yosarianilives Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) I thought only up to 6 core xeons were allowed? @Leeghoofd Edited August 14, 2019 by yosarianilives Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted August 14, 2019 Crew Posted August 14, 2019 Dogpile is anything you can lay your hands on as long as it is a single processor....and DDR3 1 Quote
Jumper118 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 It does not say they aren't in the competition limitations and rules? It says 1 processor ie single socket and that server cpus are allowed ie Xeons and opterons. I don't see a reason they would limit Xeons to 6 cores only when the amd fx is allowed which is 8 cores. I think the highest core xeon is 12 or 14 cores for this platform and it wouldn't be faster than a 4770k anyway due to the very low clock speeds. Quote
Jumper118 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 There are also ddr3 opterons that are 16 core as well. Quote
Jumper118 Posted August 14, 2019 Posted August 14, 2019 @Leeghoofd thanks for clearing that up! Quote

Comp thread says 6 cores, but rules page does not so was confused. Anyways, if anyone can get a Ddr3 lga 2011-1 board to run some e7 v3/v4 xeons for sweet 24 core Haswell action. Should get 60-80 fps, and only for about $5k on ebay Quote

Jumper118 Posted August 15, 2019 Posted August 15, 2019 I have just seen the 15 cores are only £60 ? shame the cheapest board is £1700 XD Quote
