I did the 771 -> 775 mod on an ASUS MB, worked great.

Did the same myself, but didn't have much time to play around with it. I really should dust it off one of these days.

I could always test using Cinebench too.

I tried looking for Cinebench scores too. I can't remember where, but I think I saw some benchmarks that showed the X5470 about 25% faster in multi-threaded benchmarks. I'd have to dig to find sources (later).
Considering the difference in power, I'd say the G3258 would be better to run over the X5470. I've basically retired my dual E5450 server due to power. Does about 350 watts running BOINC and it's good for, uh, 6k-ish?

That was exactly what I was thinking as well, I'll be breaking out the kill-a-watt after the G3258 is up and running. The X5470 is no slouch, It's been my second PC going on a year now, quite zippy and reliable. Thanks to @rtwjunkie , I got an ASUS P5Q for really, really cheap! And the chip was less than $70 off eBay, & already had 8 GB of DDR2.

@Sasqui I'm glad to hear it's getting used!! Great boards deserve to die on the job instead of in a dusty closet somewhere.

It is quite used! After my Ivy Bridge rig got a crypto virus, it became my main rig. I haven't forgotten your generosity, and if the rig does die, it'll die with it's boots on!

There is a benchmark that the client runs. Once you install the client, switch to Advanced view and then under Advanced, Run CPU Benchmarks. The results will be displayed in the Event log. You can use that for comparisons.

My G3258 at 4,4GHz under Linux with everything but CEP2 running 24/7 seems to be giving about 2500PPD.

I have a power meter that I could throw on it, but it doesn't work with the current setup, so haven't checked it so far.

TL : DR
System was drawing 31w idle and 69w (120v plug load with kill-a-watt) with the Intel iGPU graphics running Prime95 on both cores at 4.5Ghz. It's rock stable with dynamic core and voltage, Vcore tops at 1.29v and temps are 64c max.

In idle, it draws that 30'ish watt draw, clocks are at 900Mhz and 0.90v (or so). That's what I was aiming for.

If I bump it up to 4.6, Prime95 dies. This is ONLY bumping up the multi in BIOS, all the voltages are "Auto" stock. I'm sure this chip would do 4.8 or more, but I'd loose the dynamic voltage and coreX. It's a trade off.

The good stuff... :clap:

Put in a case with 8GB 2133 CAS9 Sniper RAM, Corsair HX650w Gold PSU and an XFX 290x. Nice looking rig, quiet too.

Install of BIONIC and crunching will commence in the next few days

I'm writing this on my laptop at my GFs house this eve *grin*

Here it is!!! ...I wish the glowing XFX logo showed more...

Cruncher pr0n! :laugh:

Little headsup: running WCG may prove to be a better stability test for you, long term. After passing stress tests, a rig can/may start to fail crunching 24/7; but no worries though, just decrease OC a tad. Just keep an eye on your results on your WCG page, look for errors and/or invalids.

Get's me all hot and bothered just looking at it. My 15 yr old did most of the work putting in components with a a bit of coaching. He was surprised how fast it was all put together "wow dad, it's almost done?"

We may get the crunching to commence this evening (probably after he installs Steam

) I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes and may play more with voltages and BIOS setting if it's not 100% stable. Or just knock it down to 4.4 Ghz if I'm feeling lazy!

:toast:

Edit: The be quiet! cooler came with a second fan (I think it was a toss-in). I'd be interested to try a push-pull and see what difference it makes, but I'm not sure how to mount it, open to suggestions...

thebluebumblebee · Jan 27, 2016

The cooler didn't come with a second set of "fan mounts"? Looks like the cooler's set up for a second fan....

Yep, fans can be put on either side or both. The extra fan was not included in the original package as far as I can tell, it's a different model and only 2-pins. I couldn't find any other mounting clips in the box.

Just found TPU's review and it only comes with one set of fan clips. Cable ties??? You could e-mail Be Quiet! and see if they'll send you another set.

Wouldn't hurt, I'll give that a try. Have one fan header remaining on the MB. Side note, love the UEFI BIOS on this board, the fan controls are awesome.

@Norton Onto CRUNCHING! Here's what I got, son played burnout paradise for an hour or so on the rig and it's nice and zippy! We resumed BIONIC and ran all night no problems.

Couple of questions:

Any way to gauge performance from this screenshot? I did opt to let it use the GPU, but apparently it didn't have anything to throw at it (at least this project)
Is the TPU team getting credit for this? I followed the links from Norton to sign up and install BIONIC...

[Ion] · Jan 28, 2016

Best way to gauge performance is to let it run for a few days and see how it's doing

Unfortunately no GPU work available right now.

It's running as I type!

@Norton supplied the same link: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/reg/viewRegister.do?teamID=S8TLJ6TFV1

I followed that, registered, etc. .... How can I verify that the Crunching credit's are going to our team?

In the BOINC manager, click on view and then advanced.
Select the projects tab. It will be shown there.

Thanks, indeed I was NOT part of the TechPowerUp! team. NOW I AM!!! :toast:

Edit: Not sure if the Crunching going on back home will all of a sudden start crediting TPU, I'll check this evening. I also just noticed the "Team name:" in my screenshot was blank (duh).
