Are these the boards I see labeled as X89 chipset??? Cracks me up they are copying Intel monikers. (ie. X79 X99)Quite a few of those off-brand Chinese board makers are offering brand new G34 boards (with custom heatsink) for under the $100 mark. Been tempted to try one just for fun.
just like the Asrock Rack board above. X470 makes it sound like an Intel chipset. (ie. X270, X370)
I found the Opteron 6380 has a 10K passmark score and that is good for a 7 year old board.
The Opteron 6370p sounds more my style at 99W TDP instead of 115W on 6380.
It is a rare CPU and appeared to be a fresher version using Warsaw.
G34 Drawbacks, DDR2 and SATA2, biggest hit for me is PCIe 2.x on those chips boards.
The SuperMicro H8 boards look good but still not cheap.
Overall I am happy I ended up on LGA2011.
It is pretty versatile socket and lots of cheap cooling as well as heatpipes and copper.
LGA3647 and EPYC sound groovy but I do have a house payment to make.
