Figured it out. The motherboard I won in the contest doesn't support CPUs over 95W. Which means this Phenom 9750 won't post because of that. So I tossed the Athlon X2 back in for now.

Damn, anything you can think of to fix that? Wish I had a board to trade you or something.

Radical_Edward · Dec 10, 2011, 01:42 PM

There's two things I can do really.

I can sell the Athlon X2 and the Phenom X4 and then buy a new 95W X4, or I can sell the Athlon X2 and the current mobo and buy a better motherboard. But If I'm going to do that I might as well sell the DDR2 and go with a newer board with DDR3. I plan on doing that with my main rig as well...

Yeah, if possible go with the DDR3 option. DDR2 just seems out of it already.

Radical_Edward · Dec 10, 2011, 06:36 PM

Anyways, anyone have a spare mobo handy then? I'd rather buy one from a TPUer than Newegg.

Damn man, nothing that accepts DDR3 at the moment. Only one I have is a matx that takes DDR2.

I'm having problems with the new FX8150. The problem is with boinic , it just will not access Internet. I keep getting certifacate errors. Did a fresh install, updated to version 6.10.58.

As far as CPUID Hardware Monitor says I have a FX-8130 and not the FX-8150 I payed for. CPU-Z reports a FX-8150

Radical_Edward · Dec 11, 2011, 01:42 PM

That's just strange. Where did you buy it from?

try an older version of boinc

usually works

for the chip, only way to be sure is to look at the chip it self

mjkmike · Dec 11, 2011, 06:06 PM

I keep getting this.

This is the 3'rd version of Boinic I have tried.

Chicken Patty · Dec 11, 2011, 06:08 PM

Only thing I can recommend at this point as far as BOINC is to try an older version. The date/time is set correct on the PC?

THX CP.

Fixed the date/time.

Now just have to put the 955 back into the M4A785-M and find a hard drive and power supply in my junk room.

Common thing that is overlooked, has happened to me before multiple times.

. I don't have any hardware laying around this time. Actually have everything in use.

ChaoticAtmosphere · Dec 14, 2011, 11:06 PM

I'm not sure why but my numbers have dropped drastically in the last few days any idea why?

mjkmike · Dec 15, 2011, 12:07 AM

I'm getting alot of work units that take 10 plus hours. If you are also, it would cut down on the amount you report every day.

That shouldn't change the point numbers, though...

Asuming nothing has changed on your computer recently I'd say start with running the BOINC CPU benchmark again, as that forms part of how points are calculated. I normally do that whenever I notice a dip on a rig's output and seems to work.

They do try to balance the points/time but in reality there are some projects which run more efficiently than others. My farm can fluctuate from 26K to 34K depending on projects (i cycle through them nowadays)

Very true. Chaotic stated a drastic drop, which led me to believe more than could be caused by switching projects, but you could be right. I would suggest going through this order until the problem is fixed:

1. Check Free-DC machine stats to figure out which computer is causing the drop.
2. Check BOINC log. (Advanced->Event Log or Ctrl-Shift-E) Look for error messages or other strange notifications.
3. Check projects on the WCG site. I'd suggest running multiple ones, single projects can run out of work occasionally.
4. Reboot your cruncher.
5. Rebenchmark CPU from within BOINC.
6. Reset the project from within BOINC.
7. Reinstall BOINC.

Thanks guys. I think running the bench's is a good idea. I'l try that first then I'll try the 7 step program.

ChaoticAtmosphere · Dec 15, 2011, 12:43 PM

It's looking better already

brandonwh64 · Dec 15, 2011, 12:46 PM

My PPD has slowed down due to my athlon was not stable at 3.6Ghz and constantly rebooting at work. I have set it back to stock and its crunching along on all 4 cores but with a slightly lower PPD. I will try to get it back close to 3.6Ghz stable when I get a change.

Radical_Edward · Dec 15, 2011, 02:19 PM

Stock is better than nothing.

I ended up not taking the CruncherX2 to work, it's still sitting here taking up space and heating my room.

If anyone has a 95W X4 cpu that'll work in it, let me know. I'm currently on the market for one.

Mine is happily crunching away under my work desk

I game on it sometimes at lunch but most of the time it crunches

Radical_Edward · Dec 15, 2011, 02:30 PM

Yeah, I plan on moving it to work soon, but I'll have to hook up a KVM switch as well.
