Did it make you want to buy an RTX 4090 (or two)?

The price goes down on July 1. Standing charges aren't going down significantly, but unit prices are. For a typical user, costs will reduce by around 20%, but we all use more than a typical amount :) Use more energy, you save more compared to today, use less you save less. I'm topping up my...

Have mostly not been crunching lately, due to the insane energy prices here in the UK (we're supposedly one of the richest countries in the world, but our energy prices have been the highest in the world). Cost is going down about 20% in July (still too high), and combined with no longer needing...

Where is it? Can't find it

Started for me around the time they released more ARP work.

There must be a delay in sending them info, as WCG say I passed 14M a few days ago, so BOINC should have me on 2M

I run mine 24/7, and still use less electric that the energy payment the government are giving us. Will soon have 2 more PCs crunching. An E5-2697V3 (14C28T) and an X370 with an ES chip (no production equivalent). The power they use will be part of my heating this winter, cheaper than gas and...

My queue is only OPN now, I guess the other projects have dried up.

So much for being back up and running. I have plenty of work, but have to keep retrying downloads, and most of the website is broken!

Just received an email saying WCG is officially up and running.

Still having that problem today. It's not to bad for me though - I can't work (ill health and disability) so have the time to spend clicking Retry every time I get a string of downloads.

The last couple of days, downloads have been fast and my queue has been full (1.5 days worth). I think it may have been so all week. Still not got round to setting up the Coffee Lake 6C12T system, hopefully this weekend :)

Just bought 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 for the Coffee Lake system. Going to try Win 11 on it, as it's my first system that should support it. It'll be my new daily workhorse as well. Not sure whether the motherboard is OK, as I bent a few pins then straightened them as best I could. With 8 threads on the...

I woke up this afternoon to find the certificate issue fixed, and probably 36 hours work queued (I have it set for 24) Will be setting up a 6C12T (ES CPU, similar to i7 8700) CPU this coming week. Not sure when I'll be able to set that up in the device manager (should be able to handle 3 ARP...

Realised that EaseUS Todo Backup can clone disks, so have moved my boot drive to the NVME disk. Not sure how much difference it'll make in speed, but it's double my old boot disk for similar cost to a SATA. disk. The SATA SSD will do for a scratch disk and swapfile (not that I need one), etc...
