BADGERGATE...........the truth !!!!

@W1zzard

@peche

Yes i started the badger thing. In lieu of badges i merely provided badgers.

it all started here.....................
http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/milestones.94182/page-368 post 9189

The members who know me here on TPU know my real name is Ger...........

does this make me a BAD Ger ?

Respect to all who crunch with TPU or otherwise give charitably.................... or indeed those who fight to save the lives of these beautiful, sociable creatures which the UK farming industry wants to exterminate.

Google badger cull.......its truly horrible.

Could you shoot these ?

Peace and love to all.

RIP my Mum, taken by cancer aged 48.....she would have loved Badgergate.............smile on Mum.

That I got my Badge it doesn't mean that we have to stop supporting the Badgers

And everyone who supported me.

That's awesome @Knoxx29 !!! It always helps when your in other parts of the forum to announce your status; well I think anyhow. It tells everyone that your are an active WCG Cruncher for Team TPU and proud of it!!! :respect:

I remember we were chatting about how windows 8 gets about 10% more performance over windows 7 in crunching. Was it @TRWOV who was saying it was because of better floating point performance?

I also remember that and I am seeing close to that with my rigs. Win 8 and my linux rig are pretty close in average ppd with the win7 rig just about 10% lower.

Might be true. My 4770k @4.3 gets considerably better performance than my 4790 @3.8. Discounting the small OC edge, the only difference is the 4770k is Win 8.1 and 4790 is 7.

yup, better performance overall. Pretty close to Linux now.

Caring1 · Mar 1, 2015

That type of info is almost exactly what is needed to build the best crunching rig possible.
If there was a list like that for all processors it would make the task easier.

manofthem · Mar 1, 2015

It looks like Free-DC is going to update late, presumably because of the whole WCG bring slightly off earlier. Pooey.

Um, Wisconsin sucks.

However, I do like the state and most of the people I have met there.

But, I am a MN sports fan. Nuff said.

The laptop has joined.

Thought I should add that it's running 24/7 @1.2ghz while staying under 90c.

stinger608 · Mar 2, 2015

Well, while @manofthem is basking in the nice weather, a camera somewhere caught @Norton shoveling snow this weekend................ :roll:

ChristTheGreat · Mar 2, 2015

well, the xeon might not be crunching for a long time. My boss said if I have no offer on it ( as it is too loud for my home) he will offer me something xD

for now it is 100% during the day. soo ad it is not silent

ChristTheGreat · Mar 3, 2015

hey guys, what about having boinc running on a SSD? I might remove my 2 WD BLack and put a 3rd SSD into my rig (OS 64gb, data 120gb, Games 256gb) and I wasn't sure about it..

How's the writes of BOINC?

I think it writes quite a lot of small files which i think it's worse for an SSD. You could put it on a USB or SD card. If it breaks the USB you can just get a new one for $5-10

I am running it on my ssd with no ill effects. But have heard it can be detrimental because Boinc does do a lot of writing. I am thinking of trying to move it to one of my hdds in my rig. Just need to see what my plan of attack would be to move it. I am wondering if I can move the files then do a reinstall and install it to the folder I make on the hdd and it will pick up where it left off or do I need to run it out of wu's and just do a new install on the hdd. Also I just read that the one project that may cause the most harm is cep2 as it can have very high write loads. Upwards to 70 or more gb per day. So if you don't run cep2 you probably won't due any harm to the ssd in the lifetime you may have it.

Going to just going to wait until after the challange so in the worse case I won't have it spooling back up during the challange.

manofthem · Mar 3, 2015

Seeing as how everyone has badgers, I think someone should take my Godzilla avatar and mix in a badger for me, maybe throw a badger head on him or something... or make a badger is that same pose.
