Sometimes you make me sick Kai :shadedshu:

So there's been talk today about switching from Free-DC to boincstats.... All I have to say is that I think posting, actually.... finding, the Milestones is going to be quite difficult. As @twilyth and @Norton said, all we need is a cruncher/programmer to be able to figure this one out for us...

Wink, wink @Mindweaver

Tonight's haul was another dual-E5620 Dell T5500. I'll run it for about three week and then loan it out alongside the other one to the friend I was talking about earlier

Lord I wish gpu wus will come back, like tomorrow. I have enough gpus laying around here to mount a good defense.

Yeah no kidding. If they come out, I have space for dozens of nice PCIe GPUs. ALthough I'd probably sell off some of the CPU-only ones to pay for them.

But how can you mount a defense from behind?

I wouldn't be behind then as I already have 10 or so

gpus then have been battle proven already LOL also I can sell some stuff of to get more if needed. :toast:

Prague is up and crunching! :toast:

Given that it's functionally identical to Bratislava, it ought to do ~9k PPD

ChristTheGreat · Apr 16, 2015

anyone got a cheap LGA 1150 CPU? like a G1820? Looking for a low power cheap crunching machine. I found a H81 board for 35$!

Thanks!

I'd suggest a Core i3 if you can swing it. Roughly the same power (1w extra TDP), but HT gives it a bit more grunt (~20-30%?)

yeah I know, it's just about budget. I have found some CPU like 55$ a G3220, but if I can pay less, that would be absolutely nice xD

Okay guys, really bad news.

So I know a lot of you know of my SSD/chipset issue where my SSD just doesn't like my Z97 chipset, at all.

Well the crashes happen most when WCG is running, so I can't get anything done.

Like, 75% of the time when I run WCG, I come home to a "No operating system found" error and gotta reboot. (Do mind this is with nothing on or the same two programs in the background on.)

AS A RESULT! I'm going to save every dollar I can to get a new SSD in my rig so I can get to crunching again. I'm aiming for the MX100 256GB and if I can't reach that, then I'll have to find some cheaper 120-128GB drive for the OS/programs. And you can bet your dragon eggs that this rig will be TIMED for running WCG automatically when I'm at work and asleep, or just at work so I can sleep. I forgot which is what.

Also my coworker and I broke a window moving stuff today for work. Weeeeee.

Which SSD do you have?

OCZ Petrol with the latest filmware it can take.

I had a compatibility issue with my M4 and my 990FX board. The firmware update utility couldn't even recognize the SSD. ASRock had added a separate SATA controller to add more SATA ports than the 990FX chipset supported. When I swapped it over to the ASRock controller, it started working great. I tried digging up some info on the Gigabyte board in your system specs, but can't tell if there's an extra SATA controller somewhere in there. Might work under the RAID controller, but it might not like having a single drive. Either option likely means reinstalling your OS, but it's a free potential solution.

Option two, you might be able to trade someone for a similar SSD that's a bit more compatible. Looks like that SSD uses an Indilinx Everest controller. Hmm. Pretty poor reviews, sadly.

I'll have to somehow back up the programs from the drive and then reinstall the OS to see what that does. Not sure who would be willing to trade drives though.

Those crucial drives look pretty good, bang for the buck wise, so try that out. Also there was a good deal on a Sammy drive, 850 Evo 256gb for under $100. If I had the cash, I'd buy one. Plus if I had an extra drive I'd trade you, but I don't have a single extra drive at all, ssd or had. I hope you get one soon and get it sorted

Edit: here it is, posted in the hot deals section earlier.

After some stuff, newegg may be able to issue me a lost package claim! Erase everything bad I said about them from your mind! Maybe I didn't give them enough time.

You need someone who looks like they might belong to a drug cartel, to show up at that address and mention to them that there was a package wrongly delivered to that address. :laugh:
