Anyone have BullDozer *Distributed Computing* benchmarks?

Searching around, there is the chance that your WU could be a bad egg and may need to be manually removed, so you can grab a new WU.

Otherwise your system may not be stable (or there's an issue with the RAM).

Did it several times. Ram is working fine. Signs point to motherboard or CPU. Going to see if I can get another cheap new board and maybe a 4100 to do more testing.

Look in the comments - the very first one.



In other words...it kind of sucks.

How do these numbers compare to an x6? I have an x6 1055t, but I might upgrade if BD is faster. I run SETI, but I assume that the 2 DC programs put comparable stress on cpus.

With such a high tdp, you also might want to reseat your hsf.

He has [thread=2199732]a thread in CPUs & Overclocking[/thread] about this too.

temps are within spec

 

[somethingsketchy]

Man those temps are brutal. I wonder if there are any charts that include custom WC loops. Or even phase change.

I'm surprised that the A70 outperforms the H100 in that chart.
