basically 7 yo 8K PPD. That is about what I figured. Thanks bro.

Two dozen+ systems means that basically any HW people want an estimate on, I can just point them to one of mine
You never responded to my PM about Heat feedback,

I don't know if it has an impact on PPD, but just clocked my 2133mhz ram at 2400mhz 1.65v, same timing: 11-13-13-31-1T. can't get to 2666, event at 2T, but I will try to lower CAS now

I doubt it'll help a noticeable amount--I've noticed no statistically significant difference from more/less or faster/slower RAM.

I managed to get a very good deal on an ES X5650 on [H], so I have another 10 threads coming later this week (2T W3503 -> 12T X5650)

I clicked "Thanks" on this post, but I just want you to know I did it very begrudgingly.

Edit: For clarity, I'm looking for basically those exact processors.

Crap, your right bro. I will shoot ya back the PM tonight after work.

You too could start a WTB thread on [H] and be offered great deals
If that's too much trouble, they're regularly available for right at $72 on Ebay...in fact there are several ATM. A bit more than I paid for my Extra Spicy one, but not bad. IMO, the X5650s are a pretty solid deal....mine was 40% less than an X5670 for a CPU that's 9% slower.

If you get this error when attaching WCG to BOINC ver. 7.4.27:

-1 missing or bad parameter: email_addr

do the following:

1. Go into your WGC profile ( Settings > Profile on the WCG page) and look for your account key.
2. Have boinc running and open a command prompt with administrator privileges (Win key, type cmd, right click and select "Run as administrator")
3. On the command prompt, go to your Boinc install folder ( C:\Program Files\Boinc in W7/8)

cd c:\program files\boinc

4. Run the following command:

boinccmd.exe --project_attach www.worldcommunitygrid.org youraccountkey

After that WCG should be attached to your Boinc client.

I've had this problem myself. Solutions are either revert to an older version or exactly what's above. As an alternative, I think you can set up allow_gui_rpc (or add IP and password to appropriate files) and add accounts from an old client with the new server software. Not sure on that one though.

Good post.

I just had this happen to me last week. After some googling, I found exactly what you posted, and it worked.

Some more info about it here

I got that while setting up my 3770K cruncher yesterday. Only thing I got while goggling was this link http://boinc.umiacs.umd.edu/lookup_account.php and a post on Seti@home.

I thought that maybe my WCG profile was incomplete or something but I didn't find anything. Then I noticed that the boinc folder had the boinccmd.exe and thought about trying that.

It took me a while to find help on Google, and when I finally did, it was in the form of a blog post, which redirected to that WCG link I posted earlier.

My windows 10 crunching install broke. Have to do a complete reinstall of some os.

Looks like GoBuuku finally got his 200k point day. Insane!

 

[twilyth]

Yup. Noticed that too. Big move from yesterday, very nice.

200K. Simply incredible. @[Ion] , I hope to include you in that club shortly. Keep acquiring those rigs!

Yeah I'd love to hit 200k, but that's a while off. I've already basically doubled my output over the last four months, so I'm still content.
Even with cheap Xeon hex and Sandy i5 setups, hitting 200k would be an expensive proposition.

There's a German enterprise being super saiyan that created a WCG account 12 days ago and they're already at 43.5M WCG points.
They do 4M a day!
Take a look: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=user&proj=bwcg&name=954072

Damn that's a lot of points!

I was going to wait to get more hardware before I introduced it, but I'll just do it now. Latest crunching rig coming online now. HP Z600, X5570, 2.93GHz QC w/HT. Pics in spoiler below.
It'll be crunching as soon as it gets Linux, which may be tonight.

Spoiler: CPU-z/GPUz Screencap + Crossfire test

What do the 5800's do? Idle? Game? Fold?

Side note, there's a racing sim I like that has the Atom 500. I wish I could compare it to real life, but at least in the sim, it's dreadfully fun.

I'll have my new Haswell i7, a little A8- 3850 online this coming weekend. It will be nice to be contributing something again.

Cool. I never did check back in on your WTB thread but it looks like you got yourself outfitted pretty well, congrats. You are hereby awarded honorary pie.
