I see you bought that 2x1gb kit from Damian. Just wanted to let you know what if you ever need to RMA that RAM laugh and Corsair demands the third stick to the set, drop me a PM. I am pretty sure that is where the extra 1gb stick I have running with my 3x2gb kit came from Just thought I'd let you know.

without mindtelling i wouldnt be alive today, believe me

The X6 1090T dl'ed its first work units. I'm leaving it at 3.7ghz for now since I don't have the patience to do stability testing for a better overclock.

Fuckin' IOsmegma piece of shit KVM. I'll have to swap that out for another model - one which has a manual switch to let me pick which rig to look at.

@Wile E. - I can use the built-in W7 remote desktop utility I suppose but I like having direct access. I might have to use that in the interim though. Right now I'm unplugging the wireless USB dongle for the mouse and keyboard and plugging them into the other rig - and using the HDTV for the 2nd rig's monitor. Real pita.

I started logging in remotely because cheap KVM's are all, universally, pieces of elephant dung. It was either spend triple digits on a good kvm, or go the free route and log on remotely.

The added bonus is I set up a DDNS, forwarded the port on my router, and can now control my server anywhere I have net, even from my iPhone. No KVM can do that, that I'm aware of, anyway.

I'm tired and that made my head hurt.

CP, you can count those last 2 threats of the list and another ~18k PPD against the rest

Why you say that?

Okay, so we know "snoozing" the BOINC manager only lasts an hour, but what if you go to the activity tab and select suspend? How long does that last for?

 

[Chicken Patty]

I think it's till you start it again. I have personally never tried it though.

Chicken Patty is right. If you suspend operation it will stop until you resume activity. However, I've noticed that you only suspend individual projects, and your computer will continue to download more projects to work on. Just exit out of BOINC manager and restart it when you want to, that's the easiest way I've found.

Edit: Never mind, it suspends ALL tasks so no need to close/restart BOINC manager.

Until you un-suspend IIRC

Why you say that?

Because I have at least that much PPD and I came back to TPU

Awesome!

Boinc manager...

Is there any way to run WCG without the BOINC manager (similar to F@H)? I've shut down the manager and ran "boinc.exe" from my WCG directory and it's running two projects, but I'm worried about how well this is going to work. I wonder if it gives better PPD?

 

[f22a4bandit]

I think that you're running the same files on the .exe because the messages you're getting are the same that you get with the manager. I think the only difference is that the manager is a nice GUI.

 

[[Ion]]

Well it fundamentally works, but it's far more of a pain. And BOINC Manager is pretty low resource-use, so I can't see it doing much

 

[hat]

I would rather run the console client, actually. I just like it better... and it's easier to close it down right along with F@H whenever I want to play a game (although WCG doesn't get closed often).

Now... if only there were a way to get rid of the manager entirely and configure it through the console just like F@H...

I have a little problem... I downloaded last version of bionic wcg (6.10.58) to install it on my brothers laptop (by the way, I set it up to 20% of charge because cpu reaches 70-75ºC) and then I installed on my pc, but now the manager stands trying reconnect client and doesn't get work. I search for an older version but I can't get it here. Sugestions are welcome.-

 

[[Ion]]

Tried rebooting and/or reinstalling?

Tried rebooting and/or reinstalling?

Of course I already did it and also run ccleaner, but no succeed.

 

[f22a4bandit]

x2 on the reboot. Worked for me yesterday when my lappy was down.

Edit: Ah I see, hopefully Ion or CP can help you out. I'm too much of a newb to WGC to know much!

 

[Chicken Patty]

Sometimes new versions do that to me so I get a old one. Try "detaching" from the project an attaching again.


F22, thanks for confirming about the "suspend"

What error messages are you getting under the messages tab (in advanced mode)?

 

[twilyth]

Yes, and 'suspend' will even survive a reboot.

 

[[Ion]]

Yep...that I'm familiar with

The only system I ever suspend is my laptop (when I'm on battery)...otherwise they just run full load whenever they're on.

Except for 1 of the PentDCs @ school, it only runs when it hasn't been used for 15 minutes (it's used for presentations & such, so had to set it lower )
