An Opteron 4P may not be the most efficient in ppd/watt but there are 48 cores running in one machine meaning it only needs 1 psu, 1 HDD, etc... so there's a savings there too.

Also, here's a list of the highest output hosts on WCG:
http://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/host/list/16/0/0
Mine is #42 in the Top 100 atm but note this stats site got a little mixed up over the past week so I would watch it closely over the next week or two to see how the rigs stack up.

That's a great result however a dual 1366 board + 2x Xeon x5660 can be had for <$250 and they make 12 - 13K PPD. Also since the TDP is <100W, cheap power bronze power supply like the CX430 can be used ($20) and a used hdd for $10 resulting in a total price of ~$280 for abit more than half the PPD and probably less than half power consumption. The opterons seem to be much more expensive

Okay, so I might have to completely drop WCG soon due to I might be getting kicked out due to family issues. Meaning I gotta find a place to live and a roommate to join me and such. Yay..

I'll see about crunching this week but no promises.

That sounds like a very sticky situation, @Toothless :twitch:

Good luck, in all possible senses, cheer up, sure you can find something nice and quick :toast:

Hey @krusha03 are you now suggesting to everyone the same project that you have suggested me :slap:

Hope things work out for you and remember you will be part of this team even if you need to stop crunching. It is better to help you're self than others at this time.

How many times update Free-DC per day?

Hey man real life issues take precedence. Don't worry about crunching now

Hang in there, @Toothless!

You'll get things sorted out - don't worry.

Toothless · Mar 23, 2015

Thanks everyone! I found a few good spots that I could get into if I can stay here for a month at least. Really cute places too.

I'll see about running WCG over night and getting some points in for the team, as long as it doesn't overheat which I doubt it'll do with the new fans.

Breaking Benjamin is back and I'm fangirling over their new songs which in fact I already downloaded and have been repeating it over and over.

Usually 3 times- Morning, Midday, and Evening

It'll be fun having your first apartment. Just try to get a room mate whom you can tolerate and will respect your privacy as well as your shit.

Toothless · Mar 23, 2015

I have my best friend on the list of considerations and we get along pretty well. He just needs a job to save up his side of the rent and we'll be good. He won't complain considering free tech support.

TO STAY ON TOPIC

WCG is running.

Sounds like your WCG fleet may be expanding.

Don't forget to take power consumption in to account. Might watch for places where electricity is included. Electricity should be ~$0.09 kW/h which means ~$7 a month per 100w (running 24/7), if I've done my math correctly.
Anyways, good luck!

Edit: That's basically what it costs near me, which I assumed would be similar to what you'd see, but actually looking it up, it seems a bit more complicated. Some sources say $0.05 per kW/h for your first 10 kWh.

manofthem · Mar 24, 2015

I didn't notice til just now, but apparently I shut down one of my pcs earlier when I was removing the ps3 next to it, shut down a it knocked the power cable out or something. I always do this :banghead:

mjkmike · Mar 24, 2015

Shit happens but I think you're just giving stinger a bit of pie

stinger608 · Mar 24, 2015

Oh boy, today is going to be a 50/50 day.....................50 degrees, and 50 miles an hour wind. :banghead:

Right now, at 7:15, it probably blowing at a sustained 40 with gusts upwards of 50 miles an hour. Only going to get worse. :shadedshu:

We're half of that here at 25F with 25mph gusts. Stop hogging up all of the warm air

LOL, yea I hear ya man. Friday is suppose to be 65 and Saturday is suppose to be 72!!!! I see riding in my future this weekend if that is the case.

Time for you two to get those crunching heaters going.

manofthem · Mar 24, 2015

Just wondering: anyone ran/running an x5650 CPU and able to share some info on it like power or ppd? I stumbled across one for sale, and the wheels started turning

I don't know about any of you, but I kind of want to put an upcoming broadwell chip in my cruncher.
