Hyperhorn Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Damn SoF, that's useless. I think it works only for AMD, not Intel-CPUs. I followed the description, but it had no effect at all (except my HDD began to smoke ). I heard you need double as much files because of SMT. Am I right? I'm afraid to trash my only backup files left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.nfraR.ed Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Yes, I think your files should be threads/2, but no less than 2! So in case you have Gulftown, you need to produce 6 files, not 3 like with Thuban. About the smoking hdd - keep in mind you should not copy them too fast or your hdd will get hot and eventually burn. I had blown a usb flash drive this way and lost my 8.7GHz validation It was the "cut" step. On high-end intel system you need to wait more time between copy/cut operations, because the cpu is faster than amd cpu. Makes sense, huh?

I'm afraid to trash my only backup files left. Not sure about Intel, I think it only works with 5700+ CPUs on Watercooling with 1.6V+ and temperature between 23.25 to 38.11°C depending on your CPU. I am too stupid for that as somehow my CPUs won't work on my cascade which is the only cooling method I own - I am afraid to damage my hardware with water Oh and sorry to hear about your loss - should have told you it stresses HDD a lot...

knopflerbruce Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 I also heard that this tweak doesn't work if you're wearing matched socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
