What to do with so many cores/threads though? Obviously off screen rendering but what else?

 

[alucasa]

Let WCG guys know. They will grab those in heart beat, heh.

I do rendering, mainly on CPU, so I need moar cores. Though there is no way I'd replace my oem v3 2683 with this early ES. The CPU is hardly broadwell. It's way too early sample.

Was fun while it lasted.

Made me daydream.

 

[natr0n]

I'm gonna wait a few days see what happens before doing anything.

I contacted the seller to see if they reply at all.

 

[alucasa]

I seriously doubt it was legit. No matter how early an ES is, a 18c/36t Broadwell don't go cheap. It used to go for 999 on Ebay.

So now that @Knoxx29 is unaffiliated with the Xeon name, and the ex-president of the Xeon Club who should we elect to take his place?

I still have my Xeon Server

Sorry for double post but:

I want to upgrade something on my PC

1) Buy 250GB SSD
2) Swap the 6GB kit for a 12GB kit of RAM (3x2 vs 3x4) - Will the Xeon or system in general benefit that much?

Which way would you go?

The answer to this is SSD all the way. If you are still using a platter drive, I couldn't imagine booting that thing up. I hated working on my kids' PC because of the slow spinner in it. Since then I have replaced it with an SSD and it's a pretty awesome sleeper now (doesn't look like a rocket but it is - 2700K and 16GB of ram with a 7770 - ok, it needs a GPU upgrade...).

However, if you do some investigating on your PC and find your are bumping up against your upper ram limits, them buy both.

I am on a limited budget at the moment and both will cost around the same, therefore I have to choose one.

To be honest, I find my PC bumping into Paging more than occasionally, I guess I should go RAM first..

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

Why not compromise with a 120gb ssd. ? Save a little more and get the RAM at a later date.

 

[FilipM]

Samsung 850 Evo prices:

120GB - 72 eur
250GB - 100 eur

 

[alucasa]

Hit ebay.

I grabbed 128gb SSD for 29 USD. It was new, too, according to SMART data.

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

mine was £ 32.00

What kind of Ram are you looking for?

Maybe i can help.

Something like this?

 

[FilipM]

3 sticks of 4GB, CAS9 @1600MHz, preferably 1.65V (but not sure if that matters for the total IMC voltage and voltage needed for OC, if it doesn't, 1.50V is fine.)

I was looking at this as Kingston is the most available brand here and I got the same but in 2GB sticks

I have Kingston but 1333MHz and each block 2GB

 

[biffzinker]

Well if I'd of known you were looking for Kingston DDR3-1600/1333 at 1.5/1.65v (set of 8 GB) I'd of made a offer free of charge besides shipping.

 

[Random Murderer]

All this talk of RAM... anybody have any triple-channel kits they'd be willing to part with, either for free or cheap? I'd like to get the P6T system on at least 12GB of matched RAM and am having a hell of a time finding a decent deal online...
