Hi Patrick, awsome video. One comment about the size, the Supermicro is not neccesarily bigger than the Lenovo. The Supermicro can do a weird hat trick that passed unnoticed in your review, wich is that the the top part is fully removable / disposable !. Supermicro have different cooling options for this case, with some of them using air cooling and not requiring the top part. They even have an optional rack kit with rails that you can install after removing the top.

Supermicro might not be saints, but at least they are very good at using industry standard connectors and the like. Lenovo has a 3 year warranty, but if anything breaks after that, youre completely screwed, whereas with the supermicro could be fixed with off the shelf parts. Im a broke student, so my server has a xeon e5 v1, but having the ability to run whatever cpu (my hp didnt support v2, thanks guys...), cooler and case i want makes a massive difference.

Super micro doesn't vendor lock the CPU either so you can carry over the CPU if you upgrade it later. I love supermicro's products for this, getting used dell and HP server systems is pretty cheap but not being able to repurpose half the parts in them once I decommission them is such a deal breaker. I have this old Sandy Bridge Poweredge T110 II system and the motherboard is so jank, its some weird inverted form factor where it is bolted to the left hand side of the chassis when viewing it from the front while literally every other chassis in existance the motherboard mounts on the right hand side. so any expansion card I put in it was also upside down in order to fit in it. not to mention it was some weird dimension being like 11" tall and 14" wide

You just helped me avoid a HUGE blunder. I want to go with the 32 core, upgrade to the 64 down the line, and do a new build on the 32 core. If I had gone with Lenovo I would have been MFing like no tomorrow. The nails in the coffin were the added features for use as a server and the price, I could care less about the onsite service, at this price gap you can get a barebones 32 core Supermicro for $5,300.00.

Hi Patrick, love these kinda videos!!! You just made one tiny mistake, in the lenovo configurator you added the Nvidia A6000 (price 8k usd) while in the supermicro you didn't add it. As a result you did get a difference, but on 15k price range, a grand more or less doesn't really matter. For me searching, I see the Supermicro coming up about 1k more expensive. Since I am a 'fan' of both, I couldn't say really which is better since both seem to be superb. Personally I would build these myself if I got the chance to shop them. (or at least buy ram/drives/gpu at third party) Because yes the vendor lock of the big 4 is the one thing that really turned me off most pre-builds. (3x markup on ram and drives comes to mind) Anyway another great video, thank you, keep up the good work!

One of the great features of the Thinkstation is Lenovo Performance Tuner, which I have found really powerful on my Intel-based Thinkstation, as it allows extracting untapped performance from my older system when running specific apps, and allows me to save templates so I don't have to retune if I want to run something different. Did you try tuning the system this way for your 24 hour test?

With Genoa 280 W will be "just the beginning" ;) Though I did hear that Workstations (Threadripper) aren't scheduled for release for another year, which is a bit sad. And in this case: 6000$ less for something that doesn't vendor lock your CPU, has much more room to upgrade and better cooling (that depends on preferences) is sort of no-brainer. Though I'm amazed at how good P620 actually is. I was worried we would get something much, much worse, more akin to what you can buy in Walmart for Desktop PC's. But both are well made and Lenovo system has some things going for it. But not worth additional 6000$.

You can work in a stable environment every day, every hour, in situations that others can reach only for some seconds, firsts of the benchmark end. A good well though liquid cooling system can make the difference in long heavy loads. Really thanks for all these opportunities of looking at the most powerfull workstations of hour times.

The Supermicro has a BMC which is a great advantage if you want to use it as a "cheapo" server. I find it a bit odd that you say "has IPMI" instead of "has a BMC" since IPMI is just one of the common interfaces for a BMC. But IPMI is outdated and was replaced by Redfish, which is a more modern and simpler interface (using HTTP and JSON). Would have liked to see a bit more about the SuperMicro BMC. Otherwise great review, thanks. :)

I've actually been looking around at high end workstation for my own needs and I keep ending up at the idea for my needs where it's going to be running in a home work environment that SuperMicro keeps ending up the better buy overall. In my case the machine will be being used for scientific compute needs for astronomy and astrophysics research and that price difference can't be ignored as I'll probably be paying out of pocket for the machine or via grant money. There's reasons to go this route too as a researcher as once I'm out of school chances are I'll end up having to move around for a while ever year or two and I'd rather be in the situation where taking my own research data with me is just simply packing up a tower and a NAS or two than trying to deal with moving larger amounts of data ever few years when I end up inevitably moving because I can't get a contract extension or tenure. So for me if I get around 4-5 years out running the machine hard it's payed for itself and I'd be probably looking to upgrade by then anyways.

Look here now. In real world production facilities Lenovo provides a great product. The ThinkStation P620 sells for a discounted price to research organizations, and then Lenovo Certifies Red Hat Linux on the platform. In a production environment, on site support and 24 hour response is critical. In research every hour counts and the majority of workloads run on Linux! Our reality is that we will run these systems until the end of the warranty, we normally purchase a 5 year plan. At that point technology has moved forward and resale value is not really a consideration.

Not sure. You would have to ask Supermicro, but many of their parts have orderable part numbers

The RAM cooling fan confused me a bit. It seems based on the plastic cover, that the fan is supposed to blow air towards the front of the Case, whilst the CPU cooler is drawing its air towards the back. Why not push both in the same direction Or it's supposed to pull air through the dimms, but that still seems a bit weird

Yeah I saw this too. I'll pop the case on the one we've got and see if thats the airflow...makes no sense if it is that way - you'd think they'd eject all hot air out of the back asap

I don't think you are including the price of the RTX A6000 (~$4,000) in your Supermicro specifications, while it seems included in the Lenovo price. From what I can tell in the video there is no GPU added on the Supermicro price breakdown. Adding in the RTX A6000 would make the prices about the same, no?

When a supplier is trying to LOCK you into their system, (PSB), it implies that they dont feel that they can compete on a level field. so Watch out

If you talked a bit slower it would give the audience a bit more time to digest what you're saying without having to pause the video every time you point to a feature.
