6.10.60 it is then :).

However I am going to pioneer having both BOINCs going at once so I get some 6.x.x productivity whilst NNT-ing the 7.0.23.

Ok it just replaces the existing version. Can't get any tasks anyway. Just 7.0.23 NNT.

Whoa.
From shortie straight to vlar storm.
I do wish they had some kind of "smarter" splitters that would shuffle tasks more.

Sounds like HT or app_info.xml is a bad idea in that scenario. Swings & roundabouts overall.

I'm still burning off my 7.0.23 tasks before I get with you lot on proper food...

Holey smoley......
Better turn the cooling fans on high before I go to Lori's for the evening.
Out of about 1500 MB GPU tasks cached on my top rig the Frozen 920, over 1000 are shorties now. It's gonna be a hard crunching night for the ol' beastie.

Well, I did get a ton of shorties/VHAR's, and all of them for my poor Q8200 CPU, which hates to do them. On the Q8200 CPU, a shortie becomes the longest running WU available, especially if you run four of them at the same time. If you run only one at a time on the CPU, it'll take 50 minutes or less. If you run 4 of those buggers, they can take 5 to six hours.

Odd.
I'm running the Lunatics applications.
My E8400 does 2 shorties at a time in about 40min. VLARs take about 3hrs 2 at a time. I wouldn't have thought 333MHz would make that much difference.

It's not about the Mhz, it's about how the Q8200 handles the memory sub system I think. It's only the VHARs that behaves like this. VLAR's and normal AR's are done in around 3 hours give or take 30 minutes, depending upon the AR's.

I'm not the only one here, who have seen this behaviour from the Q type CPU's, where they really struggles with VHAR's.

Agreed. I've seen this effect ever since I first got my dual E5320 octo-core - that predates the consumer Qs by about 9 months, but is very similar core2 technology.

It's specific to the VHAR tasks, but I've never seen it to anything like the degree that Sten is reporting. An increase from 30 minutes to 50 minutes (double that - those are the old-style tasks), maybe - with 8-way contention on the bus. But six or seven times the runtime? No way. You have some other problem there, or simply not enough memory.

My i5 2500K @ stock does a VHAR in 20mins and VLARs take no longer than 1hr 15mins, regular units take about 50mins. :)

Cheers.

Well I've just loaded the GPUs up with PrimeGrid while I'm waiting to burn off these 7.x.x CPU MBs & I got one eorld record prime unit that's been round the world 21 times, so I'll be busy elsewhere for a bit.

I thought mine was as well, but apparently it's not. According to Intel's Turbo Boost Technology Monitor, it runs at 3.40Ghz, not the stock 3.30GHz.

Yes you're right, it does run a 100MHz overclock with those settings, but once I get it in a HAF-X I'll turn that up by around 1GHz which should make an even bigger difference.

Cheers.

But then again with those settings that I have that is still considered as stock.

I continued to get failed requests until one of my 2 running tasks was about 3 minutes to go.
I tried [ipconfig/flushdns] and got 3 new tasks at the next request.
