Running 34 Tasks at once - the Threadripper project begins

![IMG_5429.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV2ax52naggDCG8QceULthyvHfDe64iXhDx58Kvtv7RyN/IMG_5429.JPG)

Finally... My Threadripper CPU has arrived! I built the system yesterday and fought with windows the entire day today. After struggling for over 6 hours and hitting the same blue screen over and over again, I decided to go with Ubuntu for now. 

As soon as I fired up Boinc and registered for the first project - I went solo now! - I saw 34 Tasks running at the same time  and almost fell off my chair.

I have meanwhile changed my cpu project to LHC and added GPUGRID as well. 

As I have not found any posts about someone using a threadripper 1950X for Boinc tasks, I plan on making this a series and maybe gathering some data about my magnitude and rac per project as I am now able to work on 8 projects at the same time with 4 tasks each. This allows me to directly compare the earnings of all those projects simultaneously and obtain more reliable information.

So leave me a comment in case you are interested in seeing a comparison of the projects. Keep BOINCing!

Hi,
Powering Up is not the best option today. Default 50/50 rewards plan is better. for more info you may want to take a look at the following post

It would be very interesting to know. I am going to buy a new computer in the near future, so the information will be useful. I'll wait for the news.

I just set up a 1950x machine with my 1080 Ti's.  Anecdotally, I've found that there's a balancing act to ensure your CPU projects don't starve your GPU projects.  Even though lots of projects like to say "0.1 CPU + GPU" or things like that, I've found GPU projects seem to need a lot more CPU than that.  For reference, I can run 2 GPU SETI tasks, plus about 20 World Community Grid CPU tasks with none of them stepping on each other's toes.  It's a Windows 10 box, and when I monitor CPU usage, it generally hovers around 70%.  If I start to push things and add more CPU threads, that's when it starts slowing down other projects.  But again, I haven't rigorously measured any of this, so it's possible there are combinations of projects out there that perform better.  I'm just too lazy to do the min-maxing. :)

Hi, I had the same issue with Seti before. When I was running any other project, my GPU usage was always at 95-100%, however, as soon as I started using Seti, the usage dropped dramatically and the mag likewise. For me, this was project dependent and as soon as I switched to amicable numbers for example, I went straight up 100% again.

Threadripper is amazing, and nice cooler you have too. What cooler is that?

Is that a 1080 ti beneath your cpu?

Hi, it's the NZXT kraken x52 and a GTX 1080 + 1060. I also really love it right now as I feel like I am able to do whatever I want with the PC without ever getting any stutter :)
