>pump is not designed to work with
Hence it being a custom loop. Believe it or not, there is no certification that pumps or radiators have to go through in order to work with one another. One pumps the coolant, the other dissipates heat from the coolant. A block/pump combo adds redundancy and simplifies the loop while saving money. It's a win/win no matter how you cut it.

>platform that isn't meant for gaming
Please tell me how painting a PCB a color other than green and adding plastic covers improves gaming performance more than having eight cores for an application that's designed to take advantage of eight cores. Performance per dollar is what I'm looking at. For an 8 core "gaming oriented" solution you'd be looking at a Core i7 5960X and an LGA 2011-V3 board. $900+ for the CPU, around $250 for a decent motherboard, and 16GB DDR4 kits are running around $100. That's $1250. I'm $330 into Motherboard, CPUs, and RAM. That MIGHT get you a used 4770k that's been OCed to hell and half decent motherboard, but no RAM and you're stuck with half as many cores.

>Hence it being a custom loop. Believe it or not, there is no certification that pumps or radiators have to go through in order to work with one another.

believe it or not the pump was designed to flow water through the radiator it comes with, adding a bigger one will give issues and is just generally retarded to do to a $100 cpu cooler

>One pumps the coolant, the other dissipates heat from the coolant.

putting a pump on top of the cpu block where ALL of the heat is made is stupid. It's always been stupid. Adding another point of failure in a cooling system for little to no gain to worse in some cases for what? it to look cool when you don't even look at the thing most of the time anyways

>Please tell me how painting a PCB a color other than green and adding plastic covers improves gaming performance more than having eight cores for an application that's designed to take advantage of eight cores.

please tell me how a workstation workload is similiar to a gaming workload. Workstations generally have more cores because the workload is lighter that way. In a gaming scenario a gaming mobo with a desktop cpu is going to out preform workstations all day. Not to mention most of the workstation cpus are locked and produce an enormous amount of heat and power drain

>For an 8 core "gaming oriented" solution

No one with a brain wants an 8 core gaming oriented solution because no games are using 8 cores, most dont even use 4.

>I don't encode video and 1080p is is for plebs.

>>14266616
>No one with a brain wants an 8 core gaming oriented solution because no games are using 8 cores

Fallout 4 does

Imho a 4690k is more than enough for gaming but if you can afford the minor extra the 4790k is not bad in any way

Granted games that you would expect to run better on the i7 run worse lol (eg arma3) and the ones that you'd expect to run worse on i7 run better (the already mentioned fo4)

I'll let you do the math there...
And I paid around half that for each of the AIOs.

>putting a pump on top of the cpu block where ALL of the heat is made is stupid.
And all of that heat is quickly carried away via the coolant. That's literally the entire point of the liquid cooling system.

So yes, if BOTH pumps fail outright, they'll be exposed to a lot of heat if the CPUs are being stressed. But at that point I doubt it will much matter.

>please tell me how a workstation workload is similiar to a gaming workload.
By stressing 8 cores.

>In a gaming scenario a gaming mobo with a desktop cpu is going to out preform workstations all day.
Because workstations generally don't have gaming GPUs.

>Not to mention most of the workstation cpus are locked and produce an enormous amount of heat and power drain
The chipset is locked so I could care less about the multiplier being locked by the CPUs. 3.2Ghz is fine and turbo will boost up to around 3.47 on 16 threads. They're 95w TDP and idle around 3-4 C over ambient.

>No one with a brain wants an 8 core gaming oriented solution because no games are using 8 cores
It's not 2008 anymore. GTA V is optimized for 8 cores.

>Then what's the point in having a workstation?
Things other than encoding video. Encoding video is the go-to activity for people that don't know anything about workstations to bring up because it's the only one they know of.

>>14266766
>GTA V is optimized for 8 cores

And Witcher 3....

Publishers will pull 8 cores via software bloat anyway, its just about the time that happened

>>14266775

>>14266775
How long before Intel pushes developers to make use of 12-16 threads to push sales for the hyper threaded 6 and 8 core CPUs?

>>14266804
I'd say early 2020s

The push for 8 cores has just begun after all, but expect more and more titles to have a required high end i7 for the ''advanced'' physics effects that ran on a e8400 in crysis a decade ago.......

Or replace physics with some other gimmick bcuz that's gpu based nowadays, but either way you get the point

>fallout 4 literally cannot get stable 60 fps on a 980ti at ultra

>>14266766
>By stressing 8 cores.
Different workloads.

>Because workstations generally don't have gaming GPUs.
clock for clock they are going to be slower, gaming workloads do not take advantage of the extras workstations have to offer and you are literally throwing out performance for more cores

> 3.2Ghz is fine and turbo will boost up to around 3.47 on 16 threads.
great 16 threads all of which is being wasted

>They're 95w TDP and idle around 3-4 C over ambient.
there is still two of them

>It's not 2008 anymore. GTA V is optimized for 8 cores.

Runs fine on dual and quad cores(provided they aren't amd) the 8 core thing is probably more centered around the babys first build who fell for the AMD FX MOAR CORES meme

>Different workloads.

Workload difference makes literally zero difference between Xeon and i7. This has been proven multiple times. The Xeons aren't designed to sacrifice gaming performance in favor of a different workload type because there is no single workload type they're designed for. Clock for clock, Xeons perform the same as comparable i7s under the same workloads.

>there is still two of them
And? You were arguing that the CPUs run hot and draw tons of power. They don't.

If you don't mind using hardware a few years old and not overclocking the CPU you can get a lot more bang for your buck out of old server/workstation hardware. I'm $60 into my CPUs and my motherboard was less than many of the "gaming" motherboards of the same era.

Sounds to me like that kid was trying to be responsible. Went to college, made a bad choice. Shit happens when you have an abusive father that gets angry because you're not perfect. So he got a job, then another when the first didn't work out. He kept his expenses low, and saved some money to buy his own car, to take the burden off his parents. He got a bad deal, shit happens. Then said abusive father once again flies off the handle, berating his son for not being perfect.

So to sum up, the father is a piece of shit. The kid is trying to be responsible, but he makes mistakes because he has no one to help him.

>>14267226
The 780 runs fine. The AC1 doesn't cover the intake fan and the 700D has the 140mm fan just below blowing in cool fresh air.

I like that the layout with this board offers the PCI slot between two dual slot GPUs. With reference coolers you can run a short card in between them and still have an extra slot open below the fan for airflow.

Topping out around 79-80C with a "cinematic" 24-26 fps 99% of the time.

>you don't NEED a more powerful computer for less money

I'll never understand this argument. You assuming I don't "need" it isn't a good reason for me to pay more for less.

>have 2 980 ti's in SLI and 4790k
can confirm that gta v runs like shit, with everything maxed (2x msaa and no advanced settings) get dips into 30 fps

i can max out any other game though

>>14268325
What are you averaging?

>>14268325
>>14268364
And what resolution?

>>14267580
Consumer products offer consumer benefits.

>>14268364
avg is 90 fps at 1080p

Trade GPUs?

Expanded connectivity, extended performance ability through overclocking, the latest technology for gaming (which is exactly what you're doing), etc. Workstation and server boards aren't geared toward these things but do have a bunch of shit that is of no use to you like ECC support and Intel/Broadcom networking chipsets.

>>14268480
>Expanded connectivity
Like two full speed PCIe x16 slots? Check.
Spare PCI and PCIe slots for expansion? Check.
SSD support? Check.
RAID support? Check.
USB support? Check.
Upgrade whatever is lacking via expansion slots? Check.
Do you even know what it is you think my board doesn't have that comparable "consumer" products do have?

The workstation boards are designed to be able to handle whatever is needed regardless of what type of load it is. What type of load you're putting on the system just decides what you do with the expansion capabilities.

>extended performance ability through overclocking
IF you buy an unlocked CPU, which pulls a premium.
$30 locked Xeon
$150 locked i7
$230 unlocked i7
When you look at the price, the Xeon makes far more sense even without overclocking. You're not getting seven times more performance out of a CPU by overclocking it. Buy two Xeons, you're not getting 3.8x stock performance from overclocking the unlocked i7. Will an overclocked i7 outperform a single comparable locked Xeon? Sure. Is that worth paying seven times more for the i7? Not to me. I'd rather just buy two faster Xeons because they're cheap as shit thanks to people like you that not only have no idea how they work, but swear by your false assumptions. I want to thank you for keeping prices down for me.

>the latest technology for gaming
Like 3D audio and DX12?
That comes down to the audio hardware and GPU. A workstation board doesn't prevent you from using gaming oriented expansion cards or prevent those cards from using any of the technology they contain.

>Workstation and server boards aren't geared toward these things but do have a bunch of shit that is of no use to you like ECC support and Intel/Broadcom networking chipsets.
ECC support and an Intel networking chip aren't hurting gaming performance. Not using free features doesn't take value away from something. It would be a different story if I were paying a premium for those features, but I'm not.

hes got at least 2k into it

What Xeon processors are you getting for 30 dollars? Shitty LGA1366 E series quad cores or something?

>>14268690
Were you under the impression I was arguing price to gaming performance for two hyper threaded 12 core Xeons? $1200 each is the cheapest you're getting E5 2697 V2s

There's literally a speccy screenshot in my first post in this thread. You know, the one that got you on this already proven false "Xeons are bad for gaming" argument?

>>14268865
I never said they were 'bad for gaming'. I said they were pointless. You're stuck many generations behind when you could get current generation stuff for not much more than you'll pay for enterprise equipment. The name of the architecture doesn't tell me anything. You could have anything from a dual core E series to an X5690 in that family. Of course, I know you don't have anything worthwhile because even the L series quad core Westmere-EP chips will cost double what you claim to have paid for a matched pair.

>>14269367
Speccy shows 3.2 GHz and you already know they're locked, that leaves one X series quad core and one X series six core as possibilities. They're X5672s. I bought one for $54 shipped and one with a heatsink for $56 shipped, I then sold the heatsink for $50.

54+56-50=60

$60 into two X series hyper threaded quad core Westmere chips. The cheapest you'll find a six core desktop counterpart is generally a little over double what I've got into both chips.

Go ahead and tell me how two extra cores (which are going to be made use of) and cutting CPU cost in half is a "pointless"

>L series westmere cost $120
You can get a matched pair of L5630s (fastest L series quad) for $20. If the dual 1366 boards were cheaper that's the route I'd be going for my home server.

>>14269590
For $12 more I could have gotten a Pentium G3258 dual core without hyper threading. 8 cores vs 2, 16 threads vs 2. But I'd be able to brag about it being "current gen."

There's not even a modern hyper threaded quad core available under $300 new.

>>14269615
Actually it is worth a little bit more than $1000 USD, but the choice of components is poor. Wouldn't be surprised if he bought it pre-built or called a store and told them to build it for him. One could have saved some money and matched the performance, or spent the same amount of money and increased the performance of the components. He basically bought an apple product if you get what I mean.

no fucking way, that kid is a fucking living meme

well wouldn't he know more about the kid than you then and make his opinion more valid?

How does a kid with parents that are still living buy a car that's shit? Why would he not ask his father?

He's a lazy piece of shit and his dad is trying desperately to kick his ass out of the house humanely
