Popular Post seeteeyou Posted December 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2021 Be prepared to wait for a VERY long time, Xeon E-2100 and E-2200 processor product family could only be supported by C246 chipset https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/191043/intel-xeon-e2246g-processor-12m-cache-3-60-ghz.html#tab-blade-1-1 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/processors/xeon/xeon-e-2100-processor-brief.html Quote Intel® C246 Chipset https://www.kontron.com/mITX-CFLS-article-201911 Quote Intel® Q370 Chipset (paired with Core™) Intel® C246 Chipset (paired with Xeon® recommended, Core™ compatible as well) BTW, it ain't really just about any Xeon processors since we're going after something that could handle either single-socket with Sub-NUMA Clustering or dual-socket with LGA 3647 https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/taiko-audio-sgm-extreme-the-crème-de-la-crème.27433/page-88#post-613373 Quote As for the stock server-grade ASUS motherboard used in the Extreme, I have often wondered why Emile didn't design his own motherboard like Antipodes and Innuos have and it turns out Emile has. As I have a background heavily entrenched in DIY, I have explored motherboard design myself and if one has the capital, any of these motherboard manufacturers will gladly build you one. What Emile found, however, was the motherboard he designed didn't sound better. In fact, he tested dozens of boards and I was able to witness for myself some of these boards that failed to make the cut including several that were in active prototype form. It's gotta be a "miracle of the century" if anyone were able to design a superior Q370-based motherboard that won't cost (much?) more than that Asus WS C621E SAGE mentioned above https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/taiko-audio-sgm-extreme-the-crème-de-la-crème.27433/page-100#post-616762 Quote "Well RAM is a topic on its own, to start with, the 2 cpu’s are split into domains (NUMA / SNC), so you really have 2 x 6 dimms, 6 for each CPU, they are not shared. Music services have their own cpu/dimms and the OS has its own cpu/dims. So its sort of a core and endpoint into a single machine going beyond just core allocations for individual processes. Similarly, OPTIMO S ATX might be pretty much DoA unless that could actually beat Taiko Audio DC DC-ATX with an unregulated LPS if we're going for dual Xeon 4114 / 4210 + Asus WS C621E SAGE.
