George, I’ll think he still has the necessary memory to use this board, maybe Tom can confirm that. He also already has the CPU. 

Sold the memory.

Looking at CPU dominated processing. I do need a home for couple of gtx 1080's though.

I was trying to compare it with setting up a 5950x for CPU dominated processing.

I have memory for an am4 socket motherboard. I have a CPU cooler.. I have 2 unused am4 socket motherboards (one flaky, one not).

I already have another 850 EVGA PSU on order.

To run a 5950x full bore I would need a high end CPU cooler and probably another x550/x570 motherboard.

It would help if I could find a couple of EPYC cpu bottom feeder buyers who were not newbies.

Those poor things, I'll give them a good home :-)

If this page takes an hour to load, reduce posts per page to 20 in your settings, then the tinpot 486 Einstein uses can handle it.

Oops. Thank you for the offer. But I don't wanna give them up. They are my baby's.

How did your baby afford them?  :-)

Ah, so when you said you needed a home, you meant in another of your own machines.

Here is a question. X570

Here is a question.

X570 vs b450 CPU processing in BOINC.

How much difference does the motherboards internal bus make when we are talking CPU dominated processing?

I'll stick my neck out so those that actually know something can chop my head off.

I don't think that there will be much difference between the MBs because Einstein does not use many actual PCIe lanes for CPU processing.

Go ahead... chop away!!

Here is an interesting CPU+mb

Here is an interesting CPU+mb combo. With 6 GPU slots. Yes it is used. But since CPU is both already installed and bigger/faster than mine it may not be an issue.

Nah, you might be subject to a banana bazooka attack which could plug up a tail pipe.

But no George chopping is allowed.

Is a George a gentleman's

Is a George a gentleman's excuse me?

6 slots isn't that amazing, mine has 6, but they're shorter than those.

I used the classic potato up my headmaster's tailpipe when I were a lad.  He never found out who did it.  I believe it damaged the engine.

Peter,

In the GPU user group we tease each other about using a banazooka when one is approaching another's RAC/tail pipe.

So it presumed we can aim too. Did you shoot the potato up that tail pipe?
