I just got offered a 2500K but I really want a 2600K, I am going to hold out

I would hold out for the 2600K as it has hyper-threading

More threads for crunching power :toast:

Zachary85 said:
Hi Peeps. I just joined your team yesterday. I hope you guys have room for one more wcg cruncher. My old team just sort of imploded a few months ago, granted it was a small team, but it just didn't seem to be any fun with me being the only cruncher that was still crunching wcg. ....... so.. Hello

Welcome aboard!!!

A core with hyperthreading vs. a core without is about a 30% performance increase. Not huge, but significant. I agree with Hammer, though, your combo is worth a 2600k, hold out.

I've seen other forums and...well, TPU was a fit for me. I registered for an opinion on my first major build, not only did I get excellent advice but I also got a warm welcome. Here it's all about technology and fun. I love TPU @stinger > :nutkick:

brandonwh64 · Dec 2, 2011

The board my wife picked up!

(FIH) The Don · Dec 2, 2011

a floppy connector? srsly?

anyway, you'll be happy with SB

I thought that as well, I would rather have a spare IDE instead of floppy personally.

(FIH) The Don · Dec 2, 2011

yeah if it HAS to be a old connector i''d take IDE any day

brandonwh64 · Dec 2, 2011

This is one of the better mATX boards, I would have to say though that the ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z would be the best of the mATX 1155 board.

(FIH) The Don · Dec 2, 2011

the p8p67m-pro is a VERY good board aswell, it almost matches MIV Gene

Chicken Patty · Dec 2, 2011

The color scheme of that board is awesome. :rockout:

Radical_Edward · Dec 2, 2011

So I'm thinking about getting this server mobo and processors to use here. But I just don't know if I have the room. I think my max crunchers is 3. So I wanted to give anyone here at tpu first pick on it.

It's a Supermicro motherboard X6DH3-G3 with 2 intel Xeon Nocona CPUs, 2GB DDR2 ECC Ram, and 2 copper intel heatsinks.

You getting rid of that?

Radical_Edward · Dec 2, 2011

Yeah, I just don't have space for it. I'm pretty sure this thing would make a decent home server. Maybe even a pretty good cruncher. (Both CPU's have Hyper Threading from what I've read.)

I don't have the case or anything like that thou. It's just the mobo, heatsinks, cpus, and ram.

Edit- Well I also have the connectors for the built in RAID card for 6 Sata drives.

Chicken Patty · Dec 2, 2011

These are single cores with HTT right? Have any idea what kinda PPD they'd put out?

Radical_Edward · Dec 2, 2011

Yeah, they are the single cores with HTT. I'd expect something along the lines of whatever a X3 would put out. But that's just a guess.

Shoot me a PM with the price you want to let it go for. :toast:

Chicken Patty · Dec 2, 2011

Got no power fellas. So I think I'm just gonna open the windows and hit the sack. Gotta work in the AM. I'll keep you guys posted. :toast:

Radical_Edward · Dec 5, 2011

So I got paid today and made a bit of a newegg order. :rockout:

Don't mind the cheap headset or the MX-2. Just some random tidbits I needed. :laugh:

Next month I plan to order a new mobo and DDR3 RAM. It's nice when you get a bonus. It really is.

Awesome bro! I was eyeballing one of those Silverstone cases the other day, for some reason I just felt like buying one. But I ended up getting the NZXT case from Peet. :toast:

Great little build so far. Any particular RAM/Board you have your eyes on?

Radical_Edward · Dec 6, 2011

That is the case Lauren choose for her new case.

The X6 is for my rig, and the mobo and ram I was looking at were these.
