HDD: 2 x 960 GB NVMe
RAM: 128 GB DDR4 ECC RAM

ive lost track of all these new AMD codenames
when is bulldozer dropping again?
Around the same time Nvidia gives you 4GB memory instead of 3.5
The configurations they offer on it are hella nice for the price.
$7
Definitely it'll be interesting if anyone else actually offers them not a lot of providers if went for Ryzen.
@mikewazar
According to pre-release info Epyc cpus are better bang for buck than Intel. In price/performance ratio amd wins, and its not just a win, its knockout because amd is able to deliver mid XX% more performance for same money compared to intel (excluding AVX workload - here intel wins).
@DrFallen
Ryzen is not server optimized, no ecc support, no mobos with IPMI, so its not made for server market. Thats why not many providers offer ryzen CPUs
According to teses here:
https://www.servethehome.com/amd-epyc-7401p-linux-benchmarks-and-review-something-special/
AMD 7401P ( $1,180 according to sabrepc.com) is comparable to Intel gold 6138 gold 6138 ($2,612) so its no brainer.
Many brands (like dropbox, baidu) ordered tons of Epyc cpus before these cpus went "live" because of outstanding price/performance ratio.
Ryzen fully supports ecc
Still it needs a mobo to fully function. No I'm not saying that there's no such mobo. It's just tricky.
How's it tricky? Hell, even BIOSTAR has one.
Yeah I can't think of any that don't. Maybe the non-overclock boards idk probably wrong.
Early boards didn't have support but have mostly since had very 'tricky' bios updates.
Damn, that's a really good price, and the cpu is a beast
In the first couple days, no mobo supported that (at least no one claimed). Then some mobo may appear and they support ECC, some may get random BIOS upgrade that eventually supports that? I don't know.
It's not a generally available option. You have to carefully pick those who actually claimed to support ECC to get ECC support. That's what I mean by
tricky
.With any C612+E5v3, you know the mobo cpu combo supports ECC. With any Ryzen+Chipset, you don't.
Here's a sample (small) list from May-

Wow, that processor makes me feel extremely inadequate. I'm still running a first gen P4 2.4Ghz no HT with 640MB of memory.
Why tho?
Not everbody has a grand and change to blow on a damn CPU.
I want to test it so badly to see how the NVMe drives perform compared to the consumer SSDs in EX41-SSD. But once again it's the setup fee that holds me off from doing it lol.
Surprisingly a first gen P4 with 1GB of RAM runs Windows 7 reasonably well on IDE drives. I have a handful of cheap SBCs (ODROID, RPi, OPi) that offloaded a number of other support services (plex,NAS,LEMP,etc), so no need to spend big bucks to upgrade the desktop.
Couple that with pushing some services out to cyberspace (Kimsufi,BuyVM,Ramnode,etc) for a few bucks a month each, and there is even less need to beef up the desktop. Over time it's essentially becoming a thin client. A relatively power hungry thin client, but a thin client nonetheless. I imagine it being completely replaced at some point with an SBC of some sort.
Huh fair enough sounds like you got it all sorted I was still on a E8400 until 2014 so I find it cool to see what people do with older hardware that was all @wss I definitely don't have the mega bucks.
So sad Hetzner do not allow adult site.
Just hide the .mp4 in a folder called "definitlynotporn" and you're all good.
