In about another month or so, I'll be bitching how cold it is here.

That's the best kind of bitching.... can't wait!

I guess I'm in the ideal place really, it doesn't (usually) get too hot, and in the winter it doesn't get crazy cold, just rains a lot. Respect to the guys slogging it out in the heat!

Anyone (USA) need a low power (15 watts!) cruncher? Add a laptop HDD (used at $20) or maybe find a small SSD and 1 or 2 DDR3L SO-DIMM's, also available used. I3-5005U, so 2 cores, 4 threads. It lists Linux as a supported OS.

I wish I could buy one of these. A single local CL listing has the other parts needed for $50: https://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/sop/d/laptop-parts-ram-ssd/6265221332.html

Wonder what kind of PPD that system would produce?

Down here in the south, it's not so much the heat, but the humidity to go with it. 95F is much more tolerable when the humidity isn't 70%

I can't wait for summer to be over. Power bill just goes through the roof trying to keep the house cool enough, even without a bunch of crunchers chugging along 24x7

1000-1300 on Linux is my estimate based on a 2520M running hot which makes it about 10 times more efficient than my old Intels.

My i3-3220T gets 3,200-3,300 PPD on Linux while only running OZ and OET. It runs at 2.8GHz whereas that I3-5005U runs at 2.0GHz. If output scales with GHz, the I3-5005U runs 30% slower and should therefore get upwards of 2,400 PPD. Anyone want to prove it?

Quoted for unequivocal truth!

Yeah pretty much. It was a bright almost dayglow red and now it's a gross purple brown color. I swapped the fluid out about a month ago with the other half of the bottle, that did the same within a month. It's kinda frosted the res tube, it should polish out easy enough but i gave it a good scrub in detergent and didn't get anywhere. I think it's partly due to sun being on this machine for a few hours of the day, probably should relocate it! But yeah, no more pastel fluids, shoulda listened to Jay!

The blue ek fluid in the 6700k system has stayed really nice, I think it's been going for about a year now 24/7 and doesn't look like it needs touching.

Check out @theonedub 's experience with that pastel fluid:

I'm turning up the WCG. Found out an uncle of mine lost remission and the cancer is in his brain. They're doing a huge amount to get rid of it and I really hope they can get rid of it completely this time.

Getting second rig into this.

 

[infrared]

Oh man, sorry to hear that Toothless Hoping for the best!

@Norton That's disgraceful, doesn't really surprise me but the way he spoke to theonedub was very patronizing. I'll get some pics of mine when i drain and clean it, it's absolutely disgusting! The tubing is going to need changing and waterblock/rad cleaning thoroughly. I usually like messing with watercooling but this is going to be a chore! If I can find a case I like I might put this off until I've got some petg tubing and fittings to re-do the loop properly.

Ryzen 1700 finally up.
I still having some issue with the system. Case Fans don't work, PSU wires were short so the side panel is open and PSU is raised with some books to reach the connectors on the board. only M2 drive connected as wire dont reach the HDD. but the main issue is system is not shutting down.
Still put it on cruncher duty to check the temps with the old AM3 heatsink.

 

[Norton]

but the main issue is system is not shutting down.

That's a bit odd- what OS are you using?

Really liking the Ryzen output at stock clocks!

 

[Recca29]

Win 10. Its not activated yet, bought a key but it didn't work.

Edit:
Temps stable at 60, max was 64 after running all night.

I am astonished by the low power consumption compared to the Phenom II 960T (OC 3.9 GHz) that i used to own.

Nice. Got the email but didn't have the chance to look into it yet. Always stoked for a new project, and let's hope they put out plenty of work.

 

[HammerON]

Anyone know how many ppd a stock 1950X is averaging? Thinking of replacing the E5 2683...

 

[infrared]

A stock 1800x will get 20k (in Linux, on the SCC project) so I'd imagine a 1950x will get a smidge under 2x that due to marginally lower clocks. What's the xeon getting?

 

[HammerON]

13,000 on Windows 10. I should switch over to Linux though. Just have not had time...

Here's a 1950X crunching- looks like 20-25k (Win10)

13,000 on Windows 10. I should switch over to Linux though. Just have not had time...

Figure about 20% more ppd in Linux- My 1700X (Win10) and 1600X(Ubuntu) get around 12k ppd even though the 1600X has 25% fewer threads

Got two - heads up they are big in memory use

Yeah, they are! I've only given linux half of a 120gb SSD and it's very nearly out of space after it's started doing these MIP work units!



I don't use the windows partition on this ssd anymore so I think when I can be bothered I'll try to delete that partition and expand the linux one.

 

[infrared]

Hmmm, my ppd was wayyyy down so I had a look through my individual hosts. It seems like since switching to MIP, the PPD on both my 1800X (both linux) rigs has fallen to around half of what they were getting with SCC. Strangely the 6700k & i3-4170 (both windows) don't seem to have been affected the same, so it's probably that MIP prefers running in a Windows environment to Linux, could also be it prefers intel processors but I'm betting on the OS.

Thought I'd give you all a heads up anyway.

edit: I'll get on of the 1800x rigs crunching in windows to see what happens, otherwise setting custom profiles to keep linux rigs on the SCC project might be a good idea.

edit 2: Hmm, 3 day work buffer dammit. And also looks like I've been getting a selection of work, not just MIP.

I have one Linux machine running (Intel) and the few units it did was yielding higher than it does on SCC but as I recall that Intel/Linux machine did good on the initial SCCs so hardly helpful.
