SO.... Aaron is back, ladies and gents.. been a couple years, but I was here in the original days in many many different respects. :)

Got my new 8 core rig up with 12gb of ram, and watercooled everything with the x743h3hnonsense edition walletspender card in it - so I thought I'd attach it and see how it completely blows my core 2 duo out of the water.

It should get near 100% docking time for a while. CHEERS!!!

OK SO ---

Basically I'm putting out 1 completed workunit per core every 3 hours, does that sound normal?

All I remember is that seemed to be about the speed it was with my old Core 2 duo system.

Guess I'm gonna have to load it up over on the "old" beast to see! XD

TYTY!!!! :-DDDD

Well the old PC is churning away right next to the new one, but -

I've discovered a memory problem with the new one. I'm not sure if it has to do with adequate cooling, or simply bad ram... I'm real sorry about the slew of computation errors, I'm going to be spending the next few days trying to figure out which stick of ram is giving me problems, then likely RMA back to Mushkin.

nevertheless - /sadpanda

On a side note - if anyone reading this knows of a *GOOD* (meaning best available, and actually very functional, not just a gimmick) RAM cooler, I'm interested in entertaining this option, but haven't the slightest clue about this very niche section of the enthusiast market.

Edited to add - Just found a newer BIOS on Asus.com's website. Trying that first, though I doubt it will help.

Successfully eliminated one stick out of nine as being bad ram today, with 2 sticks validated as good.

Working on stick 4 XD

Will still be about a week and a half before I complete all testing, so.. very sorry about the computation errors and aborted WU.

all Mushkin ram. I was told they were awesome? 5/9 bad seems like something ran amok somewhere. Makes me want to go back to GEIL. :(

I know Geil but haven't heard of Mushkin, as it was already off my radar I wont miss not using it.
I use Legend and OCZ and all seems fine with them.
The Legend memory is now up to 4 or so years old and operates in ambient temperatures of up to 38 degrees celsius (as does the new OCZ memory chips).
