Title: 85 mhs on a OC'ed i7-920 ?!?!
Post by: kookiekrak on July 29, 2011, 06:22:00 AM
I got bored and decided to test my cpu's mining speed.

Using Guiminer + Ufasoft + 8 core affinity, I'm getting an insane 85mhash!!!!!

the cpu is clocked to 3.7ghs.

hmmm. I would think high of 200 watts. Not efficient at all.

hmm are you sure that's 85mh/s and not 8.5? i ran my i7 for a few sec just to test it, and i got like 3mh/s lol

Maybe you have a GPU on the motherboard that Ufasoft is using without you noticing?

oh damn yeah you're right. i figured since it said cpu miner...

it was stealing from my 5870 and mixing it with cpu also

Yea when I first got into mining I tried cpu mining and my i7-960 was only producing around 8-9 megahash.

To truly test cpu, use these flags:
-g no -t 8

It will tell Ufasoft to use 8 threads, and to not use graphics cards.




Not efficient at all.
Agreed.
