Good video as normal. But 5 months on, doesn't really matter unless you are getting a heap of HDDs every month. 99% of the time Farmers will not be plotting after the first build of their farm. Now that GPU plots have arrived it certainly doesn't matter if Farmers use a GPU. My old HPZ440 with a XEON E5-2690V3 (2.6GHZ) did NO GPU plots in 29 mins [c/w RAM-DISC 120GB]. Now with Giga-Horse GPU at compression 8 with Nvidia RTX360 and 268GB RAM it took ONLY 3 minutes each to re-plot my 4,567 plots.
Great video and love the pace, not too slow but infomative. Would love to see percentage of speeddecrease between the two, instead of absolute GB/TB per day/week.
I like the 2697V3 for that extra all core turbo boost, solid performer. Do you think the wattage was about the same for each processor during plotting?
Ok, totally didn't expect this but the plotter is pulling 235W with the 2699 and 240W with the 2697. I thought for sure the 2697 would be a couple of watts less due to less cores, but guess that higher clock rate consumes more. The best way to compare would really be to let each run for exactly 24 hours and look at the kWh consumed. Not sure I have the patience for that though lol. The killawatt isn't really precise enough to compare with just one plot.
@@HomeSysAdmin yeah that is very close but given they are running full tilt, that's useful for people looking at this from a cores vs clocks standpoint also that they are so close. Does the board support V4?
I have a SuperServer 6028TR-HTR and I'm working on building just one of the nodes, I bought two 2699v3s and 8x32gb ram for a total of $350 off ebay, I plan on doing the same for the other 3 nodes down the road to fully populate the server
I love the cases! Their lineup of 1U-4U are some of the best to build pretty much anything in, especially since they fit standard ATX boards. There may be another added soon 🙂
well there is the All Core Turbo Boost Unlock hack that can be performed to these v3 Xeons....then the 2699 will most likely increase his all core frequency up to 3.6 (considering cooling solution used, max. TDP). But that depends of your motherboard if it allows such procedure, as the BIOS needs to be modified /re-flashed. On the other hand even the prices for 2699 have decreased significantly
I don't have any experience with the AMD side to be able to compare the two. Intel is the way for me, thus my opinion would be unintentionally biased lol.
I want to buy myself a first (good) server. Now the reason I want it, is to have a NAS, and also run a jellyfin for my home. No I want to buy a good server, what would you people suggest me? I found Sun Oracle Server X6-2 / 2 x Xeon E5-2699 v4 for about 1000$, but not sure is it any good? I don't have HDD's, so I would have to get those as well. Also, I must ask, which kind of services do you people run in your home? I see here in this rack a lot of servers, like what you do with them

Great video! Props for proper heat sink removal!
Thanks! I'm guessing you're referring to the diagonal loosening pattern? 🙂

Thank for the setup I am a dual Xeon user for decades. Plotting is amiable. I will like and subscribe I like your content so far.

Sure love supermicro server boxes !! worth every cent !

@@HomeSysAdmin yup, agree 100%.
supermicro is pretty awful, even worst then there ipmi.
the chassis arnt (exlcuding the drive caddys)
@@RealTkco wrong.
Hey, have you ever thinked about the V4 Xeons for plotting if your server supports it ? might be ven quicker
CPU doesn't matter much at this point. It's all GPU-based plotting now and I've been running an RTX 3060 for that.
well there is the All Core Turbo Boost Unlock hack that can be performed to these v3 Xeons....then the 2699 will most likely increase his all core frequency up to 3.6 (considering cooling solution used, max.

Wonder how the E5-2696v3 would stack up against these two CPU's.
Whats better Dual Xeon E5 2699 v3 or Ryzen 9 3950X?

Thorough as always... I just don't care at all about chia. I was mining eth when it was cool, just don't see the point of this. Prove me wrong!
I would expect the comparison to hold true for any multi-threaded CPU-intense workload. It just happens Chia is my use case at the moment.
Can you try mining YDA coin on the 2699 want to the hashrate?
do you think SUPERMICRO SYS-1027B will be a good replacement for CSE-813N?
looks like they use 2x 12 Core E5-2697V2 2.7GHz wonder how much slower compare to E5-2697V3.
E5-2697V2 doesn't look like a bad choice either. I think the big difference there since it's a v2 is going to be DDR3 vs DDR4 memory.
@@HomeSysAdmin how much difference between 256gb ddr 3 and ddr 4. price?
@@leo-zb2ui DDR3 even for servers is cheap.
DDR4 still has a significant market outside servers, tends to be ballpark double from what I've seen?
How’s the fan running?
Which fan are you referring to? The noise from the rack?
you did not calculate the money dff ,
how much money do u make on this VS electrical bill ?

It's producing a lot of constant noise and heat, that's what it's producing LOL
Yep, perfect for heating my unconditioned basement ;)
eeewwwwww You're using VIM!!!!! 🤮
LOL. What do you use? And please don't say nano...

I use the predecessor to pico 😜
