I’ll be very curious what you get with DDR4. I also almost went that way. I have an Epyc DDR 5 rig and the best I see is 10 tok/s. Caveat being that’s at Q8 and a 4090 doing pre fill so it could be pushed up. The surprising thing for me is how much work you will need to cool the banks if you’re near your memory ceiling. My memory starts soft throttling at about 74C (dies may be hotter, that’s the bank temp) and will…
Typically computers with these larger memory amounts have fans that scream like a banshee trying to move impossible amounts of air over the memory and CPU. Getting something both cool and quite can be a bit difficult.
I had some 120x38mm fans from another server box that I pulled out because they were too loud and I didn't need the static pressure they were giving. They went in here. That 13mm (and the extra 1k rpm) moves so much more air.
