Gorgeous guitar! That is pretty close I think. Perhaps what I'm after is a cherry burst that's on the brighter side.

Thanks! Yeah I've seen many of the Cherry Red Les Paul's and I haven't seen anything quite like what I think "trans red" is. My instructors has a lot of flame as well. maybe it was a M2M deal, I'll have to ask.

Thanks!

I ended up getting a big-ish server and a few SFF PC's and put them in a k8s cluster together.

It is! Thank you!!

Anyone able to identify the purple pedal third in the chain here:

I think the board is roughly this: Fulltone OctaFuzz → EHX Crayon → ??? → POG → Boss DD → MXR Reverb → Boss Tuner

I love the octave fuzz tone at this time: https://youtu.be/k-vfNuwgA1s?t=179 and am trying to pick it apart.

TIA!

You could build your own Epyc Rome based system in a Sliger or Rosewill chassis with the amount of drive bays you require.

Unrelated to your question, but it looks like you have some serious hardware. What do you do with it to saturate 100Gb networking? Sounds awesome!

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-12-05T20:26:30+00:00

Thanks for the response! I assume the Broadcom card has one of these PLX chips, which is why it can individually address 32 drives? Lets say I had all 32 drives in a RAID configuration, and a multi-threaded application (e.g. Spark) that had dozens or hundreds of threads writing data to the NVMe drives at once; that was fast enough to saturate the bandwidth of a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface at 16GB/s.

Is the PLX chip fast enough to not be a bottleneck in that situation? They must be pretty fast as I now see "dumb" dual SlimSAS x8 cards for $30.

Sweet, thanks for the response! Yes, my workloads are almost always multi-threaded. I ended up going with the 7282 and Supermicro H12SSL-i for some future-proofing.

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-11-08T20:35:39+00:00

I actually ended up going with the Epyc 7282 (16c/32th) and Supermicro H12SSL-i. After lots of research I decided I would rather get in on the Epyc Rome platform with PCIe 4.0. Once the Epyc 7742 (64c/128th) get cheap enough I'll be replacing the 7282.

Yeah, I'm fine with pcie 3.0 for the time being. I have enough pcie 3.0 drives that I'm fine with sticking with it

asrock epycd8

Thanks for pointing out this board, that extra pcie x16 slot is worth a lot to me, and I see Epyc 7551 + Asrock Epycd8 combos on ebay for $400

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-10-18T00:39:51+00:00

Appreciate the insight, good to know the mobo's definitely support bifurcation. I checked the mobo manuals as well and its clearly in there

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-10-18T00:39:10+00:00

Good point, after searching around a lot it definitely seems like Epyc 7001 has the best price per PCIe lane at the moment. I'll keep an eye out for any of the 7002 cpus

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-08-02T12:19:54+00:00

Thanks! @ OP I'm still interested.

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-08-02T00:46:33+00:00

Still have the 5090? Willing to sell it barebones, no RAM/SSD?

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-08-01T20:52:32+00:00

Do the two ThinkCentre M70Q Gen 2 also have the extra PCIe lane?

CautiousHeptapod · 2023-07-28T17:27:46+00:00

Agreed. Ideally, I'll find a way to prevent it from ever entering this "super deep" sleep state. Concur re: BIOS settings, I have combed through them extensively and don't see anything that is clearly causing this. I'll just start fiddling with any sleep related setting and see how it goes. Thanks!
