Hi Wirk
I use ERDAS software to process large satellite imagery. Individual files go in too the Gbs of size, when manipulating them the RAM requirement can go through 10's of Gb so I'm looking to start with 4 32Gb Samsung RAM chips, later upgrading to 8. Maybe 16...

The ERDAS software supports DP rigs and utilises them well apparently
M.2 OS and programs SSD
PCIe SSD storage, Intel 750, would love the new Samsung enterprise ones for its built in RAID ability and speed, is basically two 800Gb SSDs side by side
Couple of Tb hard disks for non operational work, all data being worked on gets moved to the PCIe SSD for processing

Nvidea Quadra 5000 card, only one screen, will be a 34" ultra wide,.
A GPU will be considered but at a later date, Tesla, not pHi
Not completely sure on the processors yet, need to confirm cores-threads-speed
Build price around 10k

I would be interested in hearing peoples views as to which PCIe slot you'd use for the following:

QUADRA 5000
Nvidea Tesla
Intel 750 SSD-PCIe

Slots 2, 4, 5, & 6 are x16
only the Quadra and Tesla, both dual width need x16, the Intel 750 works at x8 rate.

I'm thinking:

Slot 1 - Intel PCIe 750

Slot 2 - Quadra 5000

Slot 3 - N/A due to Quadra

Slot 4 - Keep for 2nd Quadra if necessary

Slot 5 - N/A due to 2nd Quadra

Slot 6 - Nvidea Tesla

Is important to utilise both CPU's as effectively as possible and i think this would be the best way?
or does it make absolutly no difference one way or the other?....



hard to read sorry, but slot order in above image is:

Slot 2 Slot 1
Slot 3 Slot 5
Slot 4 Slot 6

Caselabs SMA8 has an 8 slot capacity so slot 6 can accept a dual width card

So this is the basic layout of the SMA8 case and water cooling.

I'll be using a Monsoon reservoir and hardlock fittings.

I'd like to get a water cooler for the Chipset and Mossfets, but to date they are not available? The Quadra Card will be cooled from an AOI system installed in the top of the case, not shown in the diagram



1 - temperature probe
2 - light source
3 - bulk head fitting

I have ASUS Z10PE-D16 with double E5-2690 v3 Xeons and 16 x 8GB Samsung DDR4 2133 Memory.
The thing is - memory is not being recognized as 2133, system sees it as 1866.
I've checked BIOS settings and found only "Maximum memory frequency". Changing it to 2133 doesn't have any effect - memory is still being recognized as 1866
Any ideas how to fix it?

Hi All

Just got mine the other day. had to mod my 750D to get it to fit but its all in and working like a charm.

I do have one issue though and I don't know if its just me.

At the moment I am using the built in graphics. there is a jumper that disables the onboard but when I boot I get no output from my graphics card. for the moment I am using a GTX210. PCI-E slot 1 doesn't even detect it. but 2 does but on boot I get no BIOS output.

Can anyone help?

Thanks, Usman

Hi,
I just acquired Asus Z10PE-D16 WS and other components to build a new system. They are on the way to me. I am wondering if the onboard M.2 slot supports NVME drives? If it does, has anyone tried to boot from an NVME drive installed in the M.2 socket on the board? Has anyone tried to boot from an NVME drive installed in a PCIE adapter installed in a PCIE slot on the board?

Thanks.

I have an NVMe Samsung MZVPV256 M.2 disk attached to my M.2 port and installed Windows on it without any issues.

So as long as you fine a compatible version it should be fine.

Previous generation was quite popular, but maybe that was later in life.

Using a 950 Pro NVME in the M.2 slot. Works fine with three notes:
- W7 doesnt come with NVME drivers so youll need them on disk/stick for its install
- The NVME drive does not activate the HDD light (silly oversight)
- BIOS has an NVME info section but doesn't populate with any data for me

EDIT:: Simultaneous response

I assume retro means a new enough version of windows to natively understand NVME.

I just got my animation rig up and running on this MB with dual e5-2640 v4's (w/ BLCK currently at 103 for 2.7Ghz). I'm currently working on getting Win7 installed onto a Samsung 950 Pro 512GB m.2 drive. Windows 7 installed on a temporary HDD see's the drive just fine after installing the drivers and using Disk Management to allocate the drive space and formatting it. I hope to hear back from Asus on the best method to make this the boot drive. The Samsung Disk Migration software should be able to move everything off the HDD onto the M.2 drive, but I'm extra cautious because I don't see the m.2 drive in the NVME section of the Bios as ScratchyBollix pointed out.

And I'm also researching the settings to get the Max Turbo Frequency to get to 3.5 Ghz when rendering. Probably a BIOS setting somewhere, but the CPU's currently stay at 2.7Ghz for 30 minute frame renders using 100% CPU. Anyone can chime in if they have recommended settings for these CPUs.

I'll post some pics of the full configured system once I have it "completed".

I also have built a ze10 d16 ws rig also.. There was no thread so I mainly posted in
the Thermaltake X9 case forum. Seems to be two kinds overclock.net users 1) Show ponies
(Look how Fast it looks), 2) Folks who just want play with bench marks..

I am neither I just want to build the best damn rig I can, with the budget available.

Dual boot Linux or Windows, and lots VMs

2nd Side Shot
1st Side shot
Close details, radiator blocks
Better details, cpu radiators
X9 Case, Z10-Pe D16 WS, cpus, radiators installed

That's a nice case (and looks bigger than I thought). It seems there are more options nowadays for full figure computer cases with horizontal configuration. I certainly prefer that and mine is also horizontal (MM U2-UFO). Wish you could come up with more clear pictures showing your rig. Good luck.

hi! I have just bought one of this fantastic motherboards
smile.gif
but I cannot make the m.2 slot works at x4 speed with the Samsung 950 Pro 512gb
frown.gif
I installed the nvme drivers from samsung's site and it´s still not working at x4, the read speed is about 860 only

Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Thanks, stevef9432203.

The Thermaltake case looks just as good as the Caselabs Mercury S5 albeit being much less expensive. I know it's not made of aluminum like the Caselabs's cases but, I don't think the twice the price is justified. The design and look is just as good.

To nullReal: are the bios/firmware and the Intel RST driver in your system most up to date? I am still waiting for the last part of the new build to arrive (I am waiting for the ram). Then I can confirm with you what speeds I get from my nvme drive (256GB, Samsung Pro 950).
