The "Oh My, Look Who Has Pie" Thread

[CyberDruid]

Are you trying to keep the voltages stock ? It's all watercooled so you should be able to push them some more I'd think.

Maybe but the P5K-VM has wicked droop 1.6 (max available) in BIOS equals 1.42 under load. The Q6600 is voltage hungry plus I need faster RAM the 667 is already maxed at 800. I might kept a few points more from it... but not much. The TRUE is okay but not as good as LC.

The X3320s both seem to ramp up in heat and need for juice dramatically after 3 ghz. I want these to last so I am keeping BIOS settings fairly conservative (1.3875 Vcore) On the Asus I started getting BSODs after two days of solid 3.5ghz crunching...so I tuned it back to 3.

I'll play with them more and see what I can get without going over 1.4 for the 45nm stuff.

Must have Pie at least once

Calling Dr. Sig...... Calling Dr. Sig..........

In my short quest for pie I can say that stability is more important than MHz as the longer your PC is up total the more wus crunched. Well someone can correct me if I am wrong but I have clocked mine back a bit for stability as they would BSOD and not reboot hence low output.

So I hope to see you back on the pie soon CD in the quest for pie! Whatch out for that andy guy he likes to sneak up and grab the pie!

This appears to be a VERY serious case of "Ain't Gettin No Ass PIE" Psychosis.

There is only one thing that can restore your mental health...Take two i7 quads and call me in the morning.

Yes, I agree we have a winner here. (OK, I realize I took SiG's qoute out of context. Sue me...)

Tortoise and the hare. God knows I'm not the best clocker out there, but my machines are on and up for most of 24/7/365. On a new machine, I clock to the max and then begin backing it off until it can run totally un-managed for weeks. I have some machines that have gone a year without even blowing the dust bunnies out of them. I even have a few that have bad front fans, in 4u rackmount cases that are still running.... I only touch them when they break, which isn't often.

And like SiG, I'm also currently without an i7....That will come when our dualie master can advise me on the Gainstown stuff.

I think if the rest of the solid veteran crunchers check in, they will verify that this strategy is correct...It does not matter what you crunch, just that you crunch it for all it's worth, ALL the time....

Regards,
Bob

Agreed.. machines that don't break down are the way to go..
200-300 less mhz but running always is the winning ticket..
Look at it this way..
You get up, go to work, get home at 5pm and find that sometime since 11pm the previous evening the machine went done..
You lost almost a full day..
It ain't worth it..Not for an additional 100 points a day vs losing 5-7 days a year.. or burning out a board due to excessive voltage for the cooling you have..

Users Returning Work : 185/907 (20.40%)<--- that number there, so is that out of a team membership of 907 only 185 had returned completed work units for the day

Correct, some people have their preferences setup to upload work units only twice a day and others more often.

If you want to see just how well we compete, take a look at the other teams around us in PPD and just how many people they have on their roster.

Team 2ch - Users Returning Work : 1870/8266 (22.62%)
