Motherboard SLI

[JurgenJanssens]

Hello

i’m new here but a big fan of the youtube clips.

 

since a few years a have a question where i can’t find a answer of.

Is it possible to put two motherboards or more in sli in one case. 

Is was planning to use this in my eveningschoolproject to create a network in one pc.

if Linus does not know how to then i schould find another project.

 

many thanks and greetings from Belgium

That is imposible! Just buy a dual socket server its cheap if u buy used server parts

Hello

yes true and i have a six core processor ( 6800k)!

nothing is impossible in pc world.

i was going to buy 2 celeron cpuboards to combine them but i don’t know how!

herefor my question.

thank you for your answer

You can have clusters of multiple systems over the network, but it won't just make anything faster, your program has to be setup to use it. 

 

You can also get a dual socket board, but it won't work with your celerons, you need xeons or server cpu's.

Hello

 

Yes i know this : https://www.asus.com/be-nl/Motherboards/Z10PED16_WS/

 

but i want to do it myself since nobody else did it( for i know).

the project is low buget so to buy server equipment won’t do.

thank you for the reply and good evening further.

You can buy used server systems, there cheap.

 

What is your goal, dual socket can be slower due to latencies.

 

But if you want a cheap dual socket board. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-X8DTi-Rev-2-01-Dual-Xeon-Socket-LGA1366-E-ATX-Motherboard/283133274165?hash=item41ec0ee835:g:hLcAAOSwPFFbiXDQ

 

Tons of people have server clusters, but you have to have a use for it.

[JurgenJanssens]

Yes that is right.

 

i just need it for my project and further i have no use of this.

thank you for the tip on ebay. I will look it over.

i saw a article about pieces of serverboards clicking together as one. That is why i want it to do with normal boards so i cant use them for other things like gaming or rendering.

what project? Dual socket really isn't faster a lot of the time. 

 

Server boards aren't any special, you can still game on them and use them normally. Slightly different features, but they will run the same code.

I want to make one motherboard with two motherboards in sli or just to work as one. Let’s say making my one eightcore machine. 

This is my project for evening school.

you can't just combine 2 normal motherboards for this. You would have clustering, and that won't increase core count. 

[JurgenJanssens]

I just want to know if or how it is possible to combine 2motherboards in a system

No, you can't just combine then.

 

You can have clusters of the network, but its 2 or more systems working on the same project, not one faster system.

[JurgenJanssens]

Also with 2 the same motherboards?

With limited exception in the very high end server market, they won't work together at all. 

[JurgenJanssens]

Thank you for this answer. I will search for another sollution

what is your goal? What program do you want to run faster?

[JurgenJanssens]

None.

 

just showing that it is possible the use 2 motherboards as one unit

I hope this guy grows up to become an engineer and invents scalable mobos like you could get a base board that has both a male set of pins on one end and a female slot in the other so other boards with different components can be added
