8 cores. When this WU completes I'm going to try 7 cores.

I started this morning with 7, but did not like the 87% CPU usage. I'm now running 8 with the vm set to below normal and the GPU's set to normal. So far the VM is using 95% of the CPU with no hit to the GPU's. Get a little lag now and then, but i know i'm using every avail cpu cycle. This rig just folds with no surfing taking place, so as long as it stable.... :eek:

The problem of optimizing number of cores with respect to GPU folding is that gathering data takes loooong time. It´s easy to get a statistic good material on the 353´s, but when each data point is 2½ day apart...

That's a good reason to have 3 -bigadv rigs!

Bucks 7 core 87% CPU usages puts a damper on that idea.

87 % does not look nice but 7 out of 8 is 87.5 %. I doubt that back ground tasks (GPU folding, Linux / Windows) takes up more then 0.5 % in average. That said I did read that some people found that 7 is as good as 8. For a PC used for more then just surfing/folding, yes that could make sense. I will go for the 8 core when I get my parts (for ONE rig :cry:

, wife would :nutkick:

me when she finds out I ordered it, so 3 is for the time being just a dream)

I noticed that. My chances for a first finnish @ 1 M is not good. :slap:

No, so far I've only used the [GUIDE] VMWare 3.0 (8 Core Folding w/ -bigadv) -UPDATED which is a recreation of EVGA Forums (Linuxrouter).

I'm about 8 hours from completing my 2nd -bigadv WU. This is my current TPF ...

I found the following Notfred links...

Switched to Notfred's VMware Folding Client

That is a very good TPF

What are your OC settings? I just got done switching CPU's so I am going to crank it to 4.0Ghz and see what TPF is.

El Fiendo · Jan 24, 2010

My tpf @ 4.01 GHz is ~34:03-34:34. I usually average a 25k PPD with it. I'm not so certain this thing is actually 100% stable though, so a slower overclock may turn out to be more beneficial than 4.0GHz.

it is going to be hard for me to repeat that production though. i still cant keep the system stable for long.

It is only 3600MHz. Maybe the 'good TPF' has to do with the fact that it is a Core i7 965 XE. I can go higher when I get my Corsair DOMINATOR GT, 6GB, 2000MHz, 7-8-7-20 back from RMA.

I like to use this calculator to look for my best overclock. First set your processor.

You just have to nurse it 2 more days. Set to alarm clock to every two hours and take some days of from work. No, you could ease in to the 1 million with just one off the 280's running. See you in the club in three days time.

Ahh, new to me. No problems with the visual output at all?

None that I see. the second output looks a touch blurry but I am 99% sure that is due to the VGA connection opposed to DVI.

Very nice indeed and yes an extreme chip would make a difference

No! Ok, so for a period of time I couldn't find their server. :banghead:

Right now all is ok.

theonedub · Feb 4, 2010

Yup its all good now, thought it was just a server issue (503). Thanks for the responses!

Not here, I can't catch any -bigadv WUs ATM cause I don't have client v 6.29 loaded so I will have to wait for this 1920 pointer to finish and then load VMWare image v 1.1

El Fiendo · Feb 7, 2010

Weird. All of my GPU clients have a WU in queue to be uploaded. Or at least 6 of them do.

With V1.1 I can connect to the servers, but I cannot get any work.
