That's the one! Also had a package from USPS take 8 days and an extra 1000+ miles from Ohio to me in CT

Well, I called again this morning, and they don't know where it is. So much for that 2day service + tracking. Perhaps it'll show up at some point. But it's now taken 8x as long as it should to make the trip from Illinois and there's still no knowledge as to its location.

At least you eventually get the package though. What I hate is when you receive something from the postoffice in a plastic bag that on the outside basically says 'oops.' That happened to me recently. I ordered something and granted, the sender didn't package it properly so it essentially arrived smashed and shredded in one of those plastic bags. 'Sorry for the inconvenience' or whatever. Yeah, no doubt. Sorry for shoving my foot up your collective ass too - oh, if only that were really an option. LOL

...maybe. There's been no sign of it since it left Illinois on Sunday. So maybe it'll show up or maybe it won't

 

[manofthem]

I also ordered something that was apparently lost in the mail, last seen in Missouri. It's not a big deal since it was a cheap movie off eBay, but still, I've had too many negative experiences lately

Should be interesting to see the PPD--ought to be pretty good I'd imagine. And even w/ the old HSF from the W3503, it's still running cool & quiet.

Finally got some UGM's!

I forgot all about doing a Network communication!!

DUH! Here I thought each time I pressed "Update" It was doing a communication....It's is not!!

Me So Happy!!

Your PPD may shrink. But who cares about that.

 

[Norton]

I can't get any ppd with this rig???

Spoiler

It's sad seeing a full w/c setup sitting with nothing to do... this condition is only temporary

 

[[Ion]]

Feel free to send it this way--Riga could use a case & WC setup

 

[manofthem]

All my rigs will be down tomorrow most of the day


LAN PARTY!

Tomorrow night, I should have 2 rigs back up and running.

My dual L5520 rig nets me 6000PPD so maybe around 5500??? I want two....

Yeah, I'm not really sure. I figured somewhere around 6k +/- 10%. My Estimator, which is obviously just that, says about 5900 PPD. Given that the 3930k is clocked not quite 50% higher w/ a superior architecture and gets right about 9k, my hopes might be a bit optimistic, but there we go. I can still hope

The X5670s are cheap--I got mine on Ebay for $85 shipped.

Am I missing something? My 2600K's are doing 6300 PPD. (you're actually at 6400)

 

[TRWOV]

The average just takes into account the last 7 days. RAC uses longer term data.

Well, 6K - 10% is 5400 , but yeah, a quick threats*speed multiplication says that you might even match my dual rig. Gotta upgrade soon or I'd be left out of pay indefinitely.

Certainly
Either way, for a system that has cost me about $130 total, I'm happy with the results that it should give

Jesus Bill, your going to have to rent/buy a warehouse before long to run all these systems.

Hella nice setup there!
You're gonna OC it right, and not leave the L5639 suffering away at stock??

What OS are you planning?

This is just a replacement for a setup that is now crunching away in someone else's farm

May leave at stock, not sure yet. Definitely going with Ubuntu for the OS

I've been very happy with Linux on my dedicated crunchers---it's really allowing the SB & IVB setups to spread their wings. Seems to help on the FX8 too. Only reason I went WinServer on the X5670 is there is some WinServ stuff I quite want to practice & teach myself.

Seems like with a board like that and a WC setup, not OCing would be crazy!

Sometimes it's better to plow the field than to push up daisies

Well, an upside to the UGM WUs is their remarkably low memory footprint: sub-50MB per WU running. Ideal for systems without much RAM; theoretically you could run a 12t setup on 2GB with room to spare.

Downside: Upload/download size. They're about 3MB each to upload and anywhere from 5 to 10MB to download. My entire setup running nothing but UGM WUs would be upwards of 6GB/day just for WCG. Not a problem for most of us, but for those with slow or limited data, something to consider.

I was tempted by this, $150 seemed like a nice deal. I think it's better in your hands though since you have other X58 gear, and I have been facing some electricity cost limitations, though the best parts of my farm are still online.

 

[ChristTheGreat]

Great news, got a deal on a 4770k and a Asus Maximus VI Formula, 375$ for the combo! More PPD when overcloed vs my 2700k!
