I have those coolers in my possession- I will ship them to Canada if someone from there wins one (UPS usually changes a small but reasonable premium from here)

Maybe I should mention that those are the only prizes I would be interested in. If I do win Bill I can pay for the delivery cod or set something up in a pm. Chances are I would donate my 212 evo during the next round and pay for the shipping myself. Those are some sexy looking coolers is all.

We can hammer out any details on the prize drawing approaching/after the end of the challenge. Until then, crunch onward!

Just sharing this here. I haven't been keeping as up to date as I should have, but I just saw this and thought it was exciting!

Great work, we need to keep it up though: no slacking... or intense pc gaming :laugh:

[Ion] · Nov 18, 2014

And we're doing pretty well in the MCM & UGM sub-contests!

I feel bad enough that I have to use my work pc while I am here. There is no way in heck bar a natural disaster that anyone is touching my home pc (while it's crunching) or.......

Doc41 · Nov 18, 2014

damn, nearly everywhere in the world is stormy and cold and i'm still using an A/C :wtf:

[/rant]
since my brother is not here i borrowed his PC for the challenge so now i've got 2x i5 750's and an i3 3220 running :toast:

Well, if you want to send me the Device Statistics from your two PhII rigs for at least a week each, I can do some better estimations

Well then, I'll have to fire them up. For SCIENCE.
(They actually share a motherboard. I'll do the X2 first since it's already installed. Would you prefer Windows or Linux? If I put it in a VM, I could do one core on Windows and one core on Linux.

Well, the output should scale exactly linearly with the number of cores/clockspeed. If you wouldn't mind doing one with Windows and one with Linux, that would be awesome :toast:

Is there a way to get Boinc to report faster? I'm sitting on 6 or 7 wu's that are ready to go but look to have been stagnant for some time.
Looks like S.G. and E.S. are slowing down a bit while we broke 6 mill. We are doing so awesome guys. Lets keep atter. :toast:

Norton · Nov 19, 2014

Short answer- just click "update" on the projects page of your BOINC manager.

Longer answer- you can insert some code into the cc_config file of the manager to report results immediately... Windows or Linux?

Windows on 3 rigs Linux mint on the Kreij cruncher. Update worked. Thanks @Norton

Alright, so Linux keeps the cc_config.xml file under /var/lib/boinc-client
Windows (Vista/7/8.x/10) keeps it in C:\ProgramData\BOINC
Download the auto-report cc_config.xml from here (it's in my Dropbox; it's safe) and copy it to the correct location, depending on your OS.
Then open BOINC and click Advanced->Read Config Files

EDIT- [Ion]'s method is easier- here's the way to do it manually

To do it automatically in Windows....

- Shut down the BOINC Manager
- Go here and edit the cc_config.xml file:

Add this text:

<cc_config>
<options>
<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>
</options>
</cc_config>

Click save and restart the PC

Linux is a little more work but essentially the same process...

mjkmike · Nov 19, 2014

As far shipping goes I will help with any and all. Think the grand prize is my old rig so still up for all. I don.t care will pay to get it too you're door US, Canada,Or that F$%^& comet. The EU is that %^^&& place just so you know, Just PM me.

Odd, I am not finding a cc_config file in BOINC?
Do I need to create that xml file?

Or you can just download the one I linked

But yes, you need that file in order to set values in it

Tallencor · Nov 19, 2014

Cool. All methods saved. Thanks guys.

i3 would likely do a little worse than a 960T but probably use half the power. An i5 would give a decent boost if you can swing it

Thought about that but not enough cash left after buying a new appartment.

We should start a dedicated cruncher in need paypal accnt. Moderated by the Cap'n of course. Take a vote on who needs something the most and make their day. I'd donate regularly.

Nice idea, and thank you for expressing your trust in me, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with something like this unless we had a subcommittee of some sort to oversee activity of such an account....

The committy would have to be made up of the highest ranking well respected teammates with overall time ppd/w/m/y etc. Putting the vote into 5-7 peoples hands would ensure fairness. Discussed in private with an announcement after the vote should be fine. Maybe a TPU moderator would help calm concerns? I believe that if a person is willing to donate funds to a Cruncher pot they should wholeheartedly have trust prior to donating that said funds will be used accordingly. After all, if after a decision is made, and they dissapprove they no longer have to donate. The results of the giveaways are quite fair and I have yet to see anyone on here offer anything but the deepest amount of joy at their peers winning. We donate to the world as a whole for science and the betterment of mankind. Surely we can trust each other to make the right decision when it comes to our team.
Not to single anyone out but I know one Cruncher on this team that is contributing to this project selflessly/regularly with threads and stats that, in previous conversations, has proven that he/she is here for all the right reasons.
Edit: Hey Buck. Your a mod right.

stinger608 · Nov 19, 2014

I think it is a great idea! Good idea Tallencor!

Bill, if you didn't feel comfortable doing that we could all get together and vote a 3 or 5 person "board" that would oversee the account. If one left and a new one was voted in, it would just need to have the account password changed.

I'm all for the idea, but want to remind everyone that this initiative is supported by individual Forum members and is not sanctioned by Techpowerup/ w1zzard and therefore TPU cannot be held liable or caught up in any drama related to it. If members would like to see a Mod on the board, I volunteer for this responsibility. I got some extra money in my Paypal that could be put to good use.

I agree 100% and thanks Buck. Sorry if I put you on the spot.

If this comes to fruition, know that I will donate continually as timing and funds permit, would be in full support of Buck, Norton and further board members decisions and knowing that this may take some time and effort on voted board members part, support this project wholeheartedly. So very exciting. Not to jump the gun or anything but :lovetpu:
