Why is my PPD so low?

So I started running SMP on my 1075t using all 6 cores, according to the client (beta 7 I believe) in windows it is only producing 1500ppd? Is there a set number of WUs you need to complete before getting the bonuses like on GPU WUs? I feel like this CPU should get me at least 10K PPD, but that is far from true since it says it will take 5 hours per WU and the base credit is only 500ppd. Can I use HFM.net yet with the new client and see if I can get a better answer for production?
 
You need to submit 10 WU to get the bonus. That CPU should easily get 10K PPD and more.
 
Sounds like that's not really a smp unit. Is it using 100% CPU?

Yes it is running at 100% cpu usage on all 6 cores. I think maybe I haven't completed the needed 10 WUs to get the bonus yet. I'll report back in a couple of days. I still don't think it should be taking 5+ hours per WU though, so maybe something else is wrong?
 
Thats less than half the time my phenom quad core takes at 2467 Mhz.
 
yes your runnign SMP....5+ hrs is right, you get ~3.5k per dropped unit, total of ~13k per day ( in case of my thuban)....so 5+ hrs per unit is good (assuming a ~4.0 CPU speed)....

I'm actually at 3.0 because I'm scared to OC since I have never really done it.

[H] user for 9.0 years?! egads man, what have you been doing here all that time? theres a great untapped resource here to help you get that thing up to 4.0 where it belongs :)

my 1055t was perfectly content at 4ghz.... I sold it in a system at 3.6 because that was just like a 5min rock solid overclock...no worries...

Thubans can take the volts.. keep it cool and it will perform for ya... its not a pansy intel chips.... feed it.

I'll try and mess with it tonight and see what I can get out of it. I have an H50 on it so cooling shouldn't be an issue, but I'm always afraid to over volt it and have the damn thing blow up. What is a decent temp to be at under prime95?

What work unit is it? What's your time per frame?

Current WU is 6080, and I think TPF is ~5 minutes. My client isn't showing me anything right now, and I don't know why. It kinda freaked out a minute ago and now after restarting the client it won't show me TPF or credit. Maybe I'll restart and report back.

max save voltage is 1.55v so stay under that(shouldn't be an issue either way). recommended max safe temp is 70C(but AMD's insanely conservative with the number). shouldn't be an issue with the H50 though.

personally i prefer to run intel burn test. prime95 testing really doesn't push the processor as much as F@H does. so what may be prime95 stable may not be F@H stable but if its IBT stable it will definitely be F@H stable. also remember to try and get your CPU-NB as close to 3Ghz as possible, it may need a slight voltage increase to hit it but it will give you a pretty nice PPD increase.

Ok so first attempt I fucking locked up my machine....I don't know how far I can go without bumping the voltage. Do I just bump the base clock a couple and then run intel burn test and hope I don't lock up? This seems like it could take awhile.

Yeah, overclocking is a long process. It will take some time to get it dialed in.

You should be getting about 9k PPD with those numbers, so the client must just be calculating the PPD incorrectly. That is assuming you qualify for the bonus, of course.

knock to 1.5v knock it to 4 make sure your ram is low enough and drop your ht link down..as to not overclock it when you get there... and run ibt... tweak from there...

pretend its a 70s muscle car...
 
I give up. I just tried to run Intel Burn Test at stock speeds and I came back after like 15 minutes and my computer was off?

I am sorry... just saw the motherboard... reset the bios and try stock again... didn't notice you were feeding the muscle car gravel...

You mean swap a stock 2 barrel Rochester carburetor out for a 4 barrel Holley? :cool:

Resetting the bios sounds in order.

Alright so I think I fixed the problem with having a shitty mobo....it decided to bite the dust today. I have tried it with my 1075T as well as my X4 945. With 4 seperate sticks of ram and 2 different video cards all I get it the first LED on the mobo stays lit and the other 3 blink. Won't even post or beep. Guess I will be getting that Crosshair V a little sooner than I planned. Time to go sell some old shit so I can afford it.
 
Good choice, didnt realize you had a MSI (good thing you didnt push too hard...they have a nasty tendency)...anyhow for info on OCing there is a nice handy guide here on [H], method still applies to AM3/AM3+
