AGH! I did not try that coupon!

But I tried another coupon that worked that took off the same as sales tax

 

[Arjai]

Cool!!

It's been a while since I have had any of these!

 

[librin.so.1]

@Arjai You lucky dog You!

EDIT: OH WAIT! I've got some, too!

 

[t_ski]

Maybe now I'll get my silver in BETA's

ditto, just s/silver/ruby/

 

[Nordic]

Psh! Betas while I am have my big guns down!

 

[mstenholm]

ditto, just s/silver/ruby/

- not many of these around and this one is mine . With the pace that I got beta silver I have to a - crunch to I get 200 yo or make an insane upgrade. Got three betas in this round so there is a long way to go.

 

[Norton]

Psh! Betas while I am have my big guns down!

There's only 1300 wu's in total so they're likely already gone.... I got 4 of them.

 

[ChristTheGreat]

Well, I have slowed down my 3 main computer, the G3220, 2500k and 2700k from 100% to 60%

Less heat, electricity, and "damage" since the 2700k is clocked to 4.5ghz 1.32v, I'll maybe wait till the WC setup will be ready to push it back to 100%.

I will have a good drop on PPD, but it is only for summer. Going back on automn at 100% to heat the office

A break... finally! I was getting worried...

I think I only needed one for my silver. Been sitting at 43+ hours for months.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Well, after 3 OS installs and a corrupted bios update, the i7-870 is up and running WCG again. Currently clocked at 3.8ghz/1.38vcore/66c on water and has been stable all day. Had to install windows to get everything optimized, but may install Linux if it runs stable for the next few days. I'm running this rig in the dining room, due to the heat from the servers in the spare bedroom. Trying to keep the temps down on this rig.

Hello fellers, just threw up a WTB thread for a cpu.

http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/i5-or-i7-sb-iv.201457/

If any of you guys wishes to unload an i5/i7 to a feller cruncher, please keep me in mind.
Thanks

soon, I'll pass you, soon

So team, can you maybe through a suggestion my way. I got a free broken amd a8 laptop that broke because it was jumped on by a child. I couldn't get it to show a picture through its hdmi port, so I figured the motherboard might be broken too. I took it apart and checked, the motherboard is intact and looks like it is in good condition. While apart I took of the broken screen entirely from the laptop so now it is just the keyboard body side.

Its only external video port is the hdmi. If I can fix it, I have a free low power cruncher. I am out of ideas on why it wont show a picture at the moment, so here I am picking your brains. Can anyone think of something I maybe should try?

I've seen it where a bad palm rest would keep a laptop from booting. Can you removed it, disconnecting it completely?

The touchpad? Once I figured out how to open the darn thing, I was good, and now I can take detach anything. Hp used about 30 screws when it only really need 6, at least when I put it together.

Tomorrow my 4770k should be back up and crunching. I've been messing with my pc for several days now after that leak, changing and moving stuff, and tomorrow night looks to be the night.

 

[Nordic]

Tried to get all my systems back up and crunching last night. The 4820k went up, but 2500k and celeron can't get internet and I don't know why yet. I don't have time to troubleshoot, as I will be gone for a week on a work.

The palm rest usually means the touchpad and the entire area below the keyboard. Depending on the brand and model of the laptop, it could be a fingerprint reader, speakers, IDK what else. Most laptops that means the entire top of the shell around the keyboard. Sometimes there could be a short somewhere in that.

The wires used to connect the keyboard and touchpad to the MB, are usually very small and delicate. Replace, or Sister, them and it might solve the problem.
