Electricity quality isn't that good here so some sort of protection is almost a given requirement, these AVRs have saved my PCs quite a few times.
Didn't know about the relay delay although I don't know if the CDP units use mechanical relays or not as they're silent. The only way to tell they are correcting voltage is thanks to a buzzer (emits a PC like beep sound, not clicks). I have a smaller AVR connected to my secondary rig and it emits clicking sounds so I think it uses mechanical relays. They are made in Mexico (or at least this particular unit is) but I guess internals are from China (everything is anyways). Since I won't be playing games anytime soon due to the challenge I took the GT430 from my main rig and put it in the Phenom rig to do some GPU work. EDIT: huh? GT430 isn't supported??? I just can't win, can I?

yeah, I have a 4670 and 3850 that could do wonders but they don't support DirectCompute.
Also, I don't know what I did but all my pending WUs show as "Aborted: not started due to deadline". I had to clear the CMOS while troubleshooting the GT430 issue, I guess that's related? How can correct this? Or I can't?

Did that after clearing the CMOS
I guess I shouldn't have tried to get the GT430 to work... ![]() OK, let's bit this bullet and get done with it...

I didn't think this was worth creating a new thread, so..
I'd wondered what I could get out of a free-tier Amazon EC2 server. I'd googled it and saw some other people talking about it and there are (apparently) preconfigured packages for BOINC, but no one ever said whether or not it was worth it. Well, I've managed to set it up and complete one unit. If you check the spoiler, I'll let you be the judge. Found this guide after the fact. It appears that unless you're willing to shell out a bit of money, you won't get much. My free-tier account allowed me one Intel Xeon E5507 core at 2.26 GHz and ~600 MB of ram. Spoiler
Edit: I should point out that free doesn't mean "Free as in Free Beer" here. It's free as long as you don't use many resources. I can't stress this enough. MAKE SURE TO READ THE SERVICE AGREEMENTS.

My opinion- I build what I crunch on. However, it does offer a way to crunch for someone with signicant fund raising skills- it also offers a way to continue to contribute if you don't have the hardware or are suffering under extreme power costs to crunch on your own hardware.

The HDD of the only dual core machine in the office went down
Was raking a nice 200RAC. Hopefully I'll be able to recover the boinc data. Good thing it's a dumb terminal and moved our applications to a small server about two months ago.

I bought this to replace my 4870/4850 combo (roughly the same performance) so I could crunch again. Do I have the crunching bug?
![]() Edit: I guess I should point out it's a HD 5870.
