Hej All,

 

I'm looking to upgrade my server and I have gotten my hands on an old Dell PowerEdge 815R with 4* AMD opteron 6380 CPU's and 512 GB of ram.

That rig is FAR too expencive to keep running 24/7.

 

I'm thinking about taking half the CPU's and half the ram, buy a new motherboard and build it into my existing 24 bay case.

 

But I'm not sure what motherboard to use.

Which motherboard would be perfect for a Vmware EXSI setup with unraid running as a WM ?

 

If it was cheap too it would be a sure bonus

if you can go with used stuff, then there are forum threads with successful built systems on dual E5-2670 v1 with Supermicro X9. Including me, see my sig for details for example. and yes, i'm still on ESXi with unRAID as VM..

Yeah well maybe I wasn't clear enough

 

I'm actually looking for a socket G 34 (opteron 6380) motherboard
