2600K folding rig and PPD numbers Figured this would be useful for some folks thinking of a Sandy Bridge folding upgrade: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...28/p6900-4.png http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...28/p6074-1.png Source: 2600K dedicated bigadv build w/pics@4900Mhz - Overclock.net - Overclocking.net and further info: Folding Forum • View topic - 2600K @ 4.9Ghz folding rig He got 4.6GHZ on stock cooler, and used Corsair H50 for 4.9GHZ. |
4.6 on stock cooler is impressive numbers. Thanks for posting. |
very nice. so the regular smp client should do well too on the cheaper 2500k thats probably going to be more popular outside the hard core folding community :) |
I will confirm those number by the end the week, I sold 2 rig, my I7 980x and an I7 920 for 2 2600K rig. PPD should be equal at least. I did this for power usage-wise, money wise and.... OK OK I was bored and need to do some overclocking fun session!!! And by looking those numbers... 4.6ghz is easy job, so 45 000 ppd X 2 = 90 000ppd vs now I'm 85 000 ppd for those 2 rig. |
Can't wait for the LGA 2011's to come out.. six (possibly 8) core goodness with hyperthreading. If they oc like the 1155's can.. gonna be a lot of swearing by the SR-2 owners. |
PPD/Watt FTW, That's where this thing shines. 50,000 PPD on BigAdv and 200 watts power usage. Compare that to my I7 980x at a conservative 4.075 Ghz (163*25) but using 275w with an idle 5870 is a pretty big deal to me. 25% less power usage for only a slight drop in performance OC vs OC is great. Though I'm still waiting for BullDozer, I'm still impressed by that aspect, and the fact that it's doing this with dual-channel DDR3 is pretty awesome too. Keeps costs down there as well. |

This of course, assumes that Stanford leaves Bigadv folding as it is. |

I dont see them changing anything with CPU folding any time 'soon'. Why? Because people are dedicating a lot of hardware (and thus $), horsepower, and a lot of time. We just may see some bigger units to take advantage of the extra horsepower. A downward change in -bigadv points would only occur if Stanford isnt getting what they want (results) out of their current points system, as it looks now, they appear to be. Hope I dont eat my words...:haha: |

Long-term, the bonus point system may be applied to other WUs, making Bigadv less lucrative 'points-wise'. The above is what I think will happen, but the bonus point system is a trial program. |
