Arjai · May 15, 2014

FA@H has been giving low points lately, as has MCM. whatever. They both have fluctuated a bit in the past.

I run all projects, enjoying the ride.

@MxPhenom 216, that looks so much "can fall any second"

Nordic · May 15, 2014

@MxPhenom 216, back when I had a laptop and crunched on it, I held it up with two thicker school books and put a corsair stock 120mm fan under it. Dropped me 20c.

librin.so.1 · May 15, 2014

I use 4 small equal-sized wooden blocks to lift my laptop up. And use a large cork to hold the lid just right below the position where the screen goes off. I should take a photo or something...

MxPhenom 216 · May 15, 2014

Not having money to spend on computer stuff sucks, when its too easy to look on newegg at a bunch of new stuff!

I want this chip for my fileserver to crunch on.

Me too. I've got 3 rigs full time, 1 part time, and my phone all evening and night, and I can't believe it.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 16, 2014

looks like the cpu should be in my hands for the challenge rig #1 tomorrow. I will finish the build sunday and put it through it's paces. I have already tested all the hardware in hand and have the mobo mounted.

Bow · May 16, 2014

I was hot today, CPU fan on my second cruncher running at 100%, its screaming. Temps at 52c on all six cores. Opened the side panel and have a small fan blowing on it.

librin.so.1 · May 16, 2014

I blame FAAH for the low points. For that reason, I disabled it yesterday. Although, will be a day or two more till it gets worked out of my buffers.

I'll give mine another couple of days to see if it clears up before I consider changing my profile....

@Bow - is that using the stock AMD cooler or the AC Freezer cooler?

ThE_MaD_ShOt · May 16, 2014

I am going to wait it out and see if it clears up, but yes it is the faah vina units causing it. I got some that have be going for 10 hrs or so in a loop.

Unfortunately it's the stock cooler.

I got one that was looping for over 40 hours at the point when I discovered having it. Which was a bit before the challenge started.

We had this problem before with the vina units. They got it straighten out. Hopefully they will straighten these out

A fun thing about those xeons, you can't overclock them, but you can undervolt them a huge amount. It is like reverse overclocking. You can get some pretty extreme efficiency that way. I have a little celeron that under load would use 14w, but after undervolted it runs at 7w underload.

Durvelle27 · May 16, 2014

I'm so jelly of all these crunch rigs

me just sitting here with

Core 2 Duo E4300 @stock (air)
Core 2 Duo E4500 @stock (air)
Snapdragon 800 Quad @stock (passive)
i7-4770 @4.153GHz (water)

I'm also Rank #284 on the Team

Meh, it boosts high enough to warranty the inability to OC IMO
