Hey guys! I wanna buy new computer ONLY for botting. Planning to run plus minus 10 accounts with 10 HB. Can you give me any advice about specification? Ofc I want to spend as little as possible. Thanks! Bobey
a g3258 pentium is more than enough to run 10 accounts if OCed properly. A proper mobo that can overclock a late-4th gen processor such as the G3258. 8 GBs of RAM, an SSD to load game files and bot files quicker... any PCI-E graphics card $45 with atleast 2gb of VRAM ... anything over a 750gtx is overkill. Anyone that tries to tell you that you need a maxed out i7-4xxx is an absolute idiot. My Q6600 back in the day was able to run glider+ppather with 10+ clients - and that bot was 1/100 as optimized as honorbuddy currently is.
However a Q6600 can not even run 5 bots now. graphic upgrades etc in the wow client...Using Pirox I could run 20 bots on a i7 920.
My Lenovo x61s is capable of botting 2 wow clients - and thats on a L7500 cpu, and integrated graphics. It wasn't possible to do this on expansions prior to Cataclysm when the graphics engine was optimized for a wider audience. I happily run 5 clients on my cheap g3258 bot box. I'm sure similar AMD processors with 4.5+ GHz overclock can too =D You only need enough grunt to push 15fps per client.
With a large scale of botting you will need a multicore cpu. Yes for gaming you don't need more then 4 core but we are not gaming. We are running mulipule clients this means having more then 4 core would help you. An amd gets he job done, but intel cpu are more for high end task like a large scale botting

Just go in to the BIOS, change multiplier to 44 and hit F10 for save For others with input, the FX6300 or cheapest i3 is more than twice the cost of the G3258 - and the AMD motherboards are also more expensive. Keep that in mind.
WoW only uses 2 Threads, Honorbuddy as a client is multithreaded - however it comes no where near as resource heavy to need a quadcore. Honorbuddy isnt doing crazy amount of calculations such as Video software or rendering software and the need for multiple threads is useless as framelock has been implemented to allow the bot to better work around Windows scheduler.
tryed it with my J1900 (60€ mainboard+cpu / 10w tdp) which should be close to the smallest nuc and d3 (demonbuddy) / wow wasn´t running well but iam not a expert in tweaking since i usally bot on my main pc (2600k @ 8x 4.5ghz /16gbram / r290)
I'm currently using a few Intel NUC D54250WYK rev 2, running five WoW and HB per computer. The framerate is horrible, but the computers have been running flawlessly for three months now, running 24/7. I recommend using these if you're willing to pay a bit more for a very clean setup and look. I have quite a few computers running, and having these small boxes hanging on the back of the monitor, rather than having large computer cases with wires everywhere, is absolutely wonderful! The framerate however does annoy me a bit, as it can be very sluggish when my bots run the more demanding 90 heroics. Also, the cost save in electricity is highly noticeable. These babies, including screen, use less than 80W each!
Not sure how a SATA can handle multiple clients without high disk usage and potentially killing your drive faster. I personally use Flash Drives, more cheaper.
