=== Version 2022-Dec AMD DDR5 PC ===


(in progress. CPU not available at this moment!)
(still current as of 2023-Sep, 2024-Jan, 2024-May)


Notes:
Notes:
* use B560/X670 chipset, no separate chipset cooling fan
* use 65W CPU for normal air cooled box
* count available PCIe slots, usually only 1 x16 slots, up to 2 x4 slots (look like x16 slots) and a few x1 slots (short ones)
** 100W CPU could be air cooled, with difficulties
* DDR5 includes on-chip ECC
** above 100W CPU must be water cooled
* DDR5 ECC memory has additional lanes for on-CPU ECC. CPU and mobo must say "ECC supported"
* use B650/X670 chipset, avoid mobo with small chipset cooling fan (sometimes they hide it)
* use 1.1V DDR5-4800-40 RAM
* count available PCIe slots:
* use 1.2V DDR5-5200-40 RAM
** often only 1 x16 slot wired for pcie x16
* use 1.25V DDR5-5200-36 RAM (fastest)
** often 2 x16-size slots wired for 1x16 or 2x8 (if both are in use)
** often additional x16 slot is wired for x4
** x1 slots can be used for ethernet or video card
* standard DDR5 DRAM includes on-chip ECC and is called "non-ECC RAM"
* DDR5 ECC DRAM memory has additional lanes for on-CPU ECC. CPU and mobo must say "ECC supported", i.e. AMD 7700X and Supermicro mobo
* how to select DDR5 modules:
* choose speed supported by CPU:
** https://www.amd.com/en/products/apu/amd-ryzen-7-7700 says DDR5-5200, yes ECC
** https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/7000-series/amd-ryzen-7-7700x.html says DDR5-5200, yes ECC
** https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/desktops/ryzen/8000-series/amd-ryzen-7-8700g.html says DDR5-5200, no ECC
* choose minimum voltage and CAS latency, i.e.
* typical 1.1V DDR5-5200 has CAS40
* typical 1.25V DDR5-5200 has CAS36
* typical 1.30V is DDR5-6000
* typical 1.35V is DDR5-5600 and 6000
* typical 1.4V is DDR5-6000
* chosen GSKill DDR5 modules are DDR5-5600 CAS36 1.25V actually run at 1.1V
* WD Blue SA510 series SSDs are not as good as previous WD Blue series: always report 0 power-on hours, on busy machines (dsdaqgw) seem to be actually wearing out. We should try the WD Red series.


* $350 AMD 7600X 6-core 4.7 GHz 105W https://www.newegg.ca/amd-ryzen-5-7600x-ryzen-5-7000-series/p/N82E16819113770?Item=N82E16819113770

* for add-on 10gige NIC, use Intel X710-DA2 or Intel X710-BM2 (I struggle to find the differences between the two part numbers)
* $400 2x32GB https://www.newegg.ca/g-skill-64gb/p/N82E16820374440?Item=N82E16820374440

DAQ PC Configurations

Buying from newegg.ca

  • select "shipped by newegg"
  • select "ship from country: Canada"

Standard components

Fans

Power supplies

Power supply requirements:

  • 120mm cooling fan (longer life, better air flow vs small fans)
  • ActivePFC (no 110/220V switch, high power factor is required for use with UPSes)
  • 4 or more SATA power connectors

SSD

  • M.2 PCIe SSD not recommended, if there is a glitch, PCIe bus hangs, computer stops without error messages, impossible to debug. also not clear how to recover data from this type of SSD if mobo dies.
  • SATA: WD blue 250GB, 500GB, 1TB, 2TB
  • M.2 SATA: WD blue
  • (obsolete) SATA: Kingston V200, V200+, V300 - 60GB, 120GB
  • (obsolete) M.2: (proposed) Kingston SSDNow M.2 2280 120GB http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104482

Parts list:

Version 2022-Aug AMD reduced cost PC

Differences from "big PC":

  • cheapest 5000-series "G" CPU
  • non-ECC memory
  • small size motherboard

Notes:

  • use B550 chipset (X570 runs hot, requires short-life small cooling fan. avoid)
  • use AMD "5000X" CPUs for ECC memory support ("5000G" CPUs are missing Linux ECC drivers)
  • use 1.2V DDR4 SDRAM. current size is 2x 32GB (dual-channel memory)

Parts:

Version 2021-Sep AMD big PC

  • use B550 chipset (X570 runs hot, requires short-life small cooling fan. avoid)
  • use AMD "5000X" CPUs for ECC memory support ("5000G" CPUs are missing Linux ECC drivers)
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5700G 8-Core Processor with graphics
  • mobo ASUS ROG STRIX B550-XE GAMING
  • 2x32GB DDR4-3200 RAM (64GB total with 2 empty slots to add more later)
  • ECC memory is recommended, NEMIX RAM always available on newegg.ca
