Anyone running a 4790k
- Thread starter wtfmofo
- Start date
I use one but hardly for botting solely. Its a lot of chip for the price. It really depends on what your coming from. I can run a ton of bots (more than i care to or can afford) but mine is heavily overclocked and with 4 titans and 32gb of ram the sky is "almost" the limit 
Short answer: you'll be fine.
Assuming you already have a viable board, if not you may consider a 9590 now that theyre reasonably priced as well. (i have one of those too which i bot on much more frequently than my 4790 rig). Due to being 8 true cores instead of 4 cores and 8 threads its much easier to spread the load around properly even though clock vs clock the devils canyon is a bit faster.
Anyways, merry xmas.. off to bed to have a miserable, long, miserable, and long day with my in laws tomorrow. Ugh!

That will depend on a lot of things, such as memory, CPU and depending on how you will run the instance of WOW the video card. So perhaps if you give us all that information and how do you plan to run the instances of WOW and HB people might actually be able to give you a better insight on it.
We could hypothetically tell you how many WOW's that CPU alone would run but that means nothing if you don't have the right memory and video card(depending on how you will run it).
UPDATE:
Just to illustrate an example if you plan on using a virtual machine you won't be able to run as many sessions of wow as you would without it regardless you won't need a powerful video card either, on the other hand if you don't, you might need a card that can accommodate for all the instance of wow with at least the minimum FPS.
Same goes to Memory you have to have the base of how much wow and hb run together based on what you will use it for be it grinding or dungeonbuddy or whatever.
Just hypothetically, say with dungeonbuddy you use about 700mb per wow and 300 per HB thats 1GB per wow instance, now let's say the motherboard you got is limited to 16GB of memory which some are and some have bigger limits so you did be limited to about 12~14 instances of wow + HB and that is leaving a bit of memory for OS + any other hogs. even tough you could technically run the double of that if you motherboard had higher limits for memory such as 32GB or more, that was not including the CPU power each wow uses which you could verify as well.

Advising the 9590 is very bad advice imho.
Those aren't "true" 8 cores.
The 9590 is basically a heavy overclocked 8350, why not do it yourself and buy a better aftermarket cooler.
The watt vs performance ratio means the 9590 will be more expensive after a year of running 24/7 and if you are living in a first world country.
You can't compare clocks between different brands. (just as you can't compare clocks between different generations from the same brand)
Amd cpu's are good with multithreading and significantly worse when not multithreading. Wow doesn't utilize multithreading very well.

I have 2 system runnings and both have:
A Xeon 1230 (v2) with 16 GB Ram and a GTX 460.
I can run 15-22 WoW + HB instances (per computer) (depends on how many ressources wow and hb atm needs).
Xeon ~230€
Asrock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 ~30€
16 GB Ram ~120€
GTX 460 ~40€
thats ~420€...
power supply ~20-50€
case~ 20-50€
disk: 20-120€ (depends on HDD / SSD and space)
The Xeon 1230 v2 works standard with 4 x 3,3 GHz but with the right Board you can set it fixed to 4 x 3,7 Ghz.
(And when you change the BLCK from 100 to 103 you maybe can get 4 x 3,8 Ghz).
P.S. The GTX 460, Asrock Z68 Pro3 Gen3 and the Xeon 1230v2 are outdated (because the use the old 1155er Socket).
You should buy a (cheap) MainBoard with the 1150 Socket and then the Xeon 1230v3.

incorrect. it is TRUE 8 cores. the 4790 is not. Please do some research before you post. Yes the package is identical to the 8350's but its a much higher binned chip... the highest actually Not to mention the cost is equivalent to a haswell/devils canyon now. Im not a skewed fanboy, I have a 10,000 dollar intel pc and a 6,000 dollar amd pc sitting right next to eachother. My advice/suggestion was nothing if not objective. Ive been building pc's for the better part of 20 years.. Let me know the next time you can reach 5.3 on a 8350
(barring LN2 of course).Anyways. what namednoob said is spot on.

Hell Max !
This looks like a very cheap config for good perf !
You run all this with Questing bot (dungeon farming?)
The gtx 460 is ok for 15 instance? :O
Thanks

Most are Questing, some are PvP (with BGFarmer) and my Personal 5 Accounts are DungeonBuddy.
Important for multibotting is the CPU and RAM.
I'm using Win 8.1 Pro with normal Settings. When you use WinXP and reduce grafic details it needs less cpu / ram for the operating system so you can run maybe more bots.
As you see there are more facts as only the Hardware how many WoW + Bots you can run.
Thats are my both computers (not all slots used atm):

Windows XP? I dont think so.. Win 7 is much better and honorbuddy doesn't support xp.
ah your right because WinXP not Support net 4.5.

Haha please boy, get your head out of your ass.
Calling the piledriver and bulldozer microarchitecture 8 cores shows how full of dreams you are.
Both the 8350 and 9590 are good chips for multithreading, but they just plain suck for botting purposes compared to intel's cpu's. I am not an intel fanboy, I actually bought a 8350 with mobo last month for my third computer because someone else on this forum was claiming how good it was. Having tested it myself, I sold it for a loss and bought a 3770k with an old mobo I had laying around.
"I have a 10,000 dollar intel pc and a 6,000 dollar amd pc sitting right next to eachother"
Yes because a 10k and 6k pc is what we are looking for in a botting pc right?
Intel's superior single core performance + watt vs performance ratio + hyperthreading + high purchase cost outshines amd's poor single core performance + bad watt vs performance ratio + "true" 8 cores (which are only 4 modules)
And like I said; the 8350 and 9590 use so much more watt that those eventually end up being more expensive than an ivy or haswell cpu.
Don't forget outdated chipsets and poor memory controller design.

Is a fine thing and you can connect when ever you want.
The RDP doesnt Lag and has HD Graphic.
+ It is a VPS so you do not need to waste your own electricity.
+ You could setup multiple of those in just 10-20 mins
+ They do own a K520 nVidia Grid
I raided on this thing today heroic and it was easy as fuck with 180fps in fight and ultra + max antialiasing

How much was the price for a month on that and what location you hired it from like US, EU, etc?
