Crunchers Helping Crunchers

[stinger608]

;2155972']Anything is very welcome :)

Even a single core, case in point, I have a 1.7ghz Pentium M that was on all of the time so I decided why not crunch? ;)

Now damn!! There is dedication if I ever seen it:toast::toast::toast:

That is what I kind of told my wife.......her system is always on, why waste the electricity when we can put it to good use and crunch with it!!! Of course she agreed:laugh::laugh::laugh:

@brandon

Still got that 790x if you're interested.

[mosheen]

Anyone has an idea of how much faster(crunching) an i5 2500k is compared to an i5 750 both at same clock speed??

Nothing about SB chips on there.

Mosheen, I've read that SB is 15-20% faster clock for clock, but I would take that figure with a big bag of rock salt. The main advantage of SB is lower power usage, or so I've read... again, salt.

Im mostly looking for a 20-25$ board. this is a budget build of great proportions

Oh yes. I started in 2009 with just a 1.4ghz Pentium M, now I've added one back to my arsenal. However, if all goes well, it'll be sold to fund a faster rig.

Won't help, it hasn't been updated for Sandy Bridge yet :ohwell: :o

I was in a rush and didn't look, figured I'd try to help at least. :(

No issue. I'll update it whenever I can get some concrete numbers for SB :)

I have this motherboard in my for sale thread here

[FS][US] Watercooling & parts, parts, and more par... (http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=133623)

Now if this motherboard does not sell, I am going to be in need of a CPU and video card and will just put this system together and start crunching with it.

I am on a very tight budget for the next couple of months, so a cpu and video card as cheap as possible would be great.

Thanks in advance.

that would have been fine if i would have seen that sooner. I have been in the middle of moving again and haven't had the internet till now so haven't been on in awhile. If you still have it next month then i will take it. I have $3 AT. Things are tight but getting better

[brandonwh64]

Ok guys, all i need now to get my cruncher up and running is a AM2 board. it has to have a PCIex and DDR2 533, must have sata and support 4200+. 760 chipset would be nice, also support for 45nm quads would be nice too but ill take what i can get. looking to spend 20-25$

If i still had my gigabyte board near me i would set you up with it for cheap. It has been painted and is old but would work fine.

I will try and see if i can get it back from my friend. :toast:

Well crap, our awesome captain sent me a chip for an s775 motherboard, however I had to part with the board before receiving the chip:shadedshu:cry:

None the less, I have everything to assemble another crunching rig other than the motherboard.

If anyone has a cheap, cheap, cheap LOL, s775 motherboard and is looking to part with it, let me know.

Thanks in advance,:respect::respect::respect:

[theonedub]

Ill keep an eye out. Is the CPU a 65nm or 45nm?

[stinger608]

I think it is an old 65nm chip bro! Just an old P4 s775 3.2 chip that he had laying around.

Thanks man for keeping an eye out!!!!

updated the list for you man :toast:

Well guys both my quad cruncher is gone and now im in the middle of a x58 build for crunching. if anybody has a cheap x58 board, i can pay around 75-80$ shipped for one.

Hey CP, edit the first post and put me down as having a ton (about 120) Kingston KNE100TX NIC cards. Just pay the shipping with no additional cost.

Also, I have a D-Link DI-604 wired 4 port router with the power adapter that I have had for sale for some time. If a Cruncher on this team is in need of a good router, I would ship to him/her for the cost of shipping as well.

Crunching update!

My parts for my new X58 cruncher are scheduled to be here tomorrow but with the blizzards in the north eastern US, i doubt i will get my CPU til monday :(

I was going to get my 4200+ crunchin last night but a friend needed some help applying thermal paste on the 8800Ultra so no time to get dualie crunching

oooh yea lmao ... never really owned intel hw but hahaha ... i guess a funny on me lmao

Socket 775 started with Pentium D 805 and went to E8600 or so in the dual core range.

[Trigger911]

i got a p4 sitting here i got free but i need a cpu mount the platic on that was on it has a stand busted off anyone have one laying around for me ... I plan on using it as a nas and to have as a secondary cruncher while its in use

[brandonwh64]

It wouldnt be worth crunching unless you can get a 100W PSU to work with it

[Trigger911]

ok thanks for the tip i am looking into building a small box with no money in it to be honest (got laid off in july) .... a p4 3.2ghz should do it as it will be only server movies and pics to my wii's and xbox1's .... I didnt think it would be worth crunching with it but you just approved my idea lmao

I'm going to be selling off my 1156 i3's over the next while here slowly, one leaving this week.

Being the Sandy i3's are not really clock monsters what should I go with instead?

They unfortunately need to be fairly cheap as the only reason I can really afford to do this like I do is because I build systems I can sell and let them cunch until the day they do sell.
I don't really want to take the major hit in PPD but I have a feeling I'm going to have to give up some.

I'm really having a hard time here because I have found a selection of fairly cheap mainboards that will push all my older i3's over 4ghz without any issues.

I just sold my i7 920 and Rampge II Gene along with a Tt Jing for $270 shipped.

I'm sure if you want to go the older i7's you could get something to fit the bill.

[niko084]

Let me be a bit more clear...

I run a retail store, my crunching/folding systems are display systems primarily.
I do not mind having a few moderately higher end systems on the shelf HOWEVER, most systems I sell are around the $550-$650 range. That puts an i7 out of the question, in fact it puts the i5 out of the question most likely *but that's pretty much a waste over an i3 for PPD anyways*.

My realistic options are as follows....

AMD Athlon II, lower cost Phenom II, and i3's which are starting to get me stuck with Sandybridge chips.

Most of these systems are very similar to the following-
i3 540 @ 4ghz, 4gb ram, 500gb hd, win7 x64, gts450
They run F@H and WCG.

They need to land in the same price range as the above, these systems typically sell for around $850-$1000 depending on particulars and that's with around a $200-$300 profit depending again. It needs to stay in that range.

Im sorry but what your saying is mostly you can only build a cheap cruncher and only a Phenom x6 would get like 3K-4K a day. a quad maybe 1500-2500 a day.

A used I7 920 and board OCed to atleast 4Ghz would push 4-5K a day and with the new sandy bridge upgrades, i forsee alot of those systems for sale soon

[p_o_s_pc]

I would look into the lower-end PII systems then. The PII is starting to get really cheap and the boards are also cheap. No matter what you get in that price range they are all going to be nearly the same performance wise.

[BinaryMage]

Around that price, AMD procs might be your best bet. You could get some cheap Phenom X4s or X6s. The lower-end Phenom X4s will run you about $100, like this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103824). The cheapest Phenom X6 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103851) is $180. I don't know if that is in your budget, but you could probably find used ones for slightly less if you want to go that route. The GTS450 is a good card for your budget, though if you wanted to try other BOINC projects for AMD GPUs, they are much better, GFLOPS/$ wise, at crunching than Nvidia GPUs.

EDIT: brandonwh64, you're correct on the stats numbers, but you can't even find a used i7 920 for under $200, and new they'll go for about $250. I think that's a bit above his budget. And you also forget that AMD cpus are overclockable too. :)

[niko084]

Ya the Phenom II was looking like my best option really... Kinda bums me out, it's not that I can't afford it, it's that my customers wont buy them. I'm kinda in luck here, this is costing me nearly nothing to run all these machines except the massive power bill spike, but that's a tax write off for the company anyways :)

I see that people still are convinced that Intel is the way to go and aren't even willing to give AMD the chance. :(

AMD needs to do some marketing

Not entirely true mate:( $150-$175 for used i7-920's are out there, you just have to be looking in the right place (I had my old i7-920 D0 posted for $175 shipped).

[BinaryMage]

Well, keep in mind that AMD hasn't had a really publicized launch since the original Phenom, which was, let us say, a bit underwhelming. Intel has publicized launches and ads about every year, when they release a new CPU line.

Already put it on there... No offers.

What Sempron is it and how much? I'm looking to get a low power cruncher/light gamer/folder running. The Celeron D that i have just isn't cutting it.

I'm sure a Sempron overclocked would do much better and still be low power and cheap.

Well crap, shit, damn it! Had the frigging clutch go out in my damn Toyota late yesterday on the way home from work........Really, really bad timing to be honest.

Needless to say, the parts are going to cost me about $250, of which I don't have naturally:banghead:

So........It looks as though I am going to have to sell my newly purchased XFX HD5870 video card:banghead: Just to try and get some funds up. This sucks, but I guess a person has to do what a person has to do:mad:

I am thinking that I will sell it for $230 shipped. This has the transferable warranty so it would be a lifetime warranty to the purchaser. I just got the card on Monday of this week, and purchased the card from NFlesher here on TPU. When I received the card it didn't even have any dust on the fan blades. :p He said that it only ran for about 5 hours before he sold it. I believe him due to the fact that there was no dust on it at all. I have only ran the card since Tuesday evening, so the total time on the card is about 53 hours or so. I just now pulled the card and put my old HD4870 back in. Damn this sucks, I really wanted to be able to do some gaming with this card:cry:

Needless to say, I was thinking of offering this to anyone on the crunching team first before putting it up in the "for sale" area of the forums.

Talk to ya all soon. :respect:

Dano

P.S. Nflesher has the original warranty, and I will contact him on whoever purchases the card. Also I would ship it via USPS Priority Mail insured with delivery tracking confirmation number. I will also PM a picture of the card, box, and all accessories (none of which have been opened).

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

i went ahead and just put a link in the OP. thanks! :toast:

Thanks CP, but you might have to edit some of those things out. Initially I had only posted a description and price so I could get some opinions on whether or not I was asking a fair price. I figured I would have to start a normal FS thread to actually sell stuff. I don't know if people got that part or not, but it was called to my attention that I hadn't included pix and that since it wasn't an FS thread, I shouldn't post prices.

You see, I can't remember what I did last time. I think I did an FS thread and then gave a discount for crunchers, but I didn't like doing it that way since in a couple of instances more than one person had an interest in an item and I wanted to give crunchers first crack at a discounted price.

So I thought that this time, in addition to getting a reality check on the prices, I would alert the team to what I had (or technically, was going to have) on offer. But that didn't work out either.

So I'm going to put up a standard [FS][US] thread later today and go from there.

I would still appreciate some input on what people here think are fair (undiscounted) prices for the stuff I've listed (shipping to continental US included). Otherwise, I am going based on completed ebay listings for the same or very similar items and have picked prices toward the low end of the range (if there is a range). None will be the lowest price - just pointing in that direction.

It doesn't look like it's plugged in. Maybe that's the problem. :roll:

Just kidding. ;)

I have my rigs set to check in every 2 hours but for some reason they will sometimes accumulate as many as 60 or more completed work units before reporting them. Data is uploaded and they are ready to report, but don't get reported. The easy config file fixes that by having completed units reported immediately. I'm happy to let the the server and client negotiate when they report though so I don't worry much about it. Either way is probably cool though.

Hey guys. I thought I'd let my fellow crunchers in on this before I list. I'm regretfully breaking down and parting out one of my high end rigs, which includes a 2600k that hits 5.0 on 1.38v stable, a Asus Maximus IV Gene Z Z68 board, 8GB of 1866 Ripjaws, and a EVGA 560ti.

I may see what we can work out on this if its still up in the air. I talked to Asus RMA department today and the support guy said it was highly unlikely that they have any 780G boards in stock that I would at the least get a 785G or 880G as a replacement so i assume it will have ACC to unlock it to a quad.

A lot more wattage than I'll ever need but that's never a problem. Test models? To be honest, just looking for anything that I can rely on for 24/7 crunching, preferably good brand that won't ruin my gear.

Can go to PM's to discuss the rest.

[stinger608]

Okay last night I bumped my i7 930 up to 3.6ghz. Right away it started crunching into the lower 90C temps! None the less I backed it down to the default 2.8ghz. Now for some reason it is still running well into the 80C's during the crunching. This is reporting both in RealTemp and CoreTemp.

Now I am running a Xigmatek Dark Knight on the chip. I pulled the cooler to check the coverage of the TIM which looked fine. I cleaned everything and reinstalled Ceramique TIM to the chip. As it was stated it is crunching in the high 70C's and low 80C's at the default 2.8ghz.

Do I need a better cooler? Using AMD chips for several years I am not sure what a great cooling solution is for these chips. Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

[Mydog]

Did you lower vcore when you put it back to stock?

[KieX]

Yeah, those temps are a bit high, since it ain't summer yet. Not sure how the Dark Knight performs, but as Mydog suggested it could be something with the vcore. Ideally you want to be under 1.3V on D0 chips for those clocks, after that the heat builds up very quickly with frequency increases.

As far as I know I never fooled with the Vcore at all. I just bumped the FSB up to 200 rather than the default 133. I didn't mess with any voltage settings when I raised it up to the 3.6ghz.

Now this is very odd. I go into MSI's "overclocking center" and it is showing the CPU temps between 58c and 68c? It is also showing the Vcore bouncing from about 1.27 to 1.32 volts? After checking again I have seen the Vcore jump to 1.387 volts! Is that waaaaaaay too high?

Here is a screenshot:

http://img.techpowerup.org/120129/Capture001708.jpg

[Mydog]

I would do a clear cmos and see if that's helping, 1,38vcore is way off

[stinger608]

Rebooted and jumped in the BIOS which shows that the Vcore is set at 1.208 volts. I have to believe that the MSI Overclocking Center is reporting wrong?

Also after booting back into windows it is showing temps from mid 50C's to upper 60C's which is to be expected I guess while crunching.

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah, it must've been bumping vcore up a lot. those chips once over 1.3v will build heat like you have no idea!
