Xtremesystems WCG team and member rank

[WFO]

This has nothing to do with team member or rank. It's not a WCG or Boinc stone either. But this kinda looks like a toot your own horn thread sooo.... Woot! My 1st 1,000,000 point day.

6 rigs:
1- 3960x
1- 3770K
3- 2600Ks
1- 2600
with...

1 7970 and 2 ancient Nvidia GTX 295's produced:

1,052,908 WCG

[Toolius]

That is awesome !!!!
Way to go WFO
I am waiting to get membership to this club

[Bun-Bun]

Gratz WFO! I also hit over 1mil WCG today.

[WFO]

Thanks Toolius!

Gratz WFO! I also hit over 1mil WCG today.

Hmmm... does that mean I won't get arse pie again tomorrow?

[Bun-Bun]

Nope you still have arse pie

[OldChap]

Anyone want to take a punt on how much arse pie will cost during SC week?

[Bun-Bun]

200k boinc points?

I just upped my 7950 to 1100 Mhz core clock

I have a question: I am planning on getting a 7950 or 7970 for my main computer, but I want to know if you get any lag when running WCG on your card while using the computer.
If so, I won't be able to run WCG for more than 14 hours per day on that computer and it would probably be more usefull to buy another dedicated card that can run 24/7 in another computer.
Are you able to watch youtube, scroll fluently etc without it stuttering with that 7950 while running WCG?

[Bun-Bun]

Day to day usage its not a smooth as when not crunching but it is still very good. I still watch video's and do my day to day stuff with the card(s) going. I only suspend them when gaming.

Stay away from Nvidia cards for this, they can't take it. System goes to an unbearable crawl.

I noticed a stutter when using a 460GTX but it was livable.
Best way to say it is the AMD based cards are better but nVidia is also ok. No stuttering with my 5870 card unless I'm playing a video but you always have the option in sys tray to "Snooze GPU"

[Bun-Bun]

GTX400 series seem to be fairing better than the 500 and 600 series. Both my GTX560 and GTX670 the computer is not usable while crunching.

I had my 460GTX in my daily driver for the first week of GPU computing then got smart and moved it to a dedicated cruncher downstairs and dropped in the 5870 here and much happier
I wonder what this machine will be like with 2-7970's running with 8 GPU WU each with a full dedicated cpu core to each WU?

[Bun-Bun]

Should be smooth sailing with 1.6 mil WCGPPD

That system has a lot of overhead should handle it just fine.

[Bun-Bun]

Hey... WFO...

[pirogue]

I never thought I'd see this. Top 10 for a day.

[Rob_B]

Great job.

I would be happy if I would make into the top 100.

[WFO]

Hey... WFO...

Very nice Bun-Bun! I hit 1.8M today. I'm still ramping up.

[retro77]

I salute the top 25 [>100k/day]:

[MaxCFM]

I salute the top 25 [>100k/day]:

I really never even thought that I would be in the top 25 around here I'm still in shock.... and I just checked my PV's 80 pages of them So I guess I get to experience this whole "still ramping up" phrase I keep seeing around here

A big thank you to Movieman for the SC Week email to remind me to get my tail in gear, and all the great people that are putting up the information about the GPU bits and how to get the most out of it!

[Conquistador SW]

Wooohooooo. Number 20 on the list.

This 7970 does some great work!

One quick question, is it safe to fold 24/7 on my 3770k at 4.8ghz-1.36v-50-54c max? Or shall i drop my vcore at 1.3v or less no matter the temps?

[Snow Crash]

I think you'll be fine, just be sure to watch for instability. Even though you may not crash you should check your WCG "Results" for Invalid and Error.

[OldChap]

I would say you are good. My rig has done that no problem. Those temps being low will help.

Others may disagree and this will not be an efficient setup for power use. For that you probably need to drop to 4.6 or 4.5 which will put you in the 1.2x volts range probably

Safe? Yes. Well... at least I wouldn't think twice about it.

Efficient? Not very - dropping your voltage (and therefore your clock) even a little bit while make huge gains in power consumption, but if that's not much of a concern, your temps are good. Just make sure you're not getting invalid/error WUs on WCG and you're good to go.

I always check for instability before invalid/error results through WHEA errors.

I can also do 4.6Ghz@1.28v and 4.7@1.32v. Do you think 0.08v drop would be so much more efficient?
