I'm switching teams.

Its a sweet setup, those Supermicro boards seem hard to come by in this country, and the price of those Opterons is eye watering. Memory also seems to have shot up in price recently as well, and that 1600 cas 8 Crucial Ballistix memory, that other folk are using, seems to be discontinued.

For the points you're generating 700W seems pretty low, hell it blows an SR2 system out of the water....

The only system it competes with in terms of PPD/Watt I know of is a pair of E5-2687W CPUs.

Dude, if I had any funds available, I would certainly consider making you an offer. However I'm very attached to my testicals and my wife would have them on a spike...

Its great for the team, and boy do those points rack up quick...
 
Any more talking of sales out side of the FS&W forum and Ill be handing out temporary bans.

Rules are there to keep you safe and I dont care what the reasons are for breaking them.
 
PM sales = instant ban.

You do not have privilages to sell here yet. Any trading talk has to be done in the FS&W forums which you do not have access to yet.

So just take it on the chin and please do not mention it again in the open forums.
 
wow I am not used to these types of restrictions. I also haven't paid any attention to my post count. In most forums I have a few hundred or a few thousand.

This topic was and is meant for you guys to get to see the performance of a quad-socket system and ask questions if you ever intend on building one of your own.

At the moment this is the way to go. Especially since the WUs right now are pretty good. Yesterday the 824,703 points the folding farm produced nearly doubled the entire teams production.

I didn't expect such a massive impact. I used to fold for another team, and when I left you couldn't even tell that there is a points difference. With a little luck I think there could be another 820.000 Points coming today ;)

We have 0 problems because everything is strict. It works very well and anyone with access sticks to the rules or they loose the privilage.

Its complicated but also very simple.

Absolutely incredible! I have a dual socket Intel server ticking along, but gets only a small fraction of the PPD. It's a 24 thread machine, but cannot be overclocked.

You can increase the PPD if you switch to Ubuntu Linux. Preferably 10.10 to maximize the CPU performance, if you haven't done so already.

Additionally you could look into BFS and TheKraken. This boosts the performance of dual socket Intel builds by a bit in Linux.

Unfortunately I have to keep it on Windows. It's a failover server. January 2012 it was getting 250k PPD, but after the point adjustments Stanford made awhile back it's more like 50k PPD.
 
This adjustment is Windows only though. The Intel-difference isn't that big though. On AMD the switch of OSs makes just the biggest difference. Unreal if you don't see it for yourself...
 
Is there a facility in the Linux client to download the next wu before the current ones completes? So that you can still be folding while uploading your completed work? I think this facility exists in the W7 client, but I'm only using the v6 console client atm.

You do not want to down load your next WU early before completing and sending your existing WU. QRB is cacluated from send to receive......

That makes sense. Didn't occur to me how good your upstream internet needs to be as well for these big wu's - mine upload is pitiful.
 
wow. Pretty cool, my folding farm broke the 550.000 PPD mark this week. That's the first time since I had it to see that happen. That is one major score!!
