About how effective is a 1700/x these days? It looks like they can be found for $100 or so on ebay...

Mine seem to do pretty well if I'm honest

Depending on the work unit, 16 threads taking about 130w to 180w seems about the norm for me when I've looked

I guess as long as some fairly decent RAM and motherboard used, they'll be an awesome CPU for the price.. Although, I do wonder if the 2700/2700x might be a better bet for the cash??

Picked up a 2700 for £130 and a 2700X for about £145 ish.... Might be better ??

hat · Feb 24, 2020

130-180w seems like a lot? I'd expect a 1700 to pull less than that...

phill · Feb 24, 2020

The two I have are 1700X's. However my 2700 managed to idle about the 45 to 50w. Cinebench load was about the 120w mark.. That's the full system and just with air cooling and a RX 480 in situ as well.. I don't think it did that badly at all

hat · Feb 24, 2020

Oh, so you meant 130-180w for the whole system? That's a little different... I was thinking just the CPU alone :laugh:

thebluebumblebee · Feb 24, 2020

My 1700 pulls 130 watts from the wall.

I sadly haven't got anything that will give me a CPU only wattage reading that I would think is accurate but I just tend to go from the wattage plug and think ah yes, it jumps from 60w to 180w for example.. That'll give me a rough enough estimate

Has anyone else had any issues with logging on to the WCG site today?? I've tried it on my main PC and it seems to throw back an error....

I've tried it from the work laptop and that seems to be ok.... Just seemed a little odd... And when I tried to view the stats page or my own page, I got this...

Just a thought

thebluebumblebee · Mar 9, 2020

Sorry, didn't see this until seven hours later, I'm not having a problem.

blobster21 · Mar 9, 2020

Me neither. it's been "sorted" now

phill · Mar 9, 2020

It seemed to work after clearing out the cache in Google Chrome... Not quite sure what was causing the problem but.....

thebluebumblebee · Mar 9, 2020

I'm dealing with a wonderful problem. ALL of my e-mail from TPU is being caught by my e-mail provider's spam filter. Just started happening about a week ago, and they have no idea why.

I bet it's all of my replies.....

Are there no projects for WCG related to the coronavirus? F@H apparently is fighting it, probably because the virus is made up of proteins, which is what F@H studies - the way proteins assemble themselves, or "fold".

phill · Mar 15, 2020

I've not seen any myself @hat in my list of ones I can possibly do... Wonder if it might take a whilt to filter down through if some have been released?? ......

ChristTheGreat · Mar 20, 2020

reinstalled BOINC on my 3600x, might do aswell on my 1700! Been a long time. I have also folding for Covid-19 right now. ! Go Baby!!

phill · Mar 25, 2020

Just tried running WCG on my 3900X for the first time... Ouch... Definitely NOT recommended with an air cooler!! :laugh:

93C after 1 minute of crunching with 1.35vcore set in the bios... Ummmmm... Time to have a bit of a tune I think!!

mstenholm · Mar 25, 2020

All default but RAM speed and timing, BIOS not up to date, 4.050 MHz, 66-68 C, Linux and the important part 480 mm rad placed outside the rig. I had a plan to update to 3950 let the 3900 slot in one of my x470s to replace a 2700x but then I would have to cap it at 65 W or something similar. I might do next winter. Now is not the time. What air cooler do you use @phill ?

phill · Mar 25, 2020

I'm just using a Noctua 14D cooler at the moment @mstenholm.. I've tried lowering the vcore and the core speeds to see if that had helped but it's not helped massively but down to about 78C under load and the fan going nuts...

The rest of the Ryzen hardware seems to be absolutely fine and all otherwise under the 60C apart from my 2700X, that seems to hover around the 66 - 68C temps under load.

I can't seem to resize the Ryzen Master software, it'll go larger but not smaller but then it still takes up over a screen wide :laugh:

but I'll grab some screen shots for the settings I am currently using

Just wanted to say hi to everyone.

Sorry its been a year since posting on the forums but it has been an insane year to say the least. I'm not going into detail but I think I'm finally on the track to normalcy once again.

Bow · Mar 30, 2020

I am really surprised no one has organized a challenge sine a lot of people are stuck at home.

Stuck at home, but not necessarily with additional time.

Finally decided to pull the trigger and join TPU's WCG team too. Same username here and there.

Fired up a server that's been decommissioned but not yet uninstalled. I'm normally pretty patient but I wanna see this ol' girl spool up already! :cry:
