Hello!

Yes of course, why not?

hello also.

I might add it should crunch very nicely.

hi i would be running my X2 3800 if it was not 110 inside. its RAC was about 220, with just seti.

hope that helps. you cam look at my computers.

Yes, my X2 3800+ is running very nicely with KWSN's optimized SSE2 app.

It runs a bit hot going from 50C at idle to 60C both cores crunching.

I don't have a good RAC to give you because I've shut it down during the last few days to conserve power here in California.

mine only runs at idle at about 36C and at full throttle it only gets to about 46C.

that 220 RAC was without an KWSN's app.

Hello! I am interested in upgrading to amd 64 athlon x2 3800+ and have a question to all Seti-Crunchers who already own one.

Do you use:
1.) Only one seti application (one WU, one Core is in use)?
2.) Two seti applications, each using one core for one WU?
3.) One application with one WU using both cores?

I don't know which configurations are possible. Which one is the fastest one? So it would be interesting to see what experiences you have already made!

Greetings!

Speaking of the x2 3800, there is a user at Rosetta who just upgraded from a Sempron 3400 to the x2 3800 on the original MB and is having an issue with cpu useage. Here's his dilemna If you think you can help. His username is "the Bad Penquin". I've had him sign up for seti so he could ask the experts here, but his first WU won't be done for 12 hours.

You can take a look at my Athlon X2 4200 overclocked to 2.54GHz. Assuming you're going to OC the 3800 to roughly the same clock, you should get very similar performance (since both have 512MB of cache per core). I average around 800 RAC with that machine.

You'll get best performance running an optimized Seti Enhanced cruncher on each cpu core (2 copies of the program running at the same time). Be sure to update your preferences on the site here to utilize at least two (2) cores.

@ mmciastro.........

I don't have a Rosetta account but I read the thread about the Penguins X2 problems. I have a suggestion you could post there for him. Go to task manager and right click each instance of Rosetta. Click "Set Affinity" and ensure that both cores ( core0 and core1 ) are selected for each instance of Rosetta.

Hope this helps.

will copy and post your idea.

thanks

Htrae, here's what he says:

VERY INTERESTING!!!!!

Originally, both wu's had affinity set to both cpu0 and cpu1.

BUT...

Whichever of the two wu's affinity was set to cpu0 gets about 90%, and cpu1 gets 10%!

Switched the affinity back and forth between the wu's, and cpu0 seems to always get the ~90%, and cpu1 always gets ~ 10%.

Don't know what this means, but Very Interesting!

Hello Tony,

I found something at the Mircosoft Knowledgebase. Don't know, if this applies to Bad Penguin's problem, but may be worth to have a look at it...

Computers that are running Windows XP Service Pack 2 and that are equipped with multiple processors that support processor power management features may experience decreased performance

Maybe this helps.

Andy

@ mmciastro......

Well, it was a shot in the dark. I know the Penguin said that he "didn't install" Cool & Quiet, but the Bios update for his motherboard should install the option for that power managment automatically into the bios. Maybe he needs to check his bios for some power management options. Also here's a link to some advice on Micro$oft hotfix's and performance issues.

Sorry to the OP for highjacking the thread.

Edit.....At least when I did my bios update C&Q was installed as an option in the bios as well as selecting single or dual core mode.

Thanks for all the answers!

@ jfosback
Your answer is very informative! Your PC usually needs 12.000-13.000 seconds per WU. Right now I am using a AMD64 3200+ Venice with optimized seti cruncher and it takes me 12.000-13.000 seconds per WU, too. So if I would upgrade and overclock (like you did) I could double my the numbers of crunched WUs per day!

The Problem is that I have got an old ABIT AV8 with 2x512 HyperX DDR-400 2-3-2-6-1T and I'm not really experienced in OC. I've always tried to create very quiet PC's and therefore I did not overclock them. My actual system gets unstable when putting FSB to 206 Mhz (resulting in 2060 Mhz instead of 2000 Mhz for the CPU). Now I'm running FSB 205. I think it is because of the fast RAM Timings but I do not want to set them to 2,5-3-3-8 or so becuase I have heard that fast Timings are very important for the seti Application. But perhaps I should try out?

Another Question: I actually use a Zalman 7000B Al-Cu, with 1800 rpm, so it is quiet. What coolers do you take for your OC?
