That is a lot of ppds. IN Q_Cruncher (out on prizes)

That's not a bad idea. Same method I use to polish my headlights.

It's worked well enough for Microsoft Office, that there was speculation that Office 2019 would be the last stand alone version of Office, but almost certainly Office 2021 will be the last version of Office with a standalone license and not a subscription.

If you don't mind pulling the pins out of the connectors, you can get large sizes of braided cable sleeving and combine multiple PCIe cables into a single run. You might be able to expand the sleeving enough to get it to fit over the connector without removing it. Then it would just be one nice and neat budle running up to the GPUs, with each connector exiting the sleeving right at the GPU. I built most of the wiring harness for my old Jeep like that, and it looks really clean. https://www.cabletiesandmore.com/general-purpose-braided-sleeving

That will leave me in the wildcard slot. I've been testing some random GPUs, so I'll have the hardware sorted before we go live.

I am actually making progree on the new server now. I have migrated all the storage off my old 2P server, and hooked everything up to a 3200G/x570 board on one of my benches. I am currently archiving a bunch of data, since part of the plan on the down sizing was to trim down on some of my data hoarding. I may end up needing a few more drives, because I'm not sure I want to offline enough stuff to fit in the 24TB media (usable) pool + 4TB (online critical backups) that I was planning on. I'm probably going to grab a few more HDDs, which will bring the total up to 10 HDDs in the chasis + 1 in the hot-swap. New Heatkiller radiators arrived last week, and the case is stripped down and cleaned. Next step will be to plastidip or paint the scratched up acrylic side panel. I'll post some pics once that is done, and then it will be time to actually start putting everything together in the case and get it off my bench.

6-pin PCIe can safely provide a mimimum additional 150W, so unless you get really crazy and run 14 GPUs on that board, you should be good.

You should be fine with that board. The Sage is designed as a compute/rendering/ML workstation, so it is designed to run several power hungry GPUs. It has auxillary PCIe power, and it sounds like you also have powered risers. I regulary run 4 Radeon VIIs, each pulling >380W, on my Threadripper workstation without a hitch.

You guys are doing it wrong. @zodac @axipher @iamjanco @u3b3rg33k @damric @firedfly @schuck6566 and @cscoder4ever are obviously part of the enlightened crew.

Anyone else have issues with p18202? My 980 with a "conservative" OC can finish the unit, but it invariably has some errors along the way. Stable on every other WU it's run at current clocks.

A little late to the show here, and I can't tell if all of your adapters are powered or passive. I would be careful running more than 2 (maybe 3 GPUs) with passive cables/adapters. I toasted a 2P Xeon board that didn't have supplementary PCIe power, running 4 GPUs at max OC 24/7. Took out the 24-pin header, and fried some of the 12v traces on the board. Other than that, awesome job on the bench and it's great to @Spotswood gear in action

It's the ATX board, so 4 x16 PCIe slots (2 @ x16 electrical; 2 @ x8 electrical) and three M.2 slots (2 from the CPU and one from the chipset).

Thanks for the update @axipher That sucks on the x399 boards. I still have an x399 Taichi if you get in a pinch and need a board.

Just saw this post. Thanks to @ENTERPRISE @BWG @zodac @axipher and anyone else who helped to put this together.

One of these might work, depending on the size of your board. https://kprepublic.com/products/mstone-clear-forested-dust-cover-anti-dust-guard-cap-mechanical-keyboard-40-60-65-80-poker-gh60-bm60-xd64-xd68-bm65-87?_pos=1&_sid=600de15f1&_ss=r&variant=36372404175011

Is the handicapping system still up for tweaks? I have been testing some misc. hardware, and it seems like the all OS numbers, rather than the Windows/Linux numbers, are a little closer to reality on both platforms, especially on older less powerful gear.

Fresh off the boat (actually an airplane) from Germany :) New pair of Watercool Heatkiller 360-L rads for my home server.

This worked for the images in my T-ripper server build log. Only about half the links were broken, but the edit->save->edit->re-insert fixed all the images, without having to re-upload anything.
