This is a collection of components known to work with the Talos™ II-based solutions. It's maintained by both Raptor CS and community members.
Cases
These cases were successfully used by someone.
- SuperMicro SC732i-500B
- Not recommended for 12 core and higher CPUs
- SuperMicro SC732D4-903B
- Add-on sound card recommended
- Add-on USB 2.0 card or USB 3.0 hub recommended
- SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B or SC747TG-R1400B-SQ
- Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended
- Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs
- Listed as EoL by Supermicro, replaced with 1620 versions. Same fan modules and PDU used in newer, higher watt, version. (Robbieab (talk))
- System Assembly Video - SC747TG-R1400B-SQ
- Rosewill RSV-L4500
- Fans are two wire and use molex connectors
Known problematic cases
- BeQuiet Dark Base 900 (Robbieab (talk))
- Claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website
- Infographic showing the motherboard space to only be 322mm deep, which is 8.2mm short of the full-size E-ATX.
- Emailed them for clarification, but no response. Can't confirm either way.
- SuperMicro SC822
- Low speed fans provide insufficient airflow over CPU0, leading to overheating if more than one 4-core CPU is installed.
- Athena Power RM-3U8G1043
- Some motherboard standoffs needed to be removed, and others needed additional hight.
- There was no standoff hole for the top right.
- The support beam across the top of the case interferes with CPU2 heatsink, but can be easily removed.
Standoff issues
Stand off issues appear to be a very common problem. In many cases mitigation may be possible.
- Fractal Design Define XL R2
- Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions.
- Some alternative standoff in at least the top-middle position may be required to prevent too much bending of the motherboard while inserting RAM.
- BitFenix Aurora
- Multiple missing standoff holes, some mitigation possible.
- Thermaltake Core W200
- Heavy, expensive, massive.
- Compatible with caveats
- Talos™ II mainboard will fit in E-ATX compatible side only (when viewed from rear of case, the right side) if the dual system case.
- Missing standoff holes for the top-left and top-middle positions. (non-essential but ensure proper support when inserting and removing RAM to avoid bending mainboard)
- Must remove wire-hole rubber grommets present under Talos™ II mainboard on right lower side for proper fit
- Nanoxia Deep Silence2 (Sharkcz)
- missing top-middle standoff hole, but I've used a plastic "flat" standoff instead
- Power LED - red goes to pin 15, black to pin 16
- possible mitigation is plastic standoff like ASS-10
Candidate Cases
These cases claim E-ATX support and are planned to be used, or were considered, by someone.
- Lian Li PC-V1000L (Robbieab (talk))
- Similar price point to the Supermicros with high power PSU.
- Very "Apple" brushed aluminium aesthetic.
- Couldn't confirm E-ATX was fullsize.
- Passed over in favour of the SuperMicro SC747TQ-R1400B
- Corsair 760T (mosst)
- Reasonably cheap.
- Unusually tasteful aesthetics for a consumer/gaming case. Looks like something Aperture Science would come up with.
- Yet to confirm if E-ATX is fullsize.
Power Supplies
When planning to run with both CPU sockets populated keep in mind that the power-supply should support also 2 8-pin EPS connectors.
- Seasonic PRIME 1300W
- Seasonic PRIME Ultra 650W
- FSP Group Twins ATX 1+1 Dual Module 700W 80 PLUS GOLD Hot Swappable Redundant Digital Power Supply
- Customer reported good build quality and proper functionality
Memory
The criteria are basically "is it ECC, is it registered, is it NOT LRDIMM"
From the manual:
| Total Slots | 16 (4 channels per CPU) |
| Capacity | 2TB maximum |
| Memory Type | DDR4 1600/1866/2133/2400/2666 |
| Memory Features | ECC |
| Module Sizes | 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, 64GB, 128GB (RDIMM) |
