Nice deals... the TX-750 is OOS already :eek:

I wouldn't hesitate to buy a refurb Corsair product. I bought an H80i refurb, and it came looking brand new and has been terrific since, though only a month old :laugh:

According to the pics the TX-650 is the V2 with Seasonic internals, HX-650 is a Seasonic also!

5 year warranty is important.

Hey everyone. So the plan is to start piecing my mothers old pc back together for a cruncher. So I checked in on the cpu and.............

Should I even bother. Is it worth the power to even run this little bugger. It is on this boardhttp://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/ConRoe1333-DVIH/
I don't think it can be even oc'd. It is on a stock cooler. As per mention of the extra ppd using Linux by @Norton maybe I can contribute a slight ppd for the challenge but beyond that :confused:

. Thoughts?

Hi. Did a stint at the DSL team and decided and come back to TPU for a while. Needed to re-register apparently. Nice new forum software. Wheeeee!

Great to see you back. You may see that my numbers are down but every rig is still crunching just not for me.

It's up to you. Many will say any points are more than no points, but you may be the one that has to pay the bill. Ion topped the charts for a long time with a fleet of HP Core2Duos and a few other higher performance rigs, but he had free electricity living in a dorm.

EDIT: Hey Matt, how close are you to Performance PCs? I might need you to go over there with your ass-kicking boots on... :mad:

As was said earlier, if it's not too much to pay for...The more, the merrier!!

Nordic · Oct 8, 2014

@tannelcor. I crunch with a intel c2d6300 overclocked to 2.3ghz sometimes. I will bring it on for the challenge, but I have cheap electricity. It was a low watt cpu at the time so it isn't a power hog, just low points.

Tallencor said:
Is it really that much better to run Linux on a crunching only rig or is a stripped down windows with most services etc shut down just as good?

@Tallencor Well, example being, I just fired up a new rig running Linux. A Fx 8350 and in the one day it has run it has caught my i7 rig in ppd and it's still spooling. It is also running at stock speeds. The thing to see is how much better it's going to do @ stock under Ubuntu compaired to the 2 oc'd 8350's I have that are running win7.

No shit? Performance PC's are only 45 min north of ya?! Dang man, how often do you go up that way? I may have you pick some items up while your close up there the next time bro. Probably cheaper shipping than what they charge. :ohwell:

I've never been up to the place; I've only ordered from them. Shipping is never too crazy for me, but probably since I'm close.

and they're 1h and 45min from me so it's not that close.

However, that is a distance I'd be willing to travel to a Microcenter, but we don't have them down here

stinger608 · Oct 8, 2014

Ah, I thought you were 45 minutes away. Yea, LOL, an hour and 45 is a bit far. :toast:

Tallencor · Oct 8, 2014

Cool. Thanks guys, I will have it ready for the challenge and see what comes of it. Ubuntu it is.
Should also mention that I am on an average usage plan over the year with my power company. Not per month. It gets adjusted once a year in January. Bring on the wood heat!!!!

xvi · Oct 8, 2014

Very disappointed in them this time around. I ordered two 1366 waterblocks from them, and the order sat for two days in "processing." I sent them a message through their site and got no direct response, but "magically" that day my order went from processing to shipped. Fine, whatever. I get the package on a Friday (not time), have an overbooked Saturday (no time), and finally get around to installing them Sunday evening. I get one block out of the box and get it mock-mounted to start running tubing. I take the second block out if it's box and realize they sent me a S775 block, not a S1366 block. I'm obviously frustrated at this point because I can't go on, so I stop and go about my business. Later that night or Monday morning I sent them another message through their site saying that I want them to ship me the correct block with a label for return shipping (it's not my fault that they sent the wrong part and I feel I shouldn't have to pay to get this fixed). Here it is Wednesday and I've still received no response, no messages on my account for their site or anything. I'm pissed. :mad:

manofthem · Oct 8, 2014

@t_ski sorry to hear about that, that is a terrible experience to be sure.

I wish I could go take care of it for ya, Hook style

Norton · Oct 8, 2014

I thought my experience with that vendor was bad when my package went to Puerto Rico for a few days... your experience beat mine by a full point on the that suck's meter

Nordic · Oct 9, 2014

My new motherboard arrived today instead of on monday next week so that was nice. 3570k will be up sooner than expected and pictures will be taken.

Norton · Oct 9, 2014

I may be on/offline for awhile trying to figure out what happened to it??? :banghead:
