Hi dmeyer,
so looking at your tests concluded thus far & looking at prices of custom builds featuring the different CPUs,
it seems to me that 7980xe is the most suitable performance/price wise. (for my budget which is £5k)
I am considering a build (
viewtopic.php?f=140&t=45085) featuring 7980xe,
but unsure if to go with overclocked one or the @stock speed. The workstation will be rendering overnight 7 days a week, so not much downtime for it to cool down. Do you think its better to stick with the @stock speed for such continuous rendering or the overclocking speed gain is worth the instability risk?
thanks a lot for sharing your tests.
