Scammed on ebay... Testing the 56 CORE system!

Buy Intel Xeon processors on Amazon: http://geni.us/9deQri

[Oberon.Smite]

Finally, a good old LTT video.

Sunday.

I'm currently living in Madagascar - getting notifications for videos during lunchtime is very weird....

 

Also - I like the video (so far). 

[whoisit1118]

This video looks super grainy for me. Is it my problem?

 

[kirashi]

PayPal buyer protection is 180 days in Canada... so um, unless you bought the CPUs more than 6 months ago, I believe you can still return them / file a chargeback.

[8uhbbhu8]

Wait.... Didn't we already see this?  Retoast?!! lol

 

 

Ah well. As far as i'm concerned it's a new video to watch  

[BachChain]

The motherboard simply couldn't handle that zero thousands percent awesome.

It was clear enough for me. The TV screen wasn't super readable on my phone (which is why I wish he'd actually read the turbo boost speed instead of saying "not bad"), but that's just because recording monitors is never crisp.

FP vs YT?  

[Narnash]

I really liked the video. Nice that the seller except the return (I wonder if they just did that because the buyer was LTT and they didn't wanted the bad publicity)

Nooo I remember this from like a week ago on FP.....

Sorry guys, 56 core systems do turn me on . Lots of questions:

What is this 56 core beast for? Is there going to be another video on it?

How loud are the cpu coolers, what do you think of them? Can you try to compare them to more common consumer air coolers?

 

Thanks, loved this video.

[Thermosman]

Use dual epyc 7601s instead. 64 cores > 56 cores

1. RTFM - it will include a QVL of memory compatible with the board, but if it's not there the support website has a memory AVL PDF. How is it in your crazy search for a square ILM heatsink you couldn't source compatible DIMMs?

2. Did you not bother to cross check the processor model  number with ARK or at minimum confirm with a reputable supplier? There is no Platinum 813X SKU in existence (or listed and later recalled like the 6144), which should have been the first RED FLAG to avoid making any purchase.

3. A 28-core Xeon priced at $1300 should have been the second RED FLAG, especially if you already knew the price of the 8180 and 8176. There's a reason for the term you get what you pay for and if it looks too good to be true it probably is.

4. Supermicro have had servers and workstations with these out for several months now. Tyan has them too. Laugh all you want at folks who surf their website, but time spend reading and researching is what gets you the knowledge to not spend money like a fool.

5. Get in bed with a local solutions provider if you cannot get sponsorship from Intel or Supermicro. Their sales people WILL KNOW long before you do about what manufacturers have coming down the pipeline, any particular product recalls and verify parts as well.

Hi Guys! 
Im new here

Here is what got Russian Overclockers.

They also have the AF problem, but with specific Motherboard from Super Micro Compoters  X11DPi-N and special "custom" BIOS so it could work proparly.

So, look here what they got.

 

 

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

On Asus motherboards they have same AF problem, BIOS helped them only to pass It, but it still black monitor

If you actually watched the video you would have seen this in it.

 

Many OEM or QS/ES CPUs are out and not on ARK, because the average pleb can't actually get them.

>QS/ES processor. No guaranteed compatibly, might as well flog it.

 

Seller is probably Chinese, so who cares, not them, they made a few quid.

Linus is a huge ASUS fanboy and hates doing jobs properly. Haven't you learnt that by now?

The seller agreed to the return, but even if paypal has 180 days ebay clearly does not, which is where he was looking at in the video. I think ebay has 60 days or something.

Also the irony of updating to make things worst... ASUS in this video just proved how bad they themselves are... What likely happened was the Older (higher) version was unstable for some reason and they couldn't be bothered to fix it...

 

Tho in Linus's defense I too would be a ASUS FB if they kept throwing crappy hardware with high price tags at me too... Same with Seagate

 

 

Edit: In the Ebay sellers defense it's perfectly possible he's a reseller, basically buying old servers/parts and reselling them. With absolutely no tools to check/confirm the claims

[xeven77]

Doing a pretty similar build here: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/case-mods-worklog-gallery/77039-project-yuge.html

 

I'm using 8168's however, the all-core is 3.4Ghz whereas the 8180's go up to around 2.9Ghz (I believe??). Lower core count at 48/96, but decent as well.

Cinebench_R15 cursory test: 

 

 

There are more SKU's for the square ILM that you could have used actually, for example Supermicro SNK-P0068AP4 and Dynatron B13/B6. There are also cpu waterblocks sold on ebay (with the square retention plate). They cost about $200USD with an exorbitant $50USD shipping. Don't be fooled, these blocks are sold for around $30USD each in Taobao. 

 

I still don't have the P4500/P4600s or the GPUs so it's still sitting on a cardboard box on top of my desk. 

[Zukman]

Linus u did not get scammed.
1) What you have bought are CPU's for OEM channel, not Retail one, that's why there's no info on intel ARK.

2) One of the chips probably was engineering sample and not qualification sample.

3) Asus motherboard is for Retail CPU channel only, therefore it lacks microcode for one of your OEM channel CPU.

4) If u want to start your OEM CPU's use another board - Tyan(prefered)  http://www.tyan.com/Motherboards_S7103_S7103GM2NR-2F-L2

or Intel https://ark.intel.com/ru/products/124477/Intel-Server-Board-S2600STB

I thought buying a engineering sample CPU is illegal

[AnonymousGuy]

P-8136:

 

Skylake-SP 28C P-8136 2.0G 39M 165W

 

Supposedly meant for Google so wonder if some of them went missing and ebay is "off the truck".

 

And bro, for fuck's sake you need something like 240 lbs of mounting pressure on the socket.  You aren't going to be able to do that by hand.  It's in the socket specs.

[Canada EH]

Actually scammed would be if Linus did not get his money back. HOWEVER Linus did get his money back, so he wasnt scammed at all, its just the seller only had the cpu's and not the mobo, nor the cooling or ram to test it out. Which was stated to him clearly and Mr. Linus understood what that meant.

 

No

Linus was not scammed

 

The only people being scammed are the people who clicked to watch the drama unfold, yet by the end of the video were scammed out of their precious valuable time. Just so a lying title could get more views, and get LMG more money.

Got scammed - was sold something that wasn't working.

 

Also, while the seller has agreed to return our money, they have gone dark now and are no longer replying to our messages (1 week now).

 

Chill.
