    Anandtech vs Tom's Hardware Folding@Home Coronavirus Race thread

    I had a WU stuck at 99%, so I decided to restart the client, which probably crashed my setup. Unfortunately for me that rig's in a lab, and I don't have any physical access to it due to this lockdown shebang :/

    How How'd you guys keep getting GPU WUs? My GPU has been idle for the longest time :/ The CPUs on the other hand are happily cranking away, but their return is honestly rather meh.

    I think one of my recent WUs also encountered this error, and my setup is nowhere near your 128 threads. Those scores though, good lord!

    Jumping in with a 36 core server and a Titan XP. Do I have to specify any work unit types in control?

    What controls Turbo Core in Xeons?

    My BIOS shell doesn't have the bcfg command for some reason. I should probably try again with another shell, although I'm tempted to put it back to stock again though. I'm fine with 8 cores running, and can happily switch to 18 when I need the extra cores. Besides, my 2 chips don't seem to be...

    @Dufus @Welsper Made some progress. I was able to get my setup to POST with the modified BIOS, and your EFI scripts. Both are free from error messages at the time of installation. The last time I tried, the system wouldn't even POST. I addressed this by only deleting the Haswell mCodes...

    I don't know about the 980s man. Apart from the fact that shipping ain't free, $225 does seem a little steep for GPUs that have been crunching non-stop. There's also the fact that a new 6GB 1060 is roughly around the same price, offering similar performance while costing less power.

    This exploit is only known to work for Haswell CPUs. It should work regardless of the motherboard you use, but the steps you take to get there may differ from those listed here.

    Things aren't looking too good on my end. I've tried flashing the edited BIOS (using the UBU toolkit) on my SM DP board, but the system had trouble booting up. I ended up spending a few hours restoring the system to its original state. Not sure if it's because I deleted an extra file...

    Using MMTool to remove uCodes will not work if it's an AMI Aptio V bios. You have to do it manually using UEFITool. EDIT: MMTool cannot add in new bios modules, and it may have some problems with other bios modules.

    After digging through the ucode in my bios, I've found two locations where the ucode is stored. I did this by looking up the hex values of the ucode in UEFITool. According to the site, you're only supposed to mess with one ucode, if there are two present. Can anyone confirm this?

    Still trying to find my feet. I'm on a C612 chipset, which happens to be running on AMI Aptio V, so no easy UBU edit for me. Also, because my BIOS lacks MCE, I have to resort to MSR programming, which I have absolutely no knowledge about. Could any kind soul explain what's going on in this...

    You do mention the possible use of newer uCodes, but this exploit requires the removal of uCodes from the BIOS. Care to elaborate a bit more here? Does this mean a CPU running on a clean BIOS can have a uCode loaded on from Windows? If so, does this also mean, that every time I power cycle the...

    ThrottleStop readings indicate it's not due to power limits. I'm averaging 86W out of 120W with 8 cores fully loaded.

    I'd like in on all of this too. I have a pair of E5-2686v3 Xeons (which are lower binned 2699s), and I've been struggling to understand why I am unable to hit the designated boost bins, despite some pretty hefty cooling. 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/15 For instance, documentation...

    Wow that's plenty of space heaters you have there... That's a really good trade to be honest. But, I think I got a better deal when I paid for mine. Wanna guess how much I paid for one of my 18 core Xeons?

    Newegg has these for $600 US, so the answer is no. There used to be a period of time where you could find 2nd hand chips from workstations though. That was before everyone started to hop onto the Xeon train. They do use the same chip as the i7-5930k though. Although, I do believe the Xeon chips...

    Before settling for my dual Xeon setup, I was contemplating on purchasing an E5-1650v3 instead. Overclocking that sucker to 4 GHz on air appears to be rather easy.

    Medium/High Core Count It's Intel's way of classifying the chips.

    I don't need another system...I don't need another system...I don't need another system...

    Generally, I'd try to look for something with a minimum boost clock of 3 GHz (when fully loaded of course). That way, you can run a VM gaming station ^^. Of course, not many MCC/HCC chips with boost clocks this high exist, so your choices are limited.
  34. I

    I don't need another system...I don't need another system...I don't need another system...

    Boost bins for this particular chip: 5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/5/6/7/8/10/10 So you're looking at 2.5 GHz base, provided you're not running AVX code.

    Hmmmm, I hadn't noticed that. The picture from the official SuperMicro site only has one heatsink. Mine has only one too, so I guess this partly explains the difference in temperature.

    I've stopped folding recently, as running games requires higher clocks, which isn't possible with fully loaded cores. I have noticed the lack of 0xa7 WUs though. 0xa4s aren't worth the heat and power, so it's not a huge loss for me. Off-topic, I'm running on a X10DRL-i, which has temperature...

    Help with F@H Client

    I always seem to receive at least one 0xa7 work unit at any given time, and it usually returns around 200k PPD with 32 threads assigned to it. 0xa4 work units are something else though, because the reutrns are a paltry 80k PPD if I'm lucky.

    Hmm I'll give this thing a try. 3 GHz for all cores sounds pretty darn nifty. Mine tops out at 2.3 GHz with all 18 cores active. I guess you really pay for going one step up from the E5-268x - 269x series. Can't really complain though, I paid only $1000 SGD for both chips ^^. I must explain...

I doubt it's my PSU, because it's...
