Threadripper looks like it's going to be a crunching monster!

Unfortunately my budget stops somewhere in Ryzen territory

Definitely considering selling one of my X79/3930k setups to finish up another Ryzen build....

Arjai · Aug 3, 2017

Just got the MadShot AMD 4400+ up and running, again! It's a newer, faster CPU, it used to be a 3800+.

Hopefully, it will be enough, after it spools up, to get me consistently in the Top 20.

Next up is either the i5 to i7 switch or, finishing the APU that is cluttering up my living room. :laugh:

I am hoping to hook it up, via HDMI cable, to my Sony smart tv. Then, at some point this winter, use some school money to buy a decent GPU and an SSD for it. It could then become my couch-surfing-gaming-YouTube-Cruncher Computer.

I suppose that is why I have been putting it off, instead of building it twice.

With that logic, looks like the i5 to i7 will be the next project. Possibly even before bed tonight, possibly. I need to eat first, then we'll see how I feel.

Problem is, I have to wait for the dishwasher to finish then prepare and cook. Not sure if I want to start into it, then have to stop and eat...

Ah, effenhiemer!! Just DO IT!! 3770, here I come!!
:lovetpu:

Selling one of my 3930k setups- a discount is available for TPU crunchers or folders

Dammit! Either the 3770 I bought is trash or, something died while taking it apart. The silly code thingy indicates a failure. It wants me to unplug everything and see if it posts.

I don't want to do this tonight...

On another note, MadShot froze a couple times. I am now downloading all the Ubuntu/Mint updates. So, it should be fine once they are installed....or, not! Just glanced at the monitor, hooked up to MadShot and, it froze again!!

So far, nothing seems to be going correctly! :mad:

I hope with a few more re=boots I can get it to run.

The OptiPlex, that I wanted to put the 3770 in is going to the shop. Hopefully, they can get it operating for me at a small cost.

Processor arriving early by 28th.
Will try to complete the build in the weekend.
Finalized the Mobo. going to buy the Asus ROG Strix B350-F.

EDIT: Athon 5350 will be become the dedicated cruncher for the time being.

The processor still haven't arrived. :mad:

Will know by tomorrow when it's arriving. hoping this weekend i will get it. fingers crossed.
Ordered the Asus ROG Strix B350-F mobo and will pick it up on Saturday from a local retailer. cost be about $157 including taxes.

No idea what RAM i should get, as the prices are very high at the moment.
In past i picked up a corsair 32 GB DDR3 1600MHz kit for less than $150, but now i can only find corsair 8GB 3200MHz RAM for about $130. :banghead:

Thanks, nice to be back. While doing a little bit of health detox, guess I needed a bit of TPU detox :laugh:

but I'm planning on hanging around for a while. Glad to see everyone still kicking around and rocking

If I miss them, please feel free to jump in for me. I'll shoot you a PM when I get a few minutes and we'll chat.

I've been having a bit of a break from online too, but wanted to ask if anyone else has Beta tasks and what they are for?
I've currently got two in my list waiting to run.
I did have a read back through the threads but didn't see any mention of new tasks being put out.

thebluebumblebee · Aug 11, 2017

Beta's can be for new projects or new work for existing projects. Sometimes there are clues in the filename.

Added a Ryzen 1700X to my crunching fleet

Should have the 1600X back up running by tomorrow- any idea what version of Ubuntu runs best for Ryzen cpu's?

Sup'ed. Personally I would go for the flavor that brings support for the TR4 boards. Any one with build plans?

theonedub · Aug 12, 2017

Haven't had a chance to visit the thread in a while- work has been hectic. I am looking more into a Threadripper build. I have been mulling the X99 upgrade for a while now, but the massive clock speeds on a 16c/32t setup seems like the way to go even over the 20c/40t Broadwell-E QS Xeons I have been eyeing at ~$700. I'm going to look at board costs and see what the total cost difference is- not amused that EK wont be selling an adapter for the Supremacy blocks though.

I would think you'd want the newest kernel. I searched "Linux on Ryzen" and found this:

OS HDD crashed, all data lost :banghead:

. Currently setting up the system with BOINC and will let the OS update for the night.
Also moved the AM1 system back into the ITX case. don't know what will be the temps with the Passive cooler and very low air flow. Will know in the morning if it caches fire or not. :pimp:

NOTE: Never going to buy another HDD again.

Norton · Aug 14, 2017

Put the 1600X rig back together and it started right up on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Did some checking and it looks like the latest development version should work. Downloading Ubuntu 17.04 now- will just do a fresh install and see how it goes

Update- Ubuntu 17.04 installed and system is crunching :cool:

Weird, I wasn't getting notifications for this thread..

Hey @manofthem, sorry I missed that post, cool to see you hanging out on the fourm. Hope things are looking up for ya

Nice one Norton, you'll be flying past me in any moment then! And on the Linux front, I'm using Mint 18.1 on both of mine, I think it's the same thing under a more windows 7/10 style I find easier to navigate, but you should be fine on ubuntu if you can get on with the layout.

Just for a little while- still Summer and don't need the extra heat atm. Will probably go with 2 extra rigs until the end of the week.

I'm used to Ubuntu and I just set it and forget it so there's no real issue with the layout

AM1 System now dedicated cruncher.
Temps are stable at 64 C after running for 2 days but something odd is happening; It's running only at 1600MHz at full load.

Things are going ok just fairly overwhelming and exhausting lol. This summer has been hot and this past week or 2 feels like the heat just got cranked up higher. :cry:

But it's all good, thanks for the shout out. I'll try to poke in more often if I have the energy and am not knocked out in bed

Hang in there bud... don't know how you and CP stand being in that S Florida heat!!! :fear:

Had the Ubuntu install take a crap on my 3930k rig

Not sure what happened but it was old (12.04 LTS) and had been through a couple rigs. I put a fresh install of the latest version (16.04 LTS) and it seems to be doing fine so far. The stinker is that the old OS wasn't even stable enough to upgrade so I lost a bunch of work on it :shadedshu:

Indeed, don't think I could ever handle a true NE winter, or NW winter for that matter. However, I can't say that I fully get used to the weather here. Sure, we handle it better than others from out of state usually, but every summer I find myself thinking and saying, "I can't believe it's this hot. It wasn't this hot last year. I can't do this anymore." in fact, more people around complain 24/7 about the heat and humidity; it's what gets us through it.

Worst part is that it sucks trying to maintain solid and max ppd despite the summer weather.

Age my friend, age! :laugh:

The older ya get the harder it is to deal with high heat or extreme cold. :twitch:

In about another month or so, I'll be bitching how cold it is here.
