downloading a different copy of it as we speak and no idea how well it will work the 3870X2 does not want to post will have to try something else any other heavily multithreaded stuff yall want to see on it?

Here are some pics of my newly built sandy Bridge build:

Heres my rig ATM. (actually as of a month ago)
Just moved house recently and my next plan is to give this rig a nice overhaul with a new case.

[travva]

Here's my new h70 cooling my also new 980x! Case is a bit messy as I've taken a lot of stuff out and put new stuff in recently. Also just installed an awesome new sata3 2TB drive so i finally have some friggin storage space! sorry for crappy pic too, my droidx cam isn't the best.

wow that sux about the 3870x2, hope ya get it workin.

nice rigs guys

[Red_Machine]

Finally have pics of my new rig.




Nice close-up of the GTX 580.


Coolermaster HAF 922 case.


I love stickers! The nVidia one is an old one that I got off eBay a while back.

in folding i'd say it should kick ass, for gaming not so much.

dont forget that every CPU has its own memory controller, thats a lot of added bandwidth - even if its on old, slow ram

it will be soon right now i am still playing with os's it does perform pretty well 2.93ghz 8c/16t i7 still beats it but in heavily multithreaded stuff it still holds its own.

dont forget about numa!

So how much does it cost, compared to a common i7 setup?

for normal people the board alone is $800+ i got it in trade for a partial mini itx rig on xs

[[Ion]]

From what I've seen at XS you can get a setup with 4 quad-core Opterons for about $800 or so.

thats about right if shop around these chips (8350s) are not that expensive i got my last quads 8347HE's for $40ea

[brandonwh64]

Hell CD if you ever decide to get rid of it, i would be interested cause that would make a nice cruncher! i would think it would ATLEAST get 6K PPD

Oh wow, that's insane! I take it the board is by far the most expensive part?

I'd estimate ~1-1.3k PPD per quad, so 4-5.4k for them all. Or, regrettably, less than a SB i7 @ ~4ghz

[Arrakis+9]

Should be getting in the last of my parts tonight i'll post pics of hexy with her new name plate later if all goes well. shes almost finished !

should get more than that the

EDIT:
Got 30 days worth of results from WCG site and plug into spreadsheet:
1354 9963 ppd wcg avg
1354 10023 ppd wcg avg
dual 8356 16880 ppd wcg avg
total 36866 ppd wcg avg

These are about what I get at Free-DC. Total of 3 = 5235 RAC Boinc at Free-DC.

Anyone else with some numbers for Opteron quad cores? I am going to be real frustrated if these have run all this time and should have been doing more because I missed something.:upset:

I cannot find a breakdown per device per day average for WCG points so I'll multiply BOINC PPD AVG. by 7

3373 * 7 = 23611 PPD WCG

I'm not sure what you're trying to calculate PG, I'm guessing PPD per Core? If that's the case I don't think multiplying by GHz is necessary

You have the 8356 which is 2.3ghz IIRC and I've got 8346 which is 1.8ghz so I'm guessing that's why on a per core basis your opty's are beating mine. Upgrading to the 8356 is tempting... but I've got other plans ;P

I am trying to figure out how to determine what is normal, correct or whatever for the output of a Gen 3 Opteron quad core. What Skycrane says he is seeing or expecting and what I am seeing are not very close. Giving him the benefit of doubt I am trying to figure out if I am wrong, missing or not understanding something. It is NOT about who is right but about making sure WE all get what we should for the electric we use.

I may be misunderstanding but


I showed in other posts that I was getting ALOT less. I would be delighted if these Opterons did do those numbers. BUT if they do why am I not seeing it? Am I doing something wrong? Wouldn't you want to know?

My dual 8356 get 2400 boinc rac. Links above in earlier post. Sky says quad 8356 does 9k. My math is good enough to see 2400 x 2 does not equal 9k. A single 1354 at 2.5gz, 200 mz OC, does 1400 so I thought the numbers were about right for the dual 8356.

People are saying they want a quad opteron system too at 50k plus ppd. I think we need to figure this out before people start buying.

And I apologize to Sky if all this is embarrassing of putting you on the spot. I'll shut up if it does. But I really want to figure this out. Hope you do too. :up:

Sexy!

[Athlonite]

jeez this page requires 25.5MB of downloading to view it HOLY! shit.. Can some of you guys postin up huge ass pics please resize them, some of them are bigger than my monitor which is a complete waste of bandwidth

[grunt_408]

Hi all. Long time no post for me so I thought I would throw in a pic of the i7 rig. I just finished re routing tubes and I am happy with the temps now. Never mind the dust

[Cold Storm]

looking good craig!

I got something tonight to show. Waiting on a video card.

Nice stuff Cant wait for my SB setup to arrive, hoping for 5GHZ 24/7
<--------see for specs

What do you have your SB clocked at atm?

So how's that single bay reservoir/pump working for you. Is it powerful enough and quiet?

I read a few reports of people having excess noise issues with them.
