The Official Team TPU Crunching Farm Planning Thread

Chicken Patty · Mar 16, 2011

Hello team,

Wanted to create this thread to have a place where we can discuss our future plans for our crunching farms. Upgrades/downgrades/replacements/hardware shuffling, whatever. Post'em up and let's see what we have in mind for the future.

I'll start it off:

For my 2nd cruncher below, I have another X2 coming my way. However, I am going to be passing on that rig to my GF for her birthday on May 10. Once I do that, I will be building an intel rig to boost the PPD of my farm. Something at least quad core with HTT.

Expected completion date is about end of may or early June.

I have a Asus P6T board on its way, should be here today or tomorrow but when it gets here, i will HOPEFULLY be able to OC to 4Ghz

Chicken Patty · Mar 16, 2011

Awesome, time to let those PPD fly! :rockout:

brandonwh64 · Mar 16, 2011

I believe this will be my last build for a long time. i will only add parts as they fail

Good thread.

Not to be off-topic, but I originally clicked on this thread through the active discussion at the top of the main forum page. I thought it was going to lead me to a thread about Farmville on Facebook and I was going to troll it.

I no longer will. Have a good day!

Glad to see you have Trolling Standards lols

I have the xeon going and the cruncher i won last year... Had to quit folding my power bill was getting out of hand

Should have a 965 up pretty soon. I have it I jst need to get it set up with the client and OC. Don't really have any plans on expanding. Looking for another xeon system combo used if I can find one at a good price though :toast:

OK. I'll be able to finally fill my x58 motherboard with good cards. I got an msi x58 pro-e, but when three card are in, there about a 1/4 of an inch between them, goddamn it's hot! So i bought a open box gigabyte x58 udp3 for 140$, will sell the msi, and hopefully be able to fill the board with the three cards i've got : msi gtx 460 768, gigabyte gtx 460 768 and my good old evga gtx 275 co-op. With my 950 in i'll be able to pull around 60000 ppd. I'd like to have another rig, but i'll have to wait until i've got more money to spend on it... For now i think it'll do the job!

Bow · Mar 16, 2011

I have only had this rig running for 2-3 weeks, not sure when I willl start anything new.

This is WCG not F@H

Chicken Patty · Mar 16, 2011

I'm just wondering what to replace the 3rd rig with after I finish the 2nd one. It's only a Pentium D for now, if I can get a other quad with HTT that would be awesome.

At that point it would be about 8-9k ppd from rigs 2&3. Then about 3.5k ppd from my thuban.

Chicken Patty · Mar 16, 2011

Title was changed.

ERazer · Mar 16, 2011

well im still alive tho i kinna back down of cruching im waiting which flatform im going to upgrade

HammerON · Mar 16, 2011

Well - hopefully (after a week since payment) I will be getting the Asrock X58 motherboard so I can start crunching on the i7 920 that has been sitting doing nothing for a month. All of those poor puppies (remember CP?)

Mindweaver · Mar 17, 2011

The Puppies!... :cry:

lol I had to do it..hehehe :toast:

Great thread CP! :toast:

I hope to have another 2600k or a BullDozer in a few months. :toast:

brandonwh64 · Mar 17, 2011

Ok well i got my new P6T board and i still cannot get this chip stable AT ALL over 3.5ghz

im starting to think i have a dud chip. it will boot and go into windows with 1.275-1.3v but when i try ITB it BSOD after 5 seconds

DO you need a EVGA X58 SLI LE board?

KieX · Mar 23, 2011

I have a work in progress atm. Have no intentions to replace sister's E6300 or my work i7 930 but I'm almost finished with my bedroom's crunching farm:

3 out of those 4 are the new Sandybridge i7 2600K (4.6GHz, 4.4GHz, 3.8GHz). Next up will be to replace the Rampage 3 Extreme with another 2600K. Then I'll take my time to OC them all to 4.6GHz.

Estimate around 24K PPD @ 600Watt. And hope to complete it all before end of April. Heat and noise are actually incredibly low.

Chicken Patty · Mar 23, 2011

That's just lovely Dan. :respect:

dying to get a 2600K!

4x4n · Mar 23, 2011

Kick ass set-up you have there KieX. Hoping to get a 2600k some time this summer.

Bow · Mar 23, 2011

I sure would take parts donations to build another Cruncher

mjkmike · Apr 3, 2011

It's my birthday at the end of the month. Last year I gave myself an I7930 and a 1055t. This year I think it will be another 2600k and then wait for bulldozer. Crunch on and Crunch harder :toast:

Delta6326 · Apr 4, 2011

Well i just added 5 new crunchers! they are all Intel p4's 2 at 3ghz and 3 at 2.8ghz all with 2gb ram they run from00:00 to 23:00 everyday!!

But i have a question when I first set up the program and type in my username and pass does it automatically send the point towards me and tpu?

Awesome stuff :toast:

To answer your question: yes, once you entered your username and password the points go to your account with our team. If you want to double check they are added correctly log into the WCG site and check your Device Manager, the new additions should appear in that list.
