Can I'Z HAZ 20-25 bots without maxing cpu?

Surely.

Serious response?

Idk man, I am running a similar set up. Yet i have a i7 950 I can run 10 Bots and then my cpu usage is maxed out. Bare in mind i spent over $1200 building this thing. There is nothing in it thats cheap.

Doubt it, people think a lot of ram will run them, but like the previous post mentioned the CPU will limit before the ram..

This is true. The CPU is maxed before the RAM is.

See, someone else knows aswell!
I'm sick of seeing people recommend lets say 16gig ram saying you can run 20bots at once, without realising the CPU is gonna max out pretty quick.

I've heard people building PCs for around $800 that are able to actually run 15-20 Sorc Garden Bots...

Idk if it's true though.

i have like at most 7 bots going at once.. this is enough for me lol.

but if i ever get rolled back on my main im going to make tons of account bottin

teamck · Mar 4, 2011

How would that processor not be able to handle at least 15 bots? Its 6 core, 3.2 ghz. What if I overclocked it?

Noodles :) · Mar 5, 2011

Because, AMD's processors are more price to performance.
Intel easily wins with the performance, price not so much.. You could overclock it, 15bots is a lot though.. You /might/ be able to get away if you are just running the bots, nothing else. But I've never tried to run tons of bots at once..

Of course it's serious. You won't have ANY room for multitasking, but if it's solely for botting there shouldn't be a problem.

Keep in mind I don't know much about AMD processors. I'm an Intel person. I know I can run 15 bots on one of my setups so I try to use that as a benchmark.

ALSO, you forgot to add cooling to your list. Liquid cooling is a MUST with your setup, especially if you plan to be close to maxing your CPU with this stuff.. and even more so if you plan to overclock

What's the processor for the 15bot setup?

That one is an i7-960 clocked to 4.3ghz with 10gigs.
I have an 8 bot setup that I use as a general purpose pc. It's a i5-650 also clocked to 4.3ghz with 8 gigs.. The only difference is that the 960 is a quad core. I don't run bots on the i5 because it runs at about 69degrees when I max it which is too hot..

HappyFace01010 · Mar 5, 2011

Probably not going to happen. For my new RSBOT VPS host we are putting 16 people on a Dual-Quad 2.4 GHTZ with 8gb ram and hopefully it won't max out.

The i7 960 is more powerful then the 1090t.
Also are you using a custom WC loop for those OC's?

i7 960 should win in like every benchmark vs the 1090t, unless it uses all 6cores, then it might beat it.

I wouldn't know, I don't do much research on AMD procs, I know that the 1090t is a hexacore as opposed to my 960 being only a quad core.

Noodles :) said:

Only for the 960 and one of my other machines., the 650 doesn't need wc unless I keep it overclocked, but even then I never max the CPU on that machine. Maxed with the stock cooling, It runs at almost 70 degrees when OC'd. I picked up the parts from my local Tiger Direct and built it myself, but I'm always afraid of it springing a leak and frying everything =\

Again, I wouldn't know. Looking at the specs for both of them side-by-side I can understand what you're saying. I tend to stick with Intel though, regardless of how good a deal or whatever shit AMD is offering.

I think you'll be able to run 10-15 bots with that proc. I have an AMD Athlon II 4x3.0 GHz and I can get about 15 if I'm running nothing else.

A tip to cut CPU usage by half: after setting up the bot, turn the global settings all the way to the right. It looks hella laggy but you dont lose success rate or exp/hr.

Xyletic · Mar 8, 2011

I don't see any sort of heatsink in your setup, so this leads me to believe you're using the stock one that will come with the processor. You'll need to buy a good heatsink as well if you're planning on botting.

Even if the CPU is at about 40% usage..without proper cooling, its life span will be severely lowered since the CPU will be working for a lot of hours while you're botting..you'll want the CPU to be as cool as possible..

Heatsinks aren't that expensive, just make sure it fits your motherboard/CPU socket..and you'll probably want to buy better fans for that case..as about 80% of the time the default fans are very noisey..and since usually people bot 24/7..it can be very uncomfortable for you when you sleep..

As for it being able to handle the bots..it's very possible..and even if it can't handle it..you'll be able to overclock your CPU enough for it to be able to..as long as you have a good cooling system.

Already said he needed some cooling. With the setup he's talking about, liquid cooling wold be the best option, especially if he's maxing the CPU..

as for running a cpu without a heat sink, dont.. It's a sure-fire way to fry your shit. Sure, the computer will boot, but the CPU will just keep getting hotter and hotter until it fries. Usually within about 20-30 minutes

Can I'Z HAZ 20-25 bots without maxing cpu?
