Ok, so I have my 2nd 3930k all assembled and in working condition. Only problem is I nuked my install of windows in the process (my guess, a lot of hard shut downs and reboots while diagnosing a hardware issue, turns out I had a stick of RAM die). So I'm forced to do a reformat and OS install for the 2nd 3930k system. So my question is which OS should I use? I have a copy of 7 Pro 64 bit available(tried and true OS I am very used to). I can buy a copy of 8.1 Pro 64 bit for about $40 though school(I really do not like the GUI of 8 or 8.1). Or I can try out a Linux OS for the first time(I've never used Linux before, probably should). So what do you think? What OS will yeild the best results as far as running on a WCG cruncher? The computer will pretty much only be used for crunching, unless something happens with my other 3930k system. The system will be comprised of the following parts-
CPU- i7 3930k @ 4.3ghz under a Deep Cool Lucifer heatsink
MB- ASUS P9X79 Deluxe
RAM- 4 (1*4gb) Corsair Vengeance Blue DDR3 1600
GPU- ASUS DirectCU HD7770
PSU- Corsair TX850 (overkill I know, but it's all I have right now)
HD- Seagate 7200.12 500GB 16mb cache
