I'm getting around 170k ppd with this beast. Let's hope I keep getting p6904 units

Saw a couple of failed WUs in HFM last night...got this error message

CoreStatus = 8B (139)

Client-core communications error: ERROR 0x8B

Deleting current work unit & continuing...

which according to the fah wiki is "Triggered by the OS, probably due to overclocking/overheating or a memory failure". I'm 99% sure it's a memory problem, so I think I'll have to do ram testing this weekend. There were no restarts or anything either, just a few failed WUs.
 
When I see this thread title the original Starcraft pops into my head...

Dropped another 6904 at 94%

Starting to get frustrating. I will be testing the ram tomorrow when I get some time. I'm hoping it's just a bad stick or something.

Bummer. That's the stuff that would drive a man to drinking.
 
s**t, 179K. that's insane. sucks that you've been dropping WU so late

. That's a beast of a rig you got. I really hope I don't do the same. I got a measly 6041 folding away now. I expect to be done tomorrow at 7AM. 33 and a half to complete (on a Phenom II X4 955 @ 3.9GHz). 16h left to go.
 
Found a bad memory stick with memtest and will need to RMA it. In the mean time I've been reworking the overclock with 2 sticks of ram each. Not sure how dual channel vs triple channel effects folding performance...
 
Have the rig running at 3.6ghz in dual channel mode. It's about 100mhz faster o/c but I am getting about 10k ppd less on 2684 units, so triple channel vs dual channel definitely makes a difference. I'm running regular -bigadv until the RMA comes back...and getting about 100k ppd on the better units.
 
Finally got the RMA replacement. Seemed stable @ 3.6ghz in triple channel running Intel Burn Test in Windows, but it would not even boot in Linux.

I haven't had much time to mess with it lately, but hopefully I can get working in the next day or two.
 
P6904 just turned in for 471,000 points. I think this rig is finally stable

I had my voltages way too low to boot into Linux before. I was at 1.24 vcore fully stable in Windows running 2 instances of IBT 12 threads each. Yet I couldn't boot into Linux with these settings. I ended up at about 1.9 vcore to get Linux bigadv stable. I don't like the temps but it'll do.

Hopefully this is the last update in this thread

lol, thought that's what you meant. Good to hear you got it going and holy **** at that point value! Your PPD already doubled with that one turn in. What kind of 24hr average do you think you will end up with?
