An appropriate cooling system for a 2x Epyc mobo will cause so much noise I'm not sure we could call it a workstation. Well, you could try to, but nobody else in the room will hear you.
- menaerus 3y agoIf that had been true, then I guess there would be no offerings of "workstations" that pack server-grade CPUs into the tower cases ready to be used as more powerful desktop machines. I happen to have one at home (dual socket) and it's silent just as a regular machine. Noise that we find in server machines is because of the fans pushing loads of air basically out through the 1U/2U tunnel. With tower cases that is not the case and hence there's no noise.
- densh 3y agoDual 360-420mm water cooling radiators should be sufficient to cool that without breaking a sweat at decent noise levels.
- JonChesterfield 3y agoOne would be fine - absolute flat out pair of epyc chips is still under 800W and you can't overclock them so running a water delta of 20 degrees doesn't matter very much.
