Is there any dual-CPU mobo available for TR1's?
A dual-1950X would probably hash similarly to a 2990WX and still be cheaper... it'd just draw about 100W more (which isn't that much).
EDIT: alternatively, how do the EPYC server CPUs hash? One could get a dual-7401P and enjoy 48-core hashing madness!
EDIT 2: it looks like EPYC's are massively fast:

EDIT 3: on second thought, a dual-7401p would probably hash around 3KH/s on CN. That's 1.5 Vegas... Same power draw. You'd still need quad-channel RAM, an expensive dual-CPU server mobo... Meh. Maybe less worth it than I originally thought.
