@Dann Corbit sorry I missed your message ..Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 11:48 pm When you reduce the hash size to get higher NPS, is the time to depth smaller or larger on average?
I think it is possible that NPS is a red herring.
Depending on how they are counted, if a hash hit is not counted as a node, then it might really be a big slowdown.
If the hash table is pinned in memory and large, it makes no sense to me that reducing its size means more efficient computation.
I agree with you ..
I think the problem is the RAM channels
this system supports 8 channels
currently i am only using 2 channels (2 slots occupied) 64gb x2
now i have ordered 16gb x 8 in order to use all 8 channels

I will update the thread as soon as I can verify by mounting them if I have solved it
