Is that a kink on the bottom tube coming off the rad?

Yes it is.. I've re-run that tube and put a compression fitting on it.. but alas the kink is still there. Ultimately, I need a, or a pair, of rotary 90's to get it out.. I can't shorten or lengthen the tube much more than it is without doing a whole different configuration.. I wanted the radiator to outlet on the bottom for maintenance purposes, because as it is it's pretty easy to drain the res and undo the fittings there and drain it out.

Currently working on an install USB to get the OS I want on it. Should have it running by Sunday if my weekend goes according to plan.

OK, so, I have noticed that OET is taking OVER 24 hours to run on my laptop. That has caused my average to drop dramatically. It runs on my i3's in about 12-13 hours. So, I did some Device Profile editing. I switched the i3's to all projects, Maximum output. My laptop, has a custom profile, (I adjusted writes to disk, SSD) and removed OET. I am going to monitor my laptop's progress, closely, over the next week or so. I know I need to get inside and clean her up. The max GHz has dropped below 2 GHz, lately. But I want to see what is running best, now, so when I do blow her out, She has the best performers already going.

The i3's, well, I am thoroughly impressed.

OK, so that is what I am doing. Later, after I eat and get some coffee in me, I may go out and do some work on the Motorcycles. Remove the windscreens, some other parts that are trashed, take an inventory of what I need to get done to make one ride-able and pray that at some point in the near future my lawyer get's me a sack of money to, actually, fix them. Or, possibly, replace them with something better!

We'll see how that works out...

I'm getting MASSIVE PPD from OET on Linux on my 2600K's. My OC'd 4.4 GHz 2600K did 16,848 points yesterday with the stock 2600K got 13,545!

 

[Arjai]

I am leaving the i3's, on latest Mint, as all projects, Max output.

My laptop i5 low power 1.7GHz, is not turbo-ing like it should. Plus, the OET's have become unbearable! I get crazy when I wake up and see the same damn job running, from yesterdays wake up!!

So, OET is out on the laptop (win8.1).

A little update on my 2700x set up. I'm using a Corsair H100 for cooling and a kill a watt to check power usage.

Stock settings running WCG it boosts to 3975, about 1.325v, pulls 175-180 watts. Just bumping the ram to 3200 kicks power usage up to 200 watts. 4.2ghz at 1.385v, ram at 3200 increases power usage to 235-240 watts. Ran WCG for about a half hour at 4.25ghz , 1.435v but power usage was over 250 watts and temps were high 70's.

So for now I'm going to settle for 4.025ghz, 1.25v, ram at 3200, pulling 180-185 watts. Temps are 58-62 and I can run my fans on H100 at 1400rpm keeping things pretty quiet. I haven't run a full day yet on WCG but it looks like I should get 13-14k when I do. For comparison my 5930k was getting around 10k, running at 4.5ghz and using 225-230 watts. This is all with windows 10, running all projects.

Really like using the ryzen master software, works great and is so much easier than always rebooting to bios. Also, I've had no problem at all with anything. Seems AMD got things right with this update.

Sorry for the double post but I don't see an edit button. Must be a time limit.

Anyway, WTF!! I have 10 pages of pending validation wu's on my new Ryzen rig. Mostly MCM, anyone else seeing this?

Your post is on the following day so your good, auto merging of posts is done for up to 18 hrs iirc

You may want to setup a special profile at WCG for Ryzen. Mine run best with OET, OZ, and SCC

 

[4x4n]

Is that just on Linux? Those projects run much faster on Linux than windows with my Xeon and the 5930k. I have lots of wu's from MCM that are validated, but I guess it just takes a while. Looking at the points awarded it seems that the MCM units are actually scoring slightly higher than the rest.

I use it for Win10 and Linux on my Ryzen setups- though I only get around 12-14k ppd with the 1700X on Win10 so it may be time to reconsider what projects that one runs.

 

[4x4n]

That looks to be about the same ppd I'm looking at. I would have thought it would be a little more than the 1700x, especially since I'm running at 4ghz. I don't really pay that much attention to the points and usually just run all the projects. Although on Linux I don't run MIP because it seems to take twice as long as it does on windows.

I thought it worked pretty well too, though my usage was limited. I used the software to mess with my memory frequency and timings and testing it out before manually inputting then in the bios for good. Will probably be using it soon to try to get a mild overclock on the CPU

If you find a combination that has a higher PPD, with Ryzen in Win10, please let us know.

 

[phill]

I believe Linux with a Ryzen and some different projects, can score double of that from Windows 10

 

[thebluebumblebee]

The Ryzen 7 2700 is the cheaper, sub-$300 sibling of the flagship 2700X, and has nothing disabled on-die. It even comes with an unlocked multiplier, and nearly half the TDP rating, which makes it the most energy-efficient processor we ever tested in multi-threaded workloads.

One area where the Ryzen 7 2700 managed to surprise us is energy efficiency. Its multi-threaded power-draw is over 50 W lower than that of the 2700X (141 W vs 199 W), while offering not that much lower performance.

BTW, #2 on the list is the 1700.

I'm just going to let that talk for its self, although, I agree with w1zzard that the price should drop $20.

 

[phill]

If it drops by $20/£20 then it would be an amazing cruncher I always believe that slow and steady wins the race (Not that it's a race but you know what I mean )

 

[Arjai]

Is it just me, or did something change in mid-April?

 

[thebluebumblebee]

It's you.

Edit: There have been HSTB WU's available, and that has hurt my daily output.

 

[Arjai]

I am thinking it mayhave to do with the ambient temperature in my apartment. It has become a bit sweaty in her, as my HVAC is not working. Repairs are scheduled in 4 days. Let's hope that is it.

 

[4x4n]

Got my loop going today so I tried to play around with the overclock on this 2700X. Been at 4.025ghz @ 1.25v all week crunching away without issue. Seems to really be the sweet spot with this chip. Can do 4.2ghz but needs 1.425v and gets hotter than I'd like even with my loop. The H100 I was running before only ran a couple degrees above what I get with the custom loop. I have an EK Supremacy EVO, Alphacool XT45 rad, DDC pump with Bitspower pump top/cooler/res. (Thanks Volkswagon)

Here she is up and running. Don't know why the reservoir looks that way in the pic, there are only just some tiny micro bubbles on the side of it. Also, never really been a fan of led's, but they are starting to grow on me.

Still need to tidy up some of my cables and I'll eventually go to some compression fittings but I've spent enough on this for now.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Emerald coolant. Nice.

 

[4x4n]

It's the Swiftech HydrX. When I first got a H240X I had to send it in for rma and they sent me back two bottles of it, plus the unit was full. Never had any more problems with it and worked great for 2 years. Even expanded it and added another rad, but I wanted to start over and go with a conventional loop for this build.

Gotta say these chips run pretty hot. Ambient temp is 23-24C and my water temp is staying 31-32c so I'm getting good dissipation, but my temps are still higher than my 5390k. Maybe it's just 8 cores vs 6 cores, but if I go above 4.1ghz this will get well into the 70's.

The 2700X may have the same temp offset that the 1700X does (20C). Did you check temps with Ryzen Master or some other utility?

Ryzen Master doesn't apply the offset and should show actual temp afaik

 

[phill]

Have you tried it at stock settings @4x4n ?

Those are actual temps. Seems WCG puts a bigger load on it than even Prime 95. Power usage and temps are highest while crunching.

Have you tried it at stock settings @4x4n ?

Yes, stock settings applies too much voltage and temps aren't that much lower. It will boost to 3975 and kicks voltage up over 1.3v. Been running it today at 4150 and temps are staying right around 70. Once we get into summer I'll run it slower, but still kind of messing around with it.

 

[phill]

Have you been playing about with undervolting or anything yet @4x4n ? I'm wondering how much better these newer versions of Ryzen are compared to the first gen..
