Scary? More like "I think we have GPU work again"

You got my hopes up for a minute... :cry:

I hope we get some more of these Beta's - I just noticed that I'm now over 11 days!

Awesome! I got something like ten days worth of them today--now just about two weeks of runtime away from the gold badge

If any USA members need a good cheap cooler. $15 on newegg tonight.

Looks like another Hyper212/Xigmatek Gaia equivalent. A great price and they work quite nicely.
Bought one :toast:

I believe it is just barely a step up above those. By the way, this was the first heatsink I ever had to read the instructions for. Performs great.

I found this mega deal on E-bay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Core-...Hz-6MB-LGA1155-CPU-cooler-paste-/181251251628

Any red flags? I know it is very cheap, but the guy is in good standing so, I don't know. He does not do returns though so that may be a bad thing in case I wouldn't be able to get that CPU "24/7" stable.

I might go with this instead:

Should give decent performance and is supposed to not be too power hungry. I suppose Windows 8 is a bad idea for BOINCers? I am asking because I will need a new key anyway and wondered whether Win 8.1 would be worthwile over Win 7 (esp. since it is an UEFI board).

[Ion] · Nov 8, 2013

If you want a Windows 7 key I can get you one at a very reasonable price :toast:

Also, I have a potential new cruncher in the works--stay tuned for details :toast:

Peter1986C · Nov 8, 2013

Thanks mate.

I will send a pm about that soon.

And cool to read about another cruncher being added to your farm.

Win8, or 8.1, still works on UEFI boards, to the best of my knowledge. The board will just not support the "Instant On" feature due to older design features...something about Compatibility Modules? Anyways, that is what I remember from something I read, sometime ago.

Also, not positive, methinks win8 is a bit more efficient, across the board...BOINC, Gaming, Task Manager...aside from the stupid Metro, supposedly a better design with 8.1.

Still haven't made the jump to 8.1, lethargic? Maybe. Unwilling? Likely. Afraid of the Danger? :cry:

Indeed! It might finally be time to retire the C2Ds, but we'll see....

Norton · Nov 8, 2013

Anyone close to a Microcenter?

Would love to get a couple of these boards:

http://www.microcenter.com/product/383658/A880GZ_AM3_880G_AMD_mATX_Motherboard

They are rare atm and for $29.99 they are a steal!!!

FX support up to FX-8350, 880G/SB850 chipsets, and mATX (better setup than those 760G boards)

If anyone is near a Microcenter and is willing to grab a couple for me please let me know!

brandonwh64 · Nov 8, 2013

New cruncher up!!!

librin.so.1 · Nov 8, 2013

Time to update that siggy, eh?

Edit: I say, do I see a new project - Mapping Cancer Markers?
And is it just me or did WCG change its site layout a bit?

[Ion] · Nov 8, 2013

Yup, I just saw a few WUs for it on my i3 system!

All of my systems have been switched over effective immediately

Badge time

And yes, the site layout has been changed--not sure what I think of this

Here's the new page for it:
Mapping Cancer Markers and here. It's also from the University of Toronto (just like HCC was) so I'm hopeful that it will also be GPU-accelerated

brandonwh64 · Nov 9, 2013

Man this CPU runs kinda cool. About 49/50 deg at 100% on a crappy stock aluminum cooler

TRWOV · Nov 9, 2013

Do any of you knows if HCC used Double Precision (FP64) in GPUs? Was thinking about going for a R9 290 but it seems that AMD has duped FP64 to 1/8 (it was 1/4 on 7000 series).

If MCM is indeed GPU accelerated and it uses FP64 I think I'll be getting another 7970 instead.

HCC scaled nearly linear vs number of SP's so I don't believe DP is an issue*

*case in point- 7770's have no DP capabilities at all iirc

[Ion] · Nov 9, 2013

Yup, that sounds right. I don't think it matters for WCG so much as the supercomputing activities.

Nordic · Nov 9, 2013

Oh oh. My 4770k is not downloading wu's. Going to work on this tonight.

Nordic · Nov 9, 2013

I got my 4770k crunching again. I had to remove the project and re get it. Don't know why.

New project? Mapping cancer markers?

Peter1986C · Nov 9, 2013

There is a description of the project on the WCG site.

Started a Thread over here:http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3013849&posted=1#post3013849

I am wondering about a mild O/C of my lappy top.

Please advise, if you have any advice pertaining to this.

Thanks, can't find anything in forums or websites that aren't over a year old.
