Got rid of a few very old rigs. I'm glad we have free recycling of hazardous waste in Hennepin county (the amount of taxes we pay in this !@#$ county we should have our lawns mowed for free!) I'm down to 1-i7 950, 1-i7 860 and 1-mac pro (xeon 2 cpu). I have an core 2 duo macbook but the cpu fan went out on it, as soon as my apple care expired.  Would think your Gflops would be allot higher with that much firepower you have. What model year is the Mac pro? Still miss my 2008 Mac pro. One heck of a cruncher. Do these all run 24/7? If you read Mac rumors and see all the posts about parts failing right after apple care expires, would seriously think apple controls the failures through OS X somehow.  Talked with super micro today. Should have my board back by Friday. Was hoping to win the big one. Was dreaming of one hell of a data center in the home  .

I think your parents are being a bit subtle. Perhaps they were giving you a hint they wanted some grandchildren to get the eggs.  They probably figure you are old enough to get your own vodka, beer, spirits etc. That way you can get want you want and as much as you can stand. On another matter, March will go down as the warmest on record. It will be about 58F (14C) today but the weekend will be 70 to 80 F(21to 27C). The previous warmest was in 1910 I think. I am sure the weather guys will tell us in short order. Well, tsokolat was quite nice. Now I have handful of miniature Hello Kitty figures... Was wondering that with nightfall and superglue, I could offer my neighbors some very nice hood ornaments... Yesyesyes, blaming kids about it, sure... About weather, March was awful warm here also, it did encourage dudes to all kind of unusual behavior, like planting poteitos ... Well North is North, weather forecast promise 7'F (-14'C) for next night here on Southern North, so not sure will they try that again during this generation... What could I say, North is North    [Edit 1 times, last edit by ultimaThule at Mar 31, 2012 12:01:52 PM] |

Joined milky way to crunch with my ATI 6950. I did join our team too
---------------------------------------- ! You folks using your GPU over there? Curious what your crunching time are.

In 1969 I took an oath to defend and protect the U S Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and Domestic. There was no expiration date.

Guess my 6950 isn't doing so bad. Settings on low will do it around 90 seconds, high settings around 75 seconds. Temps get pretty high if I dont raise the fans.

Just for a test try down clocking your memory and see if your run times change. I down clocked mine from 1000Mhz. to 300 MHz. with no measurable difference in run times. The measurable difference was 20 watts less power consumed and 10c lower temps.YMMV.

You will have no difficulty at all running separation units at 300MHz memory speed with no decrease in completion times. Your temps will stay lower too. My 5870 runs 24/7 at 900MHz GPU & 300MHz memory and completes two WU at a time in a little over two minutes. [Edit 1 times, last edit by swiftmallard at Apr 4, 2012 12:19:03 AM] |

The measurable difference was 20 watts less power consumed and 10c lower temps.YMMV. If I shut CCC off, it will run at 800mhz and the lowest setting on memory clock. If I enable CCC, I can down clock to 500mhz. Nothing lower. BTW, what is the power setting for? Can go -20 to 0 to +20. Am assuming power consumption. Correct? I add about 40 seconds crunching time when dropping CCC settings to there lowest settings using overdrive.
