djpandaman runs a Tyan S8030GM2NE with an EPYC 7R13 (48 cores, ex-datacenter stock) and 256 GB DDR4; CPU and board cost about 850 USD together. It has five x16 slots: enough for four cards at x16 plus a PLX switch. He thinks EPYC 7002 is probably better value than 7003. Source: @djpandaman, 2026-10-12
Source: @djpandaman, 2026-10-12 He picked it after a lot of research. Source: @djpandaman, 2026-10-22 Earlier he gave the best value as a Tyan board plus EPYC 7R13 for 5500 yuan (about 820 USD). Source: @djpandaman, 2026-10-10 He bought the board from the Taobao shop 苏锐服务器 (shop id 69496519); a new one in box should be about 3000 yuan. Source: @djpandaman, 2026-10-12
