True. If one is to plunge for SP3 board, one might as well make it dual socket. Supermicro's H11DSi-NT is a bit over €600 in EU and that's dual socket...

Or you make a custom block for Epyc with split per-die waterflow....

[Brane215]

Biggest Epyc equals roughly 4 x 1800x dies, working at 60% of f 1800x speed and with 45W per die. Suppose you OC that Epyc so that your TDP jumps to 360W...

[Brane215]

But Epyc has 4x BIGGER die area. You have 4 dies, so you cool each one for itself, just like on any other machine.

This makes it radically...

[Brane215]

With nice watercooling this shouldn't be a problem....

[Brane215]

True, but BIOS would make life easier. Also, I suspect Epyc might have ceiling on attainable multipliers. But it sure would be nice to know whether hardware...

[Brane215]

But it would be helluva niche if AMD would open Epycs for voerclocking. Supermicro's 2P board is €600. Put two 24-core models on it, overclock them...

[Brane215]

Meh.Using Epyc for CPU muscle alone doesn't make much sense. It's low frequency part that doesn't have that much to offer if anyone doesn't need extra...

I've just emerged it on Gentoo. This version wants a couple of new libraries ( libdazzle etc) but still fails at start with a message that it couldn't...
