Does that ram work with that board? Asus only list two modules in their QVL and each stick of that is 100 quid.

If that ram is compatible well that's a whole different ball game, I'd looked at the 8 core E5 2630 v3 for 510 quid. Price doesn't look so bad then.

No it doesn't

Updated with compatible RAM

However its not so bad, with 2 CPU's you can run with 2, 4 or 8 DIMMS populated

Ebay is your friend (international traders)

I'm not going down that route again for a long time :eek:

Biffa I dunno what you are doing to me you are making it all seem very doable, particularly the ram as I thought I'd need eight sticks but you basically saying I only need 4 to get going. Plus I have 2 780ti so the cards can come off the list, unless I actually added two more 780ti, they are very good deals on them atm, I could also check MM as well now I have access.

Plus it'll look freekin awesome in my Midas build

I have a Samsung sm-t320 tablet and a Galaxy s5 both of them have a qualcomm snapdragon 800 4 core cpu but boinc only runs on two cores of the sg5 and 4 on the tablet?
I suppose it's down to thermal loading as the phone is getting quite warm with two instances running :eek:

I was thinking about it when I saw Hanluc out produce me yesterday but then I saw how much the shipping was and realised I just couldn't afford it :rolleyes:

You can run 4 on your SG5 if you want to, just go into Preferences and change it. My SG4 doesn't get too hot running on 3 cores and setting battery level down to 50% means I don't have to have it plugged into the mains all the time and can use it as a phone

Well there's another 2 cores for the cause

Gents, I'm getting stuck offshore for another week, which means mega OT payment for me.

So found one Asus Z10PE-D8-WS in stock in the UK and promptly bought it

Need to find the ram and also decide which V3's to use. I know its too late for Skynet but hey it'll be available in the future once I'm home long enough to actually build it.
