My crunching upgrades

[Rudy Toody]

HI--

I am replacing my AMD Phenom 9850BEs with AMD Phenom II 940BEs.

I get a 20% production increase on each box. 2.5GHz to 3.0GHz stock!

My boinc benchmarks went from 2200 & 7100 to 2900 & 9000. NIce!

So, watch your backs, everyone!

:shocked::shocked:

A little faster than me now!

Very nice.

 

[PCTC2]

Very nice. I wish I had more money...(don't we all?). I'd spend it all on electricity and computers. Like a nice CUDA cluster. :laugh:

Congrats and well done, Fred! :sun:

I'll soon be upgrading some dual core comps to quad cores - and buy my firts i7-comp. That will be fun!

BTW and somewhat OT: how is the proof of the conjecture doing?

The conjecture is kaput! See my thread on the Highly Technical forum. You can't miss it-- it has the most views.

I tried reading that thread, which resulted in me getting scared, running away and glaring at my Discrete II homework.

Thanks, I enjoyed reading it. Those are really nice guys!

Ok, sorry for the lack of clearness: I do not mean that I enjoyed that your conjecture is "kaputt" - I meant reading the thread ...

Sweet rig upgrades

Gonna try overclocking them?

 

[petrusbroder]

Well yes, My are BE - with unlocked multipliers ...

 

[Rudy Toody]

I will OC one or two come this winter. I have real difficulty keeping my apartment cool. I cannot have a window air conditioner because I live in a bulding that is on the Historical Registry. I don't have the room for an inside-the-apartment air conditioner.

I am negotiating with building management to see if I can rent a small space in the basement that I can cool. If it is in the right spot, I can use wifi to control the computers.

 

[waffleironhead]

since we are sharing, I'm retiring my p4 prescott... Just ordered a athlon 2 x4 620 to replace it.

I've got a D0 on the way.

 

[Assimilator1]

D0?

Btw I'm finally overclocking my E5200 , so far it's upto 3.3 GHz @ 1.2125 vcore setting.
I've found it doesn't like running over 350 MHz FSB , I've had to up the multiplier from the x8 I had chose.
Did you find that?

Rudy
That's a buggar, good luck on the basement!
What summer temps do you get?

I run Linux and find that the temp sensors don't seem to be calibrated correctly for the Phenoms. One 9850 was getting 66C full load. The 940 in the same box is getting 39C full load. So, until I figure out how to adjust the readouts, I'm guessing that the true temps are somewhere in between.

I do know that with the AMDs, the sensor software must be adjusted down about 10C for the K8 cpus. I don't know about the K10 cpus yet.

The temps in my apartment are generally around 28C in the summer.

@assimilator1
D0 is the better stepping for 1366 i7's. Good ones can go past 4 GHz on air with ease. I got one of the not so good ones, and still got to 4.2 GHz on air.

Also, nice work with the E5200. Lucky you, my buddy's E5200, one of the earlier ones, has cant do 3.3 with less than 1.4 V. However, I would not worry about FSB so much, don't they have like a 10.5 multi? Just use that and go as high as you can. Also, whats your board that you are using with the E5200?

 

[Assimilator1]

I lowered the multi from the std x12.5 for improved performance , I haven't yet experimented with altering FSB Term voltages to see if it will run on higher FSBs, currently finding it's near best clock speed.
It's now at 3.4 GHz (10x340),& I've had to increase vcore to 1.2375v setting so far.
Mbrd is an Asus P5QL Pro.

Nice i7 speed btw , I'd love to have one of them, they are ballisticley fast in DPAD!

Rudy
Yea your room is pretty toasty , when mine get's that hot I don't like to run more than 1 PC & I kill the GPU client too.
What temp monitoring progs do you use?
