Dual CPU?

[MrWarren]

I was looking at the CPU's in PC Part Picker and thought, a fair number of workstations or servers use dual-CPUs and because I'm left looking at others since i can't find a compatible motherboard for an AMD Opteron 6378 a 16core CPU. I Looked at the AMD FX-9590, that thing looks like it's ready to start a fire.

 

What if two AMD FX-9590's were thrown into a dual-cpu setup, typically for workstations or server loads. would this become a volcano? probably the next ice age with all that nifty liquid cooling everyone's doing.

 

CPU in question:
AMD Opteron 16 core

AMD Opteron 12 core

AMD FX-9590 8 core

 

So would 2 AMD FX-9590's be stable in a dual-CPU setup, If so how would you cool them?

umm

no worky?

500 watts for the cpus alone and theres no way an 8 pin can do that

also, cooling?

for that, youre fucking kidding

480mm radiator minimum

You can not use 2 9590s in the same system.

To get an opteron board go on ebay.

So i was right, it looks like it'd start a fire

i dont think itd start a fire

i think it would just melt anything you put near it

heats too fast for a fire

[berserker]

uze a refrigeretor he he he

if they fit on a mb, i would give it a try (if i was linus and if i had all that merch for free )

[Darel321]

worst idea ever......

Two 9590s would not boot in a dual-socket motherboard, so the problem of cooling them would not arise.

i know that, im saying if it was able to

And it wouldn't be able to do that anyway, as the CPUs can only output as much heat energy as you put into them. Unless AMD has accidentally figured out how to break the law of conservation of energy and mass, in which case they should go into building power stations and become the richest company in the world.

Give it time! I'm sure they're half way there already lmfao

 

Late edit/add in;

So I'm a bit curious now as to whether the AMD 12core's are Ok as far as work stations go. The motherboards seem built for what seems like servers.

Could the CPU's manage recording and gameplay?

 

For the price range they're far cheaper than any higher end i7, I'm just interested in finding out if 2x 12core AMD cpu's can dominate over an Intel i7/Xeon. Just asking for the sake of learning.

 

 

$621 each for AMD 6344 2,6GHz 12 cores

$815 each for Intel i7-5930k 3.5GHz 6 cores 

$1603 each for Intel i7-5960X 3.0Ghz 8 cores

And ofcourse

$3140 each for Intel Xeon E5-2687W V3 3.1GHz 10cores

**Note, i typed out the "total" price, and also have 13% tax enabled, so prices will be higher than the shown Base.
