The new EP-2600 V2's (upto 48 Hyperthread cores - 24 each) look to be quite good for a two CPU set-up.....thoughts?

Well I've bought the CPU's and half the RAM, if my CC lets me I'll order the mobo, heatsinks and the rest of the ram before the weekend.

EP-2600 V2, yes if you can find one at all, or if so for less than remortgage price, let alone a ES one! :eek:

I think the 2695 looks like a good bet with 12 cores and a 2.4Ghz base speed, probably will boost to 3.1 maybe.

Hi, I found some FAH benchmark results for Xeon E5-2600 v2. I think it's not bad at all:

Code:

P8101: avg TPF=13m40s, PPD=344k P8102: avg TPF=10m38s, PPD=501k P8105: avg TPF=10m44s, PPD=482k

CPU is Xeon E5-2600 v2 2.0GHz 12c24t x2 (allcore turbo 2.4GHz), with SM X9DAi board and 4G DDR3 1333 memory x8.

Yes took longer than the weekend unfortunately, plus I had to buy the RAM from 4 different suppliers including Amazon :confused:

but at least I had free delivery from each one. Still waiting for the letter from UK customs to pay the bill before the CPU's will be delivered.

Holy 1 million PPD only from using the 4 Xeons Batman!!!

Are these unlocked in some way Biffa? Or do they run 3.1 stock on turbo?

Biffa · 7 Aug 2013 at 15:35

3.1 Turbo on all cores.

Hukkel · 8 Aug 2013 at 11:07

Are these overclockable?
Perhaps with the baseclock?

I concur

Talking about electricity costs, would a spreadsheet that calculates monthly costs based on wattages be useful? :eek:

Biffa · 15 Aug 2013 at 00:00

Ooh lordy thats going to hurt

Thanks oceaness! LOL

I don't think that you should be looking at such thing biffa :eek:

, you will probably turn green if you see it written down , ( even though you know your electricity is sky high in your head )

that's something people forget, not only are you donating huge amounts of work, you electricity is huge amounts also

I think you deserve to be saluted haha

Biffa · 15 Aug 2013 at 13:32

Thanks, I think its something that all of us have to come to terms with. Unfortunately I have one of those digital thingamywotsits that tells me at a glance how much my monthly bill is going to be :eek:

I agree I'm currently frustrated with the fact my Electricty usage is about £40 a month, let alone the kinda of money the big producers like Biffa must be spending, respect to them for that it's a huge commitment. No doubt mine will go up a bit since I've started my 2 computers folding again, only on the CPU's at least to try and minimize the impact on my bank account.

I have one of the plug-in things lying around somewhere, but I've just requested a free Energy Smart monitor from British Gas that will monitor the total.

This spreadsheet is handy for pre-build analysis using this PSU calculator for a rough idea of wattage. If anyone's interested click the image to download it.
