The new GTX 1660 Super cards may be the new bang for the buck leader. No difference in core count between the old 1660 and the new Super, but the Super gets the same amount of memory but GDDR6 instead of GDDR5 memory. That should speed up the card for both gaming and crunching. Seti@Home classic workunits:20,676 CPU time:74,226 hours ![]() ![]() A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association) |

Whichever card it's going to be it's not for doing calculations here or at any other project. I have now got four Android devices doing that, the new system is going to be my gaming rig. |

https://videocardz.com/82654/amd-announces-ryzen-threadripper-3960x-3970x-and-ryzen-9-3950x I'm sure once the review sites get their hands on motherboards and cpus, the crunching performance will be phenomenal. Look for reviews at AnandTech and Phoronix for scientific application benchmark performance. Still have a while for that to happen though. Maybe in December?

3rd party Bench marking: Still have a while for that to happen though. Maybe in December? Maybe. I think I read STH say their benchmarks being as through as they are, take 3 or more days. https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd/ryzen-9-3950x-release-date I am seeing posts that say that 2 Threadrippers(24 core and 32 core), the 3950x and one low end APU (2 cores, 4 threads, unlocked) will go on sale November 25, 2019.

If you disable core performance boost, your CPU will operate only on its base clock and won't boost. You will loose performance, but its package power consumption will be close to the advertised TDP value. Thank you for the reminder. My AMD 2700 has been running without turbo-boost but I also hadn't examined the CPU voltage either. And for the last two weeks it has been "quitting" after maybe a week. I would notice it powered up but completely unresponsive with cold gpus. I just looked in the bios and it was reporting 0.9xxxx volts. So I said, lots of head room and added a +0.5 volt offset. But when I look at the overclocking articles it seems like 1.4 volts is around the cpu maximum? So what voltage would you shoot for? tom@MoonShot3:~$ sudo modprobe asus-wmi-sensors tom@MoonShot3:~$ sensors asuswmisensors-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter CPU Core Voltage: +1.31 V CPU SOC Voltage: +1.13 V DRAM Voltage: +1.35 V VDDP Voltage: +0.74 V 1.8V PLL Voltage: +1.85 V +12V Voltage: +11.94 V +5V Voltage: +4.99 V 3VSB Voltage: +3.36 V VBAT Voltage: +3.23 V AVCC3 Voltage: +3.36 V SB 1.05V Voltage: +1.07 V CPU Core Voltage: +1.33 V CPU SOC Voltage: +1.13 V DRAM Voltage: +1.36 V CPU Fan: 866 RPM Chassis Fan 1: 3708 RPM Chassis Fan 2: 0 RPM Chassis Fan 3: 0 RPM HAMP Fan: 0 RPM Water Pump: 0 RPM CPU OPT: 0 RPM Water Flow: 0 RPM AIO Pump: 1408 RPM CPU Temperature: +52.0°C CPU Socket Temperature: +38.0°C Motherboard Temperature: +29.0°C Chipset Temperature: +42.0°C Tsensor 1 Temperature: +216.0°C CPU VRM Temperature: +44.0°C Water In: +216.0°C Water Out: +216.0°C CPU VRM Output Current: +55.00 A k10temp-pci-00c3 Adapter: PCI adapter temp1: +52.8°C (high = +70.0°C) asus-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter cpu_fan: 0 RPM tom@MoonShot3:~$ ^C tom@MoonShot3:~$ Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

Adding 500mV is total overkill and not necessary unless you want to make a space heater. I can just use the default BIOS setting for 4.025Ghz on the 40.25 multiplier for my 2700X hosts. The VID lookup table in the cpu and the BIOS sets the Vcore automatically to 1.35V more or less in the BIOS. With a LLC Auto setting in the BIOS, that droops down to 1.32-1.33V under BOINC load. The 1.017V I mentioned in my previous post was with regard to my 3900X not the 2700X. You don't mention what your target cpu clock is going to be. If you want to run at the stock non-turbo base clock speed of 3.7Ghz for the 2700X, then I would either set the Vcore manually to around 1.25V or use the Offset function with a negative sign and put in 0.10V for the offset to knock 100mV off the base VID for that clock frequency. You will just have to experiment. All silicon is different and you may have won the 'silicon lottery' . . . . . or not. Just pick a voltage that boots and then load the cpu with Prime95 and see if it holds up for a half hour. If it starts dropping threads, then reboot and add some more Vcore in the BIOS or drop the clock frequency for better stability.

I just looked in the bios and it was reporting 0.9xxxx volts. Was that at 3.7Ghz base clock but unloaded? The cpu will drop to that voltage if you have Cool 'n Quiet enabled or called PSS Support in the C7H BIOS and with C-states enabled. It won't be that voltage when under BOINC load. If your sensors report is for the 3.7Ghz base clock and BOINC loaded, then the 1.31V you show is what I would expect for that clock frequency under load. If you are still "black screening" that indicates not enough Vcore for the sustained cpu load and/or you are letting the voltage droop too far from the 1.31V and need to add in some LLC to keep it closer to the 1.31V. I think I am running either LLC3 or maybe LLC4 load line calibration in the BIOS for the 2700X hosts. I also use the higher LLC settings for the memory and bump the current delivery for both cpu and memory to 120%. It should be relatively easy to arrive at a stable system for just base clock. I have my systems run for over 2 weeks straight before rebooting them for an update.

I just looked in the bios and it was reporting 0.9xxxx volts. That voltage was in the bios during boot. I posted the loaded voltage later. I am going to have to go take a look at my bios settings. I am pretty sure "everything" is set to stock except ram voltage at 1.35 with the 3200 memory. I disabled the turbo so the 2700 runs right up there to just below 3.2Ghz which I believe is the stock maximum. It is entirely possible that I can run "auto" with LLC3 and be done with it. Since my goal is stable, non-turbo processing at the lowest cost I can manage I will be happy if that works. I guess I would have to download a copy of Prime95.... its to late/early to do that right now. Thank you for the advice and reminders Keith. Tom A proud member of the OFA (Old Farts Association). |

It is now running maybe 4C cooler than it was with the higher offset. OK, I mistook you had a 2700X and not a 2700. Yes, the base clock for that cpu is 3.2Ghz. That is an awfully low Vcore. You only put in a 10mV offset and it appears from your previous sensor output and this recent one, you applied it with a negative offset. I would have put in a 100mV offset or whatever it takes to arrive at 1.2V under load. If it runs P95 without dumping threads, then all is good I guess. I would have expected to need about 1.2V for 3.2Ghz. If it is stable at that 1.1 voltage, then you get lower temps and lower power consumption.

Just booted with 0.01 voltage offset and LLC3 (that was already applied). So apparently LLC3 + auto on the voltage wasn't enough to keep it from crashing. That low core clock indicates you are not giving the cpu enough voltage to run at its 3.2Ghz base clock. The cpu is downclocking to the 1.3Ghz range which probably aligns with the 1.09V sensor output in the VID table for that clock.

[quote] I would have put in a 100mV offset or whatever it takes to arrive at 1.2V under load.{/quote] It needs to have its execute permission set as usual for any downloaded linux executable. Just navigate to the Prime95 folder and open a Terminal session, then run ./mprime and choose 15 for the stress test menu. Then either accept the default blend Torture Test option or choose alternate stress levels. I think that Options 15 >> 10 threads out of 16 for the 2700 are similar to the normal BOINC workload, then >> Option 11 small FFT's with a bound of 8K and 24K best approximates what the Seti tasks look like to the cpu. I also add in 2000MB of memory per thread to load the memory subsystem. Then finally I run each prime for 2 minutes and then rotate to the next prime. Run for at least 30 minutes or 1 hour and if you still have all of the thread count you specified running without dropping out, you are golden at that clock speed and voltage for cpu.
