Thanks, all of that 100 years went to this team! Since 100 year Diamond is the highest badge I have now moved all of my efforts to OET and UCM. I have only 6 years on UCM and only 4 days on OET. It will be interesting to see if I can achieve another 100 year Diamond. There should be enough of both for you to make it. Once they they restart OET, they will have mostly the longer running units. The UGM folks seem to be adding additional WU's as time passes. Good luck. Cheers

Congrats. Wouldn't want your electric bill though.

Congrats. Wouldn't want your electric bill though. My summer electric bill is just under $1,000. My last Gas bill, for December was under $100. We usually do not turn the heat on until November, due to the heat generated by the computers. I am replacing all of my Windows with new Marvin windows, so we will see if that actually has an impact.    |

$1000
---------------------------------------- . If I had a electric bill that high that my computers contributed most of that, the wife would shoot me. I had at 1 time 2 dual hex and 1 quad core crunching when gpu's were crunching here. Made a boat load of points. Down to 1 dual hex and 1 hex system now. Been eying the new i7 8 core but a little to expensive for me. The new hex for around 350 bucks is a good price. Can't afford the newest xeon monsters. A dual 18 core xeon would be sweet to crunch with.

It does 65,000-85,000 WCC points per day or an average of 9,800 BOINC points per day. I have never tried a server class processor yet, I have a mix of AMD and Intel Chips. |

Do you run that with just the 8 cores or do you use the hyperthreading option ?

Do you run that with just the 8 cores or do you use the hyperthreading option ? Yes, it actually has 16 WCC tasks running 24x7. This computer just runs WCC, nothing else. |

is that 8 core OC'ed? My dually is only doing around 80,000 ppd WCG. Westmere X5670's. Impressive numbers that 8 core is doing. I leave 1 thread open to handle OS.

My guess is not overclocked...
----------------------------------------Intel Core i7-5960X @ 3.00GHz: 15948 Intel Xeon X5670 @ 2.93GHz: 8281 Got this comparison off of cpubenchmark.net The extra 2 cores (4 threads) and IPC improvements over several generations gives the i7-5960x an almost 2x performance increase over the x5670. Since you have 2 x5670's in that system, both systems should be comparable in performance. Here's an AMD Opteron 6180 x2 system before I shut it down for vacation after Xmas. Just happy it can still keep up with the Intel systems... guess it averages somewhere between 70-90k ppd. 12/27/2014 0:023:19:19:49 94,897 158 12/26/2014 0:029:03:14:58 117,252 196 12/25/2014 0:023:12:37:06 74,227 104 12/24/2014 0:020:05:20:07 67,515 87 12/23/2014 0:022:21:07:07 95,570 191 12/22/2014 0:027:19:31:52 123,326 248 12/21/2014 0:024:19:04:44 92,574 175 12/20/2014 0:021:13:38:34 68,550 90 12/19/2014 0:020:02:19:39 79,534 140 12/18/2014 0:022:08:45:43 78,684 158 12/17/2014 0:023:09:19:07 99,090 182 12/16/2014 0:025:04:54:08 97,735 175 12/15/2014 0:024:16:25:23 68,727 103 12/14/2014 0:026:01:28:19 67,669 82 12/13/2014 0:023:19:01:24 66,833 88 12/12/2014 0:022:19:08:08 62,013 81 12/11/2014 0:023:15:03:47 66,261 83 12/10/2014 0:022:17:31:05 70,926 90 12/09/2014 0:022:03:54:31 83,856 97 Enjoy the warmup for a few days guys...  |

Was thinking of upgrading to X5680's (3.33ghz) but the changes in the chips after westmere makes it not worth it. The latest chips are so efficient. The i7 5820K @389 is cheap for a hex chip.
