    Crunching comparison 2600K and 3770K

    Thought it wouldn't do any harm to have this info so anyone who has these feel free to add anything.

    I have my 3770K in an Asus 5 gene and would be happy to recommend that MB. It is my first with UEFI so I have been learning. Overclockers dream, very forgiving and will clock ram for fun.

    So, the 3770k in the gene currently running 4.7 so that comparisons are easier. It has 8gb 1600 samsung green ram running 2200 10,10,10,21 at the moment. I may get that faster or tighter...we'll see

    for comparison My 2600k is in a ud4 running @ 4.7 with 4gb corsair 1600 ram running 7,8,7,24 and has one Samsung 103j 1TB HDD the same type fitted to the other rig

    First observation is that hooked up to the same cooling and using the same water blocks and Tim, the IB is running an average of 10 degrees hotter which makes me wonder if reduced clocks may be in order in hotter climes.

    It will take a week to get some results from the 2600K as just now it is on sustainable water only so bear with me on that but I think that completion times should give us a clue here

    From memory I would say that Hcc completes in around 0.1 hours quicker ...The few results so far show a range of 0,89 to 0.99hrs to complete

    EDIT:Now that things are stable and before I start presenting results some final info;

    I consider the slight improvement here could be both mem speed and cpu imc related and as such I should not try to match as this is just better performance from newer tech/availability of cheaper higher speed ram.

    2 Memory and Cache screenshots of..... Hell read them yourself



    Ambients at time of the next two = 18.5° Air in to rad, 20.2° water from rad remember both rigs cooled by this system and both use EK HF and ICD



    Voltages: The SB 2600K has been at this voltage for a year. The IB 3770K was LinX and Prime stable on 1.26 but gave me errors so Bumped higher for safety which has pushed the temps up again. This needs more time to find the true safe crunching voltage.

    Max ambient today was around 25°-26° From the above the SB max average is 56° IB max average is almost 68°

    First up will be the results from both machines crunching Fight Aids @home

    Incidentally although you will see differing completion times, WCG shows the following TARGET completion times;

    2600K = 3:34:09 and 3770K = 3:51:27

    Make of that what you will
