Excellent processor and arrived way ahead of schedule
Pros: - Perfect for a low power home server, I replaced 3x i7's with this, all of which consumed 85W each and have less threads combined than this Xeon - Runs extremely cool and quiet with Noctua cooler, have not seen it over 40 degrees since installing it
Cons: - Agree with other posts saying it's a bit nerve wracking installing a cooler on LGA 3647, but it ended up going just fine..
Overall Review: Great CPU, would certainly recommend to others.
Good gaming card
Pros: (review revised July 2016) I have owned this card for 4 years now and it is still kickin. -Still very powerful for 1080p
Cons: -Bad overclocker -Fans extremely loud -Runs extremely hot
Excellent motherboard
Pros: - High memory capacity, good CPU compatibility, NVMe port- IPMI is awesome- Instructions & user manuals are far better than what I've seen from other motherboard manufacturers- Packaging was good, fast shipping
Cons: - Not a single thing
Overall Review: This is the first Supermicro board I've bought and wow, I'm in love. I can't think of anything negative to say about it.I'm running it with a Xeon Silver 4214 in a Fractal Meshify 2XL and its just about the best home lab server I can think of. Dead silent (all Noctua cooling), cool, consumes less power overall than most of my quad-core i7 systems with 3x the cores.6/5 eggs
Titan X what?
Pros: -1894MHz boost clock out of the box -Incredibly quiet, I have several games where the fans don't even turn on and still runs very cool (high 50's low 60's) -2.1GHz OC with no issues -Runs every game I have maxed at under 70% load
Cons: -Tiny bit of coil whine but doesn't bother me that much. Pretty insignificant compared to my old 7970's..
Bad board
Pros: Cheap..?
Cons: -Only one fan header -USB headers are in a terrible spot if you want to use anything in the PCIe slot -Can't sleep, fans still spin -Can't use a dedicated graphics card unless you disable the onboard chipset on the southbridge -BIOS plain and simple SUCKs, feels like its ten years old -Lots of BSOD's
Overall Review: Buy a different board
Good for an AMD
Pros: Quad core, powerful, handles most games very well. Cooling block is awesome.
Cons: Not Intel
Overall Review: Cooling block kind of extends a little to far out around the edges I thought but it looks so cool that it doesn't matter.
