    I want to see tonight's update. Then I'll post up some individual WU results. I won't post overall machine totals until they settle in. The HCC WUs have to clear out of the pending val queue, on the 860 rig, before I can accurately report machine totals.

    I hate rushing data out just because. It does no good and there's no science to be had. There is no "sound byte" results on this test. It will take a week or longer to draw final conclusions.

    As to the power question, I'll move the kill-a-watt back over to the 860 rig. That has had some changes to it, enough to warrant re-visiting it.

    The 920 rig is drawing 223 watts, Boinc loaded. It's drawing 126 watts at idle.

    The 860 rig is drawing 186 watts, Boinc loaded. It's drawing 94 watts idle.

    So, the slight bump in Vcore, along with a significant boost to QPI speed only cost me about 3 watts! That's cool, I expected it to be more.

    I suspect Emu and my chip are similar in that in order to hit 4 gig, significant vcore will be needed. I'll try that out in a couple of days. Right now it's 3.7 gig, head to head.

    Oh, and now it's been more than 8 minutes since Hicks post below.....I'm a cra*py typer.....
