Has anyone on here ordered an SR-X or is thinking about it? Bouncing around OCN, EVGA, and [H] forums it seems the folding community, including myself, is quite disappointed with the SR-X; which is 100% understandable considering everything.
I've seen some results of extra spicy chips folding in a 2P setup and the TPF is higher then that of a stock 4P 6174 setup. I'm just curious if anyone has yet, or has near future plans, of picking an SR-X and a pair of retail 2687W chips and bumping them up using the turbo and the small "~5% OC" that EVGA has mentioned might be possible.
Just trying to get some numbers down as so far it seems to be a huge disappointment. I myself was hoping to pick up an SR-X or more preferably, the 2P board that Asus is bringing to market. However if even using turbo and the small 5% OC and these setups aren't matching, or coming damn close to my 4P 6174 setup then there really is no point.
Before any "why would you even bother" comments come in the only reason I'm considering an 2P E5 setup is because my only current rig is a 4P 6174 and I've been looking at building a rig that can pump out some solid numbers but also allow me to use it for everyday application in Windows; hence the need for a 2P compared to a 4P.
Kind of sad a $3000 AMD setup is killing a $5000 Intel setup
Thanks all!
