts at 120v, 1600 watts at 240v. If the P100 shows 175 w in Nvidia-smi or other monitoring tools it's likely that it's drawing more than that. I don't have a P100 but that has been my experience with other cards at least. It probably would...

Re: eBay: 1U GPU server setups
Might cut it a bit close on power too if plugged into a standard outlet. It's 1000 watts plugged into a normal outlet, 1600 watts on a 240v outlet. 3 video cards plus 56 Xeon cores crunching could be close to 1000 watts.

Re: EPYC 7551P 8-GPU Setup
The problem with that breakout board is that the 8 pin EPS connector is just jumpered off the main ATX connector. I wouldn't risk it on anything other than a super low power usage CPU like a Pentium dual core or something. This image shows it clearly- https://www.parallelminer.com/wp-content/uploads...

Re: big coolers
Since you have a dedicated space for your hardware now why not just stack 3 or 4 20" box fans on top of one another and attach them to the side/front/rear or whatever of whatever shelf you're using to hold all the equipment? I may do something like that at some point but I do still have some m...

Re: big coolers
Then again, any SP4 based computer would still need comparably high airflow for the VRMs. Watercooling, with a waterblock mounted onto the VRM section (though still with fans to provide some airflow for the RAM areas) might be a better choice for such a project after all. What would be your recomme...

Re: My first epyc build
Nice build! I agree on the IPMI/iKVM - it's 100% game changing. I would have used workstation or server boards that had it for every machine I've put together if I realized just how useful it was. All the other parts are more or less what I would have used if I were setting this machine up. I have a...

I went with DDR4-3200 for Epyc Rome myself, i.e. the top possible speed, but merely out of principle, not based on particular performance measurements. Do you think it's likely DDR4-2400 would be a bottleneck for this build? My thought process being that with 8 channel memory the memory speed shoul...
