mangi Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Hi Magneto, on your config you made you need a 2011-3 CPU starting one could be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117402 LGA 2011-v3 I7 Hasswell 4770k is not compatible with MSI X99 cheers mangi Edited November 25, 2014 by mangi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freaq Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) ALARM! your CPU and motherboard are different sockets!!!!check out pcpartpicker.com it helps you with these thingsalso I'd reccommend going for a 6 core cpu atm , not much pricier and 2 cores extra will help a lot (assuming your stuff is VOPS or otherwise threaded)review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/8426/the-intel-haswell-e-cpu-review-core-i7-5960x-i7-5930k-i7-5820k-tested Edited November 26, 2014 by freaq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks guys, I just assumed Haswell is x99. Stupid me Other than i7 5820k, everything else is awesome? I am not buying now but I wanna pin point the best system at this point in time so I can compare @marty: Do you get responsiveness if you run out of RAM?

Guest tar Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Haven't run out Ram yet Always testing different drive setups and this is the smoothest combination so far. Edit: just tested a single 7200rpm seagate barracuda for comparison- ~115MB write/read. Edited November 26, 2014 by tar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangi Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Haven't run out Ram yet Just curious Marty, how much ram is on your PC build. Cheers Thanks Mangi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Hey mangi - 32GB in the current build. Was looking at installing more but couldn't think of a need currently. Sesi keep optimising the software and OsX/Linux seems pretty good. I also like to use less data so it's quicker to process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangi Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Thank´s Marty . With Regards to Magneto´s PC Build. For a PC build that would be cool for Houdini and have RAM up to 128 GB. Not to really over kill the price. ...............................................

magneto Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Is that Xeon better than i7-5820k? If I am not wrong, the xeon system comes to $3k minimum without a GFX card. I wonder when 16GBs trickle down to consumers and more importantly when Intel is gonna allow this. I like how the Intel employee is trying to avoid answering the question honestly: https://communities.intel.com/thread/54747 "Will i7-5930K support 128GB RAM?"

mangi Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Well for starters it has more max ram and ecc ram the 5820k is max 64 RAM and not ECC Basically to go for the 128 GB there are no 16 GB NON ECC sticks and the 5820 K only handles 64 GB the 8 x 16 = 128 Edited November 26, 2014 by mangi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 I hope we can get 16GB non ECC sticks before the end of 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really worth heading to a good computer shop, custom setups etc, they'll be able to answer properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magneto Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Btw that guy asking on the Intel forum is not me I tried registering but their registration is so stupid that it didn't let me. I forgot what the issue was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
