In the meantime you can do a bit of saving so you can afford to run the beast when you put it together.

This is going to be a great build, can wait to see the Cinebench results. I'd like to see how much more powerful these are than the 2687s from the Z9-PE review.
If you get 32GB registered memory sticks you can get 256GB or RAM in it.

I have been lusting after those 12 core Xeons ever since first hearing about them, but they're
a tad expensive for a college student (plus, it's not exactly like I can complain).

So yeah, looking forward to this.

I'm in the same boat, I want some 10 core 2660v2 Xeons but they're at least $1750 AUD, I'm hoping they'll be a more reasonable $1300 AUD in 6 months or so like the 2660v1's were at the beginning of this year.

Alternatively, you could buy a house with that money. :lol:

Such is life with enterprise component prices. There's a reason it's a more desireable market
for many companies than the consumer sector.

Yeah, but I'm hopeful about a price drop next year, perhaps closer to haswell-E. I bought the 2650's for close to the USD price. The US RRP is $1393.00 for the Xeon 2660v2's, which is ok, but the AU price is $1750 which I can't do. But it's really just a matter of time before the price drops whether it be 6 months, 12 or 24, the price will get closer to my savings. Then I can sel them to you for an SR-X build or perhaps not after seeing Tom's review.
In regards to the RAM, I don't too much about the 32GB sticks, but you can get second hand 16Gb sticks on ebay for a decent price:

Nice to see your heating is fixed.

Could we expect a video on this at some point?

 

[hmmblah]

Wow, there is something wrong (or right?) with me. I saw the pic of the board and started drooling...no joke. Damn that thing is beautiful.

 

[MrKambo]

YYEEEEEEAHHHHHH BOOOOOYYY :wub:

[imersa]

28k........ :lol:


With the H75's running with barely spinning fans max temps are in the 60's

Fans on 100% the temps drop to 50's - not bad for 3x 4770's per CPU!

[Mageta Lion]

[Remmy]

This looks so sweet already I hope you're going to be making a video about this beast
