I need to build a server to my my virtual machines to, I run a lot of VMs which they use a lot of CPU and memory, for some heavy machine learning sometimes my pc gets slow down and i want to solve this issue by building a home server, not sure if you guys think this is a good idea or no

- My virtual machines run python selenium codes using multi threading, I heard this info is important as there are a lot of CPUs which are made for this, I am not sure which ones

- I need at least 30-50 CPU cores and 64gb-128gb memory

Is this achievable with a budget of 2000$?

Some other questions I had in mind, such a server is going to be noisy? if I placed in it another room is it possible to control it remotly without cables?

If I missed any info please point them out I would love to add more details, thank you

Have you looked into AMD EPYC?

There are regular deals comming from china with Supermicro Motherboard/CPU/RAM deals:

A setup like this will be a power hog though.

To control it from another room you would use the web interface of whatever OS you are using eg Proxmox. To turn it on you can use Wake On Lan commands/apps on your workstation/phone.

Check out a build video for an EPYC system here:

You have to make sure the cooler you use is rated for the CPU though:

Plus, is there a way I can make it reach 128gb memory? the only available option is 64gb

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

the only available option is 64gb

I'm not saying it looks legit, but the listing definitely has 8*64GB modules - 512GB in total.

Markaos are you sure? isn't it 8 rams that gives you only 64gb? if you are correct then i am god dam new to this shit <3

so it's really 512GB? i really want a reply, if it is then dam this is not bad

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Given that it also has an 8*8GB variant (which cannot be the total capacity because 1GB DDR4 DIMMs are not a thing)... yeah, I'm sure that's what the listing means. Again, no comment on how legit it actually is, I have no experience with buying server parts on eBay.
