That explains it then 
Just thought I might have screwed up the optimised app install!

BTW what kind of temps do people get running Bionc on cpu? Mines hovering around permanently on 67 degrees which seems a little high. Wonder if I need to reapply some thermal paste as I haven't done it for a while.
Associate
Nothing to worry about there, my Haswell-E Xeon hovers around 65C.

mine both seem a bit higher than normal at 75c and 65c

You're overclocked pretty high though, again I wouldn't say 75 is anything to be concerned about myself.
Associate
You guys on water or air though?

Air.

Xeon E5620 @76c - that's partly due to the cheap rubbish heatsink Dell put on there (I have a replacement but haven't been brave enough to swap it over yet - I don't like messing with thermal compound).
The other E5620, in the same box, which has the better heatsink, runs at 60c.
Just noticed I'm 13th in the team. This will NOT do! I've still got one more system to bring online tonight so hopefully that won't last for long. I could always power up a RasPi if I get desperate!

My L5639s run about 66-68C, but they're (obviously) lower voltage and the room that system's in is pretty cool. Also a Dell, a T5500 bought from the MM here a while ago.

Also a T5500, which means you probably know about the heatsink situation with them. The default heatsink for low-power chips is an el-cheapo aluminium thing. The E5620 is on the limit for that heatsink (I'm only running 75% of cores, otherwise it goes into the 80s), so I grabbed the better copper version off a certain auction site, but as I said, haven't been brave enough to try to swap it over yet (it's a pretty tight squeeze in there even after pulling the second CPU).
Associate
It is a bit tight in there, you're right, I remember removing the heatsinks to swap in hex cores when I first got it and a certain amount of cursing and bloodshed ensued.

I'm 12th today (phew! 
) - and that's despite one PC going to sleep and another not talking. Murphy at his best.

Install one of these heatsinks and ziptie a 80mm fan to it. Plenty of room. Keeps temps on the mainboard cpu around 50C. That's with a X5675 95W TDP. The riser heatsink stinks too.

Hopefully this may help others; Enigma can only be crunched on 32-bit Linux, and so I required the 32-bit libraries for Arch here:

I have been paged... Will refer back when I get home

Hmm, interesting, so maybe it is a libraries issue after all...odd as I would've expected it to throw a (more visible) wobbly rather than just not fetch work. The 32-bit libc libraries mentioned there ring a bell, fairly sure I've had to do that for another project in the past, but in that case the machine would fetch work and immediately trash the units saying computation error.

Will look into it after dinner. Can't devote much to it but every little helps right?
