Hey all
Some time ago my Dual Six-Core AMD OpteronDP 2435 D0 had a short circuit and damaged the motherboard that SLI would not function no more, but with one card the motherboard does seem to run fine,but I prefer max functions so I decided to replace the motherboard with a new one new from old stock, add 4x 4GB PC2-6400 ECC Reg Server ram and buy a nice GPU for it which became a Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 Fury Nitro 4GB 4096Bit HBM, my first HBM based card
The setup changes are in details the following:
Blue-Leader SMP 2009 - setup from 2009 to 2018
2x Six-Core AMD OpteronDP 2435 D0 Istanbuls 12 Cores @ 2.6Ghz
4x 4GB PC2-6400 ECC Reg Kingston Value Ram (16GB NUMA Dual Channel DDR2-800 ECC Reg / 1.33GB per Core)
Supermicro H8DAE-2
2x EVGA GTX 480
Realtek onbioard ALC 883 7.1 HD sound
From that to this:
Blue-Leader SMP 2009 - setup from 2018 and onwards
2x Six-Core AMD OpteronDP 2435 D0 Istanbuls 12 Cores @ 2.6Ghz
8x 4GB PC2-6400 ECC Reg Kingston Value Ram (32GB NUMA Dual Channel DDR2-800 ECC Reg / 2.67GB per Core)
Supermicro H8DAE-2
1x Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 Fury Nitro+ PCI-E 4GB 4096Bit HBM
Auzentech X-Fi Forte PCI-E 64MB 128Bit XRAM 7.1 HD Sound card.

I didn't add in the sound card yet, I will do that once I have received the Supermicro H8DAE-2 replacement board.

Just a shame the new forum software is very impractical as it doesn't support basic HTML to post pictures, a major disadvantage.
Making edits isn't easy as it used to be :X
Especially when you make an edit, the post you actually made doe not always show everything it should be doing.
