You haven't answered this, not that I'd expect you to !
Am interested to know how much it weighs though ?
Would need to weigh up (pun intended) whether I could pick up and move something that size before I started
Punisher water cooling.

Less than 10 hex core i7's but much more than I wanted when the project started

those E7-8890 v3 are 6k each !!
gpus generally do different projects then cpus

True in some applications, and you still find HPC code older than my grandpa around, which is probably at least half the problem. But it would be interesting to see if BaBa's monster ranch can be matched via a cheaper, off-the-shelf route.

You could put one together (without the case) for around £4K, I'd guess memory is the killer unless it takes normal DDR3, supermicro says use DDR3 ECC LRDIMM in the cheapest board, but LRDIMM isn't cheap from what I can see. Although he has only populated two slots per bank.
Maybe you can use regular ECC DDR3 in which case they could be quite cost effective with 16 2GB DIMMS

You could match it using E5-2670's(current price performance king)
However you would need 10 single or 5 dual rigs ,the price would be about the same and more difficult to manage/store etc.
Running costs would also be higher.
4 slots per cpu populated 8gb dimms (would have liked 16gb but that was price prohibitive).

Regular 1.35v DDR3 ECC DIMMS.
Think you need LR-DIMMS for the higher capacities.
Probably why I am not quite seeing the performance I expected in Cinebench, getting 5890 ish.
Have seen 6500+ for similar setups but it could also be OS related.

V2 chips only support DDR3 as far as I am aware, the DDR4 board is V3 only the DDR3 board is V2 and V3 dependent on board revision.
Will post some more shots when the gpu is in and working.
Got the temps down below 65 with a front bay fan and finally found the dodgy ram stick(for some reason the bios shows different config to the motherboard markings:/)

OK so finished making the gpu power adaptors today
Moved the PUNISHER up stairs to its new home was just down powering the other rig to rob its titan when I noticed drips of water on the floor.
Surely they didn't come from the rig that's been running without a hitch in the lounge for days
I thinks its me being punished ,no time tonight to chase the leak.
Case open in the warm computer room another job for the weekend
