Message 1860491 - Posted: 9 Apr 2017, 5:59:17 UTC

So I thought I would share some images and specs on the new machine.

I haven't come up with a creative name for it as of yet. Suggestions are welcome, taking note that I am a Star Wars fan...!!

Specs:

Case - InWin 303 White
PSU - Corsair RM750
M/B - Gigabyte Aorus AX370-Gaming 5 X370 Chipset
Mem - HyperX Fury 2 x4gig - possibly another two sticks to come.
CPU - AMD Ryzen 1700x
SSD - Samsung EVO 250gig M.2
H/D - WD Blue 2TB
GPU - ASUS Strix 1050Ti 04G 4 gig
Cooler - Cooler Master 212
Fans - Corsair Ultra Quiet 120mm Red LED x 3 - I will probably add another fan at the bottom to fill in the spare opening.

This is red themed as you can see due to it being an AMD chip. The next machine will be in the same case but Blue themed as it will be an Intel system.

I am still thinking of adding a couple more SSD's to the case in a Raid array just for fun and to fill the inside up a little more.

nice setup... congrats!

it would be better to remove the lower fans and keep one on the right hand side instead of having it under the GPU card... you're pushing air directly into the GPU fans while its fans are pushing air out...

How did you manage to score that nifty Red anodized top to the Cooler Master 212 air cooler? I've looked everywhere and can't find any images of that color on ANY generation or iteration of the Hyper 212.

To me it looks like it's just reflecting the light from all those red LED's. ;-)

I was wondering that too, was thinking it was a painted D92, but the cover is a different shape, and I didn't see any version with that shaped cover.

. . :) Nice try but all them red LEDs are behind the anodised cooler top plate ... It does look pretty good though.

Yes, it is definitely not a stock Hyper 212. It doesn't have enough heat pipes protruding through the top. I only see two in the image. The Hyper 212 has four.

DING! DING! DING! And Wiggo wins the PRIZE!! Nice find! I looked on the CoolerMaster products page but I missed the red LED option. Should have recognized the black cover as the same design as the red in the image.

it would be better to remove the lower fans and keep one on the right hand side instead of having it under the GPU card... you're pushing air directly into the GPU fans while its fans are pushing air out...


Just so you know... The Corsair Fans with the logo facing up as they are in the case, suck air out. So the GPU fans are pushing the air towards the Corsair fans and they blow the air out the bottom of the case.

If they're exhaust fans then why the dust filters?

Choice really...

Had I chosen a different MB and layout then the fans would become intake, but seeing as the GPU is constantly working better to suck the heat out as efficiently as possible.

Might as well remove them and improve the air flow considerably. And save having to clean them out later.

Err... Unless there is something wrong, your GPU fans will be sucking air in towards themselves and over its own heat sinks & pipes, they shouldn't be moving air away from it. Looks nice btw :)

I had an extra slot in the machine so I decided to throw a spare 750TI into it.

So with any luck it will be pumping out extra WU's

Message 1864171 - Posted: 28 Apr 2017, 4:03:44 UTC

So another update....

I removed the 750TI out of the system and found a 960 and put that in instead.

The time difference now between crunching the same work units on the 1050TI and 960 is only about 30seconds by my reckoning.

The average credit now is around 19500

Not to shabby considering I have done no tuning to the config.

So if anyone wants to give me a config or such feel free.

Message 1864179 - Posted: 28 Apr 2017, 4:25:00 UTC - in response to Message 1864171.  

I figure the 960 and the 1050Ti are pretty close in compute units, so a single tuning parameter will likely work for both. I'm not sure if they have equal amounts of memory but I would go with this simple app_config.xml command line:

<cmdline>-sbs 512 -period_iterations_num 2 -tt 1500</cmdline>

If the system gets too laggy, then drop the -tt value down to 300 or something similar. If still too laggy, then increase -period_iterations to 5 or 10. If the first value works well without system lag, then try -period_iterations 1. If you are running only single task and the cards have at least 4GB of VRAM, try -SBS 1024. Also the best way to tune for the SBS buffer size is to look at your SoG task stderr.txt output and look at the tuning values that Raistmer prints out for tried tuning values in the output. Look for the size of the FftLength value that has the lowest total Sum time, Delta of 1 and highest N value. That is the value of the -SBS buffer size you should be using. Don't exceed the actual total amount of VRAM on each card.
