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

None of the above. It is your current Free-DC 7 day average. Nobody knows the graduation after this site got a mayor overhaul.

Thanks for the replies. And why does the badge first come up at 100k? Sorry for asking too many questions just curious about the system Is there a page where i can read more about it?

Post a pic after you've had yours, it should be interesting to see what it does.

So I has update.

My desktop is running cleanly though as the weather heats up I might have some throttling. If anyone has some spare high performance fans please shoot them my way.

Laptop is in the car with me as I'm heading to work, as it serves as a charger for my phone because let's be honest: I can't see badger pictures on a dead battery.

I'll be looking at fan possibilities when I get home tomorrow.

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

2p or 4p rig problem solved

TMS beat me to the correct answer! Density is your friend.

Honestly, depending on what you would like to spend, you could pick up a dual 1366 board and a couple hex core chips for it for a few hundred dollars. I find they perform well and cost much less than current tech. Dual X5650's get you 12k+ PPD.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Okay guys one of my rigs is going to be down for a day or two. The hdd decided life is no more worth living. Os is running fine but it just so happens the bad spot in the drive is apparently where boinc has decided to call home. SO boinc freaks out after a few minutes of run time. So I am going to replace the drive and reload the os.

Do you need 12 or 14 cm. If 14 cm I can recommend thermaltake ty141 for silence or ty143 for performance and they are really cheap. Also look into getting a portable battery bank. I got a 10400mah recently for 20 euros shipped from amazon and it can charge my phone 3-4 times

8 days to go.

Gulp.

So besides the random disconnections my desktop is running rather well. WCG shall be running as soon as my @$$ h0!e coworker gets me home after going the wrong way for cheap cigarettes.

Hey at least you are getting driven if I would be your Coworker and see this I would send your ass walking home

 

[manofthem]

I think it's time for a moment of silence and respect for the end of @sneekypeet's sale thread, a truly momentous era has passed.

He has given very generously to the WCG challenges repeatedly, and most of us have had dealings with SP over the years with the best of experiences. It's sad to see this come to an end, but we can hope things fire back up.

Just the sales have stopped for now, I fully plan to keep supporting endeavors such as this!

The job is about 80-90 miles from my town.

The job is about 80-90 miles from my town.

It costs ~$0.50 per mile to drive a car. Costs $80-90 each day to drive there. Be careful.

Gas here is $2.87 a gallon and I pay whoever is driving $10-15 depending on how far we have to go. My coworker felt bad after another coworker and I explained that we'd rather be home sleeping and not in the car.

I get a free ride to my house tomorrow morning. Yay.

BACK ON TOPIC

WCG is running again though only on my desktop, hitting 70-75c average on the cores, but I'm sure it'll top out at 80c.
