Posted July 20, 2016 So a few months back there was a craze on YouTube channels to take advantage of the price of the Xeon E5-2670, which goes for about $75 each on eBay. The problem is that motherboards for this platform are fairly rare and the dual cpu motherboards are even more rare. I finally found an ASRock MB-2C602 for about $333, and 64 GB of DDR3 ECC memory for about $110. So here is what I'm trying to decide between: i7 5820k - $320 ASRock Extreme4 x99 -$170 EVGA 2x8 DDR4-2400 RAM - $60 Dual Xeon E5-2670 $75 x2 -$150 ASRock MB 2C602 - $335 Samsung 8x8 DDR3-1333 RAM -$112 The system is used for live video production, 3 webcams with at least 720p @ 30 FPS.

Posted July 20, 2016 No point going dual Xeon if you just live steam 3x webcams. In fact, a 4 core CPU will have no problems keeping up with it, as long as you just stream from webcams. But if you are also re-encoding for youtube and such, get the 5820k. I speak my mind, sorry if thats a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 20, 2016 Author I'm getting consistent High-CPU usage errors with a 4790 build now, so I'm looking for something a bit more. Also looking to switch to capture cards and camcorders within the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
