Looking for BEEFY bare metals

Hey LET!
I am new here and wanted to start my first post out with something I’ve been struggling with!
I’m looking for some bare metals for my company with some pretty beefy stats:
EU DC
Epyc 2nd or 3rd gen (7443p preferably)
512 GB DDR4 RAM
1x 2 TB NVME SSD
1x 1 TB NVME SSD
I hope someone in here has what I’m looking for!
I am flexible with payment ( card, bank, crypto)
Regards,
Linus

What's your average budget?
Have you checked the offer forum?
Have you checked the offer forum?
Hetzner? https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/ax161/configurator#/
With 512 GB RAM, whatever you get is gonna be pretty expensive.
Hardware cost $8061 so it's $134.35/month at 5-year depreciation assuming zero interest rate.
The offer forum is limited to $100/month.
You won't find this server in the offer forum.
Have you checked the offer forum?
That is indeed a beefy server, would you commit for more than a month?
Yea that wouldn't be a problem
from my understanding is offer limited to 100
hardware cost is over 8000 so it would be ALOT over 100 a month
Check with Leaseweb. They have AMD servers in Germany, Netherlands, and UK. They can probably whip something up for you. Would have to be a custom order, won't find anything that beefy in their standard lineup.
Maybe talk to the guys at https://deltaphon.net/dedicated_server.html - they have an AMD EPYC 7452 with 2*2TB NVME and 128GB memory, so ask them to do a custom offer with 512GB memory.
Disclosure: I've never used them or contacted them, so I can't say anything about them, the network, support quality, downtimes etc.
Hi Linus,
Beefy and custom servers, that's something we like!
We can offer you a HPE ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus server with an EPYC 7302P from stock. Let us know what bandwidth you need, this server comes with 5G uplink by default and can be upgraded to 50G.
If you are interested please get in touch with us and tell us more about your project
But the best option would probably be Hetzner again:
choose the AX161 (AMD EPYC 7502p) with 512gb memory, one 960gb nvme drive and one 1.92tb nvme drive, comes at about 310€ plus tax monthly with 120€ setup.
Comparison of different AMD Epyc CPUs quoted is this thread:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-EPYC-7452-vs-AMD-EPYC-7443P-vs-AMD-EPYC-7302P-vs-AMD-EPYC-7502P/3600vs4391vs3610vs3538
we need the extra power and the better base clock, high boost frequency.
Then you may have to think about switching from AMD to Intel?
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+Gold+6248R+@+3.00GHz&id=3732&cpuCount=2

Doesnt run as well for my purpose.
It going to be used for Solana. RPCs
Does it have to be Epyc?
We have a 3960X laying around and never decided to use that build. The benchmark is similar to a 7443p. Only problem is that the board we have only supports 256GB RAM. The processor allegedly supports up to 512GB RAM according to some sources but I don't know if this is just "theoretical." We have all the parts for the 256GB build on hand.
With 256GB RAM we'd be able to do it for $800 setup + $450 per month in Amsterdam. Realistically 3-4 weeks setup time barring it getting stuck being shipped/customs.
For 512GB RAM, if you can find a board and RAM combo that supports it, probably another $800 setup fee or +$50-100 a month depending on the term length.
We can provide dual EPYC (96c), up to 1024GB RAM and up to 12 x NVMe in LON. Reach out to us to get a quote - [email protected]
@LinusFromArox Are you looking for a particular location?
Germany if possible. but as long as its in the EU
Vultr has an EPYC 7443p, but I don't know if you can upgrade memory with them (it comes with 256GB memory, two 480gb ssds and two 1.9TB NVMEs), so I would contact them. They have DCs in Germany, Netherlands, France, Poland, Sweden and UK for dedicated bare metal.
