Step it up - 1000 Thread Count Down!

Seeing as the last count down thread was finished here I though it was fitting to start a new one for all the new Christmas and new years gear, but step it up a notch! :yepp:

The last thread took 6 months to add 500 theads.

So the goal I'm setting is for 1000 threads added in 9 months. :cool:

That's a 33% boost over the current rate, but WE ARE XS! Let's pump it up and start adding the threads! :woot:

P.S. - for those of you that don't know how this goes, take the number it's at, and subtract the

threads you just added (a.k.a. Not what you're already running).

I'll start as an example:

__________________________________________________ ______

1000

-2 Atom Z520

998
__________________________________________________ ______

Who's next?!? :up:

-4 Q9550
-4 AMD 940
-4 2Ghz Sossaman

Should pick up a i7 next week.

986

And the title says cores but you say threads.

yeah Otis , change cores into 'threads'

I would also clearly state that this countsown is meant for newly added machines , not wjat you're running already.

-2 Athlon II 240

984

-4 Sig

980

2X 920's -16= 964

-2

E6600

962

-4 Phenom 2 965 @ 3.7GHz
-1 P4 3GHz @ stock

957

Yeah, you should add that in bold print Otis. Otherwise people are just gonna keep substracting what they already run :rolleyes:

I'm guessing that if you upgrade a dual to a quad, or quad to hex, etc., you can subtract the difference between old and new?

Yup

I wasn't crunching whenever the last tally was done, so I have subtracted all of my cores. Was this not correct?

I'll be adding an E6300 in a few weeks. I've not been running recently due to not having my desktop for 1st Trimester and a few OS reinstalls since the start of 2nd Trimester. I don't really want to spend $200 though on a low-end gfx card, chassis w/ psu, and new board though...

Never reported what I crunch with, currently have my i7 860 @ 4jiggahurts. Used to have the TWKR crunching, loaned it out though :shrug:

Aww are you pregnant? :D

Thanks for the feedback guys! All the changes should be made.

And great job - already got almost 50 down!

11-17

-7?!

I remember in the last tally, it ends up in NEGATIVE 7

So here I am, subtracting the 7 :D

950

I'll try to add a E6420 asap, my lan Shuttles Psu is currenly busted, need to send it over to my friend unless i can fix it. Also plannin to upgrade that shuttle to Quad as soon i find one (only support for 65nm kents) :)

Just new additions to the existing farms I think...

Fold5 (hosting my 9600GSO for F@H) is just CPU idle. Well, it is only an old s939 A64 3700+ 2.2GHz so not worth much. But then, it struck me that hey, the CPU is running anyway to keep the 9600GSO going... so heck, I just got WCG running on it!

Have you tried OCing it?:hrhr:

Yeah, my 3700+s all do 3GHz on air :D

My old 3700+ did 2.86GHz on stock volts. This one would barely hit 2.5 with a bump, but that was also on the old A8N-E board that seemed to have a wall at around 230MHz HTT regardless of CPU. It is in a DFI board now, maybe it'll do better. Doesn't have a great heatsink though, so we'll see.

I need to OC the Q6600 in fold4 first. It is still....stock :sofa:

Q6600 B3 or G0?

It is a G0. But the VID is 1.35 so I'm not expecting too much out of it.
