Have you got pie today?

Arjai · Dec 19, 2019

Well, my 2700 is working well! Despite being down one Xeon 6/12 core, that I gave to a friend.
I got 8th place yesterday, my Birth Day, and I am looking to get to 41st position, on the Team stats, for Christmas!

Looks like Next month I will start buying parts, for another 2700 crunch box! The 2700, non x, stock, is doing 2000 to 4000 more points per day! The Dell work stations have Xeon 5670's in them and are running on Kubuntu, best points I have been getting on a easy Linux Distro, and they have been work horses churning 24/7 for almost 2 years (turned them off this past summer. They make my apartment into a sauna in July and August!).

So, I will be selling, or gifting, another T3500 rig sometime in Jan-Feb (maybe March?). Depends on my Bonus money, from work. If we can keep the ball rolling, It should go quicker.
:lovetpu:

P.S. the 2700 doubles as my Gaming Box so, on WIN10. The new boxes will probably go with a Linux Distro, as full time crunchers.

Sure, I soo agree with this. However You look at it Ryzen is so much more efficient.
Still 1700 is the most cost efficient cruncher to date imo

2700 runs @ 65W TDP 8 cores/ 16 threads. Task Manager reads 3.2, 3.3 GHz at 100%, or rather 98%. Not sure where that 2% is...? Anyway, I got a bundle deal at Micro Center, $194 for a GigaByte b450 AORUS M and the 2700. To me, it has been the best $194 bucks I have spent for a Cruncher. The T-3500's are pretty good all-in-one bang for buck, bought cheap GPU's for display and 3 4GB DDR3 sticks, under $200. For a xeon5670 6/12 core. They're big, full size boxes and the chew up 225W running full blast. I have not hooked the Kill-A-Watt to the new 2700 box but, I am sure it beats that, with the GPU idle. The RX580 on full tilt, changes that number!!

I can only assume that because of the lower voltages it actually helps a lot with temperatures and such? Did you have a cherry picked CPU or was it just one off of the shelf? It's unreal how brilliantly AMD have done with putting so many cores and threads in such a small package

For an all core 24/7 crunching overclock... PBO off and then finding a suitable lower (under) volted setting seems to work best for me. I really like the per CCX feature but it is currently BIOS only on my ASUS CH8. My ASUS CH7 and CH6 don't feature it yet in BIOS.

Maybe it will come along for those boards with a future BIOS update? I think per CCX works especially well with the multi chiplet parts: 3900X/3950X and I would assume also for the newly released TR 3960X and TR 3970X.

My sample came off the shelf from Micro Center. They had a few available here (in Atlanta) on "release day" but they went out of stock. Earlier this week... 7 units came into stock between two stores: ATL N. West (Marietta) and ATL N. East (Duluth). I quickly went over in the morning to the Marietta store and got one. It didn't take long for them to sell out and both stores are now out-of-stock.

phill · Dec 20, 2019

I am wondering myself if a 3950X would be a good bet, or if the 3960X or 3970X would be a better move.. Reason for it is that the CPU in comparison is twice the size physically so heat displacement should be so much easier and more efficient, I'd really hope that it would definitely be the nicer option for the cooling... But that said it's a load more money.........

phill · Dec 20, 2019

Here's some WCG Pie stats for the 19th December 2019....

Another really good day for team TPU

We really do have some amazing people on this team with the amount that they support it and contribute... Can't thank you all enough!! :respect:

I've had my 1700X running for a about a day so far now @Arjai and that was hitting just 140w from the wall for the whole system.. 1700X, Crosshair Hero 6. 16Gb ram, RX480 and so on.. It's currently sat at 128w

It runs Linux Mint 19.3 as an OS and uses a 500Gb HD drive.. As it's definitely not setup at all for performance, everything is completely stock settings, I think it's doing very well indeed

I've been trying to find a pair of 2700/X's and a pair of Crosshair 7's but so far no luck

My local store was meant to have a few CPUs in stock but nothing and they where on offer as well

Trying to get hold of some now it going to be a nightmare I'm sure of it....

phill · Dec 21, 2019

Here's some fresh WCG Pie for the 20th December 2019...

Brilliant work everyone as always!!

That top 20 seems to be rather difficult to get in of late but I see @PolRoger is flying along with that 3950X armed and pounding through the points!!

Brilliant!! @Arjai your putting in some great numbers now everything is back up and running

Be awhile until you see me in your rear view mirror!! :laugh:

If I had plenty of discretionary cash available... I'd love to run a 3960X/3970X but HEDT= $$$$.
I just look and wonder "what if" when they occasionally come into stock at Micro Center. My wife wouldn't be too thrilled if she saw a new ~ $2000/$3000 expenditure... (CPU/motherboard/waterblock/PSU).

My 1700x got bumped off a running motherboard by my recent Ryzen 3000 series purchase. Micro Center offers a combo discount on a new motherboard when purchasing a new CPU so I thought I'd try out a lower cost B450 chipset motherboard (Gigabyte B450 Aorus M) to run with the old Ryzen. I tested the mATX briefly but I didn't really care for it. BIOS overclocking features are kind of skimpy and the VRM section temps under continuous overclocked load (8C/16T) were higher then I cared for. I installed a fan over by the VRM heat sink but It didn't seem to help that much. Turning SMT off (8C/8T) helped but in the end I decided to exchange it and upgrade to an ASUS Prime X470-Pro. Running at 3.775GHz 3333C16 with 1.275v BIOS. The whole setup is showing pulling ~173/174 watts from the wall under load with my Kill-A-Watt.

And here's for the update for the WCG Pie for the 21st December 2019....

Another great day everyone

Our top 10 is getting warmer than ever and it seems we are really doing well with what we contribute everyday.. What a team TPU has here

Respect to everyone who helps towards this team...!!

phill · Dec 24, 2019

And here's the last two updates before bed time and Santa arrives

So I'd best be quick.....

WCG Pie for the 22nd December 2019....

Another stonkingly good day for TPU and members!!

No less than 48 hitting over that 4000+ points margin and if I'm honest, nearly 49.... That top 10 looking massively hard to get into at the moment with at least 36,000 points needed to creep in there.... Wow!!

Blooming brilliant everyone, amazing work!!

phill · Dec 24, 2019

And last but certainly not least... Here's the WCG Pie for the 23rd December 2019....

Well that's even more impressive today

49 members hitting over 4000+ points and another member joining in today as well

Brilliant stuff everyone!!

What's also rather damn amazing is that @PolRoger managed to take 1st place today

Well I'm guessing it's that 3950X getting to work it's magic if I'm honest so hats off to you sir!!

As it's very nearly Christmas Day here in the UK, I'm going to sign off for a bit now and just say, Merry Christmas everyone and I hope you all get amazing gifts

See you a little later on!!

thebluebumblebee · Dec 24, 2019

I'm probably going to take my older X79/Ivy Bridge-E/Xeon E5 1680 v2 combo offline and just crunch WCG with my Ryzen setups.

How many crunching systems do you have mate?

Do they just crunch or do you do other things with them as well?

phill said:

I usually run two or maybe three systems for crunching... Sometimes I'll run more setups for something like a competition. My wife's daily setup will also crunch when not under heavy use. I'll do other stuff on them. I don't really game much... But I do like overclocking and seem to look at current computer hardware along with older generation parts as more like a hobby.

phill · Dec 31, 2019

Well here's my last update for 2019.... 30th December 2019 stats for WCG Pie....

Fantastic work everyone

TPU has been a busy team over 2019, we've had a good number of regular members contributing their hearts out and I can't thank everyone enough for contributing, even if it's one unit for the year... Everything is a step in the right direction..

Hats off to everyone at TPU, from myself

I hope you have had a good 2019, I really hope that 2020 is even better

phill · Jan 1, 2020
