Have you got pie today?

I still don't know why my i7-950 is pumping out such shitty #'s. Maybe Windows 8 and 2GB of RAM are not getting along or something? Uses about 65% while 100% load. I do notice my HDD is active like crazy, is that normal?

That amount of ram is low and the HDD activity sounds excessive? My Win8 rig is using a 4GB and the HDD seems to be OK....

What kinds of times are you finishing wu's in. I was getting long run times and some errors on the 965BE rig w/Win8. Trimming out the projects that were giving me problems have seemed to bring the output up nicely

I am trying one thing at a time, I had it at 3.4 Ghz, I dropped it back down to 3.2 GHz where it was doing fine, however it did fine at 3.4 GHz for a while so I don't know.

...and yes the HDD noise is pretty often and loud, almost constant. The disk usage is about 100% when crunching. I'm thinking try W7 again, but W8 was fine for a while. I'm puzzled. :confused:

Sounds like you need 4GB+ RAM for that setup. Considering each WU generally needs 250MB of RAM and you have 8 threads going, that is 2GB alone just for the WUs. Heavy disk usage at idle almost always means you are paging to the HDD due to low RAM.

These are good for everyone to read:

Chicken Patty · Sep 24, 2012

it was totally fine with Windows 7, ran like that for months. I'll see when I have a chance and go back to Windows 7. That should do it. Thanks for the help guys, I'll keep you'll posted and let you know if the problem has been fixed. :toast:

Jstn7477 · Sep 24, 2012

True, could be Win8 compatibility problems as well, but to me 2GB seems quite restrictive for an 8 thread WCG rig. I try to have at least 512MB/thread on my machines when possible (which is doable for dual core DDR machines and 4/8 thread DDR2/DDR3 machines). Maybe you can get a cheap kit off of someone here if you are considering upgrading (Brandon's $25 4GB DDR3-1866 set seems like a steal).

CP, I'd definitely try and go w/ 4GB. I have 4GB in my i7 crunchers, and I'm seeing 75% memory usage occasionally. 2GB seems awfully tight for more than four threads

I have that 4gb kit on my FS thread that I could make you a deal on CP

Chicken Patty · Sep 24, 2012

What I find weird is that on W7 I never had an issue running 2GB. Unless its some recent WU's causing this change. Brandon, I'll get to you in a bit man. :toast:

That surprises me. I had 2GB in a C2D WCG rig and that was tight...now it's down to 1GB and its tortuous. At least RAM is a cheap upgrade :toast:

Yeah, I'm trying to work something out with Brandon right now.

Are you in our Top 20?

Or Almost There?

Should be top-15 easy :toast:

Chicken Patty · Sep 25, 2012

Yeah sounds about right. Can't wait till I get the FX. Then maybe top 10?

I'd say so, or at least close. Top-10 is taking ~15k PPD or a tad less, which I'd say should be doable with two i7s and a FX-8 :toast:
