What all-core clocks are you seeing while fully loaded with boinc?

4,050-4,075

As I understand it, it doesn't matter what kind of cooling you run, ryzen 3000 will clock upto the limit and always run warm. I recently Googled for any watercooled 3900x/3950x systems and they all run hot regardless of how much cooling is provided.

If I manage to get mine under water I'll report my findings

Same goes for the swap to the 3950X CPU as well.. I hope to do that at some point... Maybe... lol

I run 23xWCG plus one Thread for folding. I run between 66 and 70 C on my 3900X, 480 mm rad, so there are at least one example

I don't leave a thread for F@H and have similar temps and speeds. I can get over 4.1 if I get the temps down below 65C.

What waterblock and TIM do you use?

...and whatever is handy. I have 3 different brands sitting on my desk now and could not for the life of me tell you which was used for the current application.

EK-Velocity, Arctic MX-4

Got all of the stuff I ordered. Time to tear down the Xeon cruncher for a cleaning and to build both

jlewis02 · Apr 10, 2020

I think I got it setup correctly. I guess we will find out when I get something done.

Any questions etc. post them here and I'm sure one of our amazing team members will happily and helpfully provide whatever you need

To get running, all I need is a GPU, coming in a few weeks. But here are the parts and the case. I might assemble it later today, if there is time.

BTW, 2700 non x

This is just a Mock Up. Need a fan split-er, another fan for top mount, GPU, white SATA cables and maybe a 1TB SSD or a 2TB HDD. Undecided, maybe both, eventually.

phill · Apr 12, 2020

Great work @Arjai !!

Can't wait to see it up and running

HammerON · Apr 13, 2020

Got her up and running. Spent the day learning how to overclock Ryzen. Not sure really still what I am doing yet - still have a lot to learn. Any advice, I will gladly take it. This is my first AMD system since my Athlon 64 CPUs.

I only played with OC a short time and it seems like you worked some magic - 98 W, mine was 156 W @ 4.3 MHz. How high does your VRM temperature go with the radiator blocking for the air flow?

HammerON · Apr 13, 2020

According to AIDA64 and AI Suite, around 27 degrees. Using a monoblock really helps.

I also used EK's TIM this time.

Nordic · Apr 13, 2020

I seem to have better results letting the chip overclock itself. I think I kinda have a bad chip.

ChristTheGreat · Apr 13, 2020

Wow, just found out that keeping performance enhancer to AUTO, gives me high voltage and BOINC running 4.1ghz at 100% (voltage between 1.35 and 1.39v, which I think is a bit high), prime running 4ghz at 1.31v.

Setting to level 2, drop the speed to around 4ghz, but voltage also decrease to around 1.28v, 1.3v... and prime 95 to 3.96ghz, 1.27v (which drop the temperature of 10C while prime95...)

I really need to work on my settings on this Strix x470-F. I still don't understand well AMD PBO xD

Awesome results there @HammerON

By your results, I badly need a CPU block and water for mine... Air even at 3150Mhz @ 0.875vcore it hitting on a warm day about 85C ish... Not comfortable with that temp at all but it's all I have currently... time to do some more on call to pay for a water block!!

Great results there!!

I wonder... is there any interest in running Rosetta@Home? How would we split resources between it and WCG?

phill · Apr 15, 2020

We could do a separate thread and see if anyone fancies to start on up??

ChristTheGreat · Apr 15, 2020

Removed boinc from my home server (1700). Just had a crash 2 time in a row. Not sure if related, but I have 9 vm running.

Might install boinc in a vm instead haha

We once had an unofficial TPU team on there, started by me (others had started similarly on other projects). Now it is a locked "team" with only me left in there. I have been looking into getting back into crunching. So I am kind of torn right now between on one hand opening up the team again for others (changing its name to reference TPU again and being at least its admin even when not crunching very actively due to reasons I will not get into now), and on the other just staying out of it while someone else forms the team and I might join in later.
I could also try to see whether I can make other accounts admin of my "team" if you wish to form it (back) into a TPU team.

I will make a thread.

WCG will be running DB maintenance on this wednesday

Planned Maintenance on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 (Completed)

We are performing database maintenance on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 starting at 13:00 UTC.

www.worldcommunitygrid.org

We are performing maintenance on the BOINC database in order to improve performance and capacity. This work will start on Wednesday, April 22, 2020 at 13:00 UTC, and will take about five hours.
During the entire time of the maintenance, volunteers will not be able to obtain new work or report completed work. Volunteers will not be able check on the status of their results, but the rest of the website will remain available.
Volunteers will not need to take any particular action, as your devices will automatically retry their connections after the maintenance work is completed.

Arjai · Apr 22, 2020

woke up and saw this...

I figure it will be the third Sunday in May, before I grab another spot...

Arjai · Apr 27, 2020

Well, I just lost my job. 9 years and some flunky in corporate fires me. I did an oil change for a former employee, he was out of work, he brought his own oil and oil filter. I had my lower bay spend 5 minutes draining and exchanging the oil and filter. HR sees it as theft.

So, I have turned off my farm, still have my daily, the i7 3770, and my gamer, Ryzen 2700, crunching but, no more folding, until I find work.

I will make it through this, but it is disappointing.

You need to get that story on the news. In this time of Covid-19, that company may find their feet on fire.
