aww that sucks, have you tried some memtest on it?

Guys,

Till i can figure out my boot mgr issue I am no longer crunching with the X6. It passed Prime for about 4 or 5 hours but I still don't know if something is just not stable or failing little by little. I am going to stop crunching till I can figure it out because every day it shuts down once or twice and my windows install is starting to get borked. Therefore I am not risking a new install now.

Dude, why not just switch it out for the CH4 I sold ya?

yep, passed.

I am, but I'mma use that for my project log, then when I do get it going it'll have a fresh install of windows. So that's why I have it set aside for now.

Both my Quads are down :mad:

I switched them off to change the heatsinks and now neither one will POST. Too tired to troubleshoot them now that I need to get some sleep.. looks like I'll only have the i7 for next couple of days.:shadedshu

Maybe you tightened the Heatsinks too tight? Keep us posted and good luck man.

Well its going fine so far with the startup repair done, let's hope that fixes it.

Good luck CP, that X6 looks like a beast for WCG!

Yeah bro, keep in mind it feels great in windows and I'm running default RAM timings, and NB. I can't wait to get it sorted out so I can start messing with it.

The strange thing is my i7 doesn't feel any faster than my C2D for daily usage...from what I read people thought it was much snappier than anything earlier, but that's not what I've noticed :confused:

Maybe it's the SSD in the C2D :laugh:

Did you ever try using it around windows without HTT? I think the HTT is not the greatest for normal usage. Even before the SSD my Phenom X4 felt alot snappier and quicker around windows. Guess the added threads don't help much unless you are benchmarking or doing CPU intensive stuff.

Nah, I never got around to trying it without Hyperthreading. I can try tomorrow if I have time :cool:

And I guess Firefox doesn't exactly need 8 threads :rolleyes:

Seriously I did a few times and it felt much quicker.

I'll give it a shot, that's very odd :confused:

Software is much less advanced than hardware, that's what it is. You add four more threads and nothing knows what to do with it :roll:

Does memory speed affect WCG performance much? If everything pans out well, I will be running at 900MHz 4-4-4-12 rather than 1000MHz 5-5-5-15... it feels a lot faster and snappier, but will it affect WCG performance? Aside from that, my FSB increaced to 270MHz from 250MHz, and my CPU increaced 10MHz...

HammerON · Jun 29, 2010

I don't think it does/will...

Chicken Patty · Jun 29, 2010

Naw it doesn't. WCG is just clock speed dependent.

[Ion] · Jun 29, 2010

As they've said, the impact is minimal (like 3% tops)

im down to one cruncher @ the moment till i install my gpu water block :toast:

Turns out my Asus P5Q-E has done that "Asus thing" whereby it forgot it was motherboard. Cleared CMOS, swapped battery... but it's just a lump of metal now. Not the first time this has happened with Asus P5Q series motherboards, except I'm out of warranty so no more RMA's. The other Asus P5K mobo is fine but won't have time to make operational till a week's time. So glad I switched to Gigabyte instead for the i7.

So sorry guys, that's 4-5K PPD I won't be able to push for a little while. Just gotta decide if it's worth getting a new motherboard to bring back the two Quads online or sell them off and get something better next month. :banghead:

[Ion] · Jun 30, 2010

Well, even if nothing else a pair of G31 or G41 motherboards would be cheap and allow you to get crunching again

p_o_s_pc · Jun 30, 2010

see if you can find a "Foxconn G41S-K" over there. Its a cheap G41 that should run your quads but i wouldn't count on overclock them lol but over here on the egg there $32 a pop and $3 shipping so for $35 i wouldn't consider it bad.

EDIT:wouldn't work the board is 65w cpu only :eek:

[Ion] · Jun 30, 2010

The G41M-ES2L is a nice board, I had the older one (G31M-ES2L) and it took a Q6600 to 3.2ghz and an E6550 to 3ghz
