@acidiclight I am p sure there are no AM5 CPUs who's memory controller support more than 4 sticks in total.

@NekkoDroid really? but what if I want to build a beefy beefy dual-CPU tower server

@acidiclight Then you are looking at minimum at the workstation boards (AKA expect to pay at minimum 500 for the motherboard) but I don't think those have dual sockets either, just server boards

@NekkoDroid can it even be called a tower server if I cheap out on the motherboard

what do I even need in a motherboard

how the hell does water cooling work

I'm scared

@acidiclight I've been wanting to get home server myself for a bit, but I am mostly just reusing my old PC for it (R5 1600, had to replace the MoBo cuz I bricked it by removing the MS secure boot keys).

The main thing I was looking for was PCIe lanes. Cuz those are gone very fast if you are looking to use 1 GPU + any other PCIe peripherals.
