I understood VirMach was cost comparing the relative capacity of one Dual Epyc 7351 node to 2.5-3x Ryzen 3900X nodes.
I opened a ticket in Billing Department 3days ago, when will Billing Department working,waiting in painful
if you want cheap ryzen, use purple guy
unless you want ipv6, that is
I had a cheeseburger 3 days ago, it was really good.
Painful comes later when you sit on the white throne
Without rubber bands?
(edit) Actually I'll just speak about this later.
CPU and memory get bottlenecked first with the 3900X or even 5950X in most cases, however, per unit, Epyc will end up with a CPU bottleneck. And first generation Epyc which is the only one realistic to use due to the cost of the newer generations will have a bigger speed bottleneck for memory due to 1st gen infinity fabric.
But of course Ryzen does have the problems you mentioned, the main one being the cap (128GB) on memory and using more expensive/rare UDIMM ECC versus RDIMM ECC.
Why this place so quiet ?
I don't know
I was going to posts seconds ago but pressed the sign out button instead.
It could be a sign.
Anyway I will continue watching Grey's Anatomy.
Welcome back! Glad that you didnt forget your password
Be vewy vewy quiet - we're hunting Ryzens...
Waiting for break news today.
What did you break?
Which season?
Because those missing VPS have finally been provisioned... Or cancelled.
With the Alpha test going on I have also been surprised by the lack of comments in :https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/174214/virmach-ryzen-alpha-beta-test-results-and-comments#latest//
The one where a doctor dies.
:-)
Glad you did not mention the one where a doctor dies in the following season, followed by another doctor dying two seasons later.
Happy watching
The last one. Season 17 I think.
@FrankZ tagging you as we had a brief discussion about this earlier in case you're still interested.
For the first batch of Windows server we're going to try to use the RAID controllers because [A] the Windows plans use a little bit less disk per unit of RAM and CPU, so we can just do 4 x 2TB NVMe (instead of 4 x 4TB which is a little too much), [B] they have room for 3x 1TB SSDs which we can use for more frequent backups and as a temporary direct replacement as needed, and [C] four bays for hard drives for more backups.
Not super finalized but barring any major complications I'd feel safer using the controllers if we have plenty of backups and Windows is a good place to start because no matter what we add to the server the most insane cost will always be the licensing.
Once we put more beta people on (alpha had less people) and then make some issues appear it should get more active. I'm thinking of starting off by asking DC hands to remove the CPU heatsink.
Ask them to add some more RAM, no need to power down first.
Maybe he can unplug the network cables, just to increase activity.
Time to hammer down CPU!
Oh wait, I am still doing that.

@VirMach I am always interested to hear about your build configuration details. One of those things that most providers don't talk about very much.
Bumping up my CPU usage to 100% in 3,2,1 ....
