I was wondering if this motherboard: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Dell-YRJFP-PowerEdge-C6145-Server-Quad-Socket-G34-DDR3-AMD-Motherboard-/201392443209?hash=item2ee3eccf49:g:oRUAAOSwDNdVrl2k

 

Paired with 4 of these cpus: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Opteron-6276-2-3-GHz-Sixteen-Core-OS6276WKTGGGU-Processor-w-Grease-/221979430173?hash=item33af014d1d:g:y2YAAOSwf-VWYonj

 

Is possible.  I would install 64gb of ddr3 ram which is cheaper than you think.

 

I really want to know if this is possible, or if I need some other stuff.  Thanks!  :)

That's a lot of power. What are you using it for?

 
  • AMD Athlon X4 760K CPU   |   MSI FM2+ ATX A88X-G45 Motherboard   |   8GB 1600MHz RAM   |   MSI GTX 760 GPU (Reference)
  • Thermaltake Versa H22 Case   |   1TB Seagate, 0.5TB Hitachi (7200RPM)   |   ArcticRed+ 700WStock    |   Windows 8.1

G34 socket motherboard, and G34 socket CPU? Seems like they'll work together.

Cool, Idk what I would do with it to be honest.  Maybe run a couple of gaming servers.

You could probably run 4 simultaneously with all dem cores. :P

What kind of GPU would I need?

You don't need a GPU. The Integrated GPU takes care of everything. 

 

Not much the Opterons are capable of since they are pretty old.

Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.

Make sure you have a PSU that will fit. You can't use a standart ATX one.

Would this motherboard be a better option?

 

Otherwise with the motherboard mentioned above, if I get that dell power supply could I hook it up to 2 motherboards somehow?

 

Thanks!

That motherboard seems to be a better option since it has standard connectors and it has a PCIe-slot which you will probably need since those opterons dont have integrated graphics.
