FSF assassination.

They are equally easy to deploy. I just don't game anymore.

@not_benis

Ffmpeg likes to have lots of cores for transcoding, which is why I want more of them. But there is a thermal constraint with this case, but the case is chosen due to space constraint.

I can deal with having less cores because I can setup render servers on the other two cases.

So it's really a question of 24 cores that don't thermal throttle, or 48 cores that most likely do.

@not_benis I really don't want to go with AIO if it can be helped because traveling on a plane with these machines becomes more difficult. I'd need to put the cooler on my checked bags.

@not_benis Nevermind that's too expensive.

@not_benis Next what's the difference between A620M and B650 chipset what am I bottlenecking by putting a 7950XD3D on a A620M?

@not_benis Some of these boards have video out on the io. But I don't think that means I can use it unless I have a chip with discreet graphics. Am I able to run these boards headless with that 7950X3D or would I need any of the 8000G chips.

I'm wanting to build three of these systems for a cluster but also match the CPU count of my 1950X. I don't want to buy a Graphics card if I don't have to.

@not_benis

Here's my parts list so far

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DHZmTY

NCORE 100 Comes with AIO and SFF PSU. $370.61
https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/max/mini-itx/ncore-100-max/#

Total cost is $1582 per unit.

Not listed is any 2.5GbE switch, TinyPilot or PiKVM (extra $250-$360). I could reduce the core count to 8-12 and memory to 64GB if heat and price is a concern. Wanted to see if I could get into an iTX format. Originally was going to use 3 HAF Stacker 915F but I can't find them anymore.

One of these could also be a desktop during the day so I could put a GPU in it and then put my TR into a datacenter or retire it.

@not_benis

The 3D chips have a lower TDP of 120W should I just go with that instead 7800X3D and 7950X3D or 7700X because it has 105W. I can reduce the RAM and swap the board.

I'm probably going to go with (theoretically for this case) a GRE card. I would go XT and XTX but those will probably cook everything in the case.

@not_benis

General desktop, and KVM cluster so things like virtualization. The virtual machines run postgres, redis, ffmpeg (alot), and nginx.

@not_benis At that point I probably should just get Ampere ARM servers cause they probably are going to cost the same, and take up less space.

@eric @not_benis

That cooler looks like it's going to thermal throttle your CPU.

@eric

You have constrants that you can't work outside of because of that form factor. That is one of the smallest coolers Noctua offers and you have a processor according to intel uses 125W tdp. Noctua's recommendation is go no higher than 65W. https://noctua.at/en/nh_l9i_tdp_guidelines

There's a 10 core i5-14400F that would probably be a better fit. Unless you are going to under clock or delid that 14 core.

@not_benis

@eric @not_benis

I don't know ANYTHING about modern consumer end computers dude.

@not_benis You know it'd be a lot easier to just get a 2990w. :angrylaugh:
