Long live the new glass.

I had to render this twice, because the multiple layered materials (!!!) needed a higher than usual sample rate. It's hot as hell in Queensland right now, my quad core cpu hit 76c during the render. Almost fucking melted it.

Render time: 42h 24m 28.6s

Modeled in TopMod 2.23, arranged in 3ds max 2011 x64, rendered in Vray 2.0, edited in Photoshop CS5. Produced on the Porkchop Express.

Cool render... not knocking your 76c but I use hit 100c all the time before my PC would shut down, rendering simple scenes. I finally replaced the stock heatsink with a Coolmaster Hyper 212 plus, which works with either intel or amd. So far so good, and that's with just one fan and the ability to add a second to it.

Anyway love that material. Very sweet! Well worth the render time... though I'm sure it had you pacing the floors.

The thermal limit listed for the Q6600 is around 80C, and I didn't want to damage my pooter because I can't afford to fix it.

My Q6600 is a B3 stepping, which was the first gen quad cpu released by intel, and it ran HOTTT. I could have waited for the G0 stepping which apparantly ran much cooler, but the prospect of rendering with a quadcore cpu in august 2007 make me want to throw cash around willy nilly.

I'm not sure what my thermal limit is... I sometimes live on the edge. lol Ibuilt my pc, have been building for years. But I know what you mean re $$ I waited 18 months without rendering or really turning on my desktop before I replaced my heatsink because of money. I'd love to buy a 6 core, but again $$$ and my current mobo won't support the one I'm looking at, so even more $$$.
