i7 980x Not Performing as Expected
I have a couple of Intel Core i7 980x CPUs; one is liquid cooled and running at 4.4 GHz, folding on 10 threads with the last two serving GPU slots, and the other is running at 4.0 GHz on air, folding on all 12 threads with no GPU slots. The 4 GHz CPU which has 12 threads assigned to the client is on...

Re: Dual GTX 970 System - Low PPD After Rebuild
Temps were not that bad; I was a little disappointed with the cooling performance of the 4u case but it needed to go in a rack, I can modify it to improve upon that and hopefully keep the fan noise levels at an acceptable level. I am having to run the card fans at about 75% duty cycle to keep the GP...

Re: Dual GTX 970 System - Low PPD After Rebuild
I've removed and re-seated everything. Pausing/removing the CPU slot from the machine does not make any difference. I tried that first before pulling and re-seating components. I am extremely confused by this. The cards both fold absolutely fine in other systems, but other cards will no longer achie...

Re: Dual GTX 970 System - Low PPD After Rebuild
What's really confusing and frustrating about this is that nothing whatsoever about this system except the case has changed, and it's now producing ~1/3rd of the points that it was for the past 6 months, on an open air test bench in an air conditioned room. I have uninstalled and re-installed the cl...

Re: Dual GTX 970 System - Low PPD After Rebuild
MSI Afterburner reports that the GPU usage on both cards is hovering between 60-70% - not sure if that makes a difference or not as I never paid any attention to that value whilst it was performing well. I'll check it on some of my other rigs to find out what they are showing for GPU usage.

Dual GTX 970 System - Low PPD After Rebuild
Yesterday I rebuilt one of my open air dual GTX 970 machines into a 4U rack case. Unfortunately I lost the BIOS profile due to a dead motherboard battery, but I remembered most if not all of the overclock settings and had it back up and running again in no time. I left it on a bench in the comms roo...
