Vbox vs Native *nix findings

[Patonb]

So I've been ramping up my SR-2 and have it running at 2976mhz (175 x 17) \running f@h in a Vbox setup.

So with 8102s, i was expecting in around 30-31 min tpf as per Punchys results that i assume were native Linux. However I seem to be getting 34-35tpf.

Looks like Vbox takes 4minutes longer, it does only run 95% ie, 23 out of 24 cores.

Well temps and vcore are still low, so up goes the clock speed.

push it up .. at least 3.8Ghz ?

Or just install linux

Can't, the multi is lock 17, so thats a 223 blk

Or just install linux

Can't, work from home so need windows.

VM for windows. It does not deserve anything more

Absolutely. That's how I run Windows apps (that won't run in Wine) on Linux but I use Virtualbox.

Well, hitting 3145 right now, 185 blk. ~16:40 tpf on 6901

For those running Vbox, yous set numa or not?

I investigated vbox on an SR2 pretty thoroughly a little over a year ago. Here were my findings

Thanks jebo, I used this back with my zn8c setup.

Think switching mobo would require a new image setup?

I don't think so

jebo, are you still a Linux tard?

Nah, I can follow other people's step by step directions just fine, as long as they tell me exactly what to do
