Extraordinary performance with dual Intel® Xeon® CPU overclocking
Dual Intel® Xeon® CPU overclocking, pushes the power processing power beyond the extreme
ASUS WS C621E SAGE breaks performance barriers, giving you the capability to overclock dual Xeon® CPUs. With its unique BIOS mechanism dedicated to boosting CPU performance, WS C621E SAGE can deliver incredible system speed.
Today you can buy a single 8 core Xeon Skylake-X with HT for $260 on ebay. Which would equal 32 overclocked threads for $520 + the price of this board(~$1000)

Yeah, what's scary is that they've been out for well over a year. I think three systems using Skylake-SP made it onto the TOP500 list an entire year before it was officially launched.
I imagine most of the cheapo chips are engineering samples. I'm not sure how much I would trust one of those on a very new platform. Intel totally redesigned the cache, plus it's a new architecture over Broadwell and that tends to have some fun problems to sort out.
I wonder how it can overclock with locked xeon multipliers? And to what extent? Can it do 5ghz 56 cores on a dual xeon platinum? Awesome if that is the case, bringing back the days of skulltrail platform for those who want overkill builds.

How about, if you're an American, you'll need to use two breakers or a 220V outlet, because a standard 15A breaker would trip as soon as you fired up any remotely demanding software.
Cooling the beast would also be a challenge, though the die and IHS are large enough that they might not be quite as hard as LCC or HCC Skylake-X. They probably would be but there's a sliver of hope.
Won't that depends on how well you can actually overclock a xeon? Since they are mostly locked, we have no idea how much you can actually push them on this system.

But that 16 core can be pushed decently beyond 4ghz. So any program scaling with single core performance, will mostly run better on the single CPU solution.
Sadly no, because every board Epyc fits in has the bios locked down for server board stuff.
Sad because a 12 core Epyc costs the same as the top 8 core TR. If you could OC the Epyc then it would be selling like crazy.
Thats another reason AMD rearranged the pin layout of their socket to make TR and Epyc incompatible between boards.

Someone on HWbot already did something like this with a supermicro board. 2x8176M processors at 3800mhz ( 2 waterblocks for the cpus and watercooled ram )
2x10000 USD + 5000 USD for 2 cpus + motherboard ( not including the ram / power supply / and his own custom waterblocks )
This ASUS board is going to have way better vrms than that supermicro board so it should overclock higher?

BCLK is unlinked on Skylake, Kabylake, Coffeelake, Kabylake-X, Skylake-X. There's a person running 27x multiplier on a 5400mhz 7700K ( supposedly smoother than 54x100mhz ).

Yes with the multiplier locked, and the Turbo frequencies for the 8176M are 3.8 GHz, which was also the overclock frequencies of the earlier mentioned xeon OC. The marketing of this board seems to suggest incorporation of MCE into WS boards...
