56 pointers?

oceaness · 4 Jul 2006 at 12:16

I have

AMD 1000mhz @1200mhz (motherboard will only go to 120FSB >_<) 512mb
AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (stock 1800mhz) 512mb
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (stock 1800mhz (unoverclockable)) 512mb
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (stock 2000mhz) 512mb

Intel Pentium 4 (stock 2500mhz (unoverclockable)) 512mb

and a part-time 3800 X2 @ 2.5ghz with 2gb of memory

Why do they all seem to pick up 56 pointers?! :mad:

They seem to alternate between better WU's (around 100-200 credits) and 56 pointers. Is something wrong?

heh. Figured as much :rolleyes:

Now you gotta see if you can find another excuse to use that phrase today

Oh well as long as nothings wrong, I mean I followed the indepth foldy setup guide for CLI and everything works luverly, but I wasn't sure if there was something I'd missed.

I wish, it's not mine.

If it we're it would be watercooled, northbridge and CPU, both overvoltaged, and I would expect at least 3ghz out of it.

I've actually considered that,

I have 2 Socket A's that I've considered unlocking the multipliers on, it's just the hassel of getting round to doing it and first I need some better cooling.

Arrgghhhh OcUK has stopped doing Socket A/462 Thermalright HS

lol grats ZIP wish I could get a 500 or 600 pointer :eek:

Cheers HT, atm they both have stock HSF and cooling wise are about as useful as a cat in a beer glass.

Though at least the cat in the beer glass is mildly amusing.

lol rather embarrassing... atm it's... erm.. "not on" :eek:

It's not on the network temporarily I will sort it out 2moro probably as I'll be home for a bit. Right now I have to go out until tomorrow morning.

I think I actually have 3 Socket A's.
HT don't worry about the HSF I need to sort out some stuff with all my PC's, atm I'm running out of space in the computer room so it looks like I'll be needing to sort out a rackmount system. I'll buy three good HSF or possibly setup some watercooling for the rack, and look into ocing them when I do.

Oh and it seems to do normal WU's i.e. Gromacs, GB Gromacs e.t.c in 2-3 days, only slightly slower than the other rigs.
