New Crunching Server - Gigabyte X99P-Sli w/ E-2690-V3 12 core / 24 thread
Ok, I have tried to get started Crunching for a long time now, but i have to admit it was just my follow thru that sucked.
But in my above post i decided to start with my server i am building, I just got the guts of the system up and running and i am now going to play and see how the chip likes the board....

once i am done playing and get it into a case then I will need help to find the right project and use for the 12/24
So if you can point me in the right direction that would be cool.
Finally I will have some Pie!
Here is the first CPUz for the rig,.,,

a few big questions - Which is the better for crunching.
I also have a few big questions as I focus on the core build and getting it into a case....
I want a very solid foundation for this chip and i want to maximise my
1, I know the haswell-e's and the x99 chipset and cpu support some extra lanes and quad channel memory support.
I have another set of corsair 4x4g Corsair 2800C16 ------ 4096 MB (DDR4-2137) - XMP 2.0 - P/N: CMD16GX4M4A2800C16

I would also like to do a raid and somehow use Thunderbolt 3, if that is the most effective solution..
So its...
#1 Ram Solution, add second set of 4x4g ram or upgrade to 4x8 stix and only populate one full quad channel of ram.
#2 Which is the better gpu for crunching.
- GTX960 G1 Gaming 4G very nice card. I always liked it even though it was only so good,,,
or
XFX 295X2 8G Hydro
#3 Storage management. ways to use Thunderbolt 3, i want to build a server,
I will be putting the OS on a Intel Optane or a ssd, or both, this is all new tech to me... Plus i need a long term solution for storage.
I also have 5 - 256G SSD's that i want to put into a raid array for speed, For a few specific programs or even swap file.
I just want to get every once of speed out of this system, leaving no trench behind.
I will be using win 10 pro 64... unless someone can change my mind.....
Not only is this a Server Cruncher, but it's me learning more about server tech then overclocking tech.
Thanks:hump:
