trying the near impossible... most powerful GOD BOX in a miniITX case

[notb]

it might be a auto overclocking feature related to either the cpu’s VRMs (as in, overclocking the VRM controller’s for cleaner power) or the GPU (yes, motherboard features like this do exist)

Well, we could think all day what it *might be*. But it seems OP was the first on the public web to ask about it. It's not even mentioned in the manual (at least not the English version).
So yeah... this looks like a test feature that shouldn't make it to the production BIOS. And what it does? Who knows?

Pretty sure that would be illegal if it was sending data to NK...

Of course. Just like backdoors in disks would be illegal. And in routers. And phones.
It's good nothing like that happens, ever.

Geez dude. Just doing some quick estimating, that machine has a value of $46000... going by a combination of MSRP's and current market. How far off am I ?

My guess was in that ballpark as well.

 

[robot zombie]

My guess was in that ballpark as well.

Gotta be... I mean those CPU's alone could run $20k or more for the pair, unless there's something I'm missing.. And then those Titans are, what? $3.5k a pop? And then you have the coolers, that SSD array, top-tier, high wattage PSU, fancy itx enclosure, all of that RAM. I just realized I didn't even factor in the mobo... it's pure madness. When I was doing the math I went conservative on the price of the RAM/SSD's. All of that stuff is gonna add up quick no matter how you look at it...

 

[venturi]

I'm not sure about the price either...

A lot of it was from my prior build, and then paid made the differences, then the prior before that, etc.
I scored the 8180M pair for a fraction of the cost as they are QS samples (not ES), and the Titan V CEo 32GB was given to me for free (but I did own 4 titan V's before that 32gb version was given to me. The case was the cheapest part, $77.90 from amazon - thermaltake P1 miniITX.

...and a jar of KY to fit all that in a miniITX case.

 

[Vario]

The Titan V CEO is a true collector's piece.

Nothing is ever free.

Must be nice to not have to pay for it in cash money though.

Respect for that build venturi. Nice work.

New Cinebench R20 score

is 18708 a good score?

happy to report that ray tracing is alive and well in Metro Exodus with my Titan Vs

 

[Mussels]

We've done it lads

We found the PC that can play crysis

 

[ArbitraryAffection]

I'm literally speechless. I just... I... yeah.

Wow.

We've done it lads

We found the PC that can play crysis

^ This.

New Cinebench R20 score

is 18708 a good score?

• is 18708 a good score
• is higher than the highest included result in cinebench r20

yes.

XD

Spendy CPU. And DAMN! I wonder if that's a world record?

 

[ArbitraryAffection]

Spendy CPU. And DAMN! I wonder if that's a world record?

Would R20 actually even run on, say, a "system" with 8 sockets with 8180's in each?. Is that even possible to run one program on such a setup? cuz this is probably THE, or if not, very close to THE highest single motherboard result i think

Edit: i wonder what dual EPYC 7601's would get.

Oh yes. Programs that are SMP aware will generally use any CPU/Core available to the system. In the case of Cinebench, it is specifically written to use all CPU's/cores Windows will allow. 8x56cores? I'd love to see THAT score!

We are reeeeeaaaaaally stretching the definition of 'itx' here.

This is an itx case:

The core P1 ITX is a bit larger than volume wise than most compact atx cases.

It's an amazing beast performance / size wise. But definitely got clickbaited on the itx front .

Thermaltake sells it as a "minITX" case. well yes, of course its not the smallest example of a miniITX case - and I can't change the laws of physics....

(at the same time - my whole case is almost the same size as the motherboard itself, that wasn't easy)

You can run almost any program on a multicore platform. Windows sees all cores available.

Rendering in particular can be split into any number of jobs - as long as each process has enough pixels to make it effective ;-). Some engines support distributed rendering (I've used V-Ray).

 

[phanbuey]

It is an amazing rig.

I can imagine that room heating up noticeably with that under full load lol.

 

[venturi]

the rig runs cool and silent, but I'm sure the room is getting the blast

 

[venturi]

here is the prototype SSD caddy I made for the unit and the lattice for the video cards

Why the hell do you want to put it in the smallest case possible?

 

[venturi]

Why the hell do you want to put it in the smallest case possible?

I like small, quiet, efficient and running cool temps. I did not see any reason to build a behemoth when I could make it small enough to fit on a desktop. I find efficiency elegant.
Form follows function.


....and all that power in such a small dense space.


Well, the real answer is that this build was based on what I like, not real reason beyond my taste.
