depends on the CPU / RAM more than the bandwidth Particularly anything PCIe 1.0 is going to be too slow a platform

any motherboard relegated to PCIe 1.0 X4 is going to be too slow of a platform to run a GTX 980 without bottleneck. PCIe 2.0 X8 is the rule of thumb minimum for modern GPUs; most motherboards with PCIe interfaces slower than that will bottleneck your system in many places (CPU, Ram, storage etc...)

That only took 3 comments to trigger the salt I call that a success

If OP actually worked in enterprise they'd already know what software they needed and wouldn't be making this thread asking which skiddie tolls they have at their disposal I sense twelvie

maybe you should git gud and write your own payloads / frameworks /engage salt

you, unlike OP, probably took a networking 101 or prerequisite and actually understand how things work as opposed to someone dicking around with "L33T hacking tools"

another script kid joins the masses...

so basically a phase-change cooler.... K... think raijintek is a little late to the party on this one, although room temperature phase change systems are interesting

isopropyl evaporates within a matter of seconds; no need to wait a "long ass time"

OP should note that many of these components are last gen; its worth considering i7 68/9XX CPUs and an RX 480 in place of the 390 (faster and cheaper) RX 480 is due mid june so I'd say its worth the wait

seems like there's still innovation in the storage sector... good to know

I've done this many times, although admittedly I generally crash for 30-45min ever 10 hours while I patch a server or some shit. More like 4 hours of sleep in 80 hours. You generally become hyperaware after 20-30 hours, although I've never hallucinated or thought anything was going to kill me... Not fun but sometimes necessary (rarely thankfully) I fucking clue why you'd do this without necessity...

I remember when there was actual innovation in the extreme performance bracket... Compare an SR-2 platform to an equivalent extreme performance system from 2002/2003 and they are worlds apart. Compare a $1700 overclocked CPU to a 7 year old system and it still can't keep up... Take the E5645 for example, the chip I used to run in my system. Both chips overclocked to 4.0ghz are roughly around the performance of a stock 6950x. E5645s cost $551 each at launch, had an 80w tcp that scaled amazingly well despite overvolting due to their low box Vcore, and featured 6 cores / 12 threads. Lets do a little math here: E5645: 551 USD E5645: 551 USD EVGA SR-2: 599 USD + __________________ 1701 USD That means in 2010, you could have a system that performs as well a 6950x, with only a slighter higher TDP and a lower cost. 6950x doesn't even include a motherboard... insane this is why Zen needs to be good

only 12 cores actually

I have run the latest version of R15 and I score near 2200; 6950x scores 1800 / 2000 OC'd; pathetic for a rig 7 years older than mine check the cinebench R15 thread if you don't believe me (my score isn't there yet but an equivalent is; mine is a bit faster because of cache OC and tightened timing AFAIK): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sxzGshuqVtFe_2zgRhN3gXCraR7d8p-NazJ6z0nsGGc/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=0 My point is CPU maker used to release actually cool platforms like the Intel V8, AMD 4x4 Quadfather, Intel Skulltrail / QX9775, X6 1100T, FX 9590... the list goes on. You don't see that anymore...
