With the challenge now basically finished I have a question. Is there any way to have a look at the PPD or points / hour of runtime or something for the different PCs? I would like to compare how are the different CPUs i have used in the past month(i3, i5, ulv, i5 mobile, amd, xeon etc.) are comparing to one another

You can go to My Contribution on the WCG site and it shows your stats, it also has a tab for device statistics, showing points generated and results returned, per device.

Yeah but that shows points generated and results returned in total. I have run different systems for different times so wanted to have something like average points per hour of cpu time or something. Not sure if this is possible since i assume wcg / statictis websites dont know if i ran that pc that day 24 hours or 5 hours

Click on the device name you want to look at, it shows Date, Total run time, Points generated and Results returned.
You can work out the points per hour by dividing the points total by the hours of run time for that device.

ok awesome thanks for the info.

Edit: But does it work in retrospect?

You need to enable "show hosts" in your profile at WCG to use the FreeDC site for each rig. My my list as an example:
http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=user&proj=bwcg&name=797865

You can click on the ID for specs/history on each rig....

I think the total run time is also a score in some sense (like computing for 24 hours on your 8 core cpu you helped as running 10 days on our X baseline system). I am saying this because is says that one of the xeon workstation has a run time of 17 days where as in reality it was about 30-36 hours.

What i meant by retrospect is, if I enable it today will it have access to the results of a week ago? It was more like a retorical question because I will try it out later anyway

For those discussing BOINC on SSDs and have reservations, I will point out that it's possible to have your OS on the SSD and install the BOINC programdata folder on a storage HDD.

That's what I am doing right now, but I want to remove all HDD in my rig, so I can put a tube res, and pump at the bottom. so I will remove my HDD rack.

So, I had an interesting weekend. One tooth I've had a problem with for months suddenly decided to become infected. I think it was probably infected all of that time but the immune system kept it in check. Anyway, it flared up Friday night and was incredibly painful. Call the dentist first thing in the morning to get drugs - antibiotics and pain meds. Started taking them in the pharmacy parking lot and went home.

The pain was really intense so they game me vicodin which really kicked my ass. I don't understand how people like that crap. It alternately made me nauseated and sleepy. I could barely function the rest of the day - so more or less normal for me. LOL.

The antibiotics kicked in really quickly though. The pain is almost gone so I haven't had to take any more hillbilly heroin - so far at least. The thing that sucked though was that I was supposed to be at this weekend long convention and I had to bail early.

Sorry to hear that.

Tooth pain really sucks, especially if a nerve gets infected On the vicoden, some people have really negative reactions to it... especially if your doctor prescribed more than 5mg- Try a half pill plus one extra strength Tylenol if the pain comes back.

@twilyth I hope you're feeling better!

Any idea on why my 680 ek copper block would have black spots on it? My supremacy CPU block is copper too and its got nothing on it and water in the rest still looks crystal clear.

Might be time to shut the wcg rig down and clean the loop before summer.

That's what I'm about to do on my main rig too. Time to break it down, flush it, disassembly the blocks and clean with vinegar, redo a few minor things, and probably change the tubing to colored tubing to replace the coolant with distilled water.

I've been putting it off for a while and now that the challenge is done, I'm just going to start it once and for all.

Only problem is a breakdown and cleanup is the best time to update my GPU and I really don't want to spend that money I'll be pretty sad when I pick up a used 780Ti only to have the Titan X and its consumer grade GTX either blow it away performance wise, drop the used 780Ti prices further, or (most likely, of course) do both

I hear you there and the logic is sound indeed. But don't you just hate putting it off once you have it in mind..?


As for me, bigBox is completely torn down now, gpu and CPU blocks sitting in a tub of vinegar getting cleaned, and I'm going to flush both rads tonight because who knows what's in there.

Coming from El blood red coolant, there was a bit of gunk in the blocks, CPU block in particular. I'm switching back to distilled. Just bought 4 gallons of distilled water for some good flushing.


I think I'm done with coolant it looks good for a little bit, but then the tubes darken anyway and it's lost. Plus, when I had a leak, the red is impossible to get out if the grout so I'm going to purchase some new tubing tonight and just go with some red tubing, maybe black, not sure. Debating on whether I want to go for uv tubing or just black...

Why not Black UV? It will react kind of blueish when UV lights turned on, so if you have more blue stuff it's not gonna look bad, no matter if UV light is on/off, black & blue is a scheme I always loved =)

I use Koolance's coolant after having troubles with other coolants and even using distilled water and silver kill coils. I have not been disappointed. I do use the clear version and colored tubing as I like to stay away from dyes.

Maybe this is not the right way how to compare one Cruncher Machine vs another Cruncher Machine.
In the graphic shown the first bar dated 03.03.2015 from the left to the right it shows the average from my
3770k 4.5GHz + AMD 4.1GHz
(2 Machines ) the first bar dated 03.08.2015 from the right to the left it shows the average from the
Xeon 3.5GHz/3.8GHz (1 Machine)
With that said it looks like the Xeon perform almost like the 3770k plus the AMD together.
Maybe my bizarre vs is wrong

I just realized I have finally hit the 2 stars!

Sucks because I just shut down my main rig, and my bro is going to shut down his rig, if he hasn't already.



New goal: maintain 2 stars! Time to upgrade some CPU's

Time to get some Xeons

Yes sir, that's my first order of business once I get my rig back together. I've been thinking about it, and I'm a little undecided as to whether I should grab a 1155 Xeon for my current board or grab a 1150 Xeon and board. Decisions, decisions.

 

[peche]

1155, save money you can get more for less investment..!
also can save the most, then can get another PC on a near future

And that was my initial thinking, it seems to be the better/quicker choice. In the end, which ever is a greater deal I'll go with

also like Core proceesors, diference between high end generations is so minimal, so worthless option, keep your current board,

the fact that you can re-use the current motherboard makes this option a totally worthwhile project, you will save money, so you can upgrade cooling for example... TPU's loved Hyper 212 evo, logically

2p or 4p rig problem solved

 

[krusha03]

How do the stars work? Are they point or run time related? I am curious because i see @ThE_MaD_ShOt has 4 and @manofthem has 2 and the former has more run time and latter more points and results returned. I know the first badge comes at 100K but I have also seen badges without star

The Stars relate to ppd, but I don't remember exactly how much ppd corresponds to star count.
