      My mining rig has an AMD 8350 CPU, but that’s currently (and always) occupied by mining 4 GPU’s and 6 ASIC devices…

      And the Intel Q9600 in this workstation is busy running a browser and wallets and emails… And really pushing this box at all tends to display this funny blue screen with white lettering that basically says “ha ha, I’m going to reboot now, so screw whatever you were doing” so I tend not to push it a lot…

      I did at one time mine a couple cores of each of those on neoscrypt, here is the results:

      -AMD 8350 (8 core) black running stock clock gets 1.63 kh/s per core.
      -Intel Q9660 (quad core) unlocked running stock clock gets 1.32 kh/s per core.

      -ramping up to 3/4 the cores in both CPU’s held the per-core hashrate shown

      The wife is due for a PC upgrade, an AMD APU might be going in there. :)

      for an AMD apu i’d reccomend the A10-7850K, that thing is pretty impressive! and plenty of ram really lets it fly, my friend recently got one in his machine, he can even run some games at 1080p at mid-high settings!

      thanks for giving me some info for CPUs :P however the comparison site also needs memory amount/type/channel/speed, so if you could get those that would be great!

      if you could submit the details on the site, would be even more awesome :D

        ############### Update ###############

        ACP login page complete, and actually works! (after 6 hours straight sat at my laptop)

        Logging out also works!

        It’s as secure as i can make it right now (no plaintext passwords are used huehue), with session id which is checked based on ip when navigating to any page on the ACP, i will look into making sessions time limited aswell (more security… hehe).

        ############### Thanks ###############

            Haha, yeah, i was maybe hoping people would test out the onboard hd2500/4000 chips and above, my i7’s hd4000 gets 18mh/s for sha256, was wondering what it would manage for neoscrypt :P ill try give mine a run today, but if its that crappy ill just remove them all together :P

              adding my i7’s HD 4000!

              manages 8.1kh/s at just 11.7w! (1150mhz) not bad for a little intel chip!

              might even try overclocking it to the sky… let’s see how fast it can go (i recon 1700mhz is possible on this thing hehe)

              EDIT: 10.3kh/s at 15.7w (1500mhz) … losing a bit of efficiency, but let’s try for that 1700… hehe

              EDIT 2: 11.68kh/s at 17.3w (1700mhz) … pushing any higher runs into endless hardware errors, and i dont wanna push more voltage into it as its already at +0.3v and i dont wanna kill it lol, if i can run it alongside my cpu and 660Ti, then ill be hitting around 69 kh/s (lol)

              EDIT 3: just realised it’s actually pretty efficient (around 650h/w) compared to most GPUs in the table (bar the 280x/290/290x), which is actually rather impressive for an intel GPU!

                Page not found (404) on the main link and the ‘acp’ link.

                ‘New’ link times out.

                  Works fine for me last i checked, let me see

                  Edit: still works fine for me, if you’re on windows, open cmd and enter “ipconfig/flushdns” (without quote marks), that should fix it. I moved the box that its hosted on so the dns may not have refreshed yet

                    It’s working for me now as well, without the flush.

                    Fun times tomorrow, 3 of the GPU’s in the test results are coming out to get RMA’d… The 2 Sapphire 290’s for fan failures, and one of the XFX just got sick and died with no warning whatever. SGminer showed card as sick, then went to dead. Restarted SG, and the computer locked up hard. On reboot, card not detected.

                    That gives me an HIS 280x to try to outrun my XFX 290x POS…

                      Well, success!! (of a sort)

                      I managed to get the HIS 280x (GPU 0) to hash faster (303 khs) than I’ve been able to get the XFX 290x to hash reliably (GPU 1 & 2 @ 301 khs)…

                      aTzBZ3j.jpg

                      When I get the 280x to max speed, I’ll upload the stats and proof to the site, but there never be another XFX GPU in my future.

                      – edit – up to 307k

                        The 280x may be hashing faster than the 290x simply because of memory manufacturer, the hynix memory seems to allow miners to hash a lot lot faster than with elpida memory, perhaps this is due to differences in memory timings (seems most likely) but if you wish to get the highest hashrate out of a gpu, try to get hynix memory

                        I’ve been testing a couple of older AMD cards, and in general it seems the newer and faster the card, the better, i have a HD 5670 (picked up for £10 as fault off ebay, just needed a clean as the fan/heatsink were locked solid with some disgusting looking brown/yellow dusty stuff), with sha256 it is comparable to my 660Ti (about 100Mh/s) but in neoscrypt it really does kinda suck… only hitting 7kh/s after tweaking it for several hours, where my 660Ti gets 24kh/s at stock and up to 34kh/s after tweaks

                        funnily enough the HD 5670 i have is from XFX :P still holding strong with its 7kh/s so far (hits 74c, but the fan doesnt go up on its own, it stays at 25% unless i set it to something with sgminer startup config

                        soon im gonna be out on hols for 2 weeks, maybe more, do you recon i should perhaps downclock my cards slightly to reduce the chance of any crashes? hopefully i can get it to last 2 weeks solid without a crash

                          Been testing a new style for the site, you may check it out here;

                          currently i cannot get the in-page links to go below the header block (which is rather annoying tbh) so if anyone knows how i could fix that, would be awesome!

                          please comment on what you think of this style and any changes that could/should be made to it (there are probably quite a few)

                          note: the tables wont look like that with white/thick-ish borders, they will be made more clean

                              Yes, the 280x also has hynix, and that is part of why it beats the XFX. But XFX made a choice to put that cheaper memory in their card, yet charge the same price for it as other cards that have better memory. So I am making the choice to never buy another XFX card. :P

                              Yes, clock back your cards to where they will be rock solid stable if you are going to leave them unattended for 2 weeks.

                              And the new style is much easier to read than the old style!!

                                I generally stick with ASUS or Gigabyte cards, ive never had an issue with gigabyte, and their windforce coolers are great, 660Ti tops out at 70c if i turn the fan to min, and 57c if i put fan at max, and is silent compared to my i7’s stock cooler lol

                                Asus i find have better performing cards, ive not had an issue with an asus gpu, although i had a motherboard have its built in audio crap out, i didnt request a replacement as i already had a sound card for it anyway, but they gave me a refund which was nice

                                As for the style, im trying to keep it non blocky, and ill be changing it about a bit more tonight with rounded borders for tables and stuff

                                          I have to approve the submissions first (stops people spamming silly entries)

                                          Edit: also, where did you get your power value from? Is this measured at the wall or via gpu-z? As 80w consumption from a 180w R9 270x is a little odd :P i’ll assume you meant 180 and it was a typo unless you can prove otherwise :)

                                          Edit 2: I’m not sure on many of the specs, cores, power, datarate dont match to what an R9 270x has, can you use GPU-z (get it here: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2418/techpowerup-gpu-z-v0-8-0/) to get your information and re-enter it?

                                            Yeah, the bus width and stuff I had placeholder info, I was going to look it up and update later. I misunderstood how the submission worked, thought it would be real time and not big a big deal to update it right away.

                                            The power values are correct using under-volted cards. I measured a 4x 270x rig drawing 370 watts total from the wall, subtract the 50 watts idle for the system and divide by 4 to get the per card wattage.

                                            Edit: Resubmitted with correct values from GPUz.

                                            Also, I tried adding (Elpida) on the memory entry, so “GDDR5 (Elpida)” but there were not enough allowed characters in the field, perhaps you could extend the field length to allow a few more extra?
