The OS results page is interesting:Quote:

Nearly double the x86 flops in Windows vs Linux, although Windows has around 30% more CPUs than Linux folding, with around 25% less cores?
If I'm reading this right, this suggests a huge difference in clockspeed being the main driver between the two? Not massively suprising, I guess, if you consider the clockspeeds enterprise kit/setups will use where Linux is prevalent versus a typical enthusiast on Windows.
Late to the party but just signed up, get my OC settings tuned in :)
Crikey, that's some heat kicked out over a few hours - better go and put another 50p in the meter
I had a quick blast while away from the PC during Christmas period, almost caught up with Vimeous. The top of the food chain is in sight!
What does disappoint me though is that since this time last year, the required points for top 10000 have risen from 32 million to 160 million, rather making my advance feel meaningless, and Hexus has fallen from ~#280 to #861.
System update, and seeing what it'll do, with Ryzen 5 3600 + RTX 2060 :)Quote:

At a guess, 65W (or whatever) of CPU provided it would have been on, anyway. Otherwise, probably the central heating, though a lot depends on what you're heating. A four-bed house heated by CPU alone might, ummm ... take a while. I supposed you could always stick a 4090 in there for the extra heat output? ;)
I have been thinking this but as electricity is going up too, it's not as much as a free win as it may once have been.Quote:

Last year I was heating with crypto mining, but that's gone.
Thermostatic valves are, excse the pun, central to me.
We have a main thermostat, and a system with sufficiently poor overall bslance, that without them we turn one room (lounge) into a sauna before getting others out of he arctic. The only way to get modest efficiency is (short of re-doing the whole system) is to balance various areas with thermostatic valves. Still got a few to add, but in minimally used rooms so not urgent.
Our house was more simply out of balance. The upstairs would be hot, downstairs cold. I had a plumber add thermostat valves to the entire upstairs.Quote:

System updated to Ryzen 9 3900X :DQuote:
