How many core are you currently running?
Printable View
i7-860, i3-530, 754, p8200 lappy (part-time, part-throttle on the lappy)
So, 15 if you count HT and the lappy.
Got another i3-530 and a Giga H55-ud2 in the cupboard but no ps or case for it atm.
RMA Mushkin should be back Tuesday.
That would give me 4 more.
Hmmm.
I noticed I finally reached top 100 in RAC yesterday. :bounces:
It's like trying to race with too many karts on the track right now... bumpin and rubbin... :fight:
RAC over 2500 would have got you to your goal two weeks ago. I bet you'll need well over 4000 by the end of the week to make top 100. :D
Im running:
920 O/C to 3.6 8cores
QX9650 O/C to 3.6 4cores
Q6600 2.4 4cores
E8400 3.0 2cores
E7400 2.66 2cores
E6400 2.1? 2cores
P4 2.4 1core
That's 23 cores, hopefully that will get me to the top 100 someday.
Was running a dual core imac but had over heating issues.
I have two laptops but I'm afraid to run those balls out, to much of my business is on those, cant afford to melt them.
Holy crap Weevil, are those all running at your house? No wonder why we are fighting back and forth, I am running:
i7 920 @4.5
i7 920 @4.2
Q9550 @4.0
And my bonus room is like a sauna even with a dedicated ac unit :(
Here's the work log for the i3, MM.
Note that I didn't have it cranked until Sierra dropped the flag the other day.
Looks like it may be good for 12K or so.
Have a better idea after it runs flat out for the week. :shrug:
It's 2 notches undervolted @ 167 bclck so 3.5ish. Stock cooler in an htpc case.
Those were my initial settings (random guess on my part) and they worked right out of the box so I left it.
Haven't fiddled with it at all to see how much more gas it may have in the tank.
The 920's really crank out the work units, wish I had a couple more of those. The office does get hot if i don't leave the air on.
You're doing great for 3 rigs.
Good one, xeno. :up:
I suspect you are right about the 4K+.
Lot's of dormant hardware coming on line.
I'll be going backwards soon if I don't pick up the pace. :rofl:
Yowza!
Same situation for me on the lappys-can't burn those down.
My issue going forward will be power costs.
The Bay Area has the most ridiculous electrical rates I've ever seen.
Our PP&L bill is already routinely over $300/month.
This is over double what we were paying when we lived in Alaska. :shocked:
I'd be interested in a discussion with you on that one of these days, Weevil if you're amenable.
Perhaps I'll start another thread or pm you when I have some more free time.
I would very much like to see a thread on solar panels, I think the WCG area is a perfect place as we are already trying to save the world :)
If power wasn't a concern I could get another stand alone ac unit and a few more 920's :up:
Me too, priced out solar in 2007-2008 to generate 3000KW/H/Month and say $80,000.00 in parts alone with a 26 year payback and cringed.
I just check the ROI on Solar using this and the "break even" point was in 22 years. It seems stupid until the panels come down in price.
Will do. Thanks, Weevil. :up:
Well, theoretically, one would reasonably expect to reap a monthly benefit now and then recover some of the initial investment upon sale of the residence.
Unfortunately, acting on this assumption in today's world, and particularly with regard to Bay Area real estate, is quite likely to result in getting ones :banana::banana::banana: bored out to the approximate circumference of a refrigerator.
Still worth looking into though. :p:
So it looks like I'm solidly in at #63 for RAC points. :)
Here's what I got running
Desktop:
i7 920 @ 4.2Ghz (Main water cooled rig)
PDC E2200 @ 2.93Ghz (WHS)
Laptops:
C2D P8600 @ 2.4Ghz (Main work lappy)
C2D T7500 @ 2.2Ghz (spare laptop)
C2D T7200 @ 2Ghz (spare laptop)
C2D T7100 @ 1.8Ghz (spare laptop)
C2D T7100 @ 1.8Ghz (spare laptop)
PDC e???? @ 1.??Ghz (Friends laptop that doesn't run much)
Looks like most of my power comes from laptops. :)
*edit* anyone know how to fix my sig? No stats show up anymore...
Wooo top 100. #80 now and counting (that RAC is getting higher everyday). Feels warm and fuzzy. Oh warm may be because of that beast crunching 24/24..
2 dual xeons E5520 16 threads ON
Q9550 4 threads ON
Q6600 4 threads ON
Laptop dual core 2 threads ON
Intel P4 3,73GHz EE HT 2 threads pending (windows installation to be ON)
total 26 threads fro Griding :)
Got the wife an ipad today so she will leave her main rig alone to crunch:)
Now I need to find a WCG app for it :lol:
Oh it's on, it's so on. Now I'm gonna have to talk my brother into getting his 4 rigs into my grid.
