damn.... what a renderwhore!
Im aiming for a "quad-whore" at the and of this year...

how are the temperatures for this baby?

BTW: such an awsome rig, but zour Cam seems to suck

25 on idle mode..and 50 on full load and overclocked......quad cpus produce much more heat than core duo....
i have test my machine with some other clasic aerocooling and sucks...75-80 celsius on rendering....and with cool environment....
now will come summer in greece...and its still cool!

yes this is my mobile camera and suck!

What, you didn't spring for the LN2?
Amateur.

And going through all that trouble is a pain - don't get me wrong, I was at one time a super overclocker, I spent tons of time tweaking, and lapping, and Prime95'ing.

So I'm keeping my main machine modest and spending money on render farm boxen.

BTW I've found that chicks do indeed NOT care for bragging about how fast your render farm is. Or perhaps I should shower.

hi radiance...what scene u prefer to render and how long?

Kosmokrator · Post by **Kosmokrator** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 4:10 am

ok people.....i have make one test for 10 minutes on my machine with the
caustic_participating_media_test.igs scene.i attach the log file for the samples and other rendering parameters...also the final image...make your concusions about "speed"

Oh man..
I did a test and it took 6.5 minutes on my 2 ghz amd to reach 19.2222 samples per pixel. It took only 11 seconds on your cpu. Now that is a huge speed difference

I'm sure going to get one of those quads soon.

If I were you I would wait for the incoming cryogenized dodecacore, really neat with it's bioluminescent display ! I for one would never invest into "newest technologies" again, before it becomes a cheap standard !

12 cores in one PC?

why are you overclocking it? with the expensiveness of quadcore and the default speed of quad core, is it realy worth the risk?

suvakas · Post by **suvakas** » Sun Apr 22, 2007 5:59 pm

Overclocking multi-core cpu should give quite noticeable speed bump i think.
The speed gets multiplied by amount of cores.
