It'd be a K-chip in both cases, so same boat for cooling. Get both, test 'em out and flip the loser?

OK so two Ks. I have switched my glasses and now I can see that is what you wrote Then I would take the older brother with more threads.

In order to make a decent test you need to run them a week before the points are correct but yes if you have the time and energy please test.

BarbaricSoul runs a i9-10850K

With 99% certainty, the 10700K will out produce an 11600k for WCG. It will use less power and run cooler doing so. Rocket Lake is hot n' hungry. Excellent choice on the Z490 A-Pro. Have one myself that's run both a 10900 and a 10400 (both non-K). It's rock solid.

Got my hands on a 3970X so I am going to be replacing the 3900X with a new Threadripper build. Just waiting for the rest of the parts and some time to switch things around.

Sweet, that could almost off-set the lack of OPNG. Which MB this time?

 

[HammerON]

I am going with the first version of the ASUS ROG Strix TRX40-E as I found one for a good deal. I will be switching the 3960X to the new motherboard and placing the 3970X in the XE variant. I don't think it will matter too much as the XE version was brought out to support the 3990X from what I can tell.
I have noticed the OPNG work is slowing down...

Need a little help here.

I did a few changes all at the same time (OS and memory change/upgrade) and have been receiving a good number of 'invalid' results and 4 or 5 'errors' since. I think I solved the errors by removing a pair of memory sticks in the one box where they were occuring, but the invalid's keep coming from both. Mainly seeing problems with ARP and MCM.

I pulled one machine off and am running some memory tests, but so far all good.

CPU temps seem to be fine (under 70c at all times on the 3900x, and at 60c on the 3950x). Both are running with the 95w Eco profile, so there's no overclocking going on.

Any thoughts?

Sounds like a RAM incompatibility. Is it on the QVL list?

BTW, F@H and WCG often find instabilities in systems that none of the testing utilities will find.

Thanks. That's what I was leaning towards, and hoping it wasn't. They are on the QVL for both 2 and 4 DIMM configurations for both boards. Running them at XMP with no other tweaks.

Thinking about it more, it has to be the RAM - these two machines have run previously without problem with nothing other than a memory change (but were running Windows).

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Running them at XMP with no other tweaks.

That's most likely the cause. Just turn off XMP and see what happens.

Well since Rosetta is being dumb with giving next to no work, I've switched over to WCG til they get their sh!t together. It's also a bit cold so I have:

2x 2698v4, 4790k, E5-1650, 6900k, and half of my 3700x over to crunch. I wonder what kind of numbers all this will get.

BTW, F@H and WCG often find instabilities in systems that none of the testing utilities will find.

Maybe that's why my 6600K rig will soft reboot every once in a great while, with a BIOS message complaining about failed OC settings (running at 4.2/2800). Everything else has been golden, except that one time my X5670@4.0 soft-locked (could move the mouse, but nothing would accept input).

Just joined in the fun a few weeks ago. Have an i5-7400 in the stereo cabinet crunching away 24/7, Razer Blade 14 when it's on not busy with Unity (Ryzen 5900hx), and the box i'm on right now TinyTim (i5-6500t, HP ProDesk 400 G3 Mini). I've also got a couple of Wyse clients I'm playing around with I might connect up for giggles at some point. Crunch Crunch Crunch

Welcome Quigly and massive thanks and respect to you for the crunching power!! Hope you'll like it here at TPU

If there's anything we can do to help, just ask

Just thought I'd check in as its been a little while... Apologies guys, long days and LSI HBA Raid Controllers took over the weekend, as well as the little one I think Free-DC is having issues, as I've not been able to pull off the stats from the site today... Bare with me and I'll try and get them all updated today

I hope everyone is doing well, and ok?

Ok indeed, and hope the same is true for you. Though it's finally getting properly cold; we just had what I think is our first sub-0F(-18C) low of the year.

 

[phill]

Now that will take some serious crunching power to warm that temp up!! Wow!! I wonder if things would actually work in that temp?? Or more so, for long.....

 

[stinger608]

Yeppers, it's coming! It was 12F out this morning here.

 

[HammerON]

In the last several weeks we have had temps ranging rom 20 F to -20 F. Warmed up today though to 35 F. Sucks as it makes our snow heavy and it might rain. But that is normal for where I live in Alaska. I used to open my sliding door in the winter and bench my i7 970 with two GTX 580's! Fun times

Im staying warm purely from CPU heat thanks to BOINC. It's nice to adjust the temperature via thread usage.

I did the same about 11 years ago when I had 4 to 5 i7 920 rigs crunching in my old apartment. They made nice heaters

I'm waiting for it to get cold enough to fire up the dual x5680+GTX690 rig. Hopefully it doesn't get to that point.

 

[phill]

It's just extremely windy and wet here today, nothing very exciting at all.. It's been colder last few days and over the weekend but otherwise it's just another day in the UK

I couldn't imagine what it would be like to be living in the snow or having to put chains on to drive places. Here, we get an inch of snow and the world stops!!

 

[HammerON]

Sadly the 3970X I bought turned out to have issues, so I was able to successfully return it (thank goodness). I instead went with the 3960X I also bought (and was selling). She is up and crunching along with the other 3960X.
Haven't been able to get any GPU work sadly though. I did a fresh install of Windows 10 on a new M.2 drive. We will see if I won't start getting some here or there.
