Help me optimize my Phenom 9850

BUCK NASTY · Oct 27, 2009

Ok, just brought this cpu back over from F@H. What kind of avg points should I expect @ 3.0ghz running WCG? I need some feedback to identify a possible issue this rig/cpu may be having.

What motherboard do you have paired up with it. It makes a difference cause I couldn't get that CPU past 2.8 with my M3A32 but then when I got my M3A79-T it made it to 3.1. Now that I got it back from RMA it won't go past 2.7. Point is what MB?

Running it in a MSI K9A2 with 4x 8800GTS 512 folding at the same time. She is rock solid at 3.0ghz, so the clock is not an issue. Affinity's are spread among all 4 cores for all major applications.

Buck,

I have a Phenom 9950 @2.66 GHz stock crunching 24/7 and makin abt 9500 avg WCG points.

Have u done the CC Config file mod that we have described in the WCG forums? It will help u stabilize ur output!!

A 940 will do about 2k a day @ 3.0 Ghz BOINC points.

This thread also reminds me of the good ol' days

My bad D

But he should be able to get at least 3.2GHz outta it for folding and such.
It will bring up the scores noticeably higher.

Thanks for the help guy's. Seems to be putting out 9.5-10K after modding the cc config file. I have an x2 7750 that I might be able to unlock 2 extra cores on. I will try that this weekend. Hoping to have 18 cores running if all goes well.
