Hi folks,
Long time lurker, first time poster in this section.
I have a bit of downtime coming up in the next little while, that will allow me some time to work on projects (ie. finishing up some computer builds at home etc)
Now I'm not sure if you folks can help or not, but I hope you have some opinions from your experiences to chime in with.
Back in January I was in the midst of acquiring a couple of 1155 based motherboards & cpus wanting to join HWC folding team, (before the chipset debacle) I wanted to see how multiple boards would fair, in terms of ppd/w vs an SR-2.
I had originally sold my sr-2 rig, but ended up buying another board to perhaps give it another go.
Is it still worth it to work on another sr-2 rig for folding?
It appears the 2600k is putting up some really really respectable numbers on air.
Also appears to be much less hassle to get everything set up, and overclocked.
Another question is whether or not anyone is folding more than 2 graphics cards, while folding bigadv/smp on these 1155 boards? (are there any 4way sli boards for 1155?)
Or does the gpu folding eat too many cycles away like with the sr2?
Basically put, I'm still looking to put together a small farm for efficient folding, that will give decent yield.
At the moment I'm looking toward selling off the SR-2 board again (registered already but still brand new in the box, but too late to return), as the 1155 based setup looks very enticing.
Perhaps I'm asking the wrong questions?
Any guidance/opinions/suggestions/input is very much appreciated.
I'm an open book and very much interested to learn of everyone's experience.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Cheers!
