2600K folding rig and PPD numbers

[3.0charlie]

Got my setup up and running tonight. P8P67 vanilla, TT Frio push/pull. Corsair 4Gb ram 1600 C9 running @ 1372. APC software says 265W load.
Received the chip at 1600, and started running -bigadv at 2100...

edit. 1st frame complete, tpf is 23:26. Frame 2: 23:22; Frame 3: 23:19.

very nice penguin-sama!!!

1.4 volts is decent too. intel said something about 1.35 i believe but close enough :p

Amazing clocks. I would probably run the ram at 1600 or faster, they can probably do 1800 cl9 with 1.6V or something. Ram makes a considerable difference with bigadv so even if you have to drop back to 4.7Ghz you should at least test to see if how it changes TPF.

It is more in a testing / discovery mode at the moment, and I know the ram can handle some more. But I want to make sure the rig is stable 1st.
I also found out you have to use the "Reviewer's pack" of CPUID in order to see proper SB data (CPU-z 1.56.1, HWMonitor and Aida64). I do know
that CoreTemp's "VID" is actually the Vcore being shown.

Rams speed makes a difference? Do you have any proof of that? Not that I think you would make it up.....just would like to know how much difference. 1000 PPD, I don't care. 3000-5000 PPD, and I care.

So wickedld9 on ********* saved 1 min on the tpf of a p6900 by going from 1600mhz cl9 to 2133 cl10 on the same wu, os, board etc. That works out to around 4k ppd.

Also with a p6061, 4.9ghz 1600 cl9 = 4.7ghz 2133 cl10.

2133 cl9 is $73 on newegg so I see no reason not to get that.

wasnt qpi speed that made the difference?

although i heard about ram too but it wasnt...much? :)

I'm almost half tempted to grab a mATX setup with a 2600k just for folding. Then I wouldn't feel so guilty about pausing my folding to play games occasional

2600k on a matx? discrete low end gpu, you could do well with a psu that does 250 watts on the 12v stable :) small case...yummy

That's kind of what I'm thinking; just something I can put on the shelf under my desk. I think I might price it out.
