$250.00 For a fellow cruncher.......http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/pc-for-sale.217582/

bubbleawsome · Nov 18, 2015

Dang, you guys have some crazy weather. Here in Alabama our days are still in the 70s sometimes, and the coldest night so far was about 45. It's cool enough to crunch, but the room still gets quite warm. Once I sell off some of my stuff (if I can) I'm thinking of moving from my 4670k to a 4790k. It'll be the last CPU upgrade this machine will see for ~2-3 years and I think the extra HT and the chance at a better overclock (my 4670k doesn't go much past stock) may make it worth it.

In other news I should be hitting 200 days of compute time in MCM fairly soon. Not sure if I'll hit it before the work runs out (running OET for the challenge) but I'm only 4 hours away.

??? You can ignore what I said about it ending.

Intel's 72-core processor jumps from supercomputers to workstations
Yeah, but will it crunch? :laugh:

That sounds epic! I'm eager to see how they work, but I'm guessing the price will be insane

Had a number of hardware changes this week. The 3770k is indeed gone, a shame since it was a nice system, but its value as a cruncher was less than the $660 I got for it. The second heatsink for the X3650 M2 got here today, so it's up and running on both sockets now:

I bought a presumed dead 1U Sandy Bridge Supermicro server last night and managed to revive it. It's up and running Linux Mint, but WCG is apparently down for maintenance right now so it hasn't managed to get any work yet.

Also--it looks like there's going to be a new project soon!

Thanks! Back up to full speed and that also included about two days of work dumped on both the X5670 and the 2600k :toast:

Seems I was getting an upload issue on one of my rigs:

11/23/2015 11:14:56 PM | World Community Grid | Temporarily failed upload of FAH2_avx101122-ls_000080_0008_011_0_20: can't resolve hostname

I had a bunch of WUs stuck at Uploading and/or Ready to Report. Took a reboot and it seems resolved now. But this does explain my why ppd on this machine was so low today.

Apparently, after our thrashing of OET during the last challenge, they are raising the white flag. OET now has an ending date of May 2016. Plan accordingly.

Well, that still gives another six months left

I sold off enough of my equipment since Saturday--three i5 3470s, the X5670, and an AMD APU--to fund the purchase of another dual Xeon E4667 V3 system with money to spare. So I've ordered the remaining necessary parts

three i5 3470s, the X5670, and an AMD APU don't add up to a dual Xeon E4667 V3 system with money to spare - to me.

Got $500 for the X5670 system, $500 more for a i5 3470 ITX system, $200 more for the APU and OEM i5 3470 systems. Add in the i3 2100 at $100 I forgot about, and $300 from Windows keys, and I'm well above the mark ($1650 for parts for the dual E5 4667 V3 system)

I seem to be getting a bum batch of the OET WUs--runtime is remaining mostly constant across my devices (except, of course, the 4P that's turned off) but PPD has crashed something fierce. Should (hopefully) be back up soon

Ion has four computers on Craigslist. There are 5,000 people viewing craigslist ads. If 3% of all viewers are interested in the listings and 67% of those interested e-mail him, how many Xeons can Ion buy with the money generated from the sale of the other computers?

Had an issue with the Xeon rig kicking back alot of invalid results the past few days - lowered the clock speeds down to see if that resolves the issue. Hopefully in the next few days I can see what kind of PPD this rig will contribute once the results are valid.

manofthem · Nov 28, 2015

Just realized that the ethernet cable on the 4790 got unplugged and had a whole lot of WUs unable to upload.

Just plugged it back in and they're uploading now.

Just sandbagging, right? If you say it with enough confidence, people will believe you did it intentionally.
