When BOINC runs on ThugXeon i get 100% utilization on all threads.

When i run BOINC on a Q6600 task manager bounces between 15 -100%

When i run P95 on Q6600 task manager shows me this

So my question is......how come the Q6600 isnt running at 100% with BOINC but it will with P95.
Its the same story with my Athlon ii x4 640, taskmanager bounces in a similar fashion, but the Xeon runs at 100%. I am certain all my settings are the same.

Q6600 and Athlon are both o/c, i have tried removing o/c but the trace remains the same

I should be able to hook you up with one- drop me a PM and let me know what configuration you need (2 way, 3 way, slot separation, etc..)



No worries- he's in the right place ;)
No worries, I found one at the store. Didnt know they are pretty common.

No idea but my i5 bounces exactly the same, I assumed it had something to do with speedstep or turbo boost, I'll check my APU now, just to compare.

Edit: My APU was set to 90% CPU usage so was bouncing exactly the same, I changed it to 100% and it is flatlining at 100% and not bouncing.
I'll have to keep an eye on temps on that one because it was running at 70c.

Late edit, so I wont add it to my previous post
I noticed the Temp was sitting around 75c for the APU, a bit high for my liking in a laptop, so I went in to Device Profiles and changed it back to 90% CPU usage.
After updating, I saw it was still running at 100%, it seems in simple view of WCG I had to change the setting in Tools also to use no more than 90% or it didn't change.
This then fixed it and it is happily bouncing away as it did before, albeit at a slightly lower temp.
This may be what is causing @CAPSLOCKSTUCK to see his CPU usage varying so much too, perhaps both settings need to be altered as they appear independent of each other.

Check that under preferences that you have 100% of the processors and 100% CPU time set.

I have a couple of new aftermarket coolers left and might have a stock heatpipe one around here somewhere.

Drop me a PM and I'll hook you up with something ;)

its someone elses ad not mine, i was just flagging it up. Good X58 boards arent easy to find second user, my MSI is alright but definitely lower tier.

Hey what's up! long time, no see. :D

I've got boxes of hardware I need to clear out of the garage, it's not worth the time trying to sell. I will be happy to donate to my fellow crunchers! A list/pics of hardware will be going up in the next few weeks, so stay tuned for that. I am not sure what will be useful to you guys, I've been outta the loop for a while. :oops:

I have a problem and could use some help. I reinstalled the OS on the machine - Win7-64 and it's not detecting either of the ethernet ports. So it looks like I need to install the drivers which I now have to dl from the Supermicro site. But none of the listed drivers seem to be for ethernet unless what I need are the C612 drivers. Here is the list. I'll dl all of them but it's ethernet I need to get working first. Which one should I start with?


It seems as if I bought an open box version of the m/b which didn't come with a driver disk.

@twilyth - If the LAN port is supplied by the Intel C612 chipset then you would probably need to grab that one first. What's the model of the board?

Thanks. I've dl'ed and unpacked everything. Have to get out of the activation sequence and back to a prompt so I can do the install.

Just haven't been very motivated for a while now. So I've been doing a little bit now, then again, and again. Can't really focus on just getting the rig going.

I'll report back when I give that a shot.
