Base is 2.0 GHz (3.0 GHz turbo). I will have to look at what app I can use (or via the Terminal) to view CPU frequency. I cannot view temps, which sucks, but I do know the pump is working.

id say try a VM, but if its hosted within the current environment, i think the issue will likely persist....I sure hope You get it sorted out tho....anything less than massive ppd is a shame for such a beastly cpu. Good luck .

do you have a win10 Key? or i suppose you could just run it a s a test without activation to see if it clears up

m&m's · Mar 28, 2018

Update to the latest available kernel. EPYC is still hardly supported by many OSes. Lots of features could be unavailable on an older kernel.

I do have a Windows 10 key not in use currently.

I will do that!

Sorry guys for the lack of posting for a while.. Been kinda of busy with my daughter and with testing a few GPUs and such, but since a few things have finally turned up over the last few days, I thought I'd let you take a look at what I've been up to

The CPUs are

2 x X5650's that used to be in the SR-2
4 x L5640's that I've recently bought

I have tried the wattage meter on those very briefly since having it, I've thrown in the two X5650's as well just to give myself an idea of what the wattage was before and after.. Even have some results for the quad core CPU that was in it to begin with

I'm hoping to also get the SR-2 up and running so I would like to think that the extra 72 threads that I have here, will add a little bit more to the teams scores

Bit of ram for my VM and Dell Server

I have had to buy the extra heatsink for the server and an extra fan as this was a single CPU only when I first had it and work seems to be dragging it's heels when it comes to getting rid of the other bits they have, so I thought I'd actually spend some cash

I just wanted to do something that would help the team and ultimately and hopefully, help someone with Cancer, so here's a bit of a donation but in a way I could have some control over of what the money does for the cause

Hopefully this will make a difference

Whenever I can gain a few more servers from work when they are throwing them out (they have a fairly big upgrade coming this year, hopefully I can rescue as much kit as possible

This was made possible by a recent $25 win for one of the crunching challenges we had a little while ago, one @stinger608 gave me a winning prize, so I thought as I had gained a little extra cash from working on call, what better way to put it to good use and gain a bit more crunching power for the team

So I would like to thank him for making this possible

Thats awesome. Lovve those boards

phill · Mar 28, 2018

Thank you

I am hoping to get another R710 so I can use the other two L5640's and have that crunching away as well

I know the X58 based Xeons aren't the most efficient but I'm just trying to make use of what I have here and I though it was pretty decent to have won a prize, so I thought perfect excuse!!

Hopefully when I can get the bits out the loft tomorrow, the SR-2 will be up and crunching as well.. I am interested to see what it uses power wise compared to the VM Linux I've got running at the moment. I think there's going to be a bit of a difference....

Arjai · Mar 29, 2018

This is the last month, average-wise. Hasn't seemed to top off yet, either. Soon, I will have the Opti ready to go with an i7 3770, hopefully sometime in April. That will be a 50% raise in thread count! Another 3GHz + Cpu but with 8 threads, instead of 4 (like the i3's and this i5 in the lappytop). Then, if my money don't get funny...maybe another UltraSlim i3 box. The A10 build is at a standstill. However, I will get that done, perhaps, instead of another i3 box. IDK, it is mostly the money holding me back.

How do we know the scientists who use this crunching power do it for a good cause and we aren't just mining Monero for them secretly when no one is looking? Just curious, I am new to this world, I have only ever done folding (and now that I think about, am curious about that as well and mining... lol)

I provided you with all the pertinent info & links to wcg. Id take a while and read into the project & form my opinions that way if i had doubts. If you feel uncomfortable about the cause, you can find another.

Not uncomfortable at all, just curious. Will read now, thanks mates.

edit: I have learned to not trust anyone in this world* hence my requiring evidence lol

Updated kernel to the latest version. Thanks @m&m's

Was able to see that idle the CPU's run about at 1.12 GHz
Under full load they boost to around 2.77 GHz

Arjai · Mar 29, 2018

Um, 48 threads? What does that pull from the wall? I am interested in how that breaks down wattage per thread/WU.

@HammerON ?

Edit: Also, looking at you picture, MIPS at 50% has taken 5 hours? I have an i5 mobile chip 4 threads at 2.0GHz. MIPS run to completion in under 4 hours. OZ and OET look to be running slow, also.

infrared · Mar 29, 2018

@HammerON

Glad to see it up and running, such an insane number of threads!!

Good spot, a few of us using Ryzen have noticed this, MIPS seems to run best on intel/windows, I only run it on my 6700k system. SSC runs a lot better on ryzen/linux.

Arjai · Mar 29, 2018

SSC on my lappytop, i5 2GHz, takes about 4.5 hours. If I had time I would look at the i3 times, but I have to leave for work now...

+1, my Ryzen 1700 doesn't like MIPS at all. gives about 45% output when compared to OET or OZ.

OET or OZ

And those are some of the best performing projects on Linux.

HammerON · Mar 29, 2018

Thanks folks for pointing that out

Norton has already had me set my Device Profile to only get OET, OZ and SCC.
I was waiting for the others to clear, but I did end up aborting them last night.
Right now the system is running Windows 10 as I had it already on my spare SSD. OS is a lot spunkier. We will see how she performs with Windows 10...
I did run Cinebench for fun:

But now that you're on W10, MIP is the better PPD getter. :roll:

So let's clarify just a little bit...

MIP is better on Windows 10, yes? Does this also apply to Ryzen chips?

I just added back in MIP and there's some work downloaded but not yet running. On second thought, i may remove MIP because I was worked on FAAH2 and since adding MIP, I don't think I've gotten any work from FAAH2

Amd specifically afaik, ryzen too

manofthem · Mar 29, 2018

Something weird just happened. Checked the wife's rig and found WCG idle with no tasks running and not the WCG listed under projects. I have no idea how that happened, but a restart fixed it, now crunching. Very weird :ohwell:

jboydgolfer said:

Just removed it from my AMD rig for now, going to focus on other stuff on that one. Adjusted the other devices to crunch a better mix.

It's all good. Maybe I'll give this Ryzen a little challenge: maybe run a different project for about a week straight and see how ppd changes and varies. Would be interesting.
