Hi there [H] folding community. Was a little bored so I thought I would post.
I overclocked my Phenom 9600 some more. It will be a little while before I get to see how much more PPD I get from the overclock. I am running at 237x11 for a clock speed of 2607mhz at 1.23V. I was running at 235x10.5 (2467mhz) at stock 1.25V (1.23V actual). I got a nice extra 140mhz overclock with no extra voltage (stock is 2300mhz). Too bad this is an original phenom with the TLB bug (patch off for performance of course), and crappy silicon. Its got the stupid wall around 2.7ghz. I got it all the way to 2678mhz before it would blue screen, anything less than 2678mhz can run prime 95 for a while. However to stabilize anything higher than that requires a massive voltage increase (1.375V and up). So I decided that I did not want to throw that much voltage to get such a small increase.
I am happy though, I squeezed a little more out of the processor without much effort. I was pulling 155 watts at the wall at 235x10.5 (2467mhz). Now I am at 158 watts at the wall for 237x11 (2607mhz) so not bad for 140 more mhz at only 3 more watts. The bus could probably go higher but I didnt really want to mess with it more. So that means my HT is at 2133mhz (237x9) with the muliplier on auto, and northbridge should be similar, I dont remember what the default multplier was.
I will see what my PPD is after a few more days. I was around 4500 PPD before.
Also, has anyone built a folding rig utilizing the cheap G34 8 core magny-cours? I would assume it would make some decent PPD at a good price. The processors are around $275 a piece new. So a dual socket would have 16 cores at 2ghz, and the quad socket would have 32 cores at 2ghz a piece. So a quad socket occupied with 8 core processors would have about the peformance of three 12 core magny-cours at 1.7-1.8Ghz. Dual socket with the 2ghz 8 cores would have about the performance of a single 12 core at 2.6-2.7ghz. That doesnt sound too bad at the retail prices of the 8 core chips. If they were able to be obtained used then the value would be even greater.
