Thankfully, they spend more time at idle than at full load. The 2690вЂ™s however each electricity like itвЂ™s going out of style, they are capable of using up to 135 watts each! That is some serious power draw. The 2690вЂ™s are in a very similar boat also with 8 Cores/16 Threads but with a base clock speed of 2.9Ghz and boost clock of 3.8 giggly hurtz. The 2670вЂ™s are 8 Cores/16Threads with a base clock speed of 2.6Ghz and Turbo Boost speed of 3.3Ghz, as well as a peak power usage of 115 Watts. If you are looking to save a few bucks, stick with the 2670вЂ™s, they are beasts. The 2670вЂ™s were great for a long time, almost 2 years in fact, but overtime I added more and more services to this system, so it was time for a CPU bump. The system is also host to a Space Engineers server, which at times can use the hell out of the CPUвЂ™s.

I got the Dual 2690s for a whopping $350!!!! For me this was a worth-while upgrade because there are times when I have 2 to 4 people streaming from my Plex server at the same time. Then somewhere along the line I decided to get a second server, the second server ended up with the 2670s and this build ended up with Dual 2690s. Originally, I purchased Dual LGA 2011-v1вЂ™s 2670вЂ™s (SR0KX) for $118, total, not each. Pretty expensive on itвЂ™s own, especially when you consider you can get a Dell R720 with dual 2670вЂ™s, redundant 750watt PSUвЂ™s, and 16GBs of RAM for around $560. I managed to get this board for $280 off Amazon. You should note, that you can sometimes get the EP2C602-4L/D16 cheaper on NewEgg than Amazon, especially when itвЂ™s on sale. Be warned though, the USB port is very close to the PCI-E lanes, so if you get a thumb drive that is too tall, it might interfere with the PCI card you are trying to insert into the system. The reason this is a perk is because I never have to worry about the USB drive being unplugged while the system is running. Lastly, this board has an on-board USB 2.0 slot, which is perfect for the SanDisk Ultra Fit 16GB that stores the unRAID OS itself. Which is what I needed since I wanted to split a PCI-E x16 lane into two x8s for my NVME SSDs. Another great thing about the AsRock EP2C602-4L/D16, is that it supports bifurcation. The board also has on-board Intel quad 1Gbps ethernet ports, which is perfect for redundancy or pass-through. I havenвЂ™t confirmed this but I believe the most RAM this board will support is 128GBs of unregistered ECC memory and 512GBs of registered ECC memory. Just something to consider, well unless you want to go ham and get 16GB or 32GB DIMMs. The board also has a pretty decent amount of memory slots (16 total), which allows you to cheap out a bit on 4GB DDR3 DIMMs instead of 8GB DIMMs. Having two CPUвЂ™s would give me many extra cores and threads for several VMs or docker containers. Thirdly? I knew I wanted to, at the very least, have a dual socket motherboard so that way I would be able to support dual CPUs. Much easier to turn the server on with Magic Packets(Wake-on-Lan WOL) than to go to the web URL for the remote management.

You will also be able to update the BIOS/UEFI if needed or access log files for diagnostic reasons. Because of the Web UI, you can also see cool statistics about your hardware, like temperature and speeds. IMPI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface), is always on and allows you to manage the server even when it is powered off. One perk of this board is the dedicated IPMI port, aka, remote access via the network. The only solution, and not a bad one at that, was to purchase a LSI SAS9211-8I card. unRAID does not like Marvell, my drives would spew mad errors. I have only had one problem with this motherboard and that is the onboard Marvell SATA controller. Secondly, this motherboard is on sale seemingly, every other week on NewEgg so you too may be able to get it on the cheap. I specifically chose the AsRock EP2C602-4L/D16 because I specifically wanted LGA 2011 2670 or 2690s, these CPUs are insanely badass and very affordable when purchased used off eBay.

However, for this build, I just wanted something straight up custom and quiet (no mods required). Normally, I would highly recommend buying a used R710 (or equivalent) off of eBay or maybe perhaps shopping at or, to save a few bucks and get a nice system. LetвЂ™s get straight down to business here.
