I7 rig to replace that one.

[[Ion]]

That would be cool as well :)

Then we'd still probably be about tied for PPD :toast:

[Chicken Patty]

Yeah but that's not counting my next build. Buahahahahah. I'll see what I do.

[[Ion]]

Maybe we should try to recruit one of Fits' SR-2 rigs for WCG....maybe he'd spare one from FAH

[Chicken Patty]

Perhaps...

[[Ion]]

Considering he started this team, it seems reasonable :)

And that could be 50k+ WCG :eek: :toast:

[Chicken Patty]

I'll speak to him today and see what he thinks.

[[Ion]]

Sounds good, keep us posted :toast:

well, im interested too. wonders can happen!:D

;2065146']True...and it's a Friday, so maybe we're suffering from the weekend bug? :ohwell:

This weekend bug seems to expand more everyday. :laugh:

[[Ion]]

Well it's just a theory :p

It could be that it's just not one of our best rigs, my i7 setup was off several hours today (parents again :shadedshu)

[Chicken Patty]

Damn :(

[[Ion]]

Well, it was only ~3 hours, and starting tomorrow, I shouldn't have to worry about that for the next ~4-5 months :cool:

[Chicken Patty]

;2065213']Well, it was only ~3 hours, and starting tomorrow, I shouldn't have to worry about that for the next ~4-5 months :cool:

At the rate the i7 goes though, three hours it can do some crunching! :rockout:

[[Ion]]

True...that's about 12 hours on the C2D. Normally though, I'd be having ~10 hours of downtime a day, and after tomorrow I won't, so I think things are going to get better :)

...POINTS! Well, and of course contribution towards a cure. :toast:

Yep, they seem to be doing pretty well, the AMD X2 not so hot, but the 2.53ghz one should do ~750-800 PPD over the weekends when not in use :rockout:

[[Ion]]

I meant not so hot points wise :p

This one's in a Dell, so it's probably running far warmer than yours. All of the rigs I have going @ work are Dells...hell, all of the university-provided computers are Dells

No I know, I just stated mines because it came to mind and I am truly impressed it runs at 30-32ºc on a passive cooler!

[[Ion]]

That's quite impressive...w/ no fans on my H50 @ stock on the X4 955 I was at like 60c :eek:

Yes, the 295 and the 8800GS

[[Ion]]

Yeah....at one point, I had a GTS250, GTX260, and a 9600GT in my system along w/ an i7 @ 3.9ghz. I'd guess from-the-wall draw was ~500w...it sure made my room hot :shadedshu

Damn, it's pretty hot now with what is in my sig, I imagine adding another rig :eek:

I can see that...I had 3 rigs in my room all going full bore (i7 + GTX260, PhII + 8800, DP Pent4HT Xeon).....very loud and very hot :D

I at one point had three rigs, not for very long though. If everything goes right, I'll have the following next year:

Phenom II X6
Phenom II X6(upgrade for the AII x2)
Server rig (can't disclose plans just yet :D)

All the rigs except my main one will have folding cards distributed among them. :toast: At this point it'll be very hot :laugh:

On the other hand, I am up from 3.2 < 3.4 GHz on the X6 undervolted! :toast: up time has now been 12 hours because I restarted last night when my 3rd monitor gave me a error while playing crysis, something to do with the adapter. It's been fine after that. Before that it had been up 18 hours.

[mjkmike]

You can blame me for the numbers today if you like. I went on a cleaning hunt for dust bunny's. So every rig lost time then I had to keep them off when I clean the dust from the room. Next thing I Know main rig needs major help. That was my fault with the new drivers but still 14 hours down time.

Still: I just checked and I'm number two WTF?

[[Ion]]

Probably due to results still validating from previous days ;)

[mjkmike]

That is not good for us in the next few days.
ION Can you tell me why most of my big crunchers get high priority WU's and drop the ones they worked on?

[KieX]

Have a look at the Report Deadline colum on advanced view. If you have a work queue for a few days it might be that it was last in the queue but has a nearer deadline, so BOINC gives it priority to complete on time. It should resume the other ones right after though.

[p_o_s_pc]

i have had the same problem before. last time i had it was when i first built the rig. Last time it was caused by using a IDE DVD-RW. This time it was from having my External USB drive on. :wtf: seems that the bios is alittle flakey to me
but here is the good news

I had my 920 rock solid 4.0GHz @1.32v about 85C throughout all summer. Doesn't seem to have affected it at all. I did bring it down to 3.8@1.27v and stays under 70C for the most part. From my experience I'd say your temps are fine.

I've had the parts for at least 3 or 4 months but didn't finally finish putting everything together until yesterday. It will be my second 4Ghz (hopefully) X6 1090T. Interestingly, the mobo came PRE-OVERCLOCKED at about 3.7Ghz (Asus crosshair)!!!

This will be my first quasi-water cooled build with a Corsair Hydro 70 - but that probably doesn't count as a true water-cooled build.

Now I just have to figure out how to use the quirky IOmega KVM I have it hooked up to and we'll be rockin' and rollin'. Since I kept going back to bed until late this afternoon, today is probably out but tomorrow looks good.

If you can't get your KVM to play nice, just use TightVNC. I use it in full screen mode to control my server.

I switched my Linux system (2.4 C2D) over to HCC (from CEP2) and it's doing WUs in an average of an hour each :confused: :wtf:

The PentDCs @ school take ~3 hours each. C4CW is far faster under Linux than Windows, maybe HCC is as well?

[(FIH) The Don]

dont think im gonna let the server crunch

the noise is INSANE!!!!! and it takes like 8hours PER WU, it really isnt worth it

but mstenholm told me if i sold it i should atleast get something else to crunch

so i put it up for sale on our local forums

hopefully it can get me enough for a used quadcore

why don't you just replace the fans with something else even if you have to rig something up?

[(FIH) The Don]

dont have 8 fans :S dont even have 4

all of them in the server is deltas, so i kinda need to swap at least the 4 on the cpu area

and besides, they are hot swap fans

and the server pulls like 5-600w :O for what, 1000ppd a day, sigh

Given the number of power hitters on XS, going over there to help them is like donating to some rich banker. Yeah, I guess it helps, but think of all of the starving children on TPU. You definitely bring a lot of points to the table but that will make much more of a difference to a team like ours than XS.

I'm still technically a member over there and got that email from Movieman too. I thought about it for a minute but honestly, I'm too lazy to switch teams for just a week or two - not to mention the fact I'd probably forget to switch back.

Of course by coming back you are taking pie out of the mouths of those same starving children, but I think we can find some cake for them to eat. :laugh: :toast:

I didn't help. I found out that a 3rd machine was down for most of the day. In addition to the 9750 which hadn't finished rebooting since last night and the first 1090T that was low on disk space, it turns out that the new 1090T went into hibernate mode.

I forgot to fix the power options and change them from the W7 defaults so most of the day it did absolutely squat.

Out of 5 machines 3 were fucked. And I'm not completely sure about the laptop - I'll have to see if it returned any results last night into today. :cry: :shadedshu :cry: :shadedshu

I'm guessing you don't like going wireless. If it's just a matter of the pc not having wireless ethernet, wireless adapters are getting so cheap they'll probably start showing up in happy meals.

Personally I don't do wireless unless it's absolutely necessary. I'll run an extra hundred feet of cable before I turn the transmitter on.

[[Ion]]

Really? How come? I run all of my rigs over wireless and I must say that it works quite well & it's very convenient

[twilyth]

;2080726']Really? How come? I run all of my rigs over wireless and I must say that it works quite well & it's very convenient

I'm paranoid about security but aside from that, I dl a lot from usenet and wireless is never as good or fast as hardwired - especially once I install my gigabit router and switches.

[[Ion]]

Ah, where we live, no need to worry about people 'borrowing' our net connection. And for what I do, it's fast enough, if I want really fast speeds, I use my USB HDD :)

[twilyth]

;2080736']Ah, where we live, no need to worry about people 'borrowing' our net connection. And for what I do, it's fast enough, if I want really fast speeds, I use my USB HDD :)

In theory (don't know about in practice yet) a gigabit connection should be at least 2-3 times faster than USB. But I get what you're saying. I like to have at least one high capacity flash card around for those purposes. Right now the biggest one I have is 16gig and that seems more than adequate for most purposes. Before I had an HTPC, I was doing the sneaker-net dance with a media player - loading stuff on to it from the main rig and then running it up to the tv. Now I just make sure I do the dl's in place I plan to use them. 100baseT ethernet is mostly adequate for everything else - you just have to be a little patient. If the upper end of wireless throughput is still in the 54mbps range, that should be fine for most purposes too. My cable connection is only 15mbps anyway, so it's not like i really get anything more on that end. It just opens up some bandwidth for anything I want to do internally.

Personally I don't do wireless unless it's absolutely necessary. I'll run an extra hundred feet of cable before I turn the transmitter on.

I would rather run a wire because I can probably get the wire for free from a friend who has the cable and ends. But I last saw that over a year ago, not sure if he still has the stuff. I gotta check tomorrow with him.

Free is good. Is it cat 5, cat 6? Get the good stuff because gigabit routers and switches are getting cheaper all of the time - not dirt cheap yet, but getting there. I think you'll want cat 6 or maybe cat 5e - it's been a while so I'd have to check.
