Well guys it was a surprise to me to be honest, I didn't think I was worthy of such a placement for such an awesome team, but I do hope that everyone is ok with the move and that if there's ANYTHING that ANYONE would like to suggest, change or ask me to do differently or whatever (apart from give out lottery numbers, I'm crap with those as well!!) then please do put up a post/thread and tag me in it

I'm hoping for some suggestions and such...

I'd like to try and do a give away, but it might be a little difficult but I think we could try and do a UK and possible rest of the world type give away...

(Something to work on I think

)

Nope, I haven't received an email other than the one that Bill sent out.

Can you see it in the junk box @stinger608 ?? I'm surprised you've not got it if you've had one from Bill previously and I made sure I said email everyone....

I can post it up here if you'd like me to sir??

Over the last 7 days, I pretty much have not used my 3900x computer while it has crunched 24/7. It has averaged nearly 30,000 a day. With moderate use, I am averaging 25,000 a day. I wanted to know how high it could go, and it seems this is about it. I could probably get a little higher with some tuning but I am happy with this.

What OS and projects?

Up to date Windows 10 and whatever projects are sent to me. It is the computer in my specs.

How do you find your temps @Nordic with the 3900X? Do you undervolt the CPU at all?

seems like it has always been hit and miss with BOINC emails. Some I would get and others not.
Yeppers, checked to ensure it didn't end up in my junk folder.

@stinger608 r I can send you on in a PM if you'd like sir?

I use a variety of programs. At this moment, I used Ryzen Master to tell you that my chip is running at 72c. I usually use HWinfo though.

I am not undervolting right now.

@phill there are no way around going 4.2 GHz, lower than 70 degree C and 100% use unless you go really extreme. The heat transferee at the small chip needs low water temperature to cope with +140 W. My (Linux) WCG/Rosetta/folding 3900X is running between 66 and 68 C with an external 480 mm radiator with fans running max and I can’t sense the difference by hand on inlet and outlet water temperature. d5 with high flow top so plenty of flow. Stay at the 65 W setting and enjoy your <70 C. @Nordic 72 C is decent but is there a folding GPU in the case? My 2700X jumps 8 degree C when I fire up my gpus, test bench....

Nordic · Jun 8, 2020

No gpu running for that temp.

phill · Jun 9, 2020

I've been enjoying a slightly lower temp today...

That's after most of the day folding and I hope you can see the max temps in there as well... I feel for the longativity of the CPU, it might not have the 100% performance, but 80 to 85% isn't bad either with the temps being so low.
I'd love to get some custom water cooling on it with the same settings to see what it manages.....

Ends at midnight PDT. It's sooooo :rolleyes:

cheap now! :laugh:

Of course you can't find a decent motherboard for it.

phill · Jun 10, 2020

It's not so bad over here in th eUK, but it's still £20 more expensive than it has been - Curry's 3950X Linky... The only reason I'm considering Currys for my hardware of late is that I can get 10% discount off of it so with that in mind, I've had my 3900X for about 6 months now, paid £400 ish for it, I can't see it around that at the moment so I'm definitely happy with the purchase

I've been asked about selling it and then I could grab a 3950X but I'm not sure just yet.... I might wait and drop on the 4950X instead......

windwhirl · Jun 13, 2020

Hey, @phill by any chance did you re-send the team email? I just got it in my inbox... though for whatever reason the text is formatted with nearly white color. On a white background...

phill · Jun 14, 2020

That's just awesome @windwhirl !! :laugh:

I had a similar PM from the good man himself @stinger608 saying that he'd actually received this email this time!! :laugh:

I was going through a few tabs in my Chrome browser and noticed I was logged in and then went back a few times and I think it must have sent the message again!! Not quite what I was expecting to be honest mate!! :laugh:

Still, was there anyone who didn't get another copy of the message at all??.... lol

As of a few weeks ago, I am officially on Crunching hiatus

I don't want to to strain my barely working central AC unit (some estimates put it at almost as old as me...) in the summer heat.
I have also been dealing with a host of medical issues (went to the ER twice since Thursday) and a botched foot surgery that happened in February. Most likely needs redone.
I hope to be back when it cools off or if I get a new AC unit (most likely in the Fall)

First things first mate, take care of you!!

The other bits will fall inline at some point I hope soon

Anything we can do just shout away!!

Did you not get a WCG mail a few weeks back @theonedub ?? @Norton got in touch and has given up the Captain status and has transferred it over to myself.. I did send out a few mails since then just to let people know and see if anyone has any ideas or feedback for me or just in general about it

I've been having the odd email from @Norton, he's been fine just massively busy and over worked by the sounds of it... I have said I hope he'll be back online at some point however short or long, everyone would just be very excited to see him
