Looking for some help with people more familiar with the server side of hardware. Trying to find just a simple mother board for 2 Xeons (cant recall which model they were 10 core 20 thread each with avx2) They are socket 2011 v3 i believe. Does anyone know of a motherboard that has these sockets? The chips are not ES.
100% depends on what you plan on doing with it....
Do you need a bunch of PCIe slots? Do you need a bunch of memories slots? Do you need IPMI? Do You need narrow socket? Do you need a certain form factor?
Not really after PCI-e for this build, just some encoding on the box. Literally only that where it can also heat dump in a different room. I should mention form factor does matter much but if it i can fit it into a normal run of hte mill desktop case that would be nice, but its not a deal breaker.
Edit: at most just 32 gigs ram. Does not even have to be ECC. Not sure what IPMI is or narrow factor
HEVC aka H.265. For 4k it may break past the 16 gig and need 32 for the system but this is using some pretty slow presets with about 4 instances going, only on that machine. Rest would be split up on a few lower powered box's.
Then you'd be better off with different software, if you note that software until the latest release had issues with 32 logical cores (the system you're trying to build has 40)
Have you tried handbrake? With GPU support you're likely to get significantly faster encodes
For dual CPU you'll have to run ECC sticks. Either the Asus or Supermicro boards are all good. I like asrock desktop but never used their workstation boards.
If you don't need anything fancy that supermicro ATX board for 300 is a good one. 16 and 32 gig sticks are cheap as dirt so you don't need many slots these days.
Its run one CPU for a while, once another one goes out of commission then it would be a dual boi.
