Queasy Tiger

Ah, sorry. I'm slowly transitioning from a web host to my own home server. Here is the new link: http://redfoxit.ddns.net/cloud-computing.html The site isn't finished but yeah, the WCG team is. And thanks for the interest

Hi all! It's been a while, but boy have I been busy! Over the last few months, I have acquired my own server! A HP ProLiant DL380 G6 to be precise. While I will post about that separately, here I would like to show you just one of the things I am doing with it. Scientific research! I am using Folding@Home and BOINC to allow my server to do computing for the greater good of mankind. To join my World Community Grid team, click here to visit my website to take you to the appropriate links. (Please be aware that my website is unfinished) Thanks for reading!

Eh, I'm not too worried about it, it's not that big of a performance hit. I just wanted to know if I was doing something quite obviously wrong and someone could say "You idiot" and correct me. Thanks for the help everyone!

Seems fine to me:

Hmm... Okay, let me have a look.

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1600x (Overclocked to 4.00GHz) Motherboard MSI X370 Gaming Plus RAM 8GB Corsair Dominator 3000MHz (Overclocked to 3066MHz) GPU Zotac AMP!

I've never gotten it over 70 degrees Celsius. It's AIO water cooled.

I don't know why it shows only 3.8 GHz. However, in AMD's Ryzen Master utility it shows the CPU running at 4.00GHz:

Hi all! Okay, so here is the story: I was running a User Benchmark test of my gaming rig the other day (Here are the results of the test) and I noticed something strange: My CPU (While performing very well) was performing below expectations in the 35th percentile. So I decided to run cinebench to see what kind of score I was getting and the same again: My CPU is not performing as well as it could, or as well as it has done in the past. This is the best I could achieve in cinebench, one was as low as 1320! Don't get me wrong, my CPU is still amazing overall, I just want to know why it might be doing this. Oh, and my CPU is overclocked and overvolted to 1.4V @ 4.00GHz. Does anyone have any ideas? (Feel free to ask questions about my rig and my software etc if it can help to diagnose the issue) Thanks! Addendum: Oh, and I know one of my SSD's didn't get benchmarked for some odd reason, I'm already working on fixing that as I think it's a firmware issue.

Hey, sorry about the long wait for a reply. We only rent a farmhouse on a working farm, and the people who own the farm have no interest in fiber.

I might give linux a try tbh, but its completely alien to me. The servers are my College's old ones, and they might give them to me free, so ima keep them for my own use too. And we tried, because they'd have to run a fiber cable to our farmhouse, they only want to do it for a business. If they did, they'd charge us to install the cable, but It'd be worth it.

Yeah, but VMware is expensive... I only have server 2012 because a friend of mine had a spare licence... I guess if I ever get the money I should. Also, too bad about BOINC, I guess I'll just have to run then separately. And yep, the power bill is gonna be big, but I want to do it for the greater good of mankind. Also I'm looking about starting some kind of IT business when I get some experience (Purely so I can qualify to get the business fiber internet in my area. There is only DSL in my area for consumers, and I get 11Mbps down, 0.85Mbps up.... Business users can get 100 down with standard fiber to the cabinet. So yeah....

Alright then, I'll do that. Thanks anyway (I'll keep the topic open just in case though)

I saw that, but I am not sure failover clustering is the solution I'm looking for. Isn't failover clustering for redundancy?

Okay then; I want to run BOINC across the systems while only using one client. (If at all possible) I also want to be able to virtualise lots of systems across them. (Since each server could be up to 12 cores) Like I say, I'm kinda new at this. I've heard something about HPC clustering in Linux? I'm willing to try other operating systems if it lets me do what I want.
