Re: Need help selecting a Processor

As promised I made a small spreadsheet and notes on what I came up with. Work and the holidays had me a bit distracted so it's a little late where I forgot to upload it. As it was stated you can only do a 1:1 ratio of GPU's to CPU threads. Unfortunately it does lock them out even though the real usa...

Re: Need help selecting a Processor

I've been folding on my 2080, I just though jt would be kind of nice to use a Jetson is all. I ebayed it though since I've had no time to use it for its intended purpose. That said I did get the multi gpu folding machine up with four 1060 mining cards. Ill add the last two today or tomorrow and see ...

Re: Need help selecting a Processor

This is the one I have and at 15W if it had the ability to fold it would be nice. I think it's about to go on E-bay though. I just don't have the time to mess with it, and when I do have time I have my RTX 2080 as well as a RTX 3080 on order...... It might make it by April at this rate. At least my ...

Re: Need help selecting a Processor

Already have one on my desk is why I was wondering. Lately I've not had time to fool with it so I was hoping I could put it to work is all. The ARM that nVidia went with is their own design and it's pretty fail. Works for it's intended purpose with is to power the GPU cores, but a RPi 4 is better. I...

Re: Need help selecting a Processor

I think on board graphics are on the ARM, but I figured it has plenty of CUDA and Tensor cores so maybe they have something that'll work with this. Mainly because the wattage is so low if you could get some good results it would be worth running 24/7

Re: Need help selecting a Processor

I think I'm going to go with the i3 and if it's a fail I'll resell it and look at the next step. I'm only using 1060 mining cards, but I can slot 2 in a 16x slots and then add the rest as a 1x slots later as a way to check it, unfortunately because of how jobs are handed out I'm not sure how well th...

Re: Need help selecting a Processor

A single PCI-E channel will carry a lot of data, I'm surprised it'll bottleneck with a 1x slot. These are only 1060's so they shouldn't hog up that much I would hope. Trying to run on 1 board is space and because I'm trying to avoid multiple systems. Multiple systems means more hardware, more heat, ...

Need help selecting a Processor

Once upon I time I had a mining rig configured for different coins. IIRC I had set one of my 6 card rigs to fold, but reading the forums it seems like I need at least 1 logical core per GPU. To my understanding some WU's will resource lock a processor core to a job, but I also heard some months back...
