This is a barebones system based on the Supermicro K1SPE motherboard and including a pre-installed, water-cooled 64 core / 256 thread Intel Xeon Phi 7210 CPU or a 68 core / 272 thread Intel Xeon Phi 7250 CPU depending on your selection. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE A COMPUTER CHASSIS and it will require significant user configuration. YOU MUST CONNECT THE HEATSINK FAN AND LIQUID PUMP CABLES PRIOR TO USE. At a minimum, a hard drive and operating system must be installed prior to use, and you may also wish to mount the components (including the 240mm radiator) into a chassis, add RAM (16 GB are already included on the CPU package) and/or replace the included power supply (which is not ATX-compatible). Note that the replacement power supply must support TWO 8-pin EPS connectors.

Please bear in mind that this is Enterprise-grade hardware. Before purchasing any parts or upgrades, please ensure you understand the compatibility details. Ensure any additional RAM is supported by the K1SPE motherboard.

Note that the included 650W server-grade power supply will not fit into an ATX chassis, and it is loud and not appropriate for a quiet home or office setting. We encourage replacement of the power supply if you wish to use it in these settings. The included power supply has ample SATA connectors but no PCIe connectors, so if you wish to install a GPU, you also must replace the power supply. Any replacement power supply will require two 8-pin EPS connectors to power the motherboard. Any of the following would be adequate:
  • Seasonic Focus Plus Gold: 750W, 850W, or 1000W
  • Seasonic Focus Plus Platinum: 750W or 850W
    • NOTE: The Seasonic Focus series is NOT compatible (only Focus Plus)
  • EVGA Supernova G2: 750W, 850W, or 1000W
  • Corsair HXi Series: 750W, 850W, or 1000W

The included motherboard and CPU have been tested. Please note that the boot process can take up to several minutes -- this is normal. 

Also included is a CoolIT EP2 all-in-one liquid cooling system with an integrated heat-sink, pump, and 240mm radiator with two fans.
