;1680904']I hope you can too, some friendly competition is always a good thing :rockout::rockout:
I really need some threats so I have a greater incentive to up my output :(
I am liking the way it looks so far. I already have higher numbers today then i have in along time and the day isn't over yet :) so when i add 2 more rigs to that(x2 5kBE@3ghz,E7200@whatever i can get) i should be coming close to you again...
You could look at it like this... If you up your crunching power you will have new people to compete with and that will bring more threats and in turn will make you want to up your output even higher :laugh:

I'm estimating I should have ~4500 PPD once things settle down:
~1700 from the Q9400
~700 from the P8600
~1300 from the Q6600
~450 from the E6550
~150 per P4 Celeron
~175 from the Pentium M

Good luck with OCing the E7200, let's see 1000 from it alone :toast::toast:

what would my rigs get

E1500@2.9ghz
E7200@3.4ghz(thats what it has been tested stable at by JR)
P4HT@3.94ghz

@velvet If you still want a dual core for the Biostar board i HIGHLY recommend the X2 240 it clocks great runs cool and is alot faster then the old Athlons :toast:

[Flak]

Woot got the new server board, should have that all up and running if I get the new case on Friday. Had to get a new case, in the process I'm upgrading the storage to 9tb. So the wife says I can't spend for a month or two. So the AMD quad is now a pipe dream. So my current crunchers are:

t42 - pm 1.8ghz
t61 - t7100 1.8ghz
e7200 @ 2.53ghz
q6600 @ 3.2ghz
q9550 @ 3.6ghz

temps have topped at 39c(under a Xigmatek HDT s1283) its running 3.6ghz@1.37v(in bios real volts 1.4v) stock voltage is 1.42v but i got it to run 1.2v at stock speeds. I have seen reviews that have got it to around 1.1v at stock speeds but it BSOD when i try.
keep in mind it is on a old board (that doesn't officially support it :laugh:)

IMO it has the best bang for the buck when it comes to dual core crunching CPUs.
runs cool
decent voltage(for AMD)
45nm
fast
overclocks great(for an AMD :p)
low price point

what more could you ask for in a chip with its price?


BTW the 5kBE@3ghz@1.37v ran ~50c crunching.The old x2 4600+(90nm) ran about 48c@2.5ghz@1.27v :eek: if you notice the chips keep getting cooler and faster :)

chipset is running fine. I'm not sure whats up with it. If i set FSB to 212mhz it will not post now the E1500 keeps BSOD on me :banghead:

did you changed anything, or did these problems appeared "over the night" ?

[p_o_s_pc]

everything was working till i restarted the rig then i just got no post. So it set everything back to stock as a recovery kinda thing. and when i try same settings with everything the same(hardware wise) i get no post at all till i put everything to stock again :banghead:
so yes the appeared "over the night"

EDIT:i am testing the E1500 right now. I think the OC was just alittle too high for it to handle on a board that undervolts the CPU :banghead: and has no voltage options

your board is too weak. probably the voltage supply is too fibbly,or its just the damn bios, like for my 955, in my biostar... if you use unsupported procs, you may encounter shit. sounds really similiar, now that i think about it.
regarding the e1500: lower the fsb 2 notches, and retest it. it sounds like my e5200, that needed up to a week to error out;)

EDIT: you really need the 790 gx ;-)

[p_o_s_pc]

CP sent the 790gx out along with the E7200 and biostar p35 among other stuff

[p_o_s_pc]

P4 crashed also... That does it. Today is Linpack/OCCT/furmark day for all of my main crunchers/folders.

EDIT: I got the overclock stable. it would pass linpack but not OCCT that is why i use a mix of different test. The P4 would work fine till i started both F@H GPU clients and then it hang. So i took out one of the GTs and its working fine. looks like i am down 1 GPU for folding again but atleast it got it crunching. Also CP sent the stuff out friday.

Looks like i am going to have to take the P4 offline till i get the PSU for the main rig as i am going to use the 700w OCZ that is on it to power the X2 240 and 2 8800GT's.

Just added this little combo I picked up at Fry's about a week ago for 79.99 before a $10 mail in rebate. Rebate just pretty much covers the sales tax, (damn 9.9% here in Seattle). This chip seems to be decent. 3.6 with all default settings except the fsb, but the board will not go any higher. 343 solid as can be, 344 results in a instant hard lock. Still not bad for a less than $80 investment, and it's only pulling 98 watts on my kill-a-watt. I think it should be good for about 1000 boinc points a day. I'll try and get some pics up in the farm thread in a couple of days.

The northbridge gets a little hot. It measured almost 60c with my laser temp meter. I ziptied an old amd cpu fan on it and it's about 35-40c now. I'll try to get a pic of up soon. I bet this chip would hit 4ghz on a decent clocking board.

You wont lose everything. There are certian checkpoints in the wu's. It will start at the last checkpoint before the power outage. Same thing happens when you reboot.

On the Help Fight Childhood cancer, you loose all of the progress done :(. I'm not completely sure about all of the other projects, but I think this also occurs with Fight Aids @ Home. Nutritious Rice for the World works fine if the power is lost, you usually loose ~5 minutes of work at the most. For this reason, I run RICE on most of my computers. Avoid running Human Proteome Folding 2, it gives tons of errors on many machines, even ones that are completely stable

Could you go to Advanced-->Preferences and verify for me that the CPU usage is set to 100%?

Since you have a quad, it should be running 4 tasks at once (depending on how you have BOINC set up, you may have to hit "advanced view" first). After you've done all of this, could you open up Task Manager and verify that the computer is running at 100% across all 4 cores?

The 240 is back at 3.6ghz but i had to use Easytune to get it to that speed again (still a no go when try in the bios :wtf:) the P4 is back at running 3.94ghz stable again

*knocks on wood* if all goes well tomorrow i should be at full steam on the WCG side but still 1 GPU short on the folding side:ohwell: i think my day of tweaking,stress testing and fresh installs was long overdue

It's pretty impressive, I recently wiped and reinstalled XP Pro on the old laptop for WCG, and it's faster to boot and load apps than even the E6550 rig....but is still beaten by the T400 and rig in specs. I'm tempted to try out XP Pro x64 on the T400, but I doubt that I could find drivers for it, and I have things set up the way I like them :p And Aero is nice :o
I don't think that the ~75 PPD extra is really worth it for all of the trouble it would be and the large chance of things not working properly

if things are how you like them and everything is working then don't change anything. The only reason i did is because i was using the same install i used on 3 boards and a few video cards(one of them was ATI the others Nvidia) also i used it on a board with a Via chip set,AMD chipset,Intel chipset and Nvidia chipset. I'm amazed that it even worked

Yup! It's doing 4 tasks at once!:) But the processor load fluctuates from 50% to 100% load as indicated by cpu-z and real temp!:)

I mean by task manager and real temp! Sorry for the unintentional 'dumbness'!

Well I actually found everything I need for $418!!!! now Im really going to bed :laugh:
$700 from Shepard I hope. :D Should swap the diffs while you have it cracked, too. :D again

Naw, it's not going to be from Shep bro. Stage I tranny is about $1250 shipped both way s and it don't replace none of the stuff I need.

I found the Input Shaft, Input Shaft gear, the whole 1st/2nd gear assembly and all the needed seals, oil, etc for about $440 shipped from Jacks Transmissions. I might do that soon :)

I'm almost certainly joining WCG for the CPU side of things, so I need a bit of info.
How many PPD can I expect from:
E5200 @ 3.5 GHz, E6400 @ 2.13 GHz ? (Vista)
The Pentium 4 Northwood 2.8 GHz with 512 MB DDR400 (rig 3 in sig)? (XP)
A T4300 2.1 GHz (which will be in my laptop with windows 7).

Oh, and I'll need to run this program pretty much undetected on the E6400, is there a way to install it so that it just sits in the background, using CPU when its not being used and not showing any signs of it existing? (well, it can appear in the "installed programs" list, but thats about it).
Thanks for any info on this! :)

I seem to have the semi-official job of estimating PPD for everyone, so here we go:
E5200: ~1000 PPD (as reported by the BOINC manager, BOINCstats.com, and Free-DC), 7000 PPD as reported by worldcommunitygrid.org
E6400: ~600 PPD (BOINC), ~4200 PPD (WCG)
P4 Northwood: ~250 (BOINC), ~1700 (WCG)
T4300: ~600 PPD (BOINC), ~4200 (WCG).

As for WCG on the E6400, there's not really anything you need to do, I have it installed on my parent's rig and it stays running even while my brother is playing video games on the computer, it just automatically backs off CPU usage. I have set up BOINCview to monitor it remotely, and I can see the CPU usage % drop from ~98-99% when the computer is not being used to ~60% across both cores when he is playing a game, but it still runs in the background. Do your folks use Task Manager much, and if so, do you think they would notice the 100% CPU usage and try and do something about it? You could always set it lower, but, if anything, it's possible that it would be more noticeable because the graph in Task Manager would bounce around more. Setting it to a lower CPU usage % tends to assure people more because things aren't always at 100%, but in reality it just gives less PPD and doesn't make it any less noticeable (as it has no noticeable effect on system performance to begin with). I installed WCG on my mom's E6550, and she didn't even notice for the first 2 months, at which point I pointed out that I had set up WCG on it :cool:
So I would say that it is essentially a non-issue for most computers

The more cores the better for WCG. The Q will do much better than the E8400

i dont can tell you why, but somewhere the performance must come from. i never heard someone speaking detailed about HT.
its a very old technology... i believe intel dug it out, due to their inability to built hexacores at first... and remembering of the times, where a XP3200+ fucked a 3.73 ghz p4 in its ass;)

i rememeber some reviews that the P4 got ass raped by the AXP in almost everything. Too bad AMD doesn't get back to that. They need something to rape the i7 and i5 they already have the PII that takes care of the older quads and fairs well against the i5. the Athlon II is good for the low-end C2Q and the i3(is it still going to be released?) I hope bulldozer is a beast after how long they have been working on it. Its supposed to be nothing like the Athlon,Phenom or Phenom II. They really need a kick ass chip. I'm not saying that the PII or AII are shit or anything because they are far from it. The highend PII even touches the i7 in somethings.That tells me that AMD can be neck to neck with intel at the least.

Can those others who try this with C2Qs post up if they see a significant increase in PPD please? thanks! :D

[Supreme0verlord]

I'm not sure if it will increase PPD or not because I had problems with it freezing. I've dropped my OC down to 3.5Ghz and will try to run it for a couple days and see if it does.

[Wile E]

I think I've found what was causing the random bsods, it was either HCMD or RICE. I aborted the projects that I had and switched back to HCC and I haven't had one bsod yet. Which is odd because I've never had problems with those projects before :confused:.

I just had a run of BSODs with RICE as well, but I figured out it only happens when I have the WCG screensaver enabled. I switched to a black screen saver, and it quit so far.

I just posted the inbuilt benchmark on the other thread. Results seem to be in favor of win7 over the VM Linux. But it would be nice to see from someone else if that's a C2Q thing or wether I need to tweak something somewhere.

You can run both at the same time and pretend you have HyperThreading though ;)

The thing is, I have the screen saver completely disabled and it still did it.

So did I, but the Boinc screensaver still tried to turn on. This is on Win7 Pro x64 with x64 Boinc, btw.

When I installed Boinc, I unchecked the "Run Screensaver" box or whatever it was called and under the Windows screen saver settings, I have it set to none.

I think I got my Athlon 2200+ working :toast:

My uncle gave me a nice matching set of 2x256 DDR266 and it's ran beautifully. I manually set the CAS timing and speed in the BIOS and left the other timings alone and it hasn't hiccuped once, and I've been running WCG at 100% on it. Amazing difference over PC133 too...

only problem is I may be getting a magic jack phone which would be running off this computer since I won't put it on my main rig or my laptop, and if WCG interferes with it, I'll have to turn it down or maybe even uninstall it completely... but I'd hope not.

[Snipermonkey2]

So I kinda fell off the horse for a bit there between work/school and other stuff, but I wanted every one to know that tonight I am putting my main rig back on WCG. Also I am working on putting together a 939 rig and getting my other AM2 back online just waiting on two new sata drives.

Ugh, just saw your edit :laugh:

[p_o_s_pc]

as i promised.I said that soon after Christmas i would have another rig running. Well today i ordered a board for the X2 4200+ and a PSU for the E1500 rig

So once i get the PSU buck is sending and the one i ordered the setups will be like this(mostly doing this so i can get my shit in order because i am confused as fuck)

X2 240+GTX260 700w OCZ
X2 5000+BE+8800GT 480w Tt
X2 4200+8800GT OCZ 500w modX
E7200+8800GTS 700w Silverstone
E1500+8800GT 400w corsair

Now the P4 661 will be getting replaced for now with the X2 4200+ till i get the money for a HDD and ram for it also. But the X2 will give much better PPD then the P4 so it will be a upgrade but i do plan to get it running again at a later date.

first: shut down your heater. no heat needs to be generated, even when its -20 degrees celsius outside. you rigs can do that.
second: you need to exchange the warm air with cold from the outside (window)
open window and closed window are up to 15 degrees difference to me.
third:
did you already stapled them rigs to the ceiling?^^
no?
you have space!:D
no really, wireless would give you the possibility to remote admin the rigs in the whole house. you will just need to make sure the settings are stable, because.. remote wont work in bios, as you already know. but its really easy with the version i gave you, when they are;)

I'm thinking about hanging the rigs on the wall(i have seen it done before) i don't think it would be hard to get the mobo's up just need some nails and some thumb tacks(the plastic ones to act as spacers between the board and wall) building alittle shelf for the PSU's and HDD's wouldn't be all that hard. So if i am completely out of space i will go to that. Also when i run out of ways to wire the rigs i will start switching to wireless. The heater isn't even on anymore i would open the window but i don't think 27f air coming in on me would be good when i am already fighting a cold.thanks for ideas

I'm solving my room problem with one of these in another room that I have assembled but I still have your problem #2.
http://img.techpowerup.org/091225/WCG 2009-12-20-1-Shelving.jpg

don't have anymore open Ethernet ports after i add the other X2
This is easy to solve with either a network switch or setting up a wireless network. I'm setting up a wireless access point and bridge. I have my wireless ap but still need to buy the bridge on my next payday.

its getting pretty damn hot in here
CP covered this!

noise is driving me insane sometimes at night
The only way I know is to move them or use quieter fans!

[p_o_s_pc]

i got the noise problem taken care of. i lowered GPU fans to 75% from 100% only ~2c raise in temp
turned on the fan control in the bios on 2 of the crunchers. also i put the video cards back to stock speeds so that will help alitte with heat.tomorrow i will lower voltage a notch on the CPUs and stress test them. If they stay stable on lower voltage at same clock speeds then i will keep it there if not then back to same..So 1 problem solved 1 problem kinda solved

noise =solved
heat= partly solved
space=solutions available
networking=not solved but 2 possible solutions
I am already running wireless so i could just grab 1 more wireless adapter and a cheap hub and have another 5 ports so that would let me network another 6 rigs for almost nothing.there is a used parts shop that sells hubs cheap alot of the times and the wireless adapters can be found for under $20 if you look around. Cheap solutions FTW :rockout:

been running linpack for~20min so far at those clocks. I don't think its doing all that bad... About the same in terms of clock/voltage as the 240. I think with around 1.55v i could get 4ghz like i did the 240 also..

X2 240@3.6ghz@1.37v(in bios)

good news i am going to be upgrading one of my crunchers. I am going to replace the X2 5kBE with the X2 240 and replace the X2 240 with a X2 5000+ 45nm and try to unlock it. If it doesn't unlock then i will just put it in place of the 5kBE

So what this means
Possible quad core
higher 24/7 clocks and better clock for clock

Overclock looks good and so does that Cuda in the background.:toast:

[Chicken Patty]

good going stanhemi, you've been pumping out some great #'s so far bro :)

[p_o_s_pc]

wish i had a chip that would run 4ghz 24/7 :ohwell: nice clock on that quad

i hope today's numbers for me will be better.They should be because none of the rigs have had any down time.

those look like really good temps. you using a full water cooling setup on that?

thought i'd take the opportunity to ask for a heads up on how my one is looking for 24/7?
I'm getting a little paranoid that I may need to get some better fans on my rig.

[stanhemi]

is this your load or idle temps ?and yes i'm using a full water cooling setup on that (2x240mm rad) :)

edit:hw monitor gives me 10c too high for me. I use only REALTEMP:D

oops, should have said! yeah they're the load temps. those are for the 24/7 week long crunching at 100% cpu usage with the odd couple of hours here and there of gaming and movies.

I don't think that is bad at all. My X2 240@3.6ghz is running 26c right now crunching all day long :D seen it touch 30c at the highest. I love how cool these chips run :D

:eek: that's quite something! I've always been using computers as a double-use heater/pc

EDIT: @stanhemi = my realtemp and hwmon temps are exactly the same. only coretemp seems to think they're 5C more

I am running 4 rigs in 1 room ATM soon to be 6 so i don't worry about heaters at all :laugh:

EDIT:here are all of my temps as of lastnight they are all about the same.+/- 2c

you need a special "shoe" for you foot. my granny used it, and was able to walk perfectly fine, even when her whole foot was cracked in 2;)

sadly it costs a few hundred euros, and i dont know if american doctors already use such advanced technology. they seem to be very rare, due to their price and usefullness

Hell yea!.. hehehe I'm going to convert it over to a rechargable battery. :rockout:

They are 5 and 7. I think gameboy first came out when i was 15.... and i got one :roll: Mario kicked ass! I still have it...hehehe I don't throw out anything..lol have you seen some of my older stuff? pics?

I think I will just stick with the 9.6 mod to be safe. It's a little faster but not as fast as the 15v!.. hehehe
