First topic message reminder :

I will build a new RIG pls prompt your recommended setups:
My current setups:
[img] [/img]
CPU: AMD® Phenom™ X4 Quad Core 2.5GHZ black Extreme Edition
MoBo: ASUS M3A32-MVP deluxe
RAM: kingston 2x 2gb = 4GB 667MHz DDR2 Memory
GPU: ATI® Radeon™ HD 3870 X2 512MB DDR5
FAN: 3 chasis fan, stock asus cpu fan
OS: Windows XP sp3
MAX 2009 vray 1.5 sp2
but im very disapointed in AMD. or maybe just my board.
i prefer the ALX from alienware buts its too expensive.
so im planing to biult an alternative RIGS
but by this time i prefer INTEL now
pls prompt your recomended setups.
budget bracket BD700 or php90,000

So...This is ur set-up pla

very nice, this my 1st rig in BH 2yrs ago.
ito pala yung 2nd RIG ko http://www.cgpinoy.org/t547p375-show-me-your-rig
sensya na sir hindi kasi yan ALLIENWARE.

btw start nako ng 3rd rigs, im inspire by your ALLIENWARE...

thanks a lot dude for your comment!

Salamat din sa comment mo na makalat sa loob alienware ko

ito rin OLD RIG ko..3rd ung alienware na makalat

gud am mga sir,,, patulong sana ako specialy sa mga tech guru,,
ung boss ko kc nababagalan sa sa work station ko, gusto nya ng mas mabilis, kc nauubos ang oras namin sa pagrerender palang.. mayroon ba kayo na marerecommend na mas mabilis pa na pangrender..

ito po ung specs nung CURRENT kong system:

Intel^® Xeon^® Quad Core

Intel^® X58 chipset

4gbDDR3 SDRAM at 1333Mhz - 3 DIMMS

NVIDIA Quadro® 4000

Up to 1000GB[url=http://www.cgpinoy.org//mc.ashx?id=technotes:hard-drive&c=us&l=en&s=bsd&modalwidth=400&modalHeight=150&ovropac=0&modalscroll=yes&modaltarget=div&modaltype=tooltip&position=bottom&title=Important Details&flip=false&eventType=rollover]⁴[/url] SATA hard drive (7200RPM)

Windows^® 7 Professional 32-Bit



im also looking at the specs of hpz800,.. tong forum ang nauna kong naisip na tanungan, baka kc may maisa suggest ang ating mga tech guru na masmaganda at mas mabilis na unit.. thanks

mabagal ang xeon sa rendering kase pang server ang processor na yan, although quadcore sya pero more on server use tlaga yan. maganda yan s server nyo gamitin, pero mabagal ang clockspeed nyan at mahirap or hindi pwedeng ioverclock ang mga xeon. the good thing is naka x58 chipset kana, kaya processor na lang ang papalitan mo para makakuha ka ng i7, since ang x58 is also for i7 9xx series. hindi nyo na kelangan palitan ang buong system, just the processor, and add some memory gawin nyong 6gb ang memory malaki tulong pero ofcourse dapat naka 64bit windows ang naka install para gumana ang 6gb memory. triple channel ang support ng motherboard nyo, pwedeng 2gig sa tatlong slot, total 6gig ram sa tatlong channel oks na yun. ang processor nyong pwedeng ilagay jan is i7 9xx series, kung mejo tight budget , i7 950 or i7 960 panalo sa rendering , kung madami budget ang boss mo pwedeng i7 970 mas mabilis.
i7 980 at 990 is masyado na mahal para sa office use.

hi im new here.. as i see puro computer parts ang pinaguusapan ano po ba meaning nang RIG?

hi guys! pa OT lang po... di ko kasi alam kung saan to pwedeng i-post...

I am selling my motherboard and processor

dito po ako sa SG. thanks!

Para sa Thread Starter... HP Z800 would be best for 3dmax coz it's one of the Workstation na recomended ng Autodesk para sa kind ng work naten. I'm lucky my company bought 3pcs with 2-xenon 6 core (multi thread to 12) 12gb Ram and 1 Quadro FX na Graphics Card each Z800. As of now ngayon ko pa lang nasusubukan sa rendering. Pero ung dati kong 2days na render ngayon Minutes lang. tapos na ka Distributed Rendering pa ako.

Para sa akin ung Xenon CPU ay less hastle sa maintenance kesa I7 Proc pero mas mahal nga lang. tapos ung mobo ng xenon meron dual na Proc na available. at napansin ko din ung Quadro FX is suitable din sa Viewport compare sa Geforce.

Kung afford mo ung HP Z800 or Dell Precission Workstation go for it. Magugulat ka din sa Capabilities neto sa pag up-upgrade. Try to Max out ung configuration ng Z800 sa hp. http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/MiddleFrame.asp?page=config&ProductLineId=433&FamilyId=3007&BaseId=30037&oi=E9CED&BEID=19701&SBLID=

@sir Dan. Tria... Kung mag Distributed rendering man lang there's no need for a quadro fx on both units, kung sa server pwede pa mag quadro.. In my opinion kasi kung mag DR setup you dont need much of the videocard from the other units yung kukunin lang doon ay yung buckets na e relay nila at mag dedepende ito sa lakas ng processor speed at ram.. for economical reasons atleast 1gb videocard will do from other units... For the server you can use quadro or tri SLI setup, and now for max 2012 you dont need much of a high end video card.. Correct me if im wrong opinion ko lang naman.. mahal nga lang talaga ang workstation ng hp at dell.. Pero I guess puwede naman ito tapatan ng custom setup, nakamahal lang kasi niyan is the quadro fx which you dont need in every unit...

actually sir di talaga kailangan lahat naka quadro Fx lahat. ing set up kasi naming sa office eh 2 orig license ang gamit naming tapos dalawa kami pwede mag render. nagagamit ko ung video card nung iba pang computer sa Vray RT. kasi GPU ung gamit nun hindi ung CPU. kung mag render ka using the Vray RT kailangan ng gpu at naka Vray RT server din kasi ako di lang vray DR. Meron din naman iba pang low cost na solution. di lang kasi recommended ung di quadro sa z800.

but normal GPUs won't work, right sir Dan? Should it really be a Quadro for 3D Rendering?
