Yup CX600

Rig is crunching away.

Is it me, or is the CM212+ the most popular aftermarket air cooler of all time? I own 11 of them....LOL!

I actually have run WCG on an OCed K6-II this year, and I think it took over a week per WU on Win2000 with 192-384MB RAM. Both my K6 systems have been offline though, but one is a 366/66 on an ASUS SP97-V and the other an HP oem ASUS SPAX with a 475/97 @ 76 FSB and 415 core or something.

Good stuff...the AMD FX8 CPUs make very affordable crunching rigs. Mine sure does well....would probably do better with a bit more of an OC at some point.
Your setup is so clean!

Well, to be fair, that's 8 of them across two systems

Right....~190 threads just isn't enough
Now I'm comfortably over 200 though...IIRC about 220 across everything

Yeah, I went into the BIOS and disabled everything that looked like it might relate to energy saving...helped quite a bit.
$300 shipped for the motherboard, CPUs, and heatsinks. Antec PSU was purchased a couple years ago for $10; RAM was $11/stick IIRC. 80GB VelociRaptor was $8.

Not a bad price for a dual socket board. WHat is your expected ppd?

Thanks

The case will be here tomorrow. I can't complain on price either. Complete with case and all I have right around $400 in the little sucker. That's with everything coming new from Newegg except the cpu and hsf. I had the hyper 212+ laying around and the cpu I bough a month or so ago used for like $125. It's purring right along at 4.2. vrm are just bearly warm so it should be good.

Nice

That's about what I spent on mine, I think, but it's using the PSU out of an old HP and has no case

And $400 is right about what I spent on the new 2P....let's see how they fare vs each other

for some reason can't find deals on good cheap stuff local here. Everyone wants 4 to $500 just for a Phenom II quad core rig.

Quite a good price given what I usually see them at...although the Westmere CPUs are getting a bit long in the tooth. A 2.93GHz hex for $100 is still quite a bargain, but at $240, Ivy Bridge starts to make more sense...

Hey Ion, do you have any ES processors running in those Z400s of yours? A HP employee on the HP forums claims the BIOSes don't have the ES microcodes in them for them to work.

Moscow is running an ES X5670:

St_Petersburg is just a regular W3503 (gonna buy a six-core X56x0 at some point, but I don't have $100 to spare ATM after building Budapest):

Speaking of Budapest.....happily crunching away on the shelf. Sure does kick out a lot of heat :eek:

Nordic · Dec 5, 2014

I wonder if you could find a middle ground on those power saving options. Where it doesn't throttle you below 2.6ghz but still save some power. I guess that doesn't matter to you though.

Well, it would be nice to have it a bit cooler in here...and stop blowing the circuit breaker

That's a good suggestion...I'll take a shot after exams to see if I can figure out something.

Not good!!!..... a circuit breaker is a protective device and not made for continuous resetting. Each time a circuit breaker trips it gets a little weaker* until it is eventually useless. If you've tripped/reset that breaker more than a dozen times you can just about bank on that breaker being 10% weaker than a new one- it will get progressively worse from there.
* I have some small breakers at work that I have to throw away after 4 or 5 trips. The bimetallic element suffers from metal fatigue and the contacts get scorched and pitted.

Highly recommend you drop your total load on that circuit by at least 10% before you start losing stuff!!!

Peter1986C · Dec 5, 2014

Indeed, undo an OC or two on your machines or shut off a few.

Didn't realize it behaved like that.
My earlier message made things sound far worse than they actually were--it's only actually blown twice. After yesterday, I moved two of the i5s to another circuit (about 280w total or slightly over 10%)--should be safe now :toast:

Thank you very much for the warning

Once or twice is one thing... some folks treat breakers like light switches. If it's starting to become a more common issue then worry about it more.

manofthem · Dec 5, 2014

My Internet dropped out today and I've no idea why. Of course, Comcast doesn't know what's going on either. A guy is supposed to be coming tomorrow to see what's up, but it appears to be the modem; cable for TV works, router works, modem directly to pc doesn't work even after a reset

So that sucks

twilyth · Dec 5, 2014

Time to see if you can hack a neighbor's wifi - j/k.

They might be doing you a favor though if they have to replace the modem. I had my last one for several years and it was using an outdated version of DOCSIS. Thee newest version seems to be 3.1 and is only about a year old so if you get a new modem, you might see better speeds.

stinger608 · Dec 5, 2014

Just unplug the damn thing @manofthem and take it to the office and get another one. At least you will have your internet back tonight?

manofthem · Dec 5, 2014

The wife now is going to exchange it, but I'm not hopeful. This modem/router combo was just replaced in July, so it's only a few months old (assuming it was new when I got it) and when I got it then, the issue wasn't even with the old modem, it was the service somehow or outside configuration.

So I'm depending on it not getting fixes and being with Internet for the day and night. We still have the appointment tomorrow so if it doesn't get fixed, the guy should fix it tomorrow.

And I don't think anyone around has open WiFi but then again my pcs don't have WiFi adapters. I couldn't try to tether my phone's service but then again I don't know how to do that either :rolleyes:
