I am posting here as I hope this may help someone else to make a decision about a 4P E-5 box. Thanks Alias
Reading this thread got me thinking that a 4P E5 setup might suit me better than another 4P G34.
So buttocks clenched I ordered a X9QRi-F+, 4X ES 4650 CPU’s C0 stepping,
8 sticks...
I upgraded the bios to V4 and am getting this after installing the OCing utility
EDIT: I worked it out!
my knowledge of ubuntu only goes as far as it allows me to set up folding
I have 4 X 6128 watercooled. At the moment they are folding at 38c, but unfortunately on the H8QGL, so it may be some time before I can post OC results. But if they can OC over 2.5, they must be one of the better $ per PPD out there.
Haha! my sons train is pulling about half a watt from rechargable batteries.
Whereas the i7 920 and 2 GTX580's are pulling about 780w. Not good PPD/Watt.
