Particle, when you ran WCG, any indications on how many points per day (or hour) you were averaging?

If there was a Phenom II x4 2.2GHz at market, Particels Istanbuls would be 50% more efficient at folding than those ;) Folding doesn't require a bunch of cache so the fact that they are sharing L3 doesn't matterQuote:

Hopefully Particle can retest.

No idea. I've never found PPD numbers that jive with anyone else's. At 3.5GHz on my PII X4 940 I showed like 5k/day when going 24/7.
so if the l3 is 6mb and there's 6 cores.... u guys think l3 size will go up in these chips in the future? or is that backwards? they're making 1mb l2's again right?
I need some help on raising vCore. Coincidentally, at the stock VID of 1.225V the maximum I can achieve is a little over 2.5GHz. That's actually pretty promising since the desktop chips default to like 1.300, 1.325, and 1.350. I'd like to try my luck at 1.3V and I'm guessing it would get me to 2.8-3.0 without too much trouble.
K10Stat does work, but its modifications are instantly overwritten if they exceed the maximum allowed VID of 1.225V. I can set it lower than that and it sticks/applies. There are no voltage options in the BIOS. nTune can't control it. I just need a way to force this thing to ignore the max VID or overwrite (increase) what that max VID is or something. (Side note: After installing nTune, I have to reinstall Windows if I want the ability to login as new user accounts that don't have profiles yet or it'll lock up at "Preparing Desktop".)
How does PhenomMsrTweaker work for you?
The program crashes instantly on startup.
you have the latest .net frame work? ( 3.5? )
Yes, I do.
I took a look and it appears I have ISL 6323 voltage controllers. Haven't found much on them yet other than the spec sheet/pin diagram.

Any of you know how to make this thing do what I want (or know anyone who you can drag into this)?
As far as Vcore goes the only thing I can think of is performing a pin mod/hard mod on the chips to raise the Vcore.....
However this is risky and also unknown waters to pin mod these chips.
Not sure if this will be of any use to you man, but in the early days of Phenoms some of the Gurus used "Crystal CPUID" to manually set registers on the K10 chips. I just thought I would mention it in case the registers also control the voltage chip.Quote:

sam2008 and justapost both dug pretty deep into those settings.
You might want to shoot them a PM if you think they might be able to help and if they re still around.
I find that hard to believe:Quote:

Although WCG and F@H are different, shouldn't you be doing at least 40k PPD at 2.5Ghz?
You can ask MM for WCG tweaks any time, you know that :up:

probably on 32nm but die size for istanbul is 346 mm^2. its smarter to pack on cores these days instead of oversized cachesQuote:

Brief System Overview

lol ur specific-ness makes me lol.
btw cable management much? :p i'm j/p. what thickness is that metal on ur case?
1" 6061 T52 aluminum channel with 1/8" thick walls. All welded. It's pretty industrial. I think the frame ended up weighing like 12 pounds or something stupid light like that. With everything loaded the computer weighs like 60 I think. I was specific so as to answer the questions I figured people might wonder like "What is that?" A single viewer might only wonder about one item, but I figured it'd be kinda neat.
Don't say you're joking m8. You're right.Quote:

12lbs is lightQuote:

Net Weight / Gross Weight: 18.0 kg ; 39.6 lb / 20.8 kg ; 45.8 lb
I mod my machines much more often than practicality allows for cable management. I know where all the cables go and I don't have airflow problems, so I just don't worry about it. I'm kind of an "industrial" art kind of guy, as you can probably tell from the case itself. I find an artsy value in a system like that. :) Well, mine anyway. If I didn't know what's in it I probably wouldn't find it interesting.
Cinebench R10
Some of you had requested I run Cinebench, so I thought I'd do a video run demonstrating the dual 2427s.

And here I thaught it was cool when I started Cinebench with a Quadcore... Nice job man!Quote:
