Why? In a crunching rig, all it does is idle, which is 17 watts wasted. That built in G200 with 16MB DDR2 has to be fun though.
Secondly, I think you're hurting your performance with only 2GB of RAM, especially under Windows. You have 12 threads. I've run 8 threads - of FAAH - with 2GB's on Linux (and I knew that I was only going to be running FAAH), but you should probably be closer to 6GB. I see that it says 1.72GB used, but I'd like to see what happens to that if you added more RAM. The accepted "norm" around here has been .5GB/thread. It's even higher if you're running lots of CEP and OET.
 
Im juggling 2 pc builds at the moment,sharing 4gb between them i have 8gb on order. Ultimately Thug will have 4gb.
The 5770 is in for playing purposes and i mean playing around purposes. Just for a bit of benching and comparison with my other cpus and gpus.
im actually feeling quite scientific.


@thebluebumblebee I'd like to see what happens to that if you added more RAM
I shall put the other spare 2gb ram in now and then try with with 2x 4gb when it arrives


With 4gb of ram installed task manager shows 2.1gb usage, that is with WCG running, task manager and HWMon.

i havent touched the pc and i dont think i overtightened it, inside is a metal threaded reciever to take the screw which in theory cant break

i had a spare which i have now installed

from 92 deg to 57 on full load phew, i,m glad the alarm sounded.
 
6 h/t cores at 3.9 ghz......not bad for a cheap chip..:clap: (and a cheap board, oh....and cheap ram) +12mb cache

Here is my 4P Machine:
IMG-20150606-WA0037.jpeg

I have been working hard to get it ready for the Challenge, I have bought this Machine working perfectly but due the noise i couldn't run it, that's why i have done some improvements, modifications and upgrades
(I will explain that later) and it tooks me more than 1 month before I have found a solution to make the Machine to run silent as a fly.

More details, info and Pics Soon.

P.s Don't ask about the Blue Fans :slap:
