Hi Linus and fellowship,

 

I am building a Desk top machine where I will be doing 3D printing.

I have decided on a Asus Deluxe II motherboard and a Titan x Pascal. I am on the fence about the CPU and how many cores will it take to decrease the wait times between changes in 3D design. I do not want to buy a more expensive CPU with no speed gain.

I'd start by looking up the hardware recommendations for the individual program(s) you will be using.

if your spending that much on GPU, then a i7-6850K, i7-6900K, or i7-6950X are probably your best options. I dunno anything about your softwares hardware recommendations.. check that. If not then a Xeon processor

Thank you both for your comments. I will check in with the maker of the 3D printer + software and comment back. I take the option for Xeon processor would be more cores?

 

thanks

I have been told by the manufacture that i7 will do the trick. Question I have now is which i7 goes best with the titan x pascal?

I will also mention that I plan to OC the system.

remember to quote... your lucky i found this again by accident

 

anyway.. why not 2x GTX1080 in SLI? it would be cheaper and perform better or equally? just for for thought...

________________________________________________

the manufacturer telling you to go i7 isn't exactly very helpful. it does however indicate that hyper-threading (2 logical per 1 physical cores) is useful. I would get an indication of how many cores the application can use. Then you can choose CPU more effectively. Your options are:

 

4 core 8 thread : i7 6700K

6 core 12 thread: i7 6800K

6 core 12 thread: i7 6850K

8 core 14 thread: i7 6900K

10 core 16 thread: i7 6950X

 

obviously price increases exponentially as you go up in core count... performance... does not (usually).

I will look into your advise. I do agree that the manufacture was not very detailed.

 

thanks

IS this quoting ?

Do you have a final build list yet?

Looking for some ram that I can water cool along with GPU and CPU. I looking at swiftech for the water cooling

Are all these CPU's indicate hyperthreading by the "K"?
