Countdown to 500 threads added

**Shlomo** · 06-04-2009, 05:27 PM

Thought i'd start one of these threads to keep track of what people are adding in the name of XS. Always a lot of fun and its a real accomplishment when ya have to start a new topic cause the first one reached 0 hehe.

So i'll start.

500

+q6600
+q8200
+dual core AMD

Only my desktop at the moment.

My x3350 was having stability issues, and is also used as a media server, so i've suspended all DC on it until I have time to reformat or troubleshoot. I suspect the Ballistix has gone bad.

Others quads owned by friend have just not yet been setup, one i7 build is in the works.

So, for now...

486

You do realise this is probably going to go into the negatives fairly quickly once some of the big farm owners start posting

For me, currently 2 Q6600's.

478

Eller

**Martijn** · 06-04-2009, 10:54 PM

I guess this is 24/7 only?

That makes Sammy, my laptop and an i7 underway.

I could be wrong here but I get the feeling that the OP wanted us to list NEW threads we are adding to the cause, not existing hardware.

Seems logical to me.

^this, only post if you've just added hardware

**Sparky** · 06-05-2009, 01:45 PM

What about if I added hardware but it was also because I retired some hardware

Although I'm fairly close to breaking even, retired several single cores but have replaced with quads

Once I get the last two up and running I will have actually added to what I used to do

Well, lets say you went from a q6600 to a i7-920, i'd say just add 4. But honestly, who cares. It's mostly meant for fun haha

**Hymay** · 06-05-2009, 10:43 PM

Added a 9850 last night, stock hs, cheapie mb, so only running it at 2.8.
Wish I knew how to get a core temp in linux!

462

**jcool** · 06-06-2009, 03:00 AM

Recently added the Dual E5420, the rest I have had running for 1 months or longer

454

**INFRNL** · 06-06-2009, 07:02 AM

So If I get this correctly...I just added a Xeon W3520 to the team...totalling 28 threads for my mini farm, lol

I don't linux but does this help: http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/a...e-6-26-kernel/

I put a q6600 on yesterday....so is that -4?....442

**s0lid** · 06-06-2009, 08:01 AM

Adding X2 7750 asap, 440

**cdu cnp** · 06-06-2009, 10:00 AM

Well I added 4 more cores yesterday, total 14. Wish AMD did HT.

432

**Aerou** · 06-06-2009, 05:40 PM

Hooked a i7 920 to the grid. That counts as 8 threads? Or cores?

424

**fallwind** · 06-11-2009, 12:47 AM

Just swapped an old Q6600 @ 3.2 for a 920 at 4.2!

+4 threads

420

420 is a good number!

**SoulsCollective** · 06-11-2009, 12:52 AM

Signed up a few days ago, i7 920 added.

412

**123bob** · 06-11-2009, 12:53 AM

OK, it took me a bit to figure out what we were supposed to be doing here. So in light of that, I will ADD my existing cores to the total, and to compensate to the OP's intentions a bit.....

New Number, 476

Where the 32nm stuff? I should be able to subtract when that comes out....

Bob

DANG, too slow typing again....

**SoulsCollective** · 06-11-2009, 01:03 AM

Hang on, what? You haven't posted here before, why you be adding?

**123bob** · 06-11-2009, 02:05 AM

The Op wanted us to subtract only for new cores added.....See the first few posts following the original. I didn't get that until I read further.

Since some cores were existing and were subtracted, I kind of figure if I ADD my existing cores, it kind of brings it somewhat back into balance....Yes? This is in reference to Karl's post.

We could start over, but IDK, fuzzy math is kind of fun too....

Yeah, but...you haven't posted yet here. At all. So if you haven't changed the countdown by subtracting anything, then your existing crunchers haven't been counted at all - so there's no need to add anything to the number. If it's counting down how many new threads were added, there's no need to be adding for threads that have been active all along

**Martijn** · 06-11-2009, 02:16 AM

I think he meant only threads added from this point on. Then again, if you want to do fuzzy math, I'm not stopping you

EDIT: See above ^^
