I was crunching on windows 10 tech preview. I wasn't doing exact measurements, but I didn't notice a ppd increase over windows 7. I do know windows 8 has a slight increase, so windows 10 should over windows 7. I also get some blue screen on it, that I don't see on windows 7. I am moving the rig to linux here shortly too.

Edit: Latest development version of BOINC (ver 7.4.36) does not have the invalid e-mail bug when adding a project to the client. Huzzah!

Excellent, excellent... :D

Try youtube?
 
So, I hear there's this new OS that's easier, faster, more powerful, and has great compatibility compared to older versions of Windows. Sounds complicated, right? Well, it's not! It's called Windows 95 and if you feel you need a guide to the new features that Windows 95 has to offer, Microsoft made an hour-long introduction video starring TV sensations Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry.
I for one can't wait to see what kind of effect this could have on our PPD.

I have a watercooling question. Are there any negative effects to bottom mounting my x41 in my case? I know the rear is the optimal place to have it , but I don't have enough room back there with my hyper 212 with 2 fans.
 
Not particularly. Marginally colder air down there too. :P

Do we need any GPU work done? I just found my old HD5850, not sure if it works, but was going to check a bit later.

There is no gpu work to do right now. Im not sure if the folding team can use the 5000 series gpu's either.

Ended up deciding to sell the card since i guess its a 4850 actually. I set up my file server to crunch and its working on stuff now.

This Intel Pentium G630 is much faster then my first gen AMD APU in my laptop that I used earlier this year for crunching.

Still planning to look for an E3 Xeon LGA1155 chip for this along with better virtualization capabilities.

I got back so I fired up the spare cruncher to make up the lost time:

Wow, not sure I want to devote nearly an hour to reminisce about WIN 95... XP, Maybe, 95, No.

On Monday, I should receive the i5-2400. It will be replacing my Q6600. Hopefully I should be able to hit 3.6GHz across all 4 cores. I've heard of people getting 3.8 on all 4 cores but I've also read that you can't do that. It seems there is either some misinformation or just plain confusion floating about...

At 3.6GHz, the estimator is expecting around 4,400PPD. Currently my Q6600 puts out 1880.

3.8 across all 4 cores? Did you adjust BCLK?
