one question for the 110v users,probably mostly americans:
are surges a real problem for you? i dont want to provoke it, but until now, i never had a real surge... i believe the last 3 years not even the power went out one time...but it can be so, because im only about 200km away from the nearest nuclear reactor

 

[hat]

No, but I doubt voltage has anything to do with it. I would say it has more to do with the quality of your electricity supplier, and being lucky with conditions that can cause a surge, like lightning strikes. All my shit runs on surge protectors, just in case.

 

[Radical_Edward]

Same here, surge protectors are just something I use just in case. Also, if lighting rolls in all my shit is unplugged the second I can do it. Sure, my shit is insured, but I rather not have to go thru that whole shindig with the insurance company.

Okay - so here is a question for ya...
Why can't I see my Devices in free-dc stats? I have the box checked in WCG Profile:

Anybody else having this problem?

 

[mstenholm]

Yes, it has been so for some days now. Check mine - they have gone too.

Got a X58A-UD5 up and running with my "old" and trusted i7-920. The bios is new so I'm testing OC now doing some crunching.

haven't had a problem in years. Make that since i moved.Where i used to live i had a psu taken out and another time the psu and mobo(that is when i used cheaper psu's that shit themselves when there was even a small surge but now i know)

Keep up the great work brotha.

Thanks, I plan to have many more days like this

still having issues with my i7. I get random BSOS about ever 2 hours or so.
good news is i have a interview at UPS on the 28th.

I hope you get hired, that would be great!

Free-DC is having issues w/ that ATM, I'd use BOINCStats (www.boincstats.com)

 

[AlienIsGOD]

So, Ima get my 8 y.o. duaghter a netbook for XMas. My question is an Atom N450/455 worth crunching on at all? It would be set to full usage as my kid only would play internet games on it. just wondering if its worth putting it on the netbook....

 

[[Ion]]

Sure....it's probably ~200-250 PPD. Better than my dedicated cruncher (~175)

I have not been able to download any projects since 10/24. I downloaded the latest client and installed it, but still no go. What else can be wrong?

 

[theonedub]

Since 10/24/?! Thats odd. Just a little while ago the servers were unavailable, but its working for me now. Sure you didnt have to reset your Network Preferences in the BOINC Manager?

What's the BOINC messages tab say?

I think I got my answer since my last post.

Joinded =D Though my laptop is tiny and feeble, I shall endeavour to leave it on all day long to trundle its way through its dinner of number-crunch spaghetti...

It don't matter what you crunch on it all goes to a good cause!

Awesome!

I started last year on just a Pentium M laptop that did ~175 PPD, now I can do ~8-9k on a good day. Just wait, you'll get addicted

Welcome aboard bro, make sure you check out ION's essetials thread linked below his post in his signature, has everything you need to know.

fok

Just had to retire my mom's Sempron 3000+ machine. I opened the chassis up to do some cleaning and noticed quite a few swollen/leaking caps on the motherboard; however, I swapped her power supply out (Antec Smartpower 400w) and put my crappy 400w Powmax from my server in there. Now that my server has the Antec, I can put my 8800GTS in there and fold on it until my uncle decides to buy it.

About the Antec... it's one of those Smartpower models that has the high pitched squealing noise. Anything I can do about that, other than change the PSU?

Don't think there is anything that can be done about it bro...

 

[(FIH) The Don]

open the psu, and put some nailpolish on the coils

My PentM has been retired (probably permanently)

I found it off last night, now it won't turn on. Not all together surprising, it started acting up about a hear ago and I've barely been able to keep it going since then. I'll try to revive it later if/when I have time

 

[Chicken Patty]

Damn, all these rigs getting retired

 

[[Ion]]

It's only ~175 PPD, I've brought ~10x that online over the past week @ work
