Recently, my CPU is also not busy 100% of the time. I believe its more a shortage/server problem on F@H side.

Is your 800 000 PPD consistent with your RX570 8GB? Got the same GPU, but stock in a eGPU and I usually get around 300-400 000 PPD. And how much where you getting before OC?

That said, I get close to 100k PPD on a dual-CPU (12 core, 24 thread) system, so 20K for the 5650 seems a bit slow. Interesting. Do you run them under Linux or Windows? I see the the X5675 is 1 year younger than the X5650. Maybe there is more to it that just clock speed? But if so, I can't find wha...

Here's a Google Sheets that have some information for you to make an informed decision: Same set of hardware for each test: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... edit#gid=0 Thanks! this is very informative! If you have PCIE ports available, it may be better to plug a few GPUs in. As a single ...

I didn't try, I actually tought windows would be a bit faster. Do you have an estimation on how many more points should I get under Linux?

So I got my best PPD with two slots like so : 12/10. I could than achieve around 25k PPD. But I see that the lack of AVX makes this machine very inefficient under FAH. I've tried Rosetta on it, and the result where more proportional to the raw power of that dual X5650, so I will probably keep it the...

I can't help you with your Problem, but I would like to know how you squeeze 100k PPD out of an i5. I have an i7 (i guess i7-8550U something) and getting max 36k (more likely 30) PPD. The "i7" doesn't mean much. An i7-8550U is a CPU for notebook and it is nearly half as powerful as an i5-...

Newer chip support AVX or AVX2 which gives a significant speedup over the SSE2 instructions used when on your processors. Well, here is an important details I totally miss! Thanks for the info. You may find depending on the WU that using just the 12 main CPU threads will give nearly the highest PPD...

I've just found an old HP server with Dual Xeon X5650 and started to fold on it. I know its old, but since, each CPU has a cpu mark of 5863, I was thinking the result should be okay. But it's been disapointing. I'm currently folding a 16810 project's FAHCore_a8 WU and only making 20k-ish PPD with al...
