HeyItsChris

Thanks man. Yeah I'm first gonna start with C32 to see what it's all about then build a G34 system afterward. PS - I added a PCIe USB 3.0 card with USB 3.0 front panel header but the BIOS doesn't detect flash drives plugged into it so I cannot boot from drives plugged in it. Do you have any experience with this? The BIOS is from a FM1 socket Gigabyte GA-A55M-S2V motherboard from which I am testing it on. thanks Description: Specifications: Type: 2 External USB3.0 Port + Internal 19Pin Header Expansion Card Chipset: for VIA-VL805 Q6 Bus Modes: PCI-E x1 Compatible Slot: PCI-E x1/x4/x8/x16 USB Interface: 2 External USB3.0 Port + 19Pin Header(2 Internal USB3.0 Port) Transfer Rate: USB3.0 5Gb/s

@pioneerisloudThat Dual Xeon rig looks so sick bro. What case is that, is it 4U Chassis or something? I'm not terribly familiar with the server chassis but I do know the 1U & 2U are a bit smaller. By the way, I used to run dual xeons x5675s with 48 gigabytes of ram & it scored 1,505 points on Cinebench R15 multi. I'm sure my Opteron 4386 rig won't touch it on Cinebench but I heard something about the Core's being not the best for integer math or something along those lines. I'm all about #AMD these days so I wouldn't go #Intel ever again likely. I'm loving #AMD so much these days. By the way what's the maximum GPU I can run on this H8SCM-F supermicro board? I hear they won't work with Navi architecture, so I'm stuck with Polaris I guess huh?

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll update this thread when I get my parts in & start building the C32 8-core Opteron system to start. Thanks again, Chris

@Avacado Thanks buddy. Hopefully @pioneerisloud May chime in here if he gets notified about me tagging him. Maybe I should define the PLL chip on the board & use SetFSB?

To start out I bought the Supermicro H8SCM-F which will be paired initially with 16 gigabytes of DDR3-1600 Micron Non-ECC ram but will later upgrade to 64-128 gigabytes of DDR3-1600 Registered ECC ram. Not to mention the CPU(s) I bought are the AMD Opteron 4122 Quad-Core for initial BIOS flashing purposes to get it working with the other CPU I bought, the AMD Opteron 4284 Octa-Core CPU. I think the BIOS needs to be updated on the Supermicro H8SCM-F before it will work with the 4284 CPU. My question is, how would I go about overclocking this CPU the 4284? Later on I'll buy the Supermicro H8SGL-F Socket G34 board to use with the AMD Opteron 6386 SE 16-cores Hexadeca-Core CPU. I want to overclock these CPU's to get more performance out of them. What kinds of CInebench R15 multi scores can we guess the 4284 will get & the 6386 SE Single-Socket Configuration? Thanks
