Make sure you use your WCG username and not your e-mail address.

Edit: had it backwards. Fixed that now.

Boinc 7.2.42 fix my problem, ty.

 

[Dicfylac]

That is crazy!!!! I would like to have something like this haha

[Doc41]

wow a lot happened since i last logged in 2 days ago

I will regrettably have to turn off half a dozen computers for most of tomorrow (dual-E5420, dual-X5672, i7-4770, i7-860, one of the i5-2400s, and the i5-520M)--but I'll have them back up ASAP.

A power outage is in progress.

ISP still having issues here

my mobo died

I had a near miss with my 4P. My son was in a rush to get something out of my home office and knocked it over when I was downstairs and didn't say anything

and we seem to have challenges within the challenge, stay strong Team TPU and aim for the podium

 

[Bow]

I lost some ground also, storm knocked out the power for a couple hours last knight, only 1 PC running until I get home from work.

 

[brandonwh64]

I installed a new GPU in my work machine and forgot to start bionc back

Its back up now!

@night.fox - sorry to hear about the flame out but very nice, hi-res picture there. What kind of camera did you use. Great optics. You'll probably tell me it was a cell phone but it looks as clean as Zeiss or Leica.

@Tallencor - what's a front clip? I'm guessing you mean a clip for the plastic bumpers most cars have. Hope that's the extent of the damage.

I managed to drop an air conditioner on my car last year. Well, not exacty on it. I just missed it. The plastic mounting wings hit the side of the car. Not sure how I screwed that up. I've put that ac in the window many times before and taken it out. I guess I just wasn't focusing. Now I have more power unit that sits on the floor and uses a window mounted vent. At least I can't screw that up. LOL.

it was actually a tablet. galaxy note 10.1 the first series not the new ones. I dont have good camera cause I am not fun of still pictures and I am not good at taking pictures.

I did hope that I could go out and buy a new motherboard but damn something came up. busy now. I hope I can have some time tomorrow to buy one. I miss my budget rig. and I am now in remote area so I cant really go to big shopping mall or even order online damn it.

I'm having issues with the Opty 6180Se server. Keeps dropping to 28% cpu utilization even after re-starts. Out of 48 possible WU's, only 13 will be crunching. Shutting her down tonight to wipe the drive and re-load the latest Ubuntu distro. Will likely lose an entire day of production by the time she spools back up. Sorry Guy's.

 

[Tallencor]

It's all good guys were still posting great numbers. Doing what we can is after all the name of the game.

Stability issues on my main rig. had to drop 960T clocks from 3.9 to 3.6 GHz..

Can anyone tell me how much difference would be between my 960t and a i3 4130 (crunching). thinking of parting with my board and processor as there warranty is about to expire.

Hope this helps [Ion] could prob help as it's his program.

i3 would likely do a little worse than a 960T but probably use half the power. An i5 would give a decent boost if you can swing it

 

[Arjai]

my mobo died

it will be 2 days until i can get a new one.

Now THAT is how to CRUNCH!!! Push'em tell they blows up or starts on FIRE!!

The i3 I'd estimate at about 2.6-2.8k PPD or so. A very rough estimate, but given its potential relative to the i7-4700 it shouldn't be too far off. But you're welcome to check out the PPD Estimator to see

Playing around with the calculator now. Kind of surprised by the results. Checked my old AMD gear in relation to Might have to sell it off to fund some new servers.
Predicted PPD of stuff laying around:
Phenom II X2 550 @ 3.6GHz: 1188
Phenom II X6 1100T @ 3.8GHz: 3762
AMD FX-8350 @ 4.8GHz: 6154
Pentium G3258 @ 4.8GHz: 3333

Seems rather interesting that my ~$40-50 dual-core Intel does about half the PPD as my ~$150 AMD FX (and probably for about 1/10th the power)
Just makes me want a HP Moonshot even more.

Well, they are just estimates--the values that you get as seen by the Device Statistics really are the best quantifier.
The advantage of the FX8 systems is that it's a solid 5.5-6.5k PPD (depending on OC) from a computer that's overall relatively cheap--and sticking Pentiums everywhere requires a great deal of duplication of other resources (motherboard, RAM, HDDs, PSUs, cases if you go for that thing, coolers, etc).

And I'd be particularly suspicious of the PhII estimations--based on the results given by my 4P (which is basically just four PhII X8 CPUs) the Estimator is running a bit on the low side (either that, or Linux is playing a bigger role than I anticipated)

Really is time that I get proper Linux estimations going....

 

[xvi]

And I'd be particularly suspicious of the PhII estimations

I'm slightly suspicious of those estimations too simply because I remember my X6 matching (and in some cases beating) my 8350 at heavy workloads.

Well, if you want to send me the Device Statistics from your two PhII rigs for at least a week each, I can do some better estimations

Is it too early to enter for Sneekypeet's NZXT Kraken AIO's. Either or, not both. And I guess the better question would be shipping to Canada?

Well, you're entered for all of the prizes...that's the way the drawing works. And no idea about shipping. I assume that most of the things-that-have-to-be-shipped are US only, but not sure.

I have those coolers in my possession- I will ship them to Canada if someone from there wins one (UPS usually charges a small but reasonable premium from here)

*Note- we will go through the list to determine if US only or if Canada/Mexico can be included if the extra cost is paid. Unfortunately, shipping from the US to other areas is just too difficult/costly.

 

[AnnCore]

I'm sure us Euros are willing to pay for shipping if it makes sense financially. Obviously not much point paying more for shipping that what you can buy the article for over here.
