Hey all.....
So I finally got the new machine up and running stable at 4GHz and have been folding with it for about 2 days now.
My question is what sort of ppd should I be seeing, right now it is only getting about 10kppd. On my main rig i7 960 folding alongside a 680 i'm getting 20kppd SMP with the bigadv checked.
I'm running tracker V2 on the AMD system SMP/bigadv and only seeing 10kppd. I purchased all the new stuff on the cheap but was thinking an 8 core CPU would pull much more ppd than I'm seeing
 
Maybe AMD cpu's not so great for folding???
 

ppd should be between 10,000ppd to 25,000ppd just depends on the work unit got a 8150 going 24/7 here at 4400MHz  lowest is right now at 10,920ppd the other day it was at 26,000ppd on 1 of the 600 point w/u's

As long as you're experimenting, check what it does on the V7 client.
I've often wondered what the deal was with AMD and folding.

Thanks asus939 for yhe input......
I have not seen it go higher than 10kppd and its been going steady since Monday. Ive got 15wu's done since Monday 6945,6958 and about 3 others in the 69 count all worth 552 credit, with about 4 8065,66,67 worth 202 points.
Same 8065 on my i7 nets between 18k to 21k????
As well with a TJ max of 61 it had to go under water to keep the temps from getting out of control and downclocking its self......
I only spent about$320 out of pocket to get it up and running and with what I had around the house. Gonna tinker with it a little more this weekend and see what improvments I can make.....
 
Maybe V7 client as yodap says.....
 

sorry about that i am on v7 and the temps are around 50 max at 4400MHz under water

I reworked this AMD machine a bit.......
Re installed Win7
Re worked my OC so it will run stable at 4GHz and not throttle down
Installed an H70 cooler I had sitting around..... Seeing around 31C on all cores now
Switched to V7 client
SMP is back up and running and chugging on 7645wu and just under 24hrs till completion.....Is this a bigadv??? Never had a wu take over 2 day to complete....

The 7645 projects are freaking huge, so that's a normal time. My main desktop gets about a 30 minute TPF on them, although it has stuff running and it's a stock i7 920.
 
My standalone folding rig is a stock i7 2600 which has a 15 min TPF on one right now.
 

Use them 12 or 16 core Opterons, then you will blow all them Intel things out of the water :P
 
Go Dual or Quad CPU if you want to see some serious numbers 
 
Don't even bother buying their desktop toy things, Intel Core i7 is best when it comes to 1CPU setups, AMD rocks with 2 & 4 CPU setups, if going AMD, go Dual or Quad Opteron 6100 / 6200 series, they will save you money, heat and power usage also when compared to them Xeon CPU's.
 
For two Xeons you can buy 4 similar performing Opteron chips, but it's all up to you of course, heh

I use a closed-loop liquid cooler on my 8150 @ 4.2GHz. I have the option for the huge units checked and I get some that take several days and only return about 11k points. Should I change something in the v7 client to get more ppd?

8150 o/c at 4612MHz temp 46 degrees
project   7031
base credit 1804.65
estimated credit  14235.21
estimated ppd 17197.66
estimated TPF  11 min. 49 secs
right around 23 hours to complete
on the base credit on 600 point ones PPD is around 26000
hope it helps and once you o/c past 4300MHz the temps climb due to added volts
