Here's some CPU-Z captures...


Nice speeds - just a little over mine, but I'm getting there slowly. The memory timings are better, and thats next for me - see if I can tighten them a little more.

[edit] Sorry, I can't show you the matter/anti-matter parameters, you'll have to figure those out for yourself... Be careful, the wrong mixture and poof!, you cease to exist. [/edit]


Yeah I think my antimatter injectors are a little sticky, and the dilithium crystal might need a slight alignment, but overall I'm heading for warp 8.3. Not quite the warp 9 I was after, but close enough. Maybe I need a Phased Quaddy to get that far lol


Yep......even the Penny needs an oil change once in a while........
The anti-matter injectors get a little sticky........
And the bios starts thinking that it knows all...........LOL.

If you want a phased quaddy, check out this one. It's not mine, but I wish it was. IIRC, he is using a triple cascade for -100C. Now that's COOL.

Nah thats the new AI code in the WhalePort code. It does the calcs right, and fast, but then starts communicating with all your other devices fia your LAN, Bluetooth, wireless and even via the mains. Before you know it the toaster will throw toast at you, making you fall backwards into the open freezer, and the door will snap shut locking you in forever.....

Oh and watch out for the front loading washer - it has a taste for Kitties now! It was after the puppies, but they are not interested in the mystery of the washers inside - they just pee on the corner and wander off to chew on your new shoes...

I still like TECs, On PC2 and Its HOT(HOTTT!!!) Q6600 B3 cpu, I might eventually get a CoolIT Freezone Elite, But Hey a Hot cpu may need a Cold bit O water(Ice Cold in this case maybe). Although for the moment It would be the same heatsink as PC1 is getting on Tuesday as that's the best I can do for the moment.

Just be glad I don't have a QX9770, a P5E3, 4GB DDR3 ram, m998 case(nice) and the Freezone Elite, One review had the 9770 going at 4.5GHz and that was at about 49-51C, that would give the Frozen Penny a real run for It's money and possibly liquefy that Frozen Penny too, If It had the code that is. ;) It's an idea though, But It's not on My immediate radar as I've got too many things to do and for the next few years 3 will have to do. :D

Remember back before your trip to Sydney to get the Thermalrite? We exchanged a few messages about memory...I went with BALLISTIX DDR2-1066 about a month ago. First set got fried along with the GA-P35-DS3L. (More details back about 5 days ago in this thread.) Yessir, it was the WU from ehll that took them both out and dern near killed ol' Thurston.

But his cerebral cortex survived. "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology", they said. "We have the capability to build the world's first bionic whale. Thurston will be that whale. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster." The rest is history being documented in this thread ;-)

Sorry, I'm still hungover from quenching my thurst[on] during the all night coding session and 2 hours sleep, tend to ramble on and fantasize a bit when I'm hungover and delirious.

Anyway, the memory is running "stock" with VDIMM set at 2.2V... Mind you with this memory "stock" is overclocked, so they say. Works out with perfect 3.0 multiplier at this bus speed.

Cheers,

Yeah I read the posts about the failure. I was thinking I may have fried the old Dual core yesterday when it kept rebooting every 5 to 20 mins. It recovered OK when it got work back and ran for a few hrs with no problems... Odd though - I have a CPU that fails under NO load, not under load?!?!?! (Seriously though, I think it was Boinc issue as stopping it stopped the crashes)

Sorry, I'm still hungover from quenching my thurst[on] during the all night coding session and 2 hours sleep, tend to ramble on and fantasize a bit when I'm hungover and delirious.


I hope the codeing was something good, like maybe Whaleport V0.3 that your going to email to me right now... Nah I didnt think so eithor, but you cant blame me for trying (And my Mrs says I'm very trying!)

As for surviving on 2hrs sleep - Yeah I know the feeling.It's 4:13am here now and I'm surviving on Red Bull until I go home at 7am. At least it's quiet at work tonight.


Anyway, the memory is running "stock" with VDIMM set at 2.2V... Mind you with this memory "stock" is overclocked, so they say. Works out with perfect 3.0 multiplier at this bus speed.


My Geil 800 ram voltage is supposed to be 1.8V, but on both PC's I had to bump it to 1.9V as soon as I went above about 2.4Ghz, otherwise I got random crashes. I wish I had gone the DDR2 1066 rather than 800, but $ was a big factor at the time. My timings are 5, 6, 6, 16 and should be 5, 5, 5, 15 at 400, but even at stock speed they wont run at 5, 5, 5, 15 - a reboot returns it to 5, 6, 6, 16 - thats a job for Friday when I get out of bed

Core volt is set to 1.335, but sits at 1.28 under load, again, much lower and they randomly crash. I initially thought reboots on the media PC were because of the overclocking, but then I realised that we were getting power fluctuations caused by something outside the house - the UPS on my main PC was cutting in and keeping it running, but the media PC would reboot as it has no UPS at all. I complained to the power company and I think it's been fixed now - well at least no reboots for 4 days so far :)

Ya, it was good alright... good for me!
Believe me when I say, "You don't want WhalePort V0.3". I'm building especially for Mark to run trials on Frozen Penny over the weekend. Should help Thurston catch up just a bit, if you know what I mean ;-)

Codename: "Silent Hairball". Looks like it's running just fine.... but under cover its regurgitating the same WUs over and over again in disguise. I wonder if the kitties will recognize the symptoms of Frozen Penny coughing up a hairball?

Latest update from the Frozen Penny (data collected at 17:55:21 UTC today):


Direct Link

Notes:
This was SSSE3 code, not SSE4 as have been the earlier tests of finger-lick'n Chicken.

The result at 0.4 - 0.5 is AMAZING (63% faster than Crunch3r SSSE3) but represents only a single WU. It is way below the lowest time posted by any other app in the AR band.

Overall, the best set of results so far - this SSSE3 beats the Whaleports and the previously tested SSE4 Apps.

Keep winding the wick up, guys. Looks like the finger-lick'n may be only just starting.

Hi Fred , I think that WU is some kind of anomaly... though I could of course be wrong.

I tend to agree (pending further data). What I find most interesting is that your SSSE3 port is improving on your earlier SSE4. Wherever your eye-of-newt is coming from it is obviously powerful magic; keep stirring the pot, Jason.

I can't form words.... gotta pick my jaw up off the floor!!!!!

Mighty, mighty, mighty nice!!!!

I just did a quickscan through Pennys results and didn't see anything in that AR bin with CPU time ~1250, though I did see a couple that exited with error that requested credit with similar CPU times. Of course I didn't look at all 1400 WUs either :-(

I like the sound of Orca as a name for JD's App, Just an idea.



Yep, Orca sounds nice, and they might be prettier to look at, but I am of the more intelligent Humpback species of whales. Hunted to the brink of extinction, now on the comeback trail.

In seriousness, AK_WhalePort will not see public release, but is seeing service as a 'testbench' for some of my new ideas. AK_WhalePort is also the vehicle I'm employing to slap the kitties silly in about a weeks time and takedown the Skulltrail.

Cheers,

Guess I need a better picture of my tail as an avatar, or maybe one of me breeching and waving for the camera. Sheesh... Orca couldn't find krill in a bathtub.

Ha Orca finds krill in the bellies of the penguins it eats;)

Host = Thurston: Q6600

Thurston is back on track after yesterdays sidestep, Currently #35 in the Top Hosts list. ~8 hours earlier than predicted, YeeHaw! Tomorrows targeted position is #30 and RAC 5400.

Benchmarks are scheduled on one core this evening with estimated runtime of 2 hours.

Yesterday I cancelled 2 WUs where my wingmen was running Boinc 4.45 and were under reporting.

Up (or is that down?) to Position 34 now - looking great.

Edit: Oh, better keep an eye on This WU - it should be a nice comparison once crunched. A 3.2GHz Q6600 using the WhalePort V2 (or higher I hope) Vs a 3.1GHz Q6600 in a uber-sexy case owned by a sophisticated, handsome, and extremely bright person... Oh wait, no, my bad, it's actually MY PC :)
