Title: Pie in the Sky
Post by: MADe on May 18, 2016, 04:52:29 PM
OK

Heres the question,
DIY home build, no $ limit, a rig that can do any task>game>vid or audio edit> server. I would go Intel, Gigabyte, Kingston, OCZ for manufacturer choices.

What would you put together? Your rig if you could just have everything you desire.

I guess I should have specified practical, do-able at a laymans level.

Please real responses. I'm thinking about a new build and might as well aim high and settle...................

NO Ally's mine.

I like Intel, MSI mainboard, Corsair for ram and ssd, nvidia and whatever is best at the time for sound.

Brands I favor (desktop and server are very different);

Intel (server/desktop), Noctua (server/desktop), ASUS Motherboards (desktop), Fractal Design case (desktop), Supermicro Case/Power Supply/Motherboard (server), Seasonic (server/desktop), Seagate HD's (server/desktop), GSkill RAM (desktop), and Kingston RAM (server).

ASUS dual socket WS MB. MAXIMUM memory off of the ASUS QVL list, Intel CPU (Xeon E7-8893), Green GPUs, Seasonic PSU, X7 (although Nvidia audio is really coming up in the world), full line level audio including mixer (prefer Yamaha) and tuner (also Yamaha), dual 8TB HGST He SAS HDDs, dual Samsung 850 Pro 2TB SSDs, Corsair Obsidian Case (note the SSDs have a mount built in BEHIND the MB), 100 GB BluRay DVD burner (plus RW BluRay DVDs), Samsung display(s), LSI SAS Controller card, external SAS bay w/ Seasonic PSU.

BTW, if you are actually insane enough to build this then I suggest you call Puget Systems in Auburn WA. Puget Systems will custom build the system to your specs and they will issue lifetime free labor on upgrades and warranty work.

It will cost you though.

Something similar to the "Pie-in-the-Sky" system.

If price is no issue, this one should perform pretty well. The hype is in Finnish, but the parts list should tell quite a lot.

36 slow cores?  That may be good for video editing and such but will be a lot of wasted CPU for things that are looking for the fastest single thread performance to run well.   ;)

Copy Challenges, maybe add in some m.2 drives, but maybe not, multiple 850 pros in Raid 0 might be fun too.


Puget Systems - a friend of mine that worked for Microsoft has a busy youtube tech/gaming channel and lives in WA, and swears by Puget as well.  He's made a pretty decent video of their operation, and of them building some pretty sick high end systems, so +1 on that company here too.

I wish a company would make a spindle/carousel Blu Ray player.  Remember back when you could buy 5 to 10 DVD spinner loaded players?  Why oh why you can only buy single Blu Ray disc players is beyond me.  When you have a TV series like Game of Thrones or whatever with umpteen episodes, it'd be great to have the entire season loaded for your weekend binge fests, instead of having to swap discs 5 times.  Picky I know, but I do miss the multi disc players.

I know what you mean about ease of access.

I would build this myself, no Puget for moi. Prolly not quite as monster as latest ideas. I believe in clock speed over cores as well. No less than 4.0GHz cpu, 5GHz would be better.

Software core allocation just does not seem to be there, so I see no need to worry about 16 or 32 cores. I wonder about the networking side, what could I do to enhance my connect. TWC is terrible. Would dual onboard lan help, I know they can be ganged?

The memory bus contention, with that many cores trying to access RAM, would also contribute to slowing it down if you managed to have all the cores working, especially at that low of a clock rate.  I am not even sure it would be that good for video editing as the speed of the data requests would swamp a single memory bus.

I'll have to run some numbers to see where the threshold of pain might lie.

the 1080 is faster and cheaper than the titan X, it just released.

Newegg has the new INTEL Broadwell-E, 10 core cpu, 3.0 GHz, LGA 2011-v3,  a mere $1750+.
I wonder if it will OC.................

Broadwell-E, 6 core, 3.6GHZ, $650+/-
"                          " 3.4GHz, $450+

Low end one, OC up to 4.0+, might be worth the $450.

got a new egg blast. The "Enhanced Rapid Mode" wonder if this marketing hype. SSD's already fast, I no understand how a ram cache would make things faster and for exactly what.
