@Brandon can you rma it one time then sell it off? Atleast you will get some money out of it for your trouble. But of course make sure it works fully when you get it back. Also what command did you run in terminal?

chmod +x 1.sh

^^ As soon as I pressed enter the screen went blank. I doubt it had anything to do with the code but it was just a timing.

I will not RMA this board again I have already spend 24$ in shipping alone. another 12$ I could just buy another 775 board or better.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

True.

Hey Popswala...Just wanted to say thanks for the Teamviwer idea. Free software saved me from buying a KVM switch!!

 

[brandonwh64]

Installed a KVM switch on mine today! Looks so good

I have a radio very similar to that one. Don't think Mine has the lights on the cd door but everything else is the same. Glad to hear that kvm is working out for ya. I need to get one eventually for system builds. It'll be much easier till you can get it running and be able to use teamviewer on it.

Just took a couple shots of the new gaming/cruncher with no flash....

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

It looks awesome CA.

Here's a shot of my gaming/cruncher.

I join this team with the following cpus

Intel 2860qm-happily running at 2.9ghz
Intel t-9500 at 2.53, older core 2 tech
Intel u-7700 at 1.33ghz, the first of the core 2 cpus
and
Intel 920xm ES running at stock 2.0ghz

I can not for the life of 920xm ES overclock it. It is running at stock 2.0 and still overheats to 94C, it is attached to an Asus g73jh. I have cleaned and repasted that laptop so many times it's nuts. It takes me 2 hours to open it up and clean it, I hate it. I think that ES cpu was designed to run at super high voltages. If it was a normal processor it can be overclocked to around 3.2-3.4.

If anyone asks, yes I am a laptop person. All the cpus are laptop processors.
But I have been running Boinc for over 7 years.

Nice collection you have there

I have a bit of laptop parts left in the closet if you're interested (T8100 cpu, misc ram, XPS M1530 partially stripped w/bad mobo, etc..) I'll give away most of the stuff to help out a fellow cruncher

You can send me a PM if you're interested...

Welcome yotano!

Glad to see you're from planet earth like the rest of us!

United we stand, divided we fall.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Well most of us are from Earth. Not sure about that pops guy JK

Yes welcome yotano. Did you have a stock pile of completed work unit's you cached up and turned in today or something? Really nice numbers today.


@Ca what cooler is that your are running on your fx rig? ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-R? I really like it and must haz one.

 

[popswala]

Not sure about that pops guy

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

LOL man.

You are bang on with the cooler. The CNPS 9900 Max Red LED.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Cool he be going on my wish list right now for a future purchase. Thanks man.

It's a really nice cooler. Check my first post in my build log. I compared it to the Noctua D-12 and sound for sound and aesthetics for aesthetics, Zalman CNPS Max won.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Nice. I will check it out. I think it will look nice with the bright blue lights in my case and that subtle red glow. It will look like a heart pumping in there.

Just purchased an i7 875k, Gigabyte P55-UD4P, and Palit GTS450 from Bogmali! I can't wait to get them and get them up and crunching!

Any suggestions on a cooler that would let me OC them?

Funny you ask....lol.

I recommend the Zalman CNPS 9900 Max. Come in blue and red led. Noctua D11 bla bla bla is just as loud if not louder with it's 2 fans and the noctua hinders ram clearance whereas the design of the Zalman allows for ram heat spreader more than the noctua. plas the base on the Zalman is a mirror finish. Check my project build log for some pics

That's...umm...rather expensive. At that price, I'd rather get the Antec Kuhler or Corsair H60....or a Hyper 212 for half that...

But if your seriously intent on a good air cooler when overclocking, I've done my homework and the CPNS MAX wins....even over Zalman's CNPS12X.

40 Dollars more? Worth it? Yup.

and the Blue LED is ot a special price just for you [ION] >>>> ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-B 135mm Long life bearing CPU C...

Looks like the WCG website is down. I have piles of completed work units backing up on all of my rigs waiting to be reported (won't go past "uploading" stage)

 

[popswala]

I just checked and I have some waiting for upload also.

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

same ^^

I like the way the boinc client tells me my internet connection is screwed. :/
