Those crucial drives look pretty good, bang for the buck wise, so try that out. Also there was a good deal on a Sammy drive, 850 Evo 256gb for under $100. If I had the cash, I'd buy one. Plus if I had an extra drive I'd trade you, but I don't have a single extra drive at all, ssd or had. I hope you get one soon and get it sorted

Edit: here it is, posted in the hot deals section earlier.

If only I had the cash. :banghead:

Don't do anything, your system has peaked and wont produce anymore than that and will continue at maximum production leaving a flat line.
As long as it stays high it is all good.

That is not the average but the total CAPS are showing. Take a look if your pending list is getting bigger.

Sorry, I just saw it is user total, not average he is looking at.
He can go to the Projects tab and click update for WCG to see if the figure changes.

There are many jobs pending, but i set a 4 day buffer i think.
My www is super jittery at the moment, i have been getting 0.5 mbps ( d/l and u/l) frequently over the last couple of weeks so thought it prudent.
Maybe i am doing something wrong in my settings?
Tasks are running ok, 8 threads at 100% on task manager, everything rock solid.

@Caring1 projects shows "communication deferred" so my www IS the issue?

I have shut it down for the time being, ISP said it wont get fixed before Sunday :banghead:

i would like to, i cant work, so funds are tight especially with a couple of kids.

t_ski · Apr 17, 2015

Sell the kids off for medical experiments (lame Monty Python reference)

Apparently I paused BOINC on the i3 though I don't remember doing so and never resumed it. Didn't notice til tonight when its points were zero, should have been watching it more carefully.

Let it run, you shouldn't run out of tasks and it will give you a boost in numbers when it does upload them all at once.

@Caring1 My net is back up to a glorious 6.7mbps today so we will see what happens.

I thought i would miss the motogp qualifying today because of my poor speed so at least one major panic has been relieved.

If your network is bad, then I'd encourage not running the CEP2 WUs. They're ~20-25mb each to upload, so that takes a LONG time on many connections. FAAH might be another one to avoid; the WUs aren't particularly bad to upload (less than a mb each) but depending on your system they can finish really fast (sub-30 minutes often) so the cumulative effect is a fair amount. Something that takes a while to run like MCM or UGM might be your best bet.

CAPSLOCKSTUCK · Apr 18, 2015

@Caring1 seems the problem is resolved, bloody internet, i hate it !

:toast:

thanks folks. :lovetpu:

Krakow, another dual-E5620, has joined Bratislava and Prague. Now we're looking at ~25-28k PPD for $60

Also, Hamburg, a uSFF Dell that I had going, went down in early March with a bad fan. It's been reconstituted as an i3-3220

just got the MSI H81M-P33 35$ and found a Pentium G3258 for 40$, I already have 2x 2gb of 1333 ram, I have old HDD, PSU.. WEll, making a small rig with this xD, will find a very small case, so I can maybe put also the HD6850, or without, but a hidden crunching rig in my house. Don't tell wife

yeah, well the 6850 is a Sapphire with custom cooling, should be not bad, In my basement it's fresh, but I'll see as it's also my backup GPU

Got my FA@H 20y badge and with that, sig rig has completed its last workunit around 2 AM this morning. It's seeing consistently low temps for the first time in years. 99% sure my pump is about to give out, so it's probably a good thing. Rest now, weary cruncher.

Nasty thunderstorm rolled in this afternoon. I shut down one of the pcs when I got home for fear of the lightning. I think it's back up now :laugh:

I think the rest of the week is supposed to follow today's pattern; output may drop if so. :rolleyes:
