Thanks, I am getting getdeb and playdeb and Ubuntu is installing updates from the Software Updater.

Should have BOINC up in the next hour, or so.
 
Should have my other 4790k back up this weekend. Going to play around with the overclock on it and then might try and run linux.
 
I primarily keep an eye on what is going on by using the my alerts page. Well for whatever reason I am not getting any alerts at all. Looks like twilyth is doing something really cool.
 
Dammit!!

MadCruncher downloaded a bunch of stuff, was installing it and then...rebooted. But now, can't log in.

I am about to say, "Screw YOU, Ubuntu!!"

I might just load up Mint tomorrow and let that be that!!

If Ubuntu can't even update itself without crashing, miserably, what's the use? I have to download what has been normally included, all the deb's, and now it crashes within the Software Updater?

It's been three weeks, or more, It's actually loaded and went to desktop, 3 Times! The rest of my time fighting it has been in vain.

14.04, may be too much for this Athlon 64x2. But Mint won't be!

So, yea, I'm a little PO'ed and Frustrated. Spent most of today effing around with this crap heap!

Mint it is. See you all tomorrow, Minty Fresh and Crunchy, on the MaDcRuNcHeR!!


Next outing will probably be a Debian Distro. Aren't they supposed to be vetted for a few years of testing first?

I'm so done being a beta tester for Ubuntu releases!! Mint has been UBER reliable on my P4 Machine. No reason it shouldn't be the same for the MaDcRuNcHeR.

:toast:
 
You should be happier with Mint- its nearly zero maintenance.
 
Mint is nice, but it is on kernal 3.13 which is old. The current kernal is 3.19 which should get you a bit more performance.

If not mint, maybe try ubuntu mate. I like using linux mint mate myself. Been thinking I am going to switch to ubuntu mint mate.
 
Nah, gonna load it up now. In the last 4 hours, my download speed sucks in this location, tall buildings and such, I have had to download Mint twice, first time failed after 2 hours!!

So, I am now burning a disk. Mint 17.2 Cinnamon 32 bit. I can always upgrade the kernel, not sure it will improve my crunching, or not. If it does, maybe I will spend the time with that.

In the Meantime, I just want this thing to BE crunching, instead of BEING a waster of time!!

:laugh:
 
Just before wedding, found this:

Asus Maximus Extreme full Ek waterblock
i7 3770k delided
Ek Evo Supremacy nickel acrylic
32gig G.SKILL F3-2133C9Q-32GXH Ripjaws X 32GB 4X8GB DDR3-2133

400$

Just WOW, nice upgrade to my server then sell the 2500k xD
 
well, looks like I am gonna load up Mint Lisa. It's a Gnome 3 but, it seems to keep my old P4 crunching along! Rafaela was being a Bitch. For some reason, I can't get this old CPU to handle it, plus the GPU is being iffy with it, screen flashes, and such.

So, going to use the tried and True, Lisa. Gonna burn the .iso, now, load it up after work, tomorrow.

Wish me luck! If this doesn't work I may have a meltdown, of the destructive kind, and kill this Computer, DEAD!


:fear:

You could always remove the GUI. It frees up precious resources so you can crunch harder. :p
 
Just noticed that they pushed the end date for MCM back from October to November. 31 ( :oops: I had to look it up) more days to attain that badge you're trying to get to. I'm trying to get to my second Diamond.
Fired up my 3220T today. We seem to be out of our heatwave.
 
Anyone on the team looking for 1366 chips?

What's it been down there? 95 average? We hit 67 today. :roll:

That's about right. Nights were cooler than I normally expect during a heat wave like that. All nights got down into the 60's, with most of them into the lower 60's. That allows me to cool off the house overnight with a 20" high velocity fan and to only run my window AC, at it's lowest setting, for about 8 hours and still maintain a comfortable temperature in the whole house.
 
It begins, again...

The cursed P5N-E SLI, which brought terror to quad core CPU overclockers everywhere in ages past, has once again appeared. But all hope is not lost. The ancient 0608 BIOS has been found, and I am currently wielding it against the P5N-E SLI's demons who would destroy all quad overclocking without it.

@T-Bob might be and s1366 hex cores are always nice to have around ;)

Yeah I could use a pair of hex chips for the system below.

This is the system that I've been working on, Sorry for the bad picture.

Well, it passes 6.5 hours Prime95 testing, but it seems to want to crash running WCG. I go try to remote in with remote desktop and it's not there. Can't ping it either. I think it may be getting too hot... temps are in mid 70s when I check on it.
 
Quick question, I've been playing with Super PI Mod v1.5, and I wanted to know if it is a good tool to use to see which Processor crunches numbers faster, or are those numbers irrelevant?
 
I have a quick question too:D
Will a XFS TS 550W Power Supply handle a 980 plus 2 Processors?

Depends on the Processors and if they are going to be only crunching or multitasking as well.
I would use a PSU that can supply more power, the 550W PSU would be the minimum for a 980 and a single CPU.

Well the Processors are 2 X Xeon X5675, the Machine will be sometimes Crunching otherwise main Machine.
