New Multi-Threaded Pi Program - Faster than SuperPi and PiFast

[poke349]

hey poke, looks like your package is scheduladed to be there on wed. hope you enjoy it...

you will see when you get it that the power demands are a bit big. you need 5 power connectors for it to run. you need 1 24pin atx, 1 4pin molex, 2-8pin power, and 1-4pin power as well. the easiest way i found to hook it up was for one of the 8 pin, to use a 4 to 8 pin adapter, ive sent one with it. its been running at 100% load for the last 14 months like that with no problems now for the last 4 pin, use a pic-e and hook it up backwards. if you need a better explination, call me and ill talk you through it. but what you do is take the pci-e and go to hook it up normaly where the latch on it hooks on the board, flip it around so the latch is on the other side 180 degrees, and let the first pair of connectors hang over the side of the mobo, and give it a little pressure it will fit in nicely. to make sure its right, look at the 2 8pins and where the yellow pos12v is the pcie should have its 12pos on the same side .

Thanks! It's gonna be a very valuable development rig since it'll be the first NUMA machine I ever get. It'll definitely be put to good use.


Woah... that's a big PSU requirement.

I just took a closer look at my 1000W Corsair. It has:

• 1 x 8-pin connector - which can split into 2 x 4-pins
• 1 x modular 8-pin connector - which can also split into 2 x 4-pins
• 2 x 3/4-pin PCIe
• enough modular PCIes to run 4-way SLI...

So I think it should work without using a PCIe. I can split one of the 8-pin connectors. Run one into the 4-pin on the board and hook up the 4 to 8-pin adapter to the other...

The PSU I have in my Harpertown rig has 2 x 8-pin + a 4-pin "ram power connector". (advertised as being able to handle fully-loaded quad-sockets with fully loaded ram configurations )
So in the worst case, I can swap PSUs with that rig.

This 1000W Corsair was originally for my Harpertown rig - and it seems to run it with no issues.
But 16 high-capacity FB-DIMM ram modules pull 4.5A on the +5Vsb rail. That 1000W Corsair is only rated for 3.5A on that rail. So I ended up getting an even stronger PSU for that rig.
But I suppose they overbuild these PSUs anyway... I'll see when it arrives.
