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

  • 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
    • Hot swap drive capable; SAS recommended
    • Recommended for use with one or more high-end GPUs

Known problematic cases

  • Fractal Design Define XL R2 is 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.
  • BeQuiet Dark Base 900
    • The case claims to support E-ATX on the BeQuiet website, but they also have an 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.

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.
