Kaltar Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment
uldise Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 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.. Quote Link to comment
Kaltar Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Yeah well maybe I wasn't clear enough I'm actually looking for a socket G 34 (opteron 6380) motherboard Quote Link to comment
