Supercomputing week?

[anubis]

I know..i know...

Im a young and restless man. You do remember how that was?

[Rob_B]

Any week in November is fine by me. Still have plenty of time to get my farm ready. Yes, it is starting to look like a farm. Before this weekend I will have 4 generations of i7 cpu's running.

[nanoprobe]

Lets go for Nov 1-8 ok?
I will do a mass mailing on Wednesday..
Sorry for being so slow on this but for the first time in years life really has stuck it's nose into my business.

Coulda been worse and stuck it somewhere else. BWHAHAHAHA! (Sorry MM, I just couldn't help myself. Just keep on keepin on and get better)

[Sparky]

You mean like the 4770K+ASRock Pro 4 board for 393 with an additional $30-50 off?

Frankly not tempting. I cannot come close to justifying over $300

[OldChap]

I have an itchy trigger finger...but Christmas is soooo close.

[yojimbo197]

Yeah, some guy is trying to unload dual quad core XW6600 workstations for $100 a piece. Trying to resist the urge.

I'd stay away from them..4770K is the one today to build..3770K isn't bad if it's cheap and same with the 2600K but the 4770K is the one you want

[jspace]

I've been preparing for this anyway.
I need to keep it above freezing in here somehow.

How are the 4770ks doing compared to the 3770k can't really one on free-dc, was going to do another build here soon.

A good 15% better from what i see..

[Evantaur]

i HADto watercool my 4770K cause it was boiling with the stock fan, 3770K was all Fonzie tho

[Rob_B]

I'm not sure about what the 4770k will do, but the little I have seen about them around here looks good. Like MM said, a good increase compared to the 3770k.

Temps could be a problem. The 2600k I have doesn't have any problems. The my 3770 (at stock speeds) runs hot. That is with the stock cooler and an extra 120mm fan on top of it.

For the 4770k I have a Noctua cooler ready. But if needed I can swap it with the 2600k and use the watercooling. The 2600k should do fine on air.

[Kingcarcas]

That's every week! Well i don't have much horsepower though...

[NKrader]

yep, my opti's will stay on, i dont have much else to put up, but these guys run 24/7 anyways

[D_A]

Have to rebuild the 4-8 pin adaptor to get my Q6600 up and running. Old one didn't look real good. Burnt a couple of wires off, actually. Surprised it was still running.

Go linux for SCW, use 16gb USB thumbdrive - it's enough.

if only i could use logmein on linux, but i will not scrap a 30$ android app for a few extra points per day

[D_A]

I use a free Android app and ssh to administer linux machines in the house if I can be bothered doing it from a tiny assed touch screen.

I just installed that Linux Mint SSD that arrived here two weeks ago.. Would help if I actually was able to get into it..
They didn't tell me what to use for username and password!

[OldChap]

User = 4 letters, pw = 8 letters.

Both might have something to do with you

Going to change your title to "Xtreme Ballbuster"
Wish me luck!
