bandwith Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 I just added an FX-8350 to the folding mix today. My total budget couldn't come close an i7. However, is it any good for PPD? Also, what's the new minimums for "special" WUs? btw, with all the VMs already loaded onto this system, it's still weird to look at ~760% CPU load with just folding....

Lackadaisical Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Can't help with your question although I am curious about your comment. What other system you are folding on? I spun up a few VMs on a server for folding just out of curiosity, and it will literally eat the entire compute of the blade if I let it (two 6 core Xeons @ 3.06ghz +HT) pegged at 100% cpu utilization due to 1 VM, pretty amazing...

Locutus Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Per Hardware Canucks you're looking at 12k to 28k PPD depending on which WU. YMMV. ETA: Looks like the i5-3570k can easily double that, though. Edited February 9, 2013 by Locutus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandwith Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) What other system you are folding on? This is what I know about... there are many older systems in the field. Don't know out of them if they're still running.

bandwith Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Seems the stock cooler cannot handle the 67C+ that was being generated. I've had to throttle back to 4 cores on the 8350 until I get the cooling sorted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
