Posted November 15, 2015 Linus, how the hell did you manage to boot Windows 10 on a Q6600? I own a E5450 and the annoying "Windows 10 Update Notification" is saying me that my CPU is insufficient. The reasons are missing commands the CPU doesn't support. I quickly googled if the same issue is persistent for the Q6600 and it obviously is. Sure, your build didn't get through the install routine with the Q6600 but it clearly works without error warnings or whatsoever and boots *EDIT* I did bad research. The Q6600 is support but not my beloved E5450 :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 15, 2015 What do the analytic's tell you about this season for Scrapyard Wars, @Linus? Personally I stopped watching at episode 4, it got tiring. I simply got quite bored.

Posted November 15, 2015 My god the episodes are too short. 15 minutes, just start to get interested and they end. I'd rather say that first 5 episodes should be packed into two E01 - discussing the ideas and looking for parts, E02 - getting parts, then Episode 6 would be E03 and final episode would be E04. At this point we're three weeks late on everything and bored from those first 5 episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 15, 2015 First of all : Hello everyone Second of all : Scrapyard wars are great !Third : Why Linus and Luke didn't go for LGA 771 Mod (ie Xeon E54xx series CPU's) ?From what I can see, both chipsets ie. P965 (in Linus's Commando) and P45 (in Luke's P5Q Pro), support it.So... what was the problem ?Even if they couldn't get Xeon CPU's in time, they should at least mention this mod when they planned their rig's.Thanks for any replies.

Even if they couldn't get Xeon CPU's in time, they should at least mention this mod when they planned their rig's. Thanks for any replies. Probably exactly because of the reason you mentioned - availability of said CPUs, or the need to keep everything the cost and possible points of failure to the minimum - and cutting your CPU socket, sticking some stickers under it and possibly updating/modifying your BIOS to make it work might actually kill your motherboard. You kinda want to avoid that in a competition where the rule is "best bang for a buck". And moreover, you don't get that much performance out of, let's say E5430 over Q6600 to justify the hassle.

Posted November 15, 2015 U know U can get a pre-cut version of Xeon CPU's, right : LINK ?+ They still could at least metion it...As for performance advantage - it depends on how good your cooling is 65nm can be hard to cool on air with 3,6GHz+,45nm should be OK with 3,8GHz+.But it all heavily depends on revision (like B3/G0, or C1/E0), and silicon lottery.

The "drama" is why i like this series, if everything worked like it should i could just watch normal pc builds. It's just sad to see these "know-it-all" forum kiddies talking shit.

They should've done something like 4 weeks, with the first 3 weeks being the buying the pc parts and last minute edits and testing, with the 4th week being the pc building and the benchmarking.

Posted November 15, 2015 I'm going to go ahead and say it's either Linus or Austin - I really doubt Luke will since his system is arguably unstable.

Posted November 15, 2015 I felt bad for Luke after that last episode. Hope he can get it stable and competitive. Might be a two-horse race in the end between Linus and Austin.

Posted November 15, 2015 I'm gonna say Linus. Luke's system is unstable, Austin is running that crappy PSU setup and his system is basically untested - 30 seconds of stress test is nothing - there's a chance it will crap out, so both of them may fail their benchmarks. Moreover, the goal here is best bang for the buck, so paradoxically Linus with his cheap and reliable build may be in a pretty good position. U know U can get a pre-cut version of Xeon CPU's, right : LINK ?+ They still could at least metion it... SYW is based mostly on what they can find in a local used hardware shops and on Craigslist. Linus' Commando mobo, RAM and Q6600 cost him 60 CAD, that Xeon is $40 and is in Shenzhen, China. That's why they also didn't mention it I guess. When you have to do it from what you have handy, coming up with a Xeon mod is one of the last thing you'll think about, unless you get one for like $5. And finally, it's for entertainment, not a guide. I felt bad for Luke after that last episode. Hope he can get it stable and competitive. Might be a two-horse race in the end between Linus and Austin. That 6990 I think will carry Austin's build to victory - as long as it can handle the benchmark loads which remains to be seen. As far as I remember Austin spent like 550 CAD on his PC, Linus spent half of that, so after all it might get pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
