Gaming with a dual CPU server board?

[Doritojoe]

Alright so i am playing to do this build in the near short future for a FUTURE PROOF gaming rig (if there is such a thing) Of course this is 

 

IN TOTAL THE SYSTEM SPECS WOULD BE, 12 cores total of 5.0 Ghz, 16 GB of GDDR5 GPU Memory 512bit 4880 Mhz , 32GB DDR4 3200 MHz RAM.

 

And it would cost around $1590

12 cores total of 5.0 Ghz? What, that isnt how Ghz works bro.

How much do you want to spend and where do you live? I can build something way more practical for you.

umf... Nope bro, not how things work around here.

and also not this either:

EDIT: PLEASE go back to the drawboard and A LOT of youtube videos about how computers work and then build something else for the money. trust me, you can get MUCH MUCH BETTER than this for gaming.

You don't add the GHz like you add the CPU cores, also two 6 cores won't be as powerful as an actual 12 core CPU,you loose some processing power with the QPI/DMI links, also the RAM would be just 32GB of normal DDR4 64 bit, 2400 (since servers only currently support 2400, and you're not gonna be able to use XMP.

also that CPU only supports DDR3, and those CPU's are not compatible.... So you're either seriously misinformed or an inept troll. 

 

The more I read the more corrections I find need to be made, this is a train wreck

Yeah, but the difference is normally really small, and since 6 cores tend to have highers clocks than the 12 cores, they are normally faster in real world.

[manikyath]

this is such a bad idea i question its legitimacy.. you cant make it past a captcha if you're this knobheaded.

the difference is actually pretty big, while much better than say SLI or Crossfire, it's still only about 90%, if memory is needed on one CPU that's stored in another CPU's IMC, it has to send a request, and wait for it to send the data over the QPI path, that all takes time, same with sending data for processing, they have mass processing power but not so great on the processing on demand,

Get consumer grade parts for that money. And for the love of god, don't buy 4 rx 460s. First, you can't crossfire them so... Secondly, video memory doesn't stack that way. 4 rx460s won't have 16gb of Vram and automatically outperform a titan. Also, how did you come to the conclusion that two cpu's will stack frequency? Sure you'd get 12 physical cores, but they'd only run at the speed one would run at. For that money, get a 1600, gtx 1070 and whatever else you want. This is not a good idea for a gaming build in any way.

4 RX 460's you would be better of just getting one more powerful card.

if the CPU's worked with the board and memory, it'd be an okay GPU compute work station, as a gaming rig, I concur that it's terrible.

Lol didn't see that

Agree 100%

Just to inform everybody here in the thread that THIS thread also exists by him..

ah, I was right with inept troll, he has however made me laugh a few times, however it was at him so particularly inept. 

[Dackzy]

I think you need to do some research. There is so much wrong here, it isn't even funny.

plus there is no such thing as future proofing.
