Threadripper is not an option because there is not any 2 threadripper motherboard

Yes, we need another one of these builds!

Seems cool but expensive as hell... You could probably pay someones college debt with the money all of this cost 

 

 

 

 

yes I know most would probably be provided by the companies

Nice troll post... The memory you have chosen isn't even compatible! The Intel Xeon E7 8870 v3 is not Intel's best CPU. Why no NVMe SSD's?

[SCHISCHKA]

This is a dumb shit post.

USD$7k for 7 gamers just on the CPU; A CPU that runs at 2.1GHz and gives 2.6 cores per user.

For this price you could get 7X anything, even a Pentium per user, and it would be cheaper and have better performance.

This is why this is a dumb-shit-post.

threadripper, would be better!!

No it wouldn't! This PC needs something more EPYC!

Just now, valdyrgramr said:

What? It's TRUE!!!!!! Two 32-Core processors are more EPYC than one 16-Core processor.

[Megah3rtz]

Hold up let me take out a second mortgage. 

 

Joking aside, why x8 1080ti's, and why not Threadripper instead?

Why Threadripper? There are many more EPYC options out there!

[CrazyBrain]

But TWO CPU

[Coaxialgamer]

There is a reason linus didn't go all out with 980ti's on the OG build. No psu in the  world could power it. 

[CrazyBrain]

I think linus can use 1080 SLI for one monitor

[Sauron]

So you'd buy 2 EOL pure server class processors over a single 16 core threadripper? Why? Even intel has much better options, they could go for the 20 core xeons...

Also this, even though clock speeds may be a limit there.

Games don't perfrom perfectly with clockspeeds around 3.0 GHz but the speed is adequate and the experience is tolerable. Going to Threadripper would actually be a downgrade. The old 7 gamers 1 computer had two 14-Core Intel Xeon E5-2697v3's. This dual Xeon setup performs about 25% better than the best Threadripper processor available in multi-core performance..

Yes but... it costs 4 times as much... and multi core performance doesn't translate too well in games. Also, again, these cpus are both EOL and E7 series cpus are simply not meant to be used for consumer workloads, you get better value with the E5 series. Furthermore threadripper can be overclocked, whereas this cannot. The 2697v3s should perform better than this too given the higher core count.

Who cares about cost? It's not like anybody other than Linus will build this PC. Multi-Core performance is usually not helpful in games but when multiple instances games are running at the same time multi-core performance is critical.

A dual-EPYC machine would be able to support 15.

Or... Maybe 16? Do any of EPYC's lanes go to the chipset?

[paddy-stone]

For gaming, stand alone systems would work out cheaper than this, and be better IMO.

 

It's not a real idea, I know that... but still wouldn't make sense, even in a dream build.

 

The ONLY thing this build or similar ones would have over single system, is saving space for a LAN party. Takes up way less space than single systems. But I feel like a Ryzen 7 or the newer coffee lake i7s in many 2 gamers 1 CPU type would be better and cheaper.

 

[edit] ahh damn, forgot about the PCI-e lane limit in AM4 boards... might not be able to do that with that then, unless running 8+8 is an option on the x370 boards?

I am currently running two GPUs in x8/x8.

It would be pretty silly if they didn't let people do dual-GPU on a high-end platform~

[TheCherryKing]

How about 16 gamers two CPU's?

What I meant is with the pci-e lane limit, you wouldn't have many lanes left for NVME or other devices.
