Hello!
I need to build workstation for ansys cfx (80%) and ng nx software.(20%) I decide to go with 1 E5-2683v3, 32 GB DDR4 2133 ECC RAM Or better go with 6800K, 32 GB DDR4 3000 RAM and overclock CPU to 4.2 GHz ? Price for CPU almost the same. So what is better : More cores, low frec Less cores, high frec |

Since you seem to have no general problem with used or overclocked hardware: Swap the I7-6800k for an I7-5820k. It can be overclocked much better than its successor, especially when it comes to uncore frequency. Use a motherboard from Asus or ASRock that is advertised with an "OC-socket". It further enhances uncore overclocking potential. Be sure to use 4 DIMMs for those 32GB of memory.
Or to answer your question directly: less faster cores with more memory bandwidth are usually the better choice. |

5820-k was out of stock, so i order 6800k Here what i order so far: CPU 6800K BOX ( for 3 year warranty) CPU COOLING Enermax Liqmax II 240 RAM G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 16GVRB Kit 3200 CL16 (2x8GB) X2 ( for quad channel) SSD for OS: Corsair Force MP500 NVMe SSD M.2 240GB PSU Cooler Master GM-Series G750M 750 Watt for MOTHERBOARD i think better choose for me is ASUS SABERTOOTH X99 ( OC Socket and 5 years warranty) for HDD i dunno, and videocard - maybe some cheap nvidia card (400+ CUDA cores) "overclocked hardware" is it bad for CFX? I mean, CPU is not using OC all day long. |
