Weirdly enough only my 6700k has one of these new work units at the moment, I'm wondering what the points are going to be like...

I've separated off my AMD and Intel machines, sadly though, I'm really considering to retire the 2600k, the Xeon V3 and the 6700k as the points I'm getting from them are terrible and I don't feel they are worth keeping going.. So I might see if I can do some fine tuning and see if there's some better scores I can get from them as they are all only quad cores sadly...

guess its time to kill-a-watt measure all of Your rigs and check efficiency.
without measure obviously ryzens are best...
thinking about changing my 3960x to another 1700 rig.
but like I said, gotta kill a watt it first (cant really get a hold of one of those device in here right now)
 
I made a decision today to devote a rig to the rainfall project just to see how it goes. I want to get a jump on it so I can get maximum badges later. No WU's yet...

I'm sad enough @Lorec to know this already and I test before I let them run to be honest (do it with every appliance in the house.... :eek:) Take a look here :)

I think the time of the Ryzen will step forward and the use of Intel for me at least with the quad cores, they won't get used :(

Omg that link is gold, thanks for Your hard work Phill-senpai :D
sad times are coming indeed, time to move on from intels heavy duty cpus.
but im really looking forward to ryzen 9 3900 with 65W tdp, that will be a breakthrough crunching :D
 
@phill , try that 6700K on MIP.

I guess it's no different really than the 1700/2700 that we already have to be honest but with a few more cores it's even more impressive. I guess the slight drop in CPU speed etc might not hurt scores too much.

They will be lousy, so were the beta run for this project Points all over

I've got a 2600k and the E3-1245V3 as well @thebluebumblebee, worth putting them on MIP as well?
 
To me, MIP runs on Intel like Zika does on Ryzen.

16 hours worth of computing... of course granted points might be lower.
Doesnt seem worth it.
One zika is like 60-70 for like 50ish minutes per WU

So thats what's up!??
I saw on my 3960X rig that MIPs run 1,5~2hrs WUs... after I assumed Zika is done, I set full MIP on my 1700 rig only to find that on ryzen the MIP WUs are like 3 times bigger.

Interesting.
There might be a profit in getting that xeon 2690 v2 I've seen locally... :D :D

Ryzen/Linux/MIP is a poor combination, I warned you :laugh:. Leave the MIP crunching for your Windows Intel as @thebluebumblebee wrote some posts above.
 
Lorec said:
How about Intel/Linux/MIP?
that'd free up some resources...

I haven't tried that combination, well not true but that was on my 2520M and that errors out but I thinkt that is due to low L3 cache
 
Weather is finally getting cooler- bumped the TR to run an additional 2hrs/day.
 
Finally got my first ARP WU. Had to abort the 2 days of cached WU's for other projects. Painful, but I am excited about the new project. This PC will exclusively run ARP for a bit.

Thats hella lot of rigs You have there, @phill
Id love to have as many, thank goodness I dont have space for it ... yet :D

Thanks @Lorec but that's not including any of the servers I have downstairs ;)

Here's a full list -

135483


It's rare that everything goes on but I will say that the 2600k is the same rig, just the SSD is split with a dual boot OS, Linux and Windows :) Windows runs my backup software for my NAS and Linux is just crunching :)
That said I see the 6700k has increased a little since yesterday.. just shy from 8500.. Meh, not too bad still :)

That's the other issue as well mate, having all these rigs is lovely but crikey if I had them all running 24/7 for WCG I'd be living on the streets unable to pay for the electric!! Even with solar power it helps but as it's coming into winter for the UK now, shorter days and rain most days isn't going to help my scores lol

2700x is 16 threads running stock clock under Ubuntu, I think it is slightly slower than the 14 threads 2700X-1, around 50 MHz. Points are very close to what I get per hour doing MCM. How do yours fare?

My main PC is giving me fits today. My Firefox browser won't open or close, it just hangs. And Boinc is running WCG, but the Boinc Manager can't connect to the client so I can see what's going on. My desktop icons disappeared, NordVPN just hangs and I can't even access Windows settings. Ack!

I worked through other problems by logging as Administrator, and running an update. Wish me luck.

I'm still waiting for the points to be dished out for mine, but hopefully soon :)

Give it a restart :D :D
 
@phill Restart, Shutdown -- I've tried them all. Looks like a PC rebuild is coming my way soon. :(
