tweakboy just pulled the trigger on 3 parts. CPU/RAM/Mobo

[tweakboy]

When I saw this thread, my first thought was "good thing you're not posting from CT, tweakboy".

What is that supposed to mean. whats CT ?

 

[ShadowVVL]

tweakboy, which DAW software do you use, specifically?

He said sonar x2 producer in a earlier post.

Thanks, I didn't see that before.

OP can't be serious. Hes not buying a new rig. Hes pulling everyone's chain. But, in the odd case that he is serious, then i'd go with a 3930k like you said you were already set on. I have a hard time believing that it won't be fast enough for along time. You can expect a safe and easy to manage 4.2-4.3ghz with a cooler like H80 or H100 for long duration work loads. It will last long enough for Ivy-E prices to finally fall to something more reasonable than the release prices. Remember, the first release of the Ivy-E will likely be expensive as hell and might be labeled an extreme chip for $1,000.00 It might take another 3-6 months for the $500 part to release.

LoL and ill be rocking Broadwell replacing my Haswell
For around that 500$ price range

With all new stuff DDR4 while socket 2011 will be dated.

 

[tweakboy]

Im not pulling no ones chain I swear it.

Ook Im ordering part tonight........

I need it to be 2011 I choose Sabertooth x79 with a 3820 for now and upgrade later to Ivy E 6 core 12 thread.

 

[tweakboy]

and 3820 has HT support so its 8 threads. the no K means its locked in the multi, but not the bus.

Ivy-E is a year away....

If you really want socket 2011 Buy a used socket 2011 set up with a 3930k atleast.

 

[tweakboy]

Thinking about it hokies83 my friend.... 2011 will alow Ivy E CPU. So I think I will get the 3820 and upgrade in a year or two.

 

[tweakboy]

Is there a cheaper X79 board 2011 ??? Sabertooth has quad channel and 64GB ram.

I dont want to lose those 2 things. Can I get a mobo for 200ish from ASUS.. thx gl

 

[ginfest]

Does that mean we'll see more colors in your sig?

:thumbsup::biggrin:

 

[ensign_lee]

Hokiez problem once again is I need 64GB RAM I need 8 dimms I need 2011 because Im going to upgrade to Ivy E when it comes out probably Q1 of 2014 I guess.

It sucks I would get the 3770k if it were 2011 , but I cant.. my options are limited to 3 processors... 3820 and 3930 hexa and 3960X hexa...... I cant afford 1k chip... the 3930 looks attractive but its almost twice the price of a 3820. I saw someone OC their 3820 to 4.6Ghz by moving the Bus up .......... since multi is locked.... with proper voltage, cant I do that. I just want sandy speed, but I need a 2011 for future I can buy a 6 core Ivy E

The two statements I bolded above just don't jive with one another. When IB-E comes out, you can be sure that you will be paying $1k+ for it...?

 

[Mfusick]

Why pay twice as much over a 2600k or 3770k and a high end 1155 board for about 10% more performance ?

Seems like a bad deal.

On the off chance you're not trolling, why don't you get this user's used 3820?

 

[mv2devnull]

What is that supposed to mean. whats CT ?

Your "Location" says "Glendale, CA". What is CA?


What do you need the 64 GB of RAM for?

If you have endured with Q6600 this long and have limited budget, would you really both spend a lot money now and upgrade again soon? That would be change of behaviour. Save some money for unexpected repairs too, for you do know how computers can have problems, don't you?

 

[tweakboy]

Ok guys order has been placed @ amazon.com

ASUS Sabertooth x79
i7 3820
32GB Corsair Vengance quad channel

total price $831 with tax.

Me and my dad are going to put it together. Will arrive I'M guessing wed of next week.

Im going to run it stock at first. thanks to all anandtech. Had to buy 2011 for 64GB RAM and quad channel. Also it will work with a Ivy E chip in future as I said. thx


Now in 2014 or 2015 I can whenever I want upgrade to a 6 core 12 thread.......

I use Sonar X2 Producer and it is x64 HT app. Why 64GB well then I can put on my Kontakt libraries into ram for quick access. I know my current project that has a hold on it until I get this new rig. Its using 7.5GB ram and I would use another 16GB just for loading samples, then you have the project..... I would say 32GB is enough,, but in future I will put another 32GB same ram,, make it 64GB.......

I would have cut hima hell of a deal on it too. O-well.

I will never buy used PC hardware. Because I bought this used P5K when mine died and its eSATA doesnt worok firewire doesnt work, and it cant OC well and you cant change OC options or no boot........

Never buy used I dont care if I save 70 dollars... So I learned my lesson and told myself never buy used and I won't.

Some people are trustworthy, but if you'd rather have new I can't fault that either. I'm to the point now where I mostly buy new as well.

There is a diff between used, abused, and antique hardware. Old MB's are a gamble for the most part.

 

[tweakboy]

Yes I know kenmitch I had no choice,,,, !!!

 

[skipsneeky2]

Can't blame tweakboy for wanting the 3930k and that much ram and such a upgrade,like he said 5 years has been enough and he skipped over the core 2 quad q9000 series,the 900 series i7 chips.

I remember my buddies telling me i wasted my money replacing my e6750 back in 2007 with a q6600 as no games took advantage of it,oh UT3 took advantage of quad cores and 5 years later,every game coming out does and perhaps in 5 years,most games will take advantage of that 3930k much more then the 2500k chips of today

 

[tweakboy]

Actually I got the 3820 to save 300 dollars, then Im going to buy Ivy Bridge E in Q3 of 2013.

If I got the 3930k I have no reason to upgrade to Ivy Bridge E ..... but I got a CPU where in a year or two if I get 100 percent usage when audio engine is on for sure Ill get the Ivy 6 core 12 threads. No point doing it now cuz then Ivy E comes out and Im stuck,,, I spent 600 dollars on CPU already I must keep it. But getting the 3820 ,, it will be a nice upgrade going to Ivy E hexacore. thx gl

Have fun on your build.

Doubt you'll need any pencil mods
