Yes, that's what I figured.

The days where raw cpu speed was the main thing are over with the advent of gpu crunching.

Seems the little i3 can keep up with Q6600's and does so using a lot less...

Greetings :)

To cut a long story short I installed a pair of 5850's into my i7 rig and one card appeared to be faulty (I later discovered)as all I got was a black screen.

When I shut down and...

FWIW, when all are running I have.....

4 i7's/2 x4's/a few X2's/one E6300/4 Q6600's/an i3 530.

Quite a few already run at stock (Dells).:D

On the gpu side:

5970/5870/2 x 5830/2 x 5850/5 x...

Yeah I know this is a board for 'clockers but please bear with me.

What I am wondering is:

Wether the gains from cpu overclocking are worth it when taking into account the...

Funky pie design :):up:

FAO Dave.

Sent you a message :)

BTW, Hi, been a while!

Hmmm, my spidey-senses keep telling me the 860 combo is the best option?

Greetings. :)

Looking to add one more rig to my crunching arsenal so I can retire slower rigs.
Of the following two platform combinations which would you choose for price/performance?

Note...

Yup, as ever it's the stupid hard disc drive bays that get in the way....they should all adopt removable drive cages.
Guess I should get the toolbox out and do a bit of hacking, cos I know if I buy...

Greetings :)

I have a motherboard with PCI-e x16 and also PC1-e x4.

What does one use the x4 for?

Can a second gpu be used in that slot to run SLI/Crossfire?....or both cards independently?...

What would be considered decent VRM temps?

Also, In GPU-z what temp readings are they?
Apologies for my naivete......gpu's aren't my thing.

GPU is just a cruncher.

Currently running 800...

Hi :)

Just bought a 5970 and my case is like 1mm too blooming short for the card to fit.

So my 5970 is currently residing in a Dell :eek::D....Talk about xtreme :D

Anyways, on to my...

Greetings. :)

Can anyone tell me what sort of clocks the 5970 reaches at "out of the box" voltages?

6 years.

Who's more annoying?

Simon Cowell or Ja Ja Binks? lol

"If you were in LA looking for a good time, where would you go?"

The airport :D

Next major upgrade.........CPU or GPU?

I tried search function before posting and it returned nothing.
If this is a duplicate just nuke it.

Only one thing missing.........Boinc ;)

Nope.

SOURCING THE ELECTRICITY NO BETTER THAN A BOG STANDARD PETROL VEHICLE.

wILL STICK TO WALKING THANKS :)

iGNORE THE CAPS :p:

Crunching: Bio-med or physical science?

Car?....What car?....Never had one, never will.
Noisy polluting piles of junk :D

I rarely eat but get the other even less so......sex. :D

Workaholic or minimum possible?

Me workaholic, mainly cos I have no life :rolleyes:

Agreed.

WCG for you, Poem for me.

Been waiting forever for a Poem@home GPU client.
By time it shows up my cards won't be able to run it :rolleyes:

Collatz is better for nvidia and now that Slicker has gone back to Comcast the server seems to be behaving.

I would advise the other way around.......Collatz with Dnet as the backup.....assuming...

Yuk, red.

XtremeSlackers :p:

Could you not have less discs, with higher capacity or are you already using big drives?

Would lessen both power consumption AND heat......could maybe lose a fan or two as well.

Life got in the way for a while but now I am giving this forum another shot.

Please stop by and lend your support.....the more people join, the more successful it shall be.
