Building a Pc for Crunching.

What Norton said, for a dedicated cruncher a cheapie no extra plug needed gpu or even a matx mobo is best. Helps keep the wattage down.

was just a mistake

Btw i've decide for the 2600k + Asus p8p67 + 250W Power Supply + 2x 2GB Kingston Hyper Blu 1.5v

Unless it's a good one, a 250W PSU would be pushing it for an OCed i7. Not that it would stop me from doing so :rolleyes:

but it's probably not a good choice

Knoxx, I have an OCed 2600k running under my account w/ Linux--you can find it somewhere in the list of my systems on Free-DC. It does quite a good job for something that isn't all that modern.

And the FX-6 is not a bad choice either--WCG likes all of the cores, even if power consumption is a bit high.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Feb 4, 2015

We have foumd out is more cores are better then less higher clocked cores.

Hi there.
As I said I will keep this Thread Updated.
I already have all components for the new Cruncher Build except the Power Supply, i have two Choices: Thermaltake or Be Quiet?
And how many Watts would be enough?

Cheers.

peche · Feb 18, 2015

between those 2 brands: Thermaltake, there is a edition for you my friend:

if is there more options seasonic,

i thing that 600W will be enough ... 80+ at least,

don't you think that 600W are a bit OverKill?

if i am not wrong someone here in the Forum told me that 300W would be enough.

peche · Feb 18, 2015

my bad, there its no video card, overclock and shit right?
my bad i think that just CPU+Ram +HDD/SSD+Mobo Will be enough for a 300W PSU, look at this one:

{Antec Basiq Series BP300P (300W) PSU / SMPS}
Antec quality, 300W and off curse the oddest color you may see....!

Just CPU+ Ram+Mobo+HDD, no OC and maybe an evga geforce 610 2gb.

If you buy a 250-300 W PSU you will never be able to use it in your next build and trust me- it will be a more power full one. Go for a decent 4-500 W (gold) and don't look back for the next 4-7 years.

correct my red lady still enough for such setup!
What do you think about it?

Would be ok but as i said i would like Thermaltake or Be Quiet, reasons? because i can get it easy and without order it on internet

this one would be ok, it is affordable
Corsair 500W Netzeil CP-9020047-EU CX500

€ 69,99

well in that case I think the smallest and safer PSU from Tt its going to be a TR2 430W, I've owned 2 of those, they are strong enough for your build,

Munich 430W 80+ Certified
http://de.thermaltake.com/Netzteile/German_Series_/German_Series/C_00001782/Munich_430W/design.htm

TR2 450W, 80+Bronze
http://de.thermaltake.com/Netzteile/TR2_Series_/TR2/C_00002412/TR2_450W_Bronze/design.htm
{So patriotic isn't it ?}

Smart 450W, 80+ Bronze
http://de.thermaltake.com/Netzteile/Smart_Series_/Smart/C_00001817/SMART_M450W/design.htm

The Strongest series from Tt, Toughpower DPS G 450W 80+Gold…{too expensive}
http://de.thermaltake.com/Netzteile...G/C_00002385/Toughpower_DPS_G_450W/design.htm

hope one of them will fit your needs,

I think we have different priorities when it comes to PSUs. I would never buy a poor one but that is because I'm poor and can't afford to buy the parts the poor one burnt when it blows. Get a AX or a similar decent one.

Edit: I can see that the good energy rated PSUs are not made in the 3-500 W range. The only exception (maybe) is the Super Flower (fanless) 500 W.

the same here but because its just for Crunching and money it is not a problem i dont want to go too expensive in order to save and buy other stuff.

otherwise i will get as always an Enermax Platimax and problem solved

A CX500 should be fine for you, ran an FX6200 with one crunching 24/7 for well over a year with no problems. Psu is still out there running in someone's farm somewhere

FireFox · Feb 18, 2015

This is some info i wrote in another Thread:

I got today a Power Meter VOLTCRAFT 4000 Pro and i am testing it with the Laptop Crunching and it says:
after 3 Hours using 60W I have consumed 0.16 Kwh and it cost €0.040.

is €0.040=0.40 cent?

Note: i saw some Bill but i didnt understand a lot but there is written 22,99 Ct/kWh :eek:

that is too expensive :mad:

Norton said:

definitely better to go for the 2500k instaed the FX6300? plus the Corsair?

Norton · Feb 18, 2015

2500k vs FX6300... 2500k is more cost, lower power usage, more resale value, more output...

Sorry, on my phone so detailed posts are difficult atm

FireFox · Feb 18, 2015

Norton said:
2500k is more cost, lower power usage

That is the point, the 2500k it uses less power than the FX6300, Right?

Norton · Feb 18, 2015

Correct!

Less power, more output, more cost..

FireFox · Feb 18, 2015

Norton said:

Sorry for my ignorance and my English,
It's worth the 2500k or Fx6300?

if you have the enough money it will be nice to have it, norton its putting things into a balance, price against consumption ...
Cheap = AMD
Expensive = Intel
***
power hungry = AMD
decent consumption = Intel

Better the decent one consumption

@peche do you know how to delete a Machine from the World Community Grid Data base?

My mistake, I don't even though about it

I will turn off the Pentium becasue it uses 133W and it does just 2 Works Vs my Asus laptop that use just 60W and it does 4 Works.

less power consumption always means $avings!
