I kind of noticed. The CPU test screen was really sluggish with my E6600 rig but it flew with FX.Quote:

I was originally going for Xeon quad core, but... everyone quad was with intel rig. So, I figured I'd go for AMD. :)
Very nice rig you have!
I'm just waiting for AMD to release 65nm versions before I build a quad core.
In what way could a QFX70 rig possibly "own" a Q6600 rig other than BTU's produced? :confused:Quote:

Congrats on the impressive new system.
how mcuh does it costs?? with mobo and 2 cpus??
mmm, watercooling...
those fans in the middle would be an easy place to mount a big rad, if they're 120s (but they look like 92s.... maybe you could replace them with 120s with a little hacksaw action and mount a triple rad... would be nice)
The prices were in Canadian dollars.Quote:

374 for one CPU. Should be around 340ish USD if you find right seller.
So, aroind 700 for the two CPU.
Mobo, I bought for 353 CAD. So, it should be around 320ish in USD.
So, a grand in USD.
6600 scores 2100 @ 2.4ghz, 4000 @ 4600mhz. Nice build, good job going against the grain ;)
very nice, whats the power consumption like? have you tried using one of those measuring things you plug between your comp and the power plug to see how much wattage it takes? That would be real interesting!
Someone asked me to take a screenshot of "Core temp" on this rig and post the shot in this thread.
So, here it is.

got my FX-70s in on Tuesday...gotta love AMD. :)

Hey buddy, great system. Could you run CINEBENCH 9.5? I'm very interested in the quad fx's scores since I need a new renderslave.
Ok so maybe I got a tad excited with the word "own", sorry guys.:slapass:Quote:

I never felt good running 70c+&- as it is so close to shutting off the system.
That is the thermal scheme the BIOS runs...80C for 20 min or what?
Been 60c to 70c depending on day and night for days.Quote:

Hello,
I was thinking about x CPU rendering, single cpu rendering is not that interesting for me.

Nice system...:eek:
Too bad it's a total waist of processing power... 4 cores for NAS....:slap:
Q6600 3.2ghz...i'll try 2.6ghz tomorow
Incase you don't read AT ALL, it's also his rendering rig. Even says it in his sig.Quote:

That reminds me of a few months back when one of the hacks at The Inq (Charlie?) cited C2Q's multi-core performance in Cinebench 9.5 as a shining example of how horribly castrated it was by Intel's antiquated FSB because it didn't show a 4x improvement with 4 cores. :fact:
IIRC, some 2S Opteron systems showed a very slight advantage over C2Q (3.3x?). That's nice but hardly a substitute for C2's IPC and clock speed potential advantages.
what about higher voltage, eg. 1.6V ?Quote:

aluminium 9700 in not good, you would better install 2x Big Typhoons
and Vista 6000 to utilize NUMA :)
