Hi, 2 x 5860 Xeon cpu`s both with 6 cores each, so 2x6 = 12 cores (24 if you turn on hyperthreading) on a dual EVGA SR2 Motherboard ... So this makes 12 cores and 24 vitual with hyperthreading turned on which it is not :D http://www.evga.com/articles/00537/images/full.png As for the cost Paul has me...

Hi, I was surprised you thought this, I ran some engines for a couple of minutes just to see what there initial thought were: Analysis by Stockfish 1.8 JA 64bit: 11...e5 12.a4 b4 13.Nc4 Re8 14.Nc2 Nb6 15.Nxb6 Qxb6 16.Ne3 ...

Hi Dr D, BIOS updates these days are usually simple and pain free although in the past as you say these updates could cause many a problem. I think NATIONAL12s comp may have to be slowed down to 4.2Ghz as the room he uses is already running a skulltrail and a quad machine (not sure if the quad is on...

I had been testing 22x196 but it seems around 190 is the max for the motherboard and although it ran and completed some benchmarks it was not totally stable. For anyone wanting to try the same...

Hi, I was egged on to break a certain KNS with Rybka which I did below although the KNS was jumping around a bit, I had to increase the speed a little. I must admit Pauls comp was not stable at this point on all benchmarks and I had a few BSOD`s so the speed has been dropped back to 4.3Ghz ... To ge...

Hi Still trying things with Pauls comp, I had to increase the vcore a little more and although Paul feels happy enough with one of the cores hitting 70C when the machine is fully loaded I do not think I want to push it any further on air cooling, don`t get me wrong I feel there is still more under t...

Hi, I updated the BIOS to the A47 one which added a few new options and is supposed to help memory OC ... An option in the BIOS is EXTREME COOLING which has 2 modes, the first for below 0C and the second for below -50C but that is all it says and does not give any clues t what it does, maybe it incr...
