Hey there to all those that can help,
It is time for me to move on from my current setup. I have been running for the last 4-5 years an EVGA SR2 with x5670 @ 4.2 ghz on water and average 70-80k ppd on this setup. I have the need to upgrade now to another 2p system. E5-26** -v3 processors are reasonable for me in price now and I wold like to make a jump. This is pretty much a WCG dedicated computer that runs 24/7. What I am asking for is a little bit advice on which way to go. I would like a 12+ core per CPU system on a 2p board. I usually purchase Supermicro boards for server CPUs. But there has been so much change in the CPU landscape in the last 1-2 years that it is impossible for me to look up all possible combinations and how they would perform. I am looking to see what some recommendations would be. Power use is not really a concern for me but I would still like to be as efficient as possible within reason. I know running 2 180 W TDP processors means at least 500-600 watts at the wall which is OK for me. So please fell fee to comment away. Budget will be $1,500 for CPUs and Motherboard. I will reuse my case, water cooling setup and 1200 watt PSU so I can spend where it will benefit the new setup most.
