was it a generic?
i dont believe anything other is dead... luckily it didnt happened to me in 6 psus dying;)

[stanhemi]

no antec earthwatt.My neighbour coming with is psu to check my pc. i wish it only the psu .

EDIT:ok so my psu and my zotac 9800gt are dead.

question: i buy my zotac 9800gt at best buy(canada) maybe 8 month ago can i rma the card i don't have the bill anymore but i have the box and all the accessories.where,i go to best buy or i deal with zotac directly.

[p_o_s_pc]

I got a AXP 3000+@~2.2ghz crunching now along with a 5kBe that crunches part time(my bros rig he doesn't leave it on 24/7) and i will have my main rig crunching again in a day or so when i reinstall the OS.

[Mindweaver]

no power at all,the psu smell bad.no fan spinning,no led.

stanhemi visit the website I've listed below, and calculate your power usage. To give us a starting point on what kind of wattage you need.

thanks Mindweaver :toast:

[Chicken Patty]

thank a lot guys

i let you know later tonight or tomorrow for now i need to relax (so mad)

My 9550 still need a pump (it ready to crunched at 4100mhz as soon as i found a pump)

E1200 dead psu but need to test the others part later

thanks

man If I had some spare cash i'd get you a least a cheapo pump bro, but damn im out, I got some money on the side to start on project "TPU Rocks My socks" :laugh: but I dont know if its going to even be enough :(

dead. get you a new one, but pray the psu hasnt killed anything other;)
hopefully another cruncher has a spare psu...

blewn cap? how old was it?

EDIT: today my output is close behind yours CP^^ the missing i7 surely is recognizable....

yeah bro it is man, crazy!!! its like 85% of my crunching :laugh:

[stanhemi]

thanks chicken patty your really a good guy and all of you too tpu cruncher (that why i'm with tpu):)

it just suxx i don't have a credit card anymore they take all of my card stupid bankruptcy:banghead: and the hardware are so expensive where i live :cry:

i try to find a cheat pump locally forget it.They have to order the pump and the cheapest one i found was a crappy thermaltake at 75$ + 15% tax it just too much for now.

same thing with the psu
exemple:
corsair 520 watt 135$ + 15% tax
thermaltake tr2 430 watt 55$ +15% tax (

i'm still on the phone with some friends trying to find a pump + psu + video card:toast:

I was able to get my slot 1 computer running as my router/dedicated quake server, which means I am no longer hosting Quake on my AM2+ computer. I was running WCG on both cores origioally, but players sometimes complained of lag and I pinpointed WCG as the problem and reducing it to one core fixed the issue, but now that my server is on the seperate dedicated machine I can run WCG on both cores again without lag issues for my clients :toast:

No WCG on the slot 1 computer. :p

The reason is obvious. Running WCG on that thing would interfere with the server... if someone wants to donate me a dual slot 1 board and a Pentium 3 750MHz SL456 I will happily run WCG on the extra processor. :nutkick:

I have a AXP@2.2ghz P4@2.6ghz P4HT@3. xghz(don't remember now) and my 4850e all 24/7(or damn near it) so i can see how i am about 7k ahead of you

[mx500torid]

If this has been asked I am sorry but i need a chart for output of different cpus. I have some old amd xp setups and wondering how they would do or even worth the electricity. I have been cruncing for a bit now and just this morning read that all my cpus were at 60% default use. Set them all up at 100%. I was wondering why my output was looking terrible. All duo cores cant quite afford quads atm but maybe soon.

[hat]

Well on my mom's pc with a Sempron 3000+ it took over twice as long to do work units as it did for my pc. To be honest I wouldn't even bother running WCG on anything less than a dual core. You can maximize your productivity by building machines with quads instead of duals. 1 computer with a quad core is better than 2 computers with dual cores. Maybe not so much in performance as duals tend to clock higher, but certianly better with price, heat, and power.

I agree with that, especially with the power savings. Although once I got my Quad I couldn't bring myself to turn off the dual :D 6 cores>4 cores

[theonedub]

$20 on top of the Q6600 as courtesy for trading. At stock it performs the same as my Q6@2.7

With the 2 GPUs I have folding I figured I need to cut electricity somewhere- I also clocked the mem and core of my 9800GTX+ down.

i've been doing horrible these past days, plague with instability even at stock clocks. I was about to take apart the rig and start RMA'ing stuff when I figured, holy shit! I have a sound card, whats my onboard audio doing enabled? So far so good after disabling it. I'll keep you'll posted.

LOL. It's amazing how we forget the little things. The other day when switching out an i7, I got distracted by one of my daughters as I was putting my block back on the chip. I went and dealt with my daughter's percieved emergency. I came back, and booted up into the bios. I just happened to check my temps. The damn thing was at 92c. I was like WTF!!! Then it dawned on me, I never tightened the block down....:shadedshu:laugh:

OK guys. Looks like it will be Monday before my 3rd i7 cruncher will be up and running, since I'll be waiting on some parts. I'd like to thanks live/bing cashback for this 3rd i7. I've made enough cashback over the last 4 months to pay for the entire system!!

yeah man, stuff like that happens all the time to me, just normal I guess. BTW, I think my sound card is dead. It usually has a red light that turns on when it powers up, the light doesn't come on and windows won't pick up the sound card. I removed all drivers and files from registry for creative, and i'm back on onboard. Tonight i'll try it on my buddies rig to confirm it is the card, and if it is see if I can RMA it. I'll have to contact the person who sold it to me see if he has the receipt or something.

[Velvet Wafer]

i believe my onboard audio hates heat too... after adding the heatkiller, the mysterious bluescreens vanished, i had them only on time at 4 ghz;) i think i will work it out!

I've been having mysterious reboots of my machine lately too. :wtf: I looked in the event log and saw that it had spontaneously rebooted at least a half a dozen times yesterday (the final time it went into recovery mode). The culprit seems to be the Roxio Media Manager (installed with my Blackberry Desktop Manager); I uninstalled it and now I'm holding my breath. Rebooting every couple of hours sure doesn't help the RAC any. :banghead:

[Chicken Patty]

yeah, well sound card is out. I took like a one hour nap, came back to find another BSOD, same one "machine check exception" I'm starting to think it's the damn board. Maybe my PCI slots are dead and thats why the sound card is not been read. Yesterday I was loosing internet connectivity, i'll reboot and it'll be fine. These are signs of a dying board aren't they?

[p_o_s_pc]

I just got an offer from a friend for a Asus M2a-WM and a x2 4200+(clocks to 3.2ghz stable) for $30 If he still has it next week i am for sure going for it... if i get that i am also considering getting another Socket A rig going. I have a board lined up for it and i have the ram but i would have to get another PSU and possibly another HDD(not sure if teh extra one i got still works)

but 3 x2s @3ghz and 2 Socket A @2.2ghz and 1 p4@2.6ghz and 1 p4HT @3.1ghz wouldn't be bad points

[Chicken Patty]

its addicting it isn't is POS? ;)


@velvet, theres not much heat, everything is fine now at stock clocks. Maybe it was just not stable. but i'll see. I'll leave it at default clocks for a bit and see how it behaves.

[p_o_s_pc]

@CP it sure is addicting. I have even looked into a Core i7 but i can't bring myself to spend that much money for crunching and for gaming and stuff i don't even need anything more then my lil old X2

I'm just going to stop there before i give myself more ideas and end up with 10rigs crunching.(hell would feel cool compared to the room they are in)nice thing is the room all the rigs are in are on there own circuit not shared with any other part of the house :D

[Velvet Wafer]

no, i dont^^ i only work at a railroad-restauration... we work with nearly only heavy duty, but it isnt a big training. i dont do sports, and smoke a lot of pot. I dont know,
but i always accused my bones of beeing extremely hard,while beeing much lighter, and slimmer than normal bones. i never broke more than a toe. not even my finger. i never was in hospital. but my forearms thickness is only 3/4 of the lenght of a lighter^^

(i drink body building supplies sometimes, without doing sports. it helped me to gain 6 lbs :-D)

edit: i do improved martial arts for fun,on my friends.im very stretchy and able able to do the legendary one footed raise, and im 3/4 the height of professionals already;-)

EDIT: Pospc, im a mutant. i bet you will have a hard time to achieve the same weight/height ratio without you feeling really,really sick and tired^^

Here is a link to what was going on, also a few pics of the new home for my E7200 rig (new case)

Awesome:)

I'm down for a day while I sleeve my cables :D Went to the mariners game instead of finishing and so HDD's are out and graphics needs its 6 pin but ill be back!


show us some pics of the sleeving when done :toast:
Awesome:)

yeah man, I had to stop by my house during my lunch hour and both PC's are still up and running how I left them yesterday. I feel lot better now :toast:

I know that feeling... everythings alright,youre no noob, your rigs dont crash;) love it!

i talked another friend with an x2 and forced another with a p4 laptop, to crunch... makes a total of
1 organised rig, quadcore,24/7
4 unorganised rigs, random run time, a core duo, an X2,an xp3000+ and a p4 2.66ghz
3-4 planned rigs, 2 are sure. at least dualcore.;)

i need more crunching dedication among my friends... lets see what i can do...

[p_o_s_pc]

my rigs have been damn stable so far. testing them with Linpack seems to be doing great for them. I can't wait till i get my other x2 up and overclocked so i can crunch on it

[Chicken Patty]

thats great velvet, thats some crunching power already :toast:


My rigs are tested with 20 Passes of LinX, takes about 25 minutes. My E7200 rig has been crunching like that since I got it up at that standard, and so far my i7 rig. Looks like it don't fail :D

I test my rigs with atleast 2hrs of OCCT linpack and that hasn't failed me yet.going to do that when i get my other rig up also

i used to just use WCG as my stresstest, but I wanted quick stability so I just run LinX, it's great. Heats up my CPU more than anything else.

exact configuration that i use... 50 iterations linX, 20 minutes.... wcg for reasonable long time testing. if it even can pass 25 iterations, it should pass nearly every time.

yeah, LinX stresses it to the point WCG or anything else won't. So I use 20 passes, but I increase the problem size and memory usage, so it takes about 25 minutes. I use at least half of my RAM available.

[Velvet Wafer]

i use 768, it doesnt really differ if memory is at 70% load or at 90.... mem is never the first to fail me^^ mosfets are my problem i think... after ripping of the ramsinks, and placing an old ravaged mosfet cooler from an asus board on it (sticked it together with a thermalpad drowned in mx2 ;-),fixed it with the 12v cable powering the board... decreased my crash rate by 50%. i only crash 1-2 times a day now...

tomorrow i will take a look at several older procs reaching from p4 to x2, lets see if i can get a deal ;-)

you remember now?^^

OT:
error - invalid function exit code (0x1)
on my friends x2.... i told him to delete the work units... will this solve the problem? rig is stock.

I fixed my mom's computer. It got to the point where I wouldn't even get any video from it. Me and my uncle looked at it and noticed there were blown caps all over the video card... that could cause freezing/locking up eh? :p

As long as it goes without skipping a beat for a while I can put WCG back on.

I will be doing the same to my i7. I will be building a AMD Quad powered rig, the i7 will do nothing but crunch. I will be looking for a cooler to have the i7 back on air. The existing water cooling components will be used on the upcoming rig.

I have the same procy crunching at 100% with stock cooler. Temps range at 49-51 degree C.
What I did was disabling cool and quiet and disabling CPU fan control in the Bios. Another thing I did ...actually I got my bro to do it...blow a can of compressed air over the cooler to clean out the dust. Man, it made the temps go down by upto 2degree C.

I am planning to put a Zalman CNPS 9700 on this baby.;)

don't shut it down. I leave all my rigs going. If your worried about it set them all back to stock settings for the 3days. You will have lower #'s BUT its better then none. I run mine all the time even if i'm not here or not. When i was out of town i left them going (was gone for 4 days)


BTW my #s are going to be lower because i had my 2 of my X2s down today for cleaning and overclocking/stress testing. I try to have cool running and stable overclocked rigs. When i wasn't working on one of them i was running OCCT linpack on it. And then when i was done ran it again for atleast an hour.They all pass without a problem.

I got you covered. Send me a PM. :)

Edit: woops, you need a 4GB set. I've only got a 2x1GB set. As far as the ram goes, it really doesn't matter. All of the truly great DDR2 is gone. Anything that is 8500+ is at least going to be high binned Elpida IC's which will get the job done. So, honestly go for the cheapest set of well rated 8500's.

I posted this over on the F@H side... So, I'm posting it over here too in hopes someone has used this ram or know of better ram that is cheaper... I'm broke.. lol :toast:

I've been battling RAM (2x2048MB XMS2-8500) issues with my Q9550 rig that also powers my GTX285... I ran Memtest, and received 17 errors... So, I've taken out those two sticks, and put the 2x1024 XMS2 in, and have been folding, and crunching strong with out BSOD... :toast: To cooler days!
I'm thinking about buying this set http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146789
If anyone can think of a better set please share. :toast:

I'm running 2x2048GB XMS2-8500 on my Q9550 with a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P OC'd to 4GHz with no problems. I'm running them at 475MHz 5-5-5-15 at 2.1v.

His name is Aki.
He is now 10 months old and a great dog~

Heh... I just had a dream that somebody gave me an E8400 and some proprietary motherboard for nothin.

[Velvet Wafer]

that would be better than your actual set:D

[Chicken Patty]

that's a cute puppy hammer :toast:

[Chicken Patty]

guys puppies are going to suffer. I7 rig is down. Putting new vid card in, but having some issues. I'll revert back shortly.

[Velvet Wafer]

can you specify the issue?;)

If I will, you guys will laugh.

All of my rigs are crunching while I'm camping, though they are running at stock. I still think my points are kinda low for 3 i7's. Maybe one of the stopped running BOINC. I just won't know until I get home tomorrow.

How many points are you getting? On the road now so I can't check.

Oh, The stability issues are fixed man, flashing to the latest BIOS did the trick. CPU is kicking ass man! :rockout:

Good to hear. So, is it true that the computer develops a telepathic link with the user when an i7 is running at 4GHz?

My numbers look low for yesterday (a little over 2,000) and seem to be low this morning. I am hoping that my i7 rig didn't fail:(
Two days ago I had over 4,000 Bionic points~
I guess I will find out when I get home this evening as I do not have a telepathic link with my i7 at 4.0GHz:cry:

It was brought to my attention that Loonym, an XS member that help us get our team rolling, has fallen ill once again.

It's been awhile since i gave any sort of update here so here is the latest on my situation. I've had a couple unfortunate setbacks. This most recent round of chemo did nothing except make me miserable, the mass in my bladder has continued to grow as well as the growth in the surrounding lymph nodes. My oncologists don't feel that there is any more to be done at this stage. Also, my pain has been getting substantially worse and there have been several severe pain episodes in recent weeks which they say are related to the tumor growth. We've decided to discontinue any further treatments because of these developments. They feel that it will be better if they simply focus on pain management and quality of life (translation: keys to the script pad and pharmacy) since treatments have been unsuccessful. The local hospice agency I applied to for help has turned me down since I currently do not meet all their criteria for acceptance so I'll remain on my own for now. I haven't been around much and maintenance of the crunchers has suffered greatly because of recent difficulties but I will continue to do what I can.
My best to all, Jon

I let him know that we are thinking of him and thanked him once again for the helping hand he lent us.

Yep i7 rig was froze when I got home. It was running but windows 7 was "stuck". Couldn't even ctrl+alt+del ~ nothing. So I re-booted and everything seems fine. It had been crunching for at least 8 days.......

hmmm, probably needs a slight bump in vcore. BTW, my i7 rig is down for the count, another board that a power surge takes from me, I just don't learn, I need a damn battery back up bad!

[Velvet Wafer]

in germany, you see a power surge maybe 2-3 times a year. maximum;)

so im out of danger^^, and im happy to be not the only one who has a rig that needs more hits with a stick,than vcore:D

Its very sad to hear about Loonym's illness. Now that he is not responding to chemo, its our well wishes and prayers that could make him feel better and help him. We have to acknowledge the fact that eventhough he has fallen ill and could give this as an excuse to stop crunching, he DIDNT. We have to remember the values that he is doing this for...though not for himself. The fact that he dropped by to help our team grow is a great thing in itself and we should consider ourselves to be lucky.

Team,

One of our own is battling against this dreaded cancer. Its time to wipe it out from the face of the earth. We have the technology and hardware to do it. LETS STEP UP A NOTCH. BE IT CRUNCHING, BE IT FOLDING.

[p_o_s_pc]

i added a Phenom 9500 X4 to the mix now. it is poorly managed but it does run almost 24/7 so it should help out alittle

Well, I just got home and found that one of my i7's was not crunching for a couple of days that I was gone. Damn! So, my stats are not representing what this i7 mini farm can really do. It's good to hear you've solved your instability issues. I figured it was something other than the chip. That chip was just pure gold, and never saw out of spec vcore.

[p_o_s_pc]

Loonym i wish you the best

btw i added another rig. This one is a Celeron D 3.3ghz

EDIT added pic of the names of rigs for proof that i have alot crunching... I did edit the names so identity wont be shown :D

i'm still going to be bringing the rig down, RMA'ing the Board and CPU when I get paid. I have a few things to do and I just rather wait till next Monday to send the stuff out for RMA. THe rig is running, but I don't want to risk it. 24pin both on board/psu look slightly burnt/brownish.

how does it smell? that says everything... hot or burned?

[Chicken Patty]

messed up, Board and PSU. I'm still debating, it could have just been a surge, but it works fine, its crunching at 85& non stop. I just don't like what I saw, however doesn't mean there is anything wrong. I don't wanna be down a few weeks especially when the rig is running perfect.

doesn't smell, just looks slight burned, but I don't even know if it was like that before :laugh:

i would say, exchange psu, clean the board, and only rma it, if it starts to give real issues... if your board is already damaged, it wont get killed more by a new psu,than it already is;)

the puppies, CP... you remember? they will haunt you in you darkest dreams :D

yeah the board has like 3 years I think and the PSU has to be fine, if not it would show some signs already. I think I might just keep it unless if gives any real troubles. I don't wanna have nightmares about the puppies in agony :cry:

I can just RMA my board, honestly I wouldn't trade my board for any other, seems that this board has been able to clock as good as others to a certain extent. The more BIOS updates they do for the board, the better it gets :D.

do you think for my bday a nice gift to me from me would be a i7 rig? if i can pull it off i am strongly considering it. If i can't get the money for that then a PII X4 could also be nice

BTW it seems that power outages hit alot of people today... Poor puppies

So i am going to ask myself for a i5 or PII x4 and new board...If i go PII i will also pickup a cheap PSU to keep my current rig crunching if i go i5 i don't think i will have the funds. I still have about a month to see what i can come up with and to see if anything happens to the prices

Well currently the cheapest i5 is going for 209 @ Newegg and it can overclock to 4.2 on air!..hehehe but no ht... but you go up to the next level of 1156 socket and it's 860 for $299 with ht. If you go with PII i would hold out for the price drop.. they are saying the 965 will drop to 199 or below by the end of the month. I like either.. hehehe

im at stock cooling, 3.6 GHz and crunching at 50%. My numbers will suck for a week or two.

The 860 i7 1156 socket has ht and will do 4.2GHz... The MB's are cheaper priced too. But your right if you can get a 920 for $199.99 that's the way to go! Very nice overclock bro! I wonder if they are all D0 chips? Did you buy yours from there at that price?
