I will have reached my crunching goal this weekend.It took me 43 days longer than i was shooting for . Probably could have had it no problem if my house had a bigger breaker box .But it's been a great year crunchin for the best Team around.The next few weeks i will be doing some major hardware re-arranging and probably dispersing of a few machines.What,for sure,i'll end up with crunching for TPU with is unkown at this point in time.I will stay crunching,just going to try and cut back a bit and recoup some hardware funds.
When i started crunching it was just a big # game for me.Through out the year of being more aware of how cancer effects the daily lives of people(i.e. Stan hemi ?,Loonym R.I.P.)
I can honestly say that my attitude has changed.
I dont know if any of you have ever seen annabelle(Loonym's daughter)so in case you have not,http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w265/Monkeyboy2U/Annabelle.jpg.
Be-ing a father of 2 daughters my self,it ripps my heart out every time i think of annabelle losing her father to cancer,and Jon not being a physical part in her future.So i no longer crunch for #'s rather than for cure.I would like to give Loonym and TPU a big THANK YOU for my attitude change that also will make me a better soul!

That was very inspiring ~ thanks

Well guys, it's looking like I might have to start crunching only during the day now for the most part. The power bill finally came around and bit me in the arse.

When it cools down soon I'll go back to crunching at night as well.

woke up, first thing, huge headache, then....hmm whys there no music from my computer, then go over to it, and it just smelled of burnt hardware, iand i was like FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK !!!!!
then i swappede everything
nothing happend
i almost cried
and then!!!! the post woman came with a NICE package
containing a psu and other goodies
plugged the new psu from KieX in, and BAM, it worked
im happy

 

[Jejking]

What a coincidence she stepped by, a bit too much hehehe.

High temps?

 

[(FIH) The Don]

nah think the combo of running a oc'ed 470 with a oc'ed Q9550 was too much for my 500w PSU

but yeah it was damn lucky she came, didnt expect her until tomorrow

 

[Jejking]

Oh dear. Looking in my Thermaltake Armor case I see... an Antec 500w. Well the load from the wall is about 250w including the TFT so that won't go anywhere

 

[(FIH) The Don]

nah, i was pushing it for around 480w, shouldnt be a problem, but its been hot tonight i think, dry throat and such, so it might just have been too much for it haha

im just happy it didnt kille anything else

you should be good, no need to worry, antecs are good psu's

 

[Jejking]

Trust me, I wasn't Was able to trade my Antec Earthwatts 430 for a EW 500, considered the efficiency is at its highest around 50% I hit the sweet spot now. Doing everything to hold back the power draw while still maintain a powerful system

 

[(FIH) The Don]

what you got in the system?

 

[mjkmike]

Glad the rig is back Don, That post must have made you're day.

 

[Jejking]

A BUUUUUUUUUUUUG. Just kidding.

That X2 555 BE C3. Stock 3.2GHz @ 1.43v, now 3.2GHz @ 1.25 with 4 cores enabled under a Corsair H50, can't OC right now cause I have some strange memory issues (4x1GB OCZ Reaper 10666, CAS6) and a HD5770 undervolted but almost at stock as well. Keeping the temps nice and low.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

thats a nice decent system you got there, should handle most if not every game pretty well

im thinking about building something like that for a dedicate cruncher/gamer rig for when friends drop by

Glad the rig is back Don, That post must have made you're day.

hell yeah, almost started crying hahahaha,

 

[mjkmike]

[Jejking]

Oh noes. I need more situps and magic Bruce Lee style crunches, fatty fat fat!

You should, it's a very good system and also quite cheap. Handles everything you throw at it pretty easily

 

[mjkmike]

Nice edit jejking, I must log off to let the other rigs have internet and report for a friend.

you can delete posts, just go to the edit and then there should be a delete option somewhere

yeah ive had bothe the pII x4 and dual 5770s before, loved it, then i went i7, and back to PII, and now Q9550

[Chicken Patty]
