So... Did you do the thing? :)
I have an NH-D14 on a 3930K and it's Overclocked from 3.2 to 4.3GHz 24hr P95 stable. IIRC the 3930K does ~123W at idle and ~235W at load on stock setup... I've been considering going to a Skylake 6800K to save electricity as my system runs 24/7. Your feedback...
All great feedback, mage and nathan.
I considered a cluster or a small rack mount, but he takes his computer with him to the houses he's had constructed and does some new rendering on site for people during open house (these are multi-million dollar homes... the last open house I attended was...
I'm building a workstation for a client that does architectural design. He uses programs like Sketchup (single core), Maya (multi-core) and VRay (multi-core). His current build is an older i7 960 with 12GB's of RAM, and he's not happy with the speed of his renders (the renders reach a few gigs...
Thank you for your quick answer. Let me ask a question more geared to the answer I need. :)
Am I correct in assuming a quad-channel set up on a dual-processor board still needs, at minimum, four DIMMs? Rather than four DIMMs per processor? :)
How do I get the maximum memory bandwidth from this board?

Looking for ECC Registered DDR3-1600 memory, because I'm paring it with a pair of Intel Xeon E5-2687W . Not sure how quad-channel works on a dual-socket board. Do I fill up all the slots or just certain ones?
I will say that I ordered exclusively from Newegg until this past year. Not from horrible customer experience - quite the contrary I had an excellent experience with Newegg the few times I called them in November. One of the SSD's in my Serverglitch build (see signature) was DoA and preventing...
I know it's socket 2011, I was wondering if I got a dual-socket board, if I could run two 3930k's in it instead of two xeons. Can't seem to find an answer on this one. Thanks ahead of time.
Hand the phones over to the guys at Mythbusters and let them come up with a repeatable test that can be tested on all phones. Hell, I'm sure anyone that passed a high school science class can come up with a test without overly expensive equipment.
Assuming the phones all land on a solid...
EDIT: No need for additional offers, I just got a Dell Precision M6500 17" i7 with 1920x1200 resolution from eBay :) Thank you all for your kind offers, good luck with your sales!
Looking for a 17" laptop with an intel i5 or better processor, must have 1920 x 1200 resolution...
decided to find a laptop that has wuxga (1920 x 1200) 17" screen instead. Gonna cost a grip but I'd be happier with it since my laptop doesn't have HDMI and I can't seem to find a replacement board from a different model that does uuggghhh
