@james888 , still interested in Avoton? ASRock 10% off sale at NE
4 core actually 5% off with a $20 MIR
8 core

I am but less so that there is some more performance data out there. I don't put trust in cpubenchmark.com but it would put this in c2750 in the same performance catagory as an i3 2100 when back then I was thinking it might performe closer to a low i5. Right now I am trying to find a good deal on a great folding gpu and being picky about it, and wondering if I can wait till january for the 960/960ti and see if those would suit my needs.

Damn, for some reason my 3770K was stuck at x11 even though boinc is running with max CPU at 100% (default option) and power options were set to Max performance It was working fine before.

Disabled SpeedStep for the time being and now the WU ETAs are back to normal. Should be posting 5K soon.

Good luck man. 26 hrs is a bit extreme for one wu.

Cheaper at Amazon, 8 core.

Performance looks decent per watt, but that's about it.

Performance looks decent per watt, but that's about it.

When this first came out I did some estimations of performance based on what benchmarks I could find. I was estimating ~4000 ppd which for that low of wattage would be exceptional so I wanted one to play with. They were/are too expensive too. Now that there has been more benchmarks it looks more like ~2250 ppd. For that low of wattage that is pretty good, but not as good as I was thinking. That isn't that far off from my celeron g1620 though. These are still guesstimates because the one guy who has done WCG work with a c2750 has ran for weeks but does not return any wu's.


But I just got myself a gtx 970 for gaming folding so I will be selling some 750ti's shortly.

If anyone is curious I got a zotac 970 amp extreme on a newegg open box sale for cheaper than any other 970. This model is has stock boost clocks of 1355mhz and is one of the most expensive 970's normally. I was hoping to get something cheaper but decided to snag the deal.

MadShot, check your PMs about the network switch you were talking about.

@t_ski no luck finding you a decent S775 board today--I can try again next week if you want?

 

[eidairaman1]

Back on the Crunching path. just been busy with the Sears Tech Position

 

[[Ion]]

The X5650 is apparently waiting in the mailbox...certainly a very good incentive to get this history essay done
That and I snagged another of the SFF HPs I like so much....now up to five once I get it set up. While individually their PPD isn't great, together they match the Quadsocket system, so that's cool.

Sigh. Newegg sent my 970 to the wrong address. I sometimes get my packages shipped to my old address that is over 100 miles away. Happens at Random. I don't know where they get that old address. I have talked to paypal and newegg both about it. Really annoying.

 

[[Ion]]

Bah that's awful

St_Petersburg is up and going on the new CPU:

As is Leipzig. Should be an ~8k PPD boost between the two

Well somewhere you should be able to delete that address from their systems.

My J1900 is doing around 1300-1400 PPD on Linux currently. So an 8-core Avoton would probably do somewhere around 2500-3000 PPD.

First of all, this is posted for a location well over 1000 miles from Los Angeles. Second, $2450 for a dual quad core lga1366 server! Didn't Ion just put together something like that for under $300. Then it says to ask for Vinny. Nothing against, Vinnies but it just sounds stereotypical. The sheer distance I am from this server makes me think it was a spam bot too.

I don't think Ion's had quite that much memory or drive space and it takes a bit of luck to get something that inexpensive.

Correct, my dual-LGA1366 quad has 12GB RAM (6x2GB) and a 160GB laptop drive
And I did get pretty lucky--PSU was very cheap + soldering, case was nearly free, Stinger gave me a good deal on the drive, and whatnot. But still, close to $2500 is insane.

Main rig down all am and half pm. Boo forgot to fire Boinc back up after last nights game session.

Yeah wtf. Just got mine for $150 with monitor and keyboard. Half the ram but I guess that doesn't really matter for our purposes. Sorry for the double post.

I was looking @ Avotons, too. Interesting that the J1900 is putting out 1400PPD, did you see how much that was pulling from the wall by chance?

Sure - thanks. I still haven't found a board I'd want for the price I want.

Unfortunately, I don't have a power meter.

Hell I put a dual Hex core 1366 together for less then $600.

Just thought I would let you guys know, I will be bringing my file server back to school with me in January that has a Sandy or Ivy Bridge pentium in it, and will use it to start crunching for TPU WCG again. Its not much, but i figured id use it a bit for something other then just sitting there when im not messing around with files.

I want to get a used quad core 1155 chip for it at some point.

 

[stinger608]

My numbers will be down a bit for a few days. I have to shut down one system for awhile while I configure that awesome Kreij #5 rig and get it ready to give to the daughter.
Once I get it configured and set up, the other rig will be fired back up and my numbers will actually be gaining in the long run.
She doesn't know it yet, but it will be crunching 24/7 as well.

Awesome!
Nothing like free electricity to make for some crunching goodness
