Single PC high volume boxing?
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2016 5:51 am
Hey,
New 1080 Ti's are being released soon so I'm looking at an upgrade along the lines of;
CPU: i7-6850K (6 cores, 3.6Ghz)
RAM: 64GB DDR4
GPU: GTX1080 Ti x2 (SLI, 24GB total GPU RAM)
HDD: SSD + SATA combo
Some closed loop water cooling kits on the GPU/CPU.
Ideally I'd like to be able to maximize the number of boxes I can run on a single machine (25+) so I can get rid of some of the clutter in my office. Has anybody has looked into some of the new Xeon's or dual CPU options? Here's an example from some YouTube guy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfscbJldcAI.
Also, since RAM is so cheap, was considering the possibility of increasing RAM to 128 and allocating the extra 64 gig as a RAMdisk.
Any other ideas? Got a little white before the Ti's release so I'd like to have the rest of the system planned.
Cheers!
