[thestepster]

oh you beauty!

what u housing them in?

 

[Lorem-Ipsum]

PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tinytomlogan]

Corrr some one has spent some monies!

Why no CPU-Z shot

 

[hmmblah]

They are servers. Two Dells with 2 of these CPUs each in them. 48 threads of nothing for now. They will be used as VM hosts some time early next year. For now, they are "testbeds".

These are for work btw, I'm no Rockefeller

.

 

[thestepster]

test them with F@H

 

[hmmblah]

test them with F@H

Best way to burn them in!

Besides the CPUs here's some other specs:

Rackmount 2U

64GB RAM

4 x 300GB SAS 10k RPM RAID10

4 x Gb Nics

Redundant power supplies

 

[thestepster]

niceee what kinda numbers u expecting to get from that?

 

[riotcity76]

My guess would be 60k ppd each, on the good bigadv units.

I'll let you know.

Edit: It's 1% finished with a P6900. This is my first time running -bigadv so I have no idea what a good WU is. It says 46k PPD so far. My other server (just changed it to -bigadv today) with 14 cores folding a P2686 is at 41k PPD.

Yeah, 6900 is the best one. 46K ppd does seem a bit low to me..I expected at least 50k-60k. Is that server using all 24 cores or 14 like the other one?

Edit: actually that might be about right. Most ppd numbers I come across are with heavily overclocked Xeons (3.8+). So the 5650 @ stock getting 46k ppd is probably about normal.

WoW nice my fellow folder

any idea for how long you can have them running ?

All 24. Maybe the estimate will get better after it does a few more percent.

Through Christmas anyway, probably until end of January. We'll see.

See my edit. Second thoughts are that it's probably right on track. Too bad you can't overclock them

Yeah I wish. Ah well, an additional 90k PPD average for a month isn't too bad.

Edit: It's saying 52k PPD now @ 3%.

 

[FoodStampz]

Someone is actually going to pass Steve?

 

[kilobravo]

wauw,some high ppd on xeon`s.Found w3550 xeon,priced close to the i7-950,only 258£ incl delivery.

 

[hmmblah]

Before I left they were both sitting at 55k PPD each. We'll see if it's the same in the morning.
