Skylake-EP/EX 28 Cores L3-Cache 38.5 MB

I would strongly suspect that this means that the chip will have a healthy helping of L4 edram. From a performance perspective, it makes sense to have a smaller, but faster, L3 and a larger, but slower, L4. The real question is what is the communication penalty for an off chip, but on package...

16 vs 32 gbs of ram

If the cost differential isn't terrible for your budget, get the 32gb. Memory is a bit like money in that you will always find a new project or application that will eat up what you thought was sufficient. Also, if you are planning on using your system for 4 or 5 years (which seems...

What CPU (and mobo) to get for new build for data crunching?

I have a dual E5-2670 system and have been extremely happy with how it handles tread heavy programs. I haven't used his particular software package, but in my use case, a boat load of memory is extremely helpful. There are a good number of dual e5-2670 systems with 192GB of DDR3 available...

Techspot: Haswell-E vs Dual Xeon (SB-EP)

I am surprised that they only threw 32gb into this machine. Most of the dual 2670 builds that I have seen in my area are either stocked with 128gb or 192gb of memory. I know a lot of guys here are gamers so they need high single tread performance, but for my use case, the more threads and...

Raid Question

Hi Guys, When I try to adjust the adjustable task rates in the LSI megaraid storage manager, I get the following error code "The requested command has invalid arguments". This happens no matter what combination of changes I make to the adjustable rates. If I even increase or decrease one of...

Low end system

Has anyone worked with one of the following? If so, how much room is there in the case to install a new SSD and upgrade the RAM? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Optiplex-7010-Mini-Core-i5-3550-3-3Ghz-Quad-Core-Desktop-Computer-PC-/282043553078?hash=item41ab1b1536:g:MOgAAOSw9k5XPi9e...

Low end system

Hi All, My mother asked me to get her a new desktop computer as her old one is slowly but surely dying. In general, she will be using it for browsing the web, watching a few videos, word processing, excel and light photo retouching. I haven't poked around this end of the market in a long...

Fans not consistently spinning up

Hi Guys, I have an odd problem. About 75% of the time, the fans in my chassis are not spinning up as the workload on my processors increases. Ultimately, this leads to the processors holding around 99 degrees centigrade and throttling as an alarm blares. The rest of the time, the fans...

Raid Question

Hi Guys, My raid went down today and I can't figure out why. I recently purchased a Supermicro server which was crushing what I needed it to do. It has 12 x 2 TB HDDs, 1 x Intel 3700 800GB systems drive, 192GB of memory, Supermicro X9DRI-LN4F+ mother board and the 826BA-R920LPB case with...
