Good Morning All.
I got my Gold SCC but I have started up Open Zika again as my points haul from SCC seems pitiful. Dave's stats show that FAH is by far the largest point haul per hour run followed by OET and SCC (not counting HST as I can't get any WUs). According to my personal stats I am getting 107 points / h for SCC. 124 for Open Zika and 57 for FAH. Why the huge discrepancy? I still run for about 131 hours / 7 day period (power cuts permitting) but my points have plummeted. At least two of my MACs do little or nothing apart from crunch WCG. HELP

@Dave.. Your name is on this 256 (512 with HT) core monster: 16x HP ProLiant BL460c Gen8 C7000 Blade Center 32x Eight Core Xeon 2048GB RAM - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401195610071
Only 6kw's at full load!!

@Thargor

Once Trump drives down the dollar value, these e'll be cheap as chips
Awesome power, double the floating point performance of the DL 580 g7 E7-4870 procs, let me know how you get on!!

Morning... just moved my home 60kva backup generator from a box trailer in to the garage when it suddenly dawned on me that the only way into the garage to start it is through an electric garage door.. doh
@mac1.. here's my average points per project run time per day, FAH phase 2 doesn't appear very generous:

• Smash Childhood Cancer - 4082
  
• OpenZika - 3986
  
• Help Stop TB - 3469
  
• FightAIDS@Home - Phase 2 - 2735
  
• Outsmart Ebola Together - 4367
  
• Mapping Cancer Markers - 2966
  
• FightAIDS@Home - 4624

@dcrobinson, thanks for the great stats btw

I have switched to FAH in order to get a Saphire badge, don't know when this project will end. Once I achieve that I will switch to SCC.
My points really have increased!

Nice one DM, hope that continues.

@Reduk,
Thanks for the stats, I took a screen-dump of my project contributions a week ago so have created a sample from there and added Rod's in too.

The behaviour looks very similar overall, which means that for the most part AMD and Intel chips don't have much preference over projects, I was kind of hoping we might see more variance so we could tune our projects accordingly but I guess this takes that decision away although there might be something in the OpenZika project though - thats slightly skewed, it shows up better in this graph (posted on that Noddy forum for ease).

I may also have bid on a couple of things I don't really need earlier. That Belgian shop is great, thanks for the heads up on that - this forum's gonna cost us all a lot of money

@rts48
Those temps look very high, although i7's can run at that temp they might be throttling to protect themselves, I think it's this throttling that is also causing the spurious claimed/granted credit behaviour too. Check out that chart above, it shows your numbers are way off the pace, I'd expect modern I7 quads to be as good if not better than server chips which tend to favour lower ultimate speed but higher core counts and reliability, would need your chip model numbers to check this though - and the temps.
For reference my i7 3770 quad scores 4100FP and 11324 Integer MIPS.
A few years ago I let a core2quad Q6600 run for 3 months performing some machine learning analysis, when I finally checked the heat-sink it was absolutely clogged (Intel standard top mount) I mean the fan had compacted dust into the heat-sink and was now starting to fail itself, the poor set-up was more of an insulator for the CPU! Like yours it was running at 100deg C but after a good clean it went back to 60 even at 100% load and showed no ill effects - apart from a whining fan . It might not be this but I'd recommend to check all the air ways in / out and of course the heat-sink, if you need to clean it, it's probably easier to take it off the mobo, best to use careful manual labour / pressurised cans of air to blow the dust out, vacuums are out due to static electricity build ups of course.
If the PC's get moved a lot there's a risk that the contact patch between the CPU case and the heat-sink may separate allowing air ingress this is more of a problem with laptops though as they flex more. I7's are allegedly made from the better part of the silicon so are more able to cope with higher temperatures so it might not be this but because your numbers don't align with the pattern and 100 deg is right at the operating limit I suspect throttling is playing a part.
When the CPU's cold it's setting good benchmarks which cannot be achieved when throttling starts, conversely when it's hot and throttling it's setting a very low performance expectation. WCG has some algorithm that detects spurious claims for points it's primarily to detect people gaming the system for additional points but in your case it's likely to be compensating - but with the CPU's running below par you're missing out on a bunch of crunching.
Hope something in that text blob helps but keep us posted.

cheers,
