Thanks for helping out. The more machines, the merrier. :)
Welcome to the team!
I changed some of the text in the guide so it is more like the original.
You're fine. If they're showing up as Pending Validation it just means you're returnin them faster than your wingmate. :up:Quote:

Thanks much for re-constructing this. It's pprobably one of the most important posts we have right now with all the new folks coming on board.

Yeah, got some errors too, because I've been messing around. ;) But manged to get a few point too :) It seams to take some time to update after the first attempt, but it looks to be working fine now. Please advise if something seams to be wrong. :)Quote:

After a few days, you should be averaging around 45,000 WCG points per day at your CPU speed, maybe a little more. I know because I also have an X5650.:D
i just joined the team after seeing the announcement for the big MAY 1st-8th crunching challenge,im bringing my i7-920 to the fight.
Almost forgot about WCG. Until I got a E-Mail form MM.From Yesterday on Bionic is running again on my 24/7 Homeserver. :)
Hey Sierra, congrats on the promotion!! You're all red now! :up::toast:

I know that there are problems getting BCLK above 180 and that running VTT above 1.35 is very risky. I think after it's been crunching for another month, I may play around with the BIOS settings a little more.
Yeah, I've almost the same. @3.8Ghz(173x22) 1.21v, VVT=1.32v. I've used a lot of time (and still haven't given up :eek:), to get around the locked x20 Uncore, and getting over BCLK180, but it meeds VVT=1.36v :p:, at leat .Quote:

Okay guys we need to get this video out. I just did a video on how to sign up for WCG and install and setup BOINC. Uploading it to youtube right now will post it in roughly 30 mins. Hope this makes it easier for all the new teammates :up:
Well it seems the screen capture program messed up some of the video and audio. Does anyone have suggestions for a great video capture program.
Heres a buggy version, wow my voice sounds so nasally wtf?
No, thank you for backing up the pics! :up:Quote:

In my experience with these CPUs, the 1,36 or 1,355V VTT setting (changes depending on the CPU) is definitely safe. I am using 1,375V on my X5680, that equals a measured ~1,36V real on my EX58-Extreme.
Good job. You are our the laboratory rabbit, keep us updated on how these chips react to high VVT. :) How knows, maybe they are as resilient as 45nm and can take even more.Quote:

Always use the 8x dram divider for B0 CPUs. 10x Dram at >170 BCLK would require >1,4V VTT to be stable.
Also, even mults are still worse than uneven ones. My X5680 doesn't like 26, and neither is the X5650 too fond of the 22x mult. Unfortunately, you still have to use it for decent clocks, due to the locked uncore multiplier.
My X5660's were perfect for air - 23x mult is a good one, they did 4,3 with safe voltages easily.
Yeah, I miss the x23, it would shake it up dramatically. Specially when have found the limitation with the even mults. The X5650 doesn't have a x21-option, so the first alternative is x19 and that's too low. The only option on 5650 is x22. for sure! I'm using x8 RAM too, and it pretty stable, with good performance, more than I need.
I really like this CPU, and the Core is OCing really easy. I did some testing @4.2Ghz (191x22) 1,26v VVT=1.44v :p:. It was running pretty cool and stable too, but I don't dare to use that much VVT it for 24/7 yet. Not before I've tried this chip on a double socket.
Who knows, maybe these can take more VVT than Intel's recommendation, just like 45nm. We need to exchange experiences and get to know these chips better.
Sam, You do know that I'm watching you!:p:Quote:

They will live to a ripe old age...like me!:p:
Actually, for 32nm it is 1,4V Vcore and 1,3125V VTT (980X specs).Quote:

So yeah, 1,4 and above is definitely too much VTT for 24/7.
According to Intel's data sheets, the maximum safe limit for VTT is 1.35. This is for i7-900 series CPUs. I think I read that the VTT max is much lower for LGA1156 processors, something like 1.21.
http://download.intel.com/design/pro...hts/320834.pdf
The one I've seen at the first days of 980x-release, (and I saved it on my local drive), says 1.4v for max VVT. Has Intel changed this presently?
http://img.techpowerup.org/100415/Capture032961.jpg
Weird. Check this document, page 23:
http://download.intel.com/design/pro...hts/323252.pdf
Clearly says 1,4V max Vcc - and I am 100% sure on that. 1,55 will kill most 32nm chips on standard cooling.
This also states 1,4V for max VTT...
I searched around for data sheets on Gulftown and Westmere chips but couldn't find any. Sometimes Intel releases the data sheet after it launches the product.
This is the main page on Intel's site for the X5650.
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id...ec-codes=SLBV3
On the right it says "No Datasheet Available".
That document is dated March 2010. The one I posted was from February. So maybe Intel had a change of heart and decided to increase maximum allowable VTT.Quote:

They sure seem to change numbers a lot. I distinctly remember seeing 1.3125V as max. VTT somewhere :shrug:Quote:

Lets agree, right now Intel says max VVT=1.4v for 980x.
Intel has been conservative enough to reduce to vCore to 1.4v (from 1.55v),
does this VVT-increase means Intel has improved the Uncore dramatically?
If true, Intel said max VVT=1.35v for i7 45nm, and it has proven to take even 1.5v ,easily, for 24/7 use.
It is to early too say anything for sure about 24/7 VVT, but I believe there is a good hope that these chips can take a lot of VVT-torture. On the other hand, I agree with MM that we should be careful until we get to know these chips.
I guess those constant changes are due to the different CPU steppings and the advancements made in the manufacturing process.
I killed a Q3QR A0 hexa after ~10 minutes on SS (-30C), and I was only running Cinebench at ~1,65V Vcore. So it stands to reason that the same CPU would have died running WCG @ 1,55V Vcore on water.
As I said, I would not recommend going over 1,4/1,35V Vcore/VTT for long term crunching unless you are prepared to face the consequences.
If vCore has killed your A0, does it means that VVT didn't kill it?Quote:

But nobody knows how much torture they can take yet, and it is a good idea to be careful.
Not sure what killed it, but I didn't run high VTT so I am guessing it must have been Vcore.
Don't forget the 5650's are still B0, and thus potentially more vulnerable to high voltage. If you read FUGGER's OC report on Gulftowns, he said the same things really... A0 die pretty easily, B0 are a lot tougher but still not perfect, and B1 he found "to be unkillable under controlled conditions" (-100C and colder) so that gives at least some security.
I used 1,52V vcore and 1,43V Bios VTT for short-term benching on the 5680, but I turned down the chiller beforehand so the CPU never exceeded 30 or 35C.
Plus I only ran short tests like 3DM Vantage and Cinebench, crunching is a whole other story.
I see what you mean. My X5650 is a B1 :cool:.
I will thank you all for your inputs. It has been a great help to get a better idea about these chips. :)
Sorry guys if this got OT for others, I couldn't find this X56xx-gang all together in another thread. So when i found them, couldn't resist to push (and rub) it. ;)
Well I've got this up and running and will let it contribute for the next month on my i7

Well, just finally joined (I used SATI years ago), with the laptop in my sig :D I know it's not much, have to run it at 70% or the fans are 100% all the time, and it'll take ~8 hours per task, but I'm glad to help.
I also can't assure 24h, but I'll be there for the May week, let's break some records!
I started crunching on an iBook G4 so don't feel bad. It's the thought that counts. :up:Quote:

A BSOD may damage the WU and cause it to "Compute Error" and upload for no credit. You can also get "Compute Errors" if your OC is not quite stable enough to process properly, yet not bad enough to BSOD.Quote:

From BOINC Manager ...
1. Suspend Network communication
2. Suspend BOINC
3. Turn BOINC off completely. When exiting say "Yes to unload when closing", if you do not get this question then go into Options, Advanced and recheck the exit question box.
4. Copy the BOINC data directory
5. Apply your OC
6. Open BOINC Manager and turn activity to Run Always (leave network communication off)
If you get lots of errors then you can stop BOINC completely (like in step 3) and replace the data dir with the copy you made in step 4 (make sure to create another copy).
If you are good to go (no errors) then turn Network communications back on.
Rinse and repeat for each round of testing.
The reason for this method is that you are limited by the number of WUs per core you can download in a day and if you are OC testing you can throw compute errors very quickly (even without a BSOD) and you will then be shut off until 12:00 AM UTC at which time WCG will give you another chance ... BUT ... that chance makes you earn the number of WUs it will download based on your ability to complete and upload valid WUs.
That vs. I have never had a WU error if my system can Prime Blend with custom settings that use all free RAM for 2 hours.
Your choice ... let us know how you do :up:
^^ Oops, I didn't know all this. Thx for good explanation, good to know. :)
I'm glad I asked before trying it. ;)
Hi everyone,
Add me to the list as well.
My system should add a few results as well
Core I7 at 4400 mhz :)
Inimicuss ... nice rig ... thanks for helping out :welcome:
Welcome to the team!
Is it possible to run some tasks now and let the points hit the server after 1. May? Any tips how I could accumulate points now and let them loose after 1. May?
Just joined! looking forward to the may 1 through may 8 "showdown"
I think you can build a cache and disconnect it from the net and let them run. I don't know how to do that but I'm pretty sure you can. Just make sure your WU's get turned in within their expiration date and it should be fine. Maybe some one with more intel can chime in here and tell me if I'm off my rocker :DQuote:

MM, quick question, do you think it would be better to add another over clocked 920 rig or just upgrade my current to an overclocked 980? The cost is almost the same but the power draw would be double for a second rig.
Your talking about a 1500-2000 extra pts if you pick up a 920 rig over the 980x upgrade. I would personally pick up the 980x though due to power savings and the fact you'll get more usage out of your system at a later time, also the 980x does typically yield a higher OC.
I was thinking the same thing, I could also make it my media server for all pc's and the ps3.
ps nice sig:)

BUT the elec of one machine.
Adding a 920 that generally gets 30-35K per day for the same money but that adds elec..
The elec cost is the key, then add in additional heat generated so where you live( hot or cold climate) also factors into the equation.

Hello. Joined in prep for your week in May... and will continue after that. I'm a total noob at this but wanted to help.... that said, I have 2 questions I'm wondering if someone could help me with.
Does BOINC have to start up with windows, and is it bad to close it out sometimes? (vista 64). I have a 24/7 machine I plan do dedicate to this, but would also like to use my gaming system when I'm not busy on it and startup / shutdown of BOINC is a concern.
Also, to use the 2nd computer, do I just need to download the client to that and log in? Anything else to do?
I apologize if these have been answered before. I'm new to this and didn't know where else to ask.
Thank you. :up:
Don't worry about startup/shutdown it runs in low priority so whatever application you run it will throttle BOINC back, so no point in closing it. On the install question, yes just install it and enter your login information. Don't forget to change the preferences to 100% :up:Quote:

Once you have your account created you just need to log in additional machines with that same username and password. Simple as that.
As for shutting it down, it does no harm. You can also configure the system to stop on it's own when you start up nominated applications, though you have to make manual entries to a file to do that, or with the latest BOINC clients you can set it to suspend if other CPU use goes over a certain percentage (the default is 25% I think) so generally it shouldn't interfere with your games.
The points are confusing me, when you say 50,000 movieman how is that calculated? I have 8 Phenom cores running 4 @ 3.5 and 4 @ 4.0ghz. How would this compute in points per day?
Mainly they are calculated because of what people have already gotten on those setups. What kind of phenoms are you running? Phenom l X4 or Phenom ll X4? There are also 2 different point standards. First one being WCG and seconds being BOINC.
Dave will be referring to WCG points, not BOINC points.Quote:

From there the old UD client was phased out but people still had the work credit that had been built up using that client and it's own scoring system. In order to not screw over it's volunteers (as Grid.org discovered that's a VERY BAD IDEA :mad: ) WCG decided to keep all the accrued credit and just multiply the normal BOINC numbers by 7 to give returns roughly equivalent to what people were getting on their machines with the old client. Hence WCG's internal stats are often different to those you see when you check the various BOINC stats lists.

Should be running fine by the 1st, i hope (long work days - little time to play at home). BOINC makes for a nice stress test, and it's actually useful to something !
I have a quick question: i see some units are quickly getting an "error" status (usually in the first few minutes of running), is it normal for WCG units or is that due to CPU errors (as in, not enough voltage somewhere) ? At first i thought it was the OC but i'm also getting errors on a completely stock rig (E8400 running at stock clocks).
It's not normal for them to error out at all. On your stock rig first make sure your system is clean. Virus infections can cause issues. Next run Memtest86+ (download here) and make sure your RAM isn't misbehaving. Yes it does happen even if everything else seems fine. I don't know what OS/version you're running so that's as much as I can suggest for now.
The stock rig is my computer at work, i can tell it's clean from any virus, it runs XP 32 bits. Maybe the memory is crap.. Thanks for the answer, so time for more voltages !
More voltage won't correct a memory fault. Only replacing the RAM will fix that, and if you're running Norton on that work machine you're probably pwnd. Just coz someone paid for an AV solution doesn't mean it's worth a pinch of proverbial.
As for the OC'd system, it could still be an unstable 'clock. Not every chip will clock as well as every other. Some just won't go over n no matter what voltages or dividers you mess with. For that matter it could be the motherboard that's causing it. If the VREGS (or whatever parts) aren't up to it, they're not up to it and that's all there is to it.
The guys who win overclocking competitions aren't "script kiddies" that just change settings to a formula, they're artists who know their kit inside out and go out of their way to find the right steppings of the right chips, the right boards and everything else. Even after all that, the best guys still sometimes get a chip that just won't clock like it should.
Haha no worries my main rig is totally watercooled, memory is running at stock speeds (since i run an EX 975 i just play with multis basically). So nothing is overheating - VRM's are under water too. Like i said, i'm not done yet stabilizing that OC, trying to figure out the proper minimal voltages... i could slap 1.45V core but that would produce a lot of heat and waste electricity for nothing if it can run at 1.26V.. Currently fiddling with the QPI voltages and such... Would be surprising if i couldnt run that watercooled i975 at just 4GHz ;) (especially that it's just 60C at full load...)
(edit) ha found the cause of those errors. Not hardware related (running win7 / 64bit) :)
I'm the admin of my own computer at work, so i can run pretty much all i want (that's why it's running BOINC too). Using proper anti spyware and antivirus ;) I just had one error on one unit in 4 days of continuous operation, but if you say it's hardware related it's annoying (i cannot replace the parts so easily since the computer is not mine).Quote:

Don't stress even if you get a couple of errors, sometimes you just get a dud unit. If you're getting a bunch of them, or a couple a day, look into it.
So what should I do, use CPU or GPU to fold? Which would return better results?

You can easily do both. Many do, including myself. If you have any questions about GPUGrid, be sure to ask, we're more than willing to help!
And for WCG - well, you're already here. :up:
joined a lil while ago too!
may i ask a question? how do i check my stats? kinda lost when it comes to this folding stuff
Ok, your stats are available in the My Grid pages on the WCG website ... and this is crunching, not folding. Yes there is a difference, no it's not just in the project name.
The only dumb question is.....
I am thinking of helping.. looked at the directions... got to 'BONIC' info, and you show Language Selection of 'Finnish'.. correct for you, but... I am in the US. I can join if I want, can't I? English.. I choose English... it still makes me part of the Extreem group.. because I am on your Team..

It's all in English!
This is probably the most generic question out here, but, if I wanted to get this up and running in as little time as possible, with the least non-sense, would I want Windows or Linux? I'm totally comfortable with either. I plan to slap together a build when I get home from work. It'll be:
i7, and three GTX275's
I'm trying to get in on the may event, and I have been waiting on part after part. Today should be the day though.
But yeah, trying to get this up in record time (for me) and I hope someone will know which is best. I can use GPU grid too right?

PPD should be roughly equal between Windows and Linux. Running a 64bit OS gives a ~10% boost in PPD over their 32bit counterpart though. Just go with whatever is easier for you. You cannot use those GPUs on World Community Grid, though. You should probably look into GPUgrid for that.Quote:
