Some days it good numbers. Not so good on other days. I dont think the servers update as much on the weekends, thats when my numbers really take a dive sometimes.

Those are some pretty good numbers, right on par clock-for-clock with the X4 I have. Just wondering, but wouldn't it be cheaper and use less power to have 2 less X4 rigs and get an i7 instead?

blkhogan · Apr 21, 2010, 12:35 AM

Not when you use pretty much AMD for everything.

AMD is what I know. Id look all shit ass stupid if I were trying to run Intels.

The power usage is not an issue. I live in the land of cheap power rates. Four machines running 24/7 costs me about $50 at the most. Im running more into a problem with room over cost.

I've used nothing but Intel's up to my X4 955, so I'm still learning about it, I'm learning new terms like HTT and NB-VCore

But it's worth it, the X4 955 pulls in a couple hundred more PPD than the C2Q Q9400 it replaced, and OCs better (albeit at the expense of more heat and power consumption)

Chicken Patty · Apr 21, 2010, 12:47 AM

if room is your issue, Intel is the way to go. Couple of i7's and your are golden

blkhogan · Apr 21, 2010, 12:54 AM

Ive had 1 Intel other than my current laptop, it was a Xeon. It was very difficult to go from AMD to Intel based operation. Ive always found AMD to be more my style. The new i7's sound way to hard for my short attention span.

I have a habit of breaking things if I get flustrated. I had an AMD x2 a year or so ago that I was trying to overclock. It would not break stock clocks without BSOD'ing. So what did I do? I got mad, pulled it out and threw into the field behind my house.

Nothing wrong with it, the ATX plug wasnt all the way plugged in, so it wasnt getting enough juice to run an overclock.

Don't get expensive hardware then

blkhogan · Apr 21, 2010, 01:01 AM

I have you guys now.

I might look at doing an i7 soon, those Thuban's are pretty tempting though.

Yeah, they sure are. Since this is my daily rig I wonder if there would actually be a performance increase for daily usage? Like would apps take advantage of six cores?

I really doubt you'd notice anything...I disabled two of the cores and I didn't notice anything for daily usage...but WCG PPD was down by 50%. So I doubt you'd see any difference in most apps (except video encoding or the like), but I'd expect it to be almost exactly 50% better for WCG vs an X4

Then I might just get one

It's a drop in upgrade for me I believe, I haven't even checked if my board supports the X6, I'm pretty sure it does though.

blkhogan · Apr 21, 2010, 01:45 AM

My Gigabyte 770 supports X6. So Im guessing yours should be able to also.

I can't find the info on GB's site?

(FIH) The Don · Apr 21, 2010, 02:00 AM

which board do you have CP?

this http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=3258

or this http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=3005

blkhogan · Apr 21, 2010, 02:04 AM

What is the newest BIOS for your board? If its the F6 or higher your good.

(FIH) The Don · Apr 21, 2010, 02:05 AM

strange, cant find anything on gigabyte regarding compatibility of the x6, but it should come soon,

and im 99.9% sure that you board will support it with a bios update

Both the AMD boards I have support X6 CPUs. I was able to get the BIOS update from Gigabyte's website after I saw that there was 6 core support on the motherboards CPU support list (also on Gigabytes website). It is weird that some of the other boards don't seem to show support yet.

I ended up building out the other i7 860 that I have. I would love to keep it, but I am going to sell it to help pay my bill.

I'm sure it'll have it, my board is considered high end for AMD I would say. I hope it does, if it does, I'm getting one

(FIH) The Don · Apr 21, 2010, 03:53 AM

its one of the best from gigabyte

so are you gonna get a BE or just a regular?
