I was hoping for more, but it looks like that's all she's got. I guess it's just an old dual Xeon E5430 after all. My little i3 4170 isn't too far off with some of the threads disabled. Going to bump it up and see how close it can get to the server. :roll:

I think i Mighty removed pbo and core boost, for an all core overclock on my 3600x. Boosting to 4.1, will try to get 4.3 or 4.4 , to grab some more points

You'll find that overclocking doesn't add much extra performance and will just cost you more and you'll end up with more heat.. My 3900X be it under air cooling, I run it at just over 3100Mhz otherwise over a long 12 hour stint, I'm looking at 80C + under a 14D cooler... I'm not going to lie that bit sucks, but it really does!!

I just go with the slow and steady wins the race

It's been on the top of the WCG site for a few days I think...

I'm all signed up and ready to go!!

How many others have done the same??

I haven't seen it in the proyects' list, but I think WCG will add it by itself whenever it becomes available

HammerON · Apr 6, 2020

Wife is being kind and is letting me build a new cruncher. Going with a 3900X to add the Xeon cruncher.

Yup, as long you have toggled the "Please opt me in to new projects as they become available." in the Available Projects page, you should be good to go. Which you do :rockout:

Otherwise, you'll have to manually select it. This may apply to people who only get WUs for a certain projects, and the sign-up page at ibm.org/OpenPandemics will just notify you when it's available.

We haven't even seen any beta work for COVID-19. Don't you think we'll see some of those first?

True.. Maybe it will be a 'beta' when it's initially available? I have a feeling they are trying to get it released asap, so.. who knows. I guess we'll find out soon enough though.

I'd definitely recommend water for that bad boy!!

They can run a little warm....

Nordic · Apr 7, 2020

The 3900x is a power house for boince. I am not running it right now for post cost reasons, but it was pulling great points when I did run it.

Ordered an ASUS Crosshair Hero and an EK monoblock for it. Hopefully building it this coming weekend!

Mine seems to run very warm, even with a 14D cooler on it. 80C with it running at just 3150MHz and 0.9vcore seems to still have the temps higher than I'd have expected... But that said, I'm looking to water cool it and later change it for a 3950X if I can..

I have the Hero 8 non Wi-Fi and I'm happy. It runs with 64GB of RAM installed without any issues whatsoever. I really do however need to get tweaking on the setup, as at the moment, it's just very much stock settings... Aside from the lower CPU core speed

Agreed! Mine runs warmer than my brother's 3950x.. We both achieve roughly the same clock speed when crunching on all cores, but his 3950x is 5-10C cooler.

Well the path is clear then @XZero450 ..... We must buy a 3950X to avoid this problem!!

To the Batmobile....

Hang on, I'm getting confused...

Don't forget everyone, nothing will be uploading much for the next few hours since they are having maintenance on their servers

Just wondered why my results where stacking up....

I saw people getting 4.3 with 1.25v so tried tonsee what I can squeeze out of this cpu.

So like my 1700 and 2600x, I got a bad overclocker

4.1ghz all core, on prime, core 0 and 1 failed at 1.3v. So 1.325v should do it, but still, Boinc 100% does 4.1ghz @ 1.35v

I left max pbo 200, auto voltage. Will keep this at stock. I tought I could graba little more without extra voltage!

phill · Apr 9, 2020

I'm trying to lower the voltages myself rather than higher them up when Crunching.. This 3900X is a beast but it's a warm beast to say the least... I do look forward to seeing what it will manage under water and if the temps are a load better...

As I understand it, it doesn't matter what kind of cooling you run, ryzen 3000 will clock upto the limit and always run warm. I recently Googled for any watercooled 3900x/3950x systems and they all run hot regardless of how much cooling is provided.

I don't know how anyone gets these running sub 55C when running all cores at full for extended periods of time. I feel like I'm doing something wrong with my 3900x on my waterloop, but my GPU's are in the same loop near 100% load 24/7 and they run right where I would expect them to. I guess what it comes down to is... "With great power.. Comes great heat output."

I could not fine any examples of someone getting sub 80c regardless of what water cooling loop they used. No matter what the chip ramps up until it hits that temp.

I run 23xWCG plus one Thread for folding. I run between 66 and 70 C on my 3900X, 480 mm rad, so there are at least one example
