who has the most powerful pc on ltt as of right now?

[Fgtfv567]

LINUS' AUTOBAHN!!! 3 R9 290Xs!!

[Tetters]

 

JayzTwoCent's PC is a real beast aswell.

 

 

Jayz rig is pretty damned sweet

[Superspeed07]

Well at least I got you on speed Maybe on Storage or fail over options. Then, how many in the cluster?

(ESXi Master Race )

 

 

 

We have just the one, 20 1tb hdd's in raid 5 for storage, only running about 20 Windows 2008 r2 vm's and a linux virtual router

Yea, we currently only have the one but have plans for more soon so we can have HA work properly when and if one goes down, not that they have. There are other blades that are identical that we've been trying to convince to migrate over to ESXi for more flexibility but they don't quite get it yet (what they get being on virtual). We only run Linux VM's and the ones on this blade are just work horses for compute, it eats it up!

In person would have to be my friends rig. Two GTX780ti and a 4770k and an asus sabertooth motherboard if I remember right. A corsair 700D case, a corsair H100i cooler, some dominator ram, like 3 or 4 ssd's. Pretty sweet rig. He has an ACER 4K and an ASUS 4K monitor and the ASUS Swift too haha. He's trying to find the best monitor for himself.

[Ptopman]

In real life? i7-4790k tri sli GTX480s. SSD boot drive and 4 WD Velociraptors in RAID 5 using a raid card. The thing was a beast but at full load it sounded like an AV-8B Harrier was taking off.

A friend's pentium 4

[deVIZtation]

The last few builds I did with a 4770K and GTX 770.

[Mochi]

I live in Cambodia so there are not many great computers, the best i've seen has a quad core i5 and a gtx 560, it also had the best case i've seen in cambodia which was from cooler master, it was a windowed case , first i've seen.

Most powerful I know of: Tianhe-2 Chinese Supercomputer(Much faster than Titan)

 

Most powerful i've seen in person: My own(Right now 3 780tis @ 4930K with (2x) 1TB SSDs)

Hey, how about u get a 980 for ur lan rig and add the fourth 780Ti to your main rig, still i am jelly of ur build even though the motherboard lacks enough  USB3 and SATA3

[KemoKa]

In person, definitely my own rig. Fastest, most powerful system I've ever used. Most people here won't actually think it's that powerful, but for me it's a monster.

2600K is still a monster, infact, it is still Slick's fav CPU (check his Squirtle video for proof)

As a matter of fact, my choice of a 2600K was entirely inspired by Slick's build. As soon as he released that video and as soon as I heard him mention getting over 5GHz stable on Squirtle's 2600K, I resolved that my next build, as far away as it might have been, would be a liquid-cooled 2600K. I don't really consider it a monster. It's a lot more "elegant" than that, I guess, as cheesy as it sounds. It just powers beautifully through everything I throw at it. I keep it at 4.5GHz, but I got it up to 5 with zero issues, even on an AIO. It's a beautiful processor. Along with the FX series, it makes me feel all the more (embarrassingly) that the whole silicon lottery thing is a bit mythical, even though I know full well that it is a thing. So much cheaper than the 4770K but you can just OC the hell out of it and it'll get as good or better performance.

True, my only gripe is that it has PCI 2.0, otherwise it is the best CPU ever made IMO.

ah, well, that's not so much of a problem. SB is older than AMD's piledriver CPUs, and those still only support 2.0 as well. Bandwidth for me isn't a huge issue, nor will it likely turn into one for quite a while. No one has ever really needed as much bandwidth as even 16x 2.0 can provide, let alone 3.0. 10-gigabit ethernet can be done on PCIe 1.0 8x (theoretically) with plenty of overhead. Even super-high-end RAID controllers don't need that much more, and Linus's GPU scaling video shows how unimpressive adding more bandwidth really is. Only really obscure add-in cards are that heavy afaik, and all I plan on using in this rig is my 7970.

Fair enough

Excluding servers it would be a customers workstation: dual 2011-3 E5's, 128GB ECC DDR4, Intel P3700 series SSD + 128GB PCIe cache + 4 Re's, Titan Black, full hotswap front bay, RDX reader, Lian Li case - roughly $13k

@Snef's bloody angel or icy blue angel 2. Other computers can be slightly faster, but those are the two best looking imo.

To be honest I considered selling off 3 of the 780ti's and replacing them with 980s before watercooling but performance wise it made no sense. Performance is too close to the 780ti for it to be worth the extra cost even after selling the 780ti's off. Also I found that in most games due to the lack of proper SLI scaling adding the fourth 780ti yielded no extra performance in games. Although it did show in benchmarks.

My work PC with a 5960X and 4 Water-cooled Quadro's and 2,000TB of storage externally

[adamsjus1]

My friends dad edits and produces commercials. He as an I7 5960x and 32gb ddr4 and a titan z. 

[ThatAngryGnome]

A friend has a crazy build with dual Titans, 64 gigs of RAM (he had 32 gigs before, and bought a WHOLE NEW KIT OF 64 GIGS OF RAM!), the Maximus 6 Formula, AX1500i, 4770k (soon to be upgraded to an extreme 6 core), 3 1TB SSD's (he bought 850 Pros at launch), and 6 TB of mass storage. And lets not forget his 900D with nothing but Noctua Industrials...on every fan slot.   

  

I fangirled when I saw it first. Its called the Shrine amongst us now.
