There won't be as much of a difference with a q6600 versus QX9650 unless they are both at stock but the i7 with new mobo would be a nice addition to the crunching force.

i7 is 8 cores. More cores is better for production anyway you slice it. Oops. I mean 8 Work Units at once.

My slip. Basically slower though. I mean maybe I am not looking at it right but I average about 5:50 hours per HCC unit at 2.8ghz and at 3ghz on my Xeon s775 It only takes me like 3:39.

At 4ghz my s771 Xeons take about 3 hours even. Same story with the QX9650 at 4ghz. So it's sort of odd. How fast does a 4ghz 920 turn an HCC WU?

Looks like with mine at 3.9, just under 4 hours. I know more once it runs a while.

Not sure how clock speed for an i7 relates to clock speed on a 45 or 65nm s775 or s771 chip. One thing I do know is I have great love for my Dual Harpertown Rig It's been churning out units like a dog in a dumpster...

Got my 940 back from Fit today, toying with the DFI. Here are some interesting pics. And the cpu has been crunching for longer than the time displayed in RealTemp, 10+ minutes extra. Temps are a bit higher than using 1.425v when I was doing 175x23.

I was just playing around. Though I am glad I did upgrade all the fans in my loop to 3k Ultra Kaze's (6 of them no less), load temps dropped about 20c per core. 4 Yate Loon Meds, a High, and the fan that came with my HSPC Techstation were no match for the heat this chip kicked out, though my 920 D0 that I hope to get tomorrow should run cooler than this chip. I'm just glad to have a higher OC on this chip for now, maybe help get my BOINC production up some.

Looking good dark. :up: (really need to get this smiley!) I want to keep heat manageable, especially since I'm on air. That's why I stopped at 3.9. A lot of extra voltage for those last 200mhz.

Yea, Fit had a nice fan controller he gave me so I can turn the Kaze's down a bit at night. One thing I learned from having all those other fans is going for silent might work against you.

Do you live in a warehouse? I've currently only got 3 rigs up as one went down and I'm now replacing it. I guess I'd better get it done fast before you add another rig.
