Hi Currently have an i5 2500k@4.6Ghz running -advmethods and getting around 20-21,000 ppd. Considering selling it and paying an extra £70ish for the i7 2600k. Anyone have one? If so, what can I expect whilst running -advmethods and also whilst running -bigadv? Want to know if it is worth the extra dosh as cash is a little tight....
2600K @ 4.5Gig 24/7 -bigadv linux approx 50K PPD depending on WU If you are buying for folding 2600K well worth the extra money imo
Cheers guys. Sounds like a plan. Now to convince the missus.... Hopefully there will be an i5 2500k in the for sale section soon and a i7 2600k in the post for me
Which is exactly what my i5 2500k draws as well... thats with a P8P67 and 2x4Gb of RAM. The PPD/Watt of these is just stupid. Beat even an SR2 I think...
It's a close run thing. SR-2 rig # 1 gets 218K ppd on a fast bigadv whilst pulling 600w from the wall. You'd need 4 2600K rigs to match the ppd which together may require slightly more power. Of course, it almost goes without saying that Bulldozer and then Ivy Bridge will completely blow SR-2 out the water on the ppd/w front.
Bear in mind when Z68 comes out you can overclock the 2600K and use onboard graphics, so probably a good 50W minimum saving to be had, compared with a gt240 fitted but not used on p67.
