what is it that you do for a living my fellow dane, been wondering about that lol

 

[theonedub]

May I ask what brings you to Nigeria?

^ beat me to it

 

[Velvet Wafer]

ah, dont wonder, Mstenholm is a Lord of War, and has quite a lot of work to do... Denmark,Columbia, Jerusalem, Mexico, Egypt,Russia... and Nigera... the Man travels internationally!

I work for a company that makes cement factories. The job takes me around the world 150 days a year.

Wow!

Just added 600MHz to the effort today. I put my server with the Celeron 430 in it back to work as I had no luck selling it... and I decided I would try the 800 -> 1066 BSEL mod to get it to 266FSB, as the motherboard is shit and clocking in the BIOS yields a 200MHz increase to 2GHz max. The mod was successful and I am running a 6 hour linpack on it right now to see if it comes back strong (which I think it will).

Nice
I hope to be getting 1 or 2 more duals up and going @ work Friday

It's starting to get cold again....I might bust out the phase for a heater lol

Might as well it would cost the same to heat the house lol

 

[Radical_Edward]

I used my rig to heat my room last winter, worked great. I wonder how two rigs will warm this room up.

 

[Velvet Wafer]

i will get an e2140 rig the next few days... will try the bsel and vid mod for it too, the board has not much real OC options
thanks for mentioning it

TY

Now to become a powerhouse cruncher without GREASEMONKEY's help. Should be getting up the C2Q Q6600 again before too long...IIRC that was not quite 1.5k

I have a very, very strange occurrence for you guys, relating to C4CW on my i7 under Win7 and Ubuntu.

First, we have Win7. Not quite 4 hrs per WU, ~95-100 claimed credits, ~75 granted.

Approximately 20 points per hour per thread.

Next, we have Ubuntu 10.10 RC. ~2.5hrs per WU, ~60 claimed credits, ~45 granted.

Approximately 18 points per hour per thread.

Now, why this huge difference in runtime and pointage? It's the exact same setup (3,83ghz i7 860, 2GB DDR3 1456 dual-channel). Only difference is OS.

The Win7 setup gets slightly more points per hour, which is what I would expect, because it uses all 8 threads, vs ~7.5 under Ubuntu

 

[Chicken Patty]

You have the motivation to be one bro

It's real easy. I just bought a windows defogger repair kit (~$13 as opposed to ~$20 for a conductive ink pen) and used the conductive paint to connect the pins. Electrical tape is your friend.

lol

My goal is to get pie at least once a week, I figure with 2 quads, 2 duals, an i7, and some assorted other stuff that shouldn't be unreasonable

maybe ubuntu is more efficient, but uses lesser threads from your proc... i only can guess, because i dont really know much about linux distributions in any form

the free e2140 rig, i just got, has 2x2gb sticks ddr-800! these alone are worth quite a bit!

You indeed are right my friend!
i popped out the e2140, went into the kitchen and got me little bit of aluminium foil, went to my tool bag and took out the Ponal wood glue... i then created this:

i popped back in, and it works happily at 266fsb, with 1.22v.... i might try more later, if im confident of its stability
again, thanks again, for reminding me in exactly the right moment !
(sry for the flashed pic, just took a quick snap )

you bone them?:

EWWW thats mean^^ i prefer my girls alive, and unbutchered

Do that on my Droid all the time too

I really have no idea, I'm going to stay with Win7 because the PPD is ever so slightly better, and it runs FAH-GPU better.

Nice w/ the E2140 rig, I hope that can boost up your PPD. I'm coming for you, and I won't stop:

i hope so, and im glad you are finally getting around to really push me off my rank
that was a promise, you made quite a while ago!
I have no I7, and the best possible happening is, that i aquire 2x 5000+ X2s,1 or 2 e7400 + some random 65nm cpu, if someone has one and is willing to give it to me for a small bargain/free
i dont think im able to hold you back much longer, even boinc tells me i only have 72 days left... if i throw in the e2140 rig, i may be able to make that 90 days,about 3 months.
Your chances are good, especially because i plan to use all my current money to buy me 2 used gtx 275... the 2x 8800GT simply dont cut it anymore, and the more often i see pixelated models, i hate it i want 1920x1080 AND AA, dammit!

aluminium foil

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Why didn't I think of this? I spent $13 on a windows defogger repair kit to get the electrically conductive paint

my method was prone not to work, and only now, that it does work, its the better method.
but i still bet your mod cant be accidently removed so easily like mine... i also will get problems when trying the vid mod, because of the small amount of space available to glue there in the midst of it all.
i will try the 1333 mod tho, should not be too hard to glue a small stripe down there

I hope so too. I figure it shouldn't be too long, I still have more unexploited power @ work

4 more duals for you should be enough though

And consider GTS450s, they're far better in FAH, and about the same for games. Or 2 GTX460s. I'm going to replace my (damaged) GTX260 with a GTS450 before too long

yeah, me 2, but its nearly impossible to get boinc on the rigs down there without installing it hidden, as service... my mum sadly knows what the blue boinc symbol means

hell no, first, i wont throw nvidia more money in their hungry throats, by buying new stuff of them, if its evidable. second, i get the 275s for about 100 euro each. and third, i dont fold, since i found out that folding really kills your cards, whereas crunching does not kill your proc/mobo/ram that fast. my first semi dead 9500gt was enough for me, no clue if folding damaged it, but its possible... it will fold, and run aero perfectly... but dont try to game, you get CTDs all the time. and it did not do that when i started using it (it was merely half a year old when the crashes began)
thanks for you trying to help me, but this time, i guess, im set
(I get the cards together with a hd 4870x2 for a very,very,very good price from a really awesome member and cruncher )
