This is my newest addition to the XS Crunching Family. I may have another on the way soon. I'm really starting to like 100K BOINC PPD.
Please post up the pics of your new(est) additions to the XS WCG Crunching Family!
Phew that's a beauty! :up:

New stock for the farm :D
Explains the 1.3+ mil slice of pie :clap:
stoneageman doesnt have the edge, hes got the cliff. wow just wow amazing.
Sizeable breeding operation at THAT farm
More Stoneageman Impressiveness :D
What psu SAM?

Got this a couple of years ago, for running 4x580's on GPUgrid :up:
Sam,
For the NFG to crunching, me...
Could you please list the details of the rig depicted in the above farm stock addition. (MB, RAM. PSU, CPU, HS+Fans and video cards) settings and production results would also be much appreciated. I want to built an efficient new crunching rig for myself and you certainly appear to be the person to benchmark and learn from.
Thanks,
Jean-Guy

When it comes to benchmarking, I'm not in that camp at all. I just get it to a stable & efficient clock & move on. Currently at 4Ghz but I'll tweak it up a little bit more, once it's run in :D
I originally intended for it to run with two cards, but I had a card left over as I'm waiting on another board :up:
Sam,
Thank you very much for providing the above details on your new rig. This information is of much value to me.
If it is not a trade secret, what ratio GPU/CPU are you running on that rig? How many WUs per card?
Sure wish that I could give you a formal web thank you..! (need 50+ more posts for option)

Dave needs to see this.
"Say hello to the industry?s most powerful server graphics card, the AMD FirePro? S10000. Find more details here: http://bit.ly/VY5ifc and check out this server setup with EIGHT S10000 graphics cards. That?s right, 16 GPUs! "
http://www.amd.com/us/products/works...es/S10000.aspx
fairly certain that the cards are going to melt down to a nice handy pile of plastic. really how did they manage to get that past reliability testing?but i still want to have it
too bad each of those is 3200~4000$

3.5tflops/card Single
I'm going to order a 7850 by the end of this week. My HTPC has a maximum video card length of 250mm, which is kind of a bummer. I'll have more pics then.
I think 8 7990 with watercooling would be a better investment. More shaders + cheaper.Quote:

I honestly don't care too much about GPUs and heat. The performance of GPUs scales much more quickly than that of CPUs, so to me their usable life span is much shorter compared to CPUs. I keep a CPU for several years and upgrade GPUs frequently. That's just my $0.02.
Well the lifespan of one of my MSI cards above was just three days :shakes:Quote:

At least you should get a quick replacement for it directly from the merchant you bought it from.
In my own situation, the cost/lifespan ratio is important. Killing a $400 video card due to excess heat is, to me anyway, an exorbitant cost and beyond my means at half that price. If I spend real money on hardware I need a five year lifespan MINIMUM. Failing just out of warranty will guarantee I do not buy that brand again.Quote:

In particulr I've been crunching the 295 for about 3.5 years almost non stop with no sign of degradation - heck it's working hcc right now :yepp:
(well one card died but that was my fault as I shorted the damn thing when playing with cpu fan clips while the system was running) :doh:
