Now that I have new my 4P rig up and running, it is time to sell my old 4P rig. I wish I could afford to keep both of them, but I cant. You cannot overclock the Tyan motherboard, but it is very stable. I have not had any problems with this rig at all. With the 212+ HSFs, my temps are usually...
I ran the "sudo apt-get install g++" and then the rest of the TPC install procedure. At first, I thought it was going to work, but now I get the following error when I run "sudo tpc -temp".
If I try to re-make TPC, I get the following error.
I am currently folding another 8102 (33% complete). Following info is from HFM.net.
TPF = 11m 55s
Credit = 348,157
PPD = 420,710
This is on the rig in my sig, 4x 6168 @ 1.9 GHz, Tyan S8812 mobo.
I'm running v6.34 in a Linux VM, but I have not received any A4 core projects within the last 10 wu's. May have to try v7, and see if I start getting any A4's. 10% bonus would be nice.
Yes, there is a huge difference between the 8101 and 690x wu's. Hard to accept the drop in PPD sometimes, but you just have to fold what they send you.
Thanks again Tear. :)
I flashed the memory 1 cpu at a time without any problems. I ran Memtest86+ for about 2 hours without any problems. The server is now back up and running again, with the memory at 7-7-7-21-1T.
I tried to "dump" the SPD settings, but I cannot seem to get it to work.
The "i2c-0" file does exist in the "dev" directory. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
I've been re-reading your posts about flashing the memory, and it does not sound that difficult. It always makes me nervous to do something like that though. Worried that I will mess something up.
I was initially running 16GB of G Skill DDR3-1600, CL9-9-9-24-1T memory, and I was getting a frame time of 16min 14sec on the 6903 wu.
I replaced the memory with 32GB of G Skill DDR-1333, CL7-7-7-21-1T memory; however, TPC is saying that the memory is running at 9-9-9-24-1T. I am now getting...
FYI, I re-applied the AS5 to CPU0 and it seems to have helped a lot. All 4 cpu temps are in the 48-53C range for the 6903 WU, and the temps are in the 50-55C range for the 8101 WU that it just downloaded.
Even with all the reboots and frame time problems I had with the 6903 WU, I still got...
I will wait on trying the eeprog and d3sak procedures for now, but I will save the links for possible future use. Next time I reboot the server, I'm going to install the CL7 memory. I also want to do something about the CPU0 temp (60C). I may try installing the Hyper 212+ heatsinks...
How big of a difference does the memory speed affect PPD? I also have some G Skill F3-10666CL7Q-8GBXH, DDR-1333, PC3-10666, 4x 2GB, CL7-7-7-21 1.5V. I bought this memory along with the Hyper 212+ heatsinks before I bought this setup.
THANK YOU TEAR !!!!
You're assistance and persistence has paid off big. I have now completed 3 frames with the fans at 100%, and my frame time has dropped from 25 min to 16 min 12 sec.
I modded a molex to 3-pin fan adapter, so that I could connect the 4-pin cpu fan adapter. It made a HUGE difference. The fan was much, much louder. So I went ahead and modded 3 more, and I now have all 4 cpu fans running at 100%. The CPU temps are 60, 51, 52, 48, and "sudo tpc -htc" says...
I agree that CPU0 is still hitting the thermal threshold, and CPU1 is warmer than I would like.
I don't have a molex to 4-pin fan adapter. I may have to pick up a few of those. I actually have 4x hyper 212+ heatsinks. I bought them before I bought this setup. I don't have the parts to mod...
I removed all 4 heatsinks and the TIM did not look good. Small dot slightly smaller than a dime. So I cleaned it all, and re-applied the TIM. I then rapidly monitored the CPU temps.
Node 0/1 - varies between 65 - 69
Node 2/3 - varies between 57 - 61
Node 4/5 - varies between 61 - 65
Node 6/7...
That may be the problem. I got the following - true, false, true, false, true, false, true, false
Does that mean that all 4 cpu's are overheating at some point? Or just 1 or 2 cpu's overheating multiple times?
Also, I've never used such large cpu's before. Maybe I didn't put enough AS5...
Thanks for the replies everyone.
TOP shows thekraken-fahco, xorg, top, irqbalance, events/9, gnome-terminal, init, kthreadd, and then a bunch of watchdog, migration, ksoftirqd. I'm not running anything besides FAH on the server on purpose.
Using TPC, my CPU temps are between 57-67.
All nodes...
TOP shows theKraken-FahCo at roughly 4800% cpu
LSCPU shows 48 cpus, 4 sockets, 12 cores per cpu, 1.9GHz, 64-bit
I don't know how to make a screenshot in Ubuntu, or I would post one.
I have flags set: big, no advmethods, smp, bigadv, verbosity 9
I got my new 4p server up and running this morning. Here are the parts that I have.
Tyan S8812 mobo
4x 6168 12-core 1.9 GHz cpu's
4x Dynatron A6 heatsinks/fans
16x G Skill DDR3-1600 CL9 1GB memory (16GB total)
WD 80GB SATA hard drive
Turiq 1000w psu
I installed...
aiya is right. The layout of the 2 mobos is the exact same, except for the 8 (E) vs 16 (Deluxe) phase power and the NB to SB heat pipe connection on the deluxe.
The Q9650 has a 9.0x multiplier, so it is possible to hit FSB speeds of over 450MHz (4.05GHz) depending on your cooling setup. The benefit of 1066 ram is that it can more easily handle 900+ MHz speeds.
The article actually says that Intel has pushed the release of the Arandale core up by six months from Sept 2010 to March 2010, not March of this year. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how these chips perform.
