Update on i7-3770k without gpu build:
maxing out at 7 bots atm, cpu and ram are fine, just video lag as I mentioned earlier
adding an 8th bot causes average iph/gph to drop on the other 7
I think I could run 9 if I could manage to overclock the graphics, but using Intel Tuning Utility I can not manage to get it to not to blue screen. Overclocking from 1153mhz (stock) to just 1250 causes a bluescreen after 12-24 hours, and the only time I tried 1450 mhz it lasted about 8 hours. Perhaps overlocking the ram would help? or maybe adjusting some bios settings or lowering my cpu overclock? I have no idea--any input is welcome.
