This is the second 3900X cruncher (replacing the E5-2683 cruncher). The first one is still crunching away with the Hero board.
I will mess with lowering the Vcore tonight and re-enable Core Performance Boost.

And fix the RAM speed and IF....

What is wrong with the RAM speed and IF (Infinity Fabric I am guessing)???

I assume that you have DDR4-3200 since that what the BIOS said. Ryzen Master say IF 1200 (DDR4-2400) and memory clock 1067, should be 1600 both places.

Yep - shoot I missed that. Thanks! At first the Gigabyte board wouldn't let me use the XMP profile for this RAM (I have had this kit for about 4 years). But once I updated the BIOS, I was able to run them at their rated speeds.

I had the same problem with mine the first day.

As I like to make sure my crunchers are stable, I ordered another motherboard today. Also ordered a larger case and a 360 rad. I am going with a ASUS ROG Strix B550-F motherboard. I would like to get another Hero, just can't afford it thought.
Hopefully will have everything in a couple days so I can get this 3900X crunching!!!

A few weeks back I purchased an ASUS ROG Strix B550-I micro ITX board from Micro Center and everything was mostly functioning but there is some kind of hardware bug issue with the new Intel 2.5GB NIC chips (Intel® I225-V 2.5Gb Ethernet). I was having compatibility issues with my ATT fiber networking connection and router. My wired LAN download speeds were very negatively impacted with that chip. The WIFI worked fine. Supposedly Intel is working on a hardware design revision which would then go out to board manufacturers. I decided to exchange my B550-I at MC for a mint condition Strix X570-I (Open Box) and saved $30. The Strix X570-I uses the previous generation Intel 1Gb Ethernet chip. YMMV but I believe the B550-F has the same Intel 2.5Gb setup. My SFF box is listed in the Forum system specs. I'm now working on converting it to custom water with a slim 240 rad.

Thanks for the info!

My 3900x is running the same exact vcore according to CPUz. I couldn't get lower on my initial attempts, but I hope for better success with your setup.

Anyone see this.?

140K, outstanding for a single day result.

s3thra welcome to TPU

@phill 's going to be busy with that one:

I had a message from @s3thra asking where his slice of pie was and found out he had hidden himself so no one could see him or the results he was putting up, so I think this is a one off, as it's grabbed all his points and put them as one days worth I mean if he could manage 140k a day, I'd be in awe and impressed to say the least but it's definitely not a requirement!!

@s3thra we'll be seeing you tomorrow for a slice of pie and a milestone or two Welcome to the team as I said before

 

[s3thra]

Haha, well I've found one way of jumping to the top of the list!

Thanks @phill and @Rossix71, glad to be aboard.

Seems my rig is having a little bit of stability issues, and I've yet to delve into it. If I have some time later today, I'll give a look at memory and my cpu clock.

Last night I paused crunching as I was getting some random reboots, so my ppd will be lower today. After just checking it, it stayed up and running for the past 9 hours. Now resumed crunching so I expect it to give me issues.

There is also one more thing I'll look at and it's my old ADATA nvme ssd. Whenever I get these hard reboots, the drive disappears from the bios and os. This same drive used to do this in my old build, but I always thought it was mobo related. Thankfully it's not my system drive right now.

Just in case people are having network issues with their work units and don't know why...

WCG Maintanence for 4 hours

Summary
We are updating the operating system on our servers on Thursday, August 13 beginning at 17:00 UTC.

We will be applying an important operating system update to our servers on Thursday, August 13 beginning at 17:00 UTC. We anticipate that the work will take approximately four hours.

During some of this time, volunteers will not be able to upload or download new work, and the website will not be accessible.

Volunteers will not need to take any particular action, as your devices will automatically retry their connections after the maintenance work is completed.

We appreciate your patience and participation.

I saw it yesterday but forgot about it again. I have loaded a few more Rosetta units to keep the CPU warm.

 

[phill]

I was having some issues with one of my crunchers, couldn't get a network connection for some reason and then found out why, sort of... Stupid cable stopped working or something.. But after a load of testing and swapping things around, it's back up and running.... Such a strange thing!!

I'm glad though I had enough in the tank to keep them busy, I don't wish to be running out of work units

 

[phill]

I'm not sure what is going on with Free-DC today guys, but there's not data on the entire page at the moment... Will have to have a look later and post something up with some luck

Boincstats, temp fix for now @phill, FDC has better graphs though.

Boincstats are one day behind as well.

I hear that its almost August 16th, where im at lol.

The stats are always a day behind, but now Free-DC site seems to be offline altogether at the moment... Reboot might have been needed I guess...

I'll keep an eye to it I have some data from the Boinc pages anyways, so we should be fine Thanks guys for the help posts

Going to have a few hot days coming up so instead of shutting down I decided to set the cpu maximum at 50%. Surprisingly that only takes my temps down 5-7 degrees and brings the power usage down about 40-45 watts. I would have expected them to go lower than that. Curious to see how it affects the ppd.

 

[HammerON]

Alright! I am happy to report that this ASUS ROG Strix B550-F board is so much better than the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra board I had.

 

[mstenholm]

Almost 9 hours for a Open Pandenmic? My stock Linux 3900X use 1:40.

 

[phill]

Not sure what is going on with the data points at the moment with Free-DC but it's making things interesting!! LOL

I hope everyone is doing well??
