"So far I have noticed that the CPU and MB temps are up by about one to two degrees C. Since my system is overclocked I may experiment with backing down one or two steps before I leave to bring the temps back to where they were before."


I too have had the same experience.App must be working much harder than 2.4 as my temperature increased approximately 2c. Backed off a bit on the overclock and all is back to normal.

My QX6700 need now ~ 5 to 10 W more..
And the CPU is ~ 1 - 2 °C hotter.. and sometimes for short time (it depend at which WU-progress) 1 - 2 °C hotter additional.. (so complete 2 - 4 °C hotter)
OC to now stable..

So 5.10.20 should be fine, unless there is a bug in that version that I am unaware of...

installed the sse4.1 app on an x3350 @ 3.6. no problems with the oc, as others mentioned temps are a bit higher but nothing for me to worry about. The higher temps just mean that they're making better use of the cpu(s). installed the ssse3 for c2d on a new t7250, credit seems ridiculously high for this computer. Looks like it's working!

Just installed SSE3 on my 6 * Phenom Quad farm and have seen a power consumption increase of approx 30W total for the farm. No problems encountered with changing over the app. All seems to be working ok at this time. Will report back any RAC increase seen.

Unstalled the 32 bit ssse3 version on the 2 main Quaddies when I got home earlier today and they are crunching really well, with times down substantially. For the heck of it I also installed the app on the Dual core Laptop and will let it crunch for a while now & then - it currently has a queue of about 18 WU's at the moment, and I'm going to leave it run overnight while I'm here at work :)

Temps on the quads might have been a little higher, but it was hard to tell - they did not really seem to increase. The Dual core lappy on the other hand, is running at 68C, so a laptop cooler might be a good idea when I see one that blows air the right way for a Toshiba laptop.

I'll install it on Vixen tomorrow afternoon when I get out of bed and give it a little run there for a few hrs as well.

Done the same on my 2 Quads. Running fine for several hours now and, like others, the core temperatures are a couple of degrees centigrade higher

It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues

Oh and as far as I can tell I'm not exceeding My quota, yet. But they sure are suckin the WU's up, Like a vacuum cleaner.

Your quota is 400 WU/day/host... It looks like you have your settings to "always connected" and cache set to ~3 additional days if even set at all. Of course I'm often wrong in my analysis.

Your hosts will be able to crunch ~90 WUs/day each... So you will not meet your quota with your current settings... just steadily DL ~100 WU/day to keep ~300 WUs ready to crunch.

BTW... I've backed down Thurston OC to 3200 from 3375 MHz and watched my temps drop ~10C (59-52-55-57) room temp 28C. Also of note is that power draw has dropped from 256 to 200W, saving me $3.25/mo (25%) on electric bill for this host.

One of my Quads took a dive earlier. No reason or errors in the logs, it just stopped! It isn't overclocked and is on the same UPS and in the same room as the other 5 quads (which have not crashed) so cause unknown at this time, although the only change has been the install of the new ap this morning. None of my quads have crashed in over 3 weeks - coincidence? Maybe...

Oh, on a positive note, my RAC is increasing already, proving that the new ap is much more efficient. Great work guys!
