Which Vista, hawkeyefan? Home? Premium? Ultimate? Raspberry? Tofu?

Hang on ... you got a 2GHz chip running at 3.1? Nicely done!

Yeah, it's on air but naked. I turn it down to 3.0Ghz for crunching as it takes too much voltage to run stable at that speed.

Naked ... you took off the IHS I take it? I tried that with my Opty 185. Couldn't get the HS to mount. Retainer wouldn't take up the slack. (s939). Ended up putting it back on, but got better temps than before anyway (old compound under the IHS had dried out).

Yep. Only works with certain heatsinks though. Thermaltake BigTyphoon works with stock hardware. Even have it mounted in a normal upright case (typhoon is horizontal) which most people warn against.

Works like a charm.

Is that Home Basic or Home Premium? And which BOINC version?

[loonym]

Nice cpu Andy. Mine starts puking a little after 470fsb unless I really crank the volts. But hey, the price was right!

Edited for idiocy

hawkeyefan, that question was actually for Malcontent re THIS POST ... I got yours. Thanks.

I haven't been lucky to ever buy what I'd consider to be a cherry cpu. I do have an x3360 that I consider to be outstanding though. I got it direct from intel through rma. Really got me thinking that I should kill a couple of my less desirables if that's what they're going to send me back.

From another thread:

6.3.12

# of CPUs: 8
3934 FPU
12107 Integer

That's my X5450's at 430x9=3870Mhz, XP x64 SP2.

That enough for 40k/d?

[jcool]

Ya, seeing that beast in action was too much for me, too.
I already succumbed to the plan of building a 2nd one, maybe even a 3rd. Having 2 pairs of unused Harpertown CPUs lying around doesn't help with that either

[TouGe]

Here's how I'm running now:
Windows Xp 64
5.10.45
QX9650 @ 3.8GHz (9.5x400)

Just shy or 45k in theory.

How do you even calculate that?

[D_A]

Here's how I'm running now:

That's nice, TouGe, but what version of Windows and of BOINC? And what is the chip running at?

[D_A]

How do you even calculate that?

I'll give you the formula I use, which I got from this forum as it happens.

(Dhrystone + Whetstone) x 0.05 times the number of cores times 7 (to get from BOINC points to WCG points)

[jcool]

mmh okay.. let's see what it can do in reality, but I think it's not that far off (since it cached 120k WCG in 2,5 days)

[D_A]

Well when I add up all the machines in my own collection and run the math it works out pretty well. Of course we're still at the mercy of the validation quorum, so it's only an approximate guide to what a machine COULD do if it was granted everything it claimed AND it runs 100% 24/7.

[jcool]

24/7 100% is a given anyways

But yeah, I checked yesterday and I once got 3 "inconclusive" WUs that weren't counted

[D_A]

They'll be decided soon enough. I've never had any stay like that for long.

Do u have a score list or database?
Searching for it like a ghost

[TouGe]

That's nice, TouGe, but what version of Windows and of BOINC? And what is the chip running at?

D'oh, how'd I miss that, edited.
