I am quite busy at work and in life. I got my wife pregnant, now a 22 weeks, and I try to save money everywhere so cutting down a little bit the electricity bill is one, so I'm not crunching anymore except a 2 core on my Parents server.
I don't have alot of time, work, martial arts, work, work, home projet. So crunching is very low on my side. we'll see later, I don't think my E3-1231 v3 will handle 5-6VM + crunching, so I might switch to dual E5-2670 after baby got there.

Congrats man! No worries, we'll be here when you come back. :P

Must be luck, but I've got seven valids so far. CPU time varies pretty wildly. "Think" is a dedicated Xeon E3-1225 v3 (basically an i5-4570) and "kevans-noc" is a i7-4770.

Something seems strange to me... Im pretty sure I had 19 results for HST but now I'm only seeing 17 :confused: This new project is funky

Edit: yup, earlier I had 5 valids and now there are only 3, makes me haz a sad :(
 
So far I've only received 1 HST and it's still pending. Hoping to get some more

update: received 2 more HSTs and my i7-860 took 10 hours to complete them

Will have the 3570k crunching in the next cpl of days, grabbing a new psu tomorrow to replace my aging corsair HX1000W. Will get the 2400 going In the next few weeks when I can afford a hsf for it,stock sux lol
 
Anyone getting a steady flow of HST wu's yet? My main rig hasn't pulled any yet, and the others are very rare.

Aye, thanks. I guess they'll pick up eventually. It's all good. :)
 
Not a one so far, but plenty of other work to keep me busy.
 
The psu in :) will start crunching tonight. Probably grab the heatsink for the 2400 on the 5th and have it crunching soon after :)

These wu's are right. Avg about 12 hrs per wu and 400 points per wu. These things will rack some points.

Anything special you did to receive them so plentifully? I'd sure like to know!

That's about 233 points per hour of runtime! :twitch:
WCG.org says the average p/hr is 160 still. Our newer, higher end rigs must love these projects.

Edit: Looking at results from a i7-4770, I'm just shy of 299 p/hr!

Crazy, but I have Help Stop TB checked and haven't had a single WU show up. :shadedshu:

Perhaps try settings like mine?

So you have only HST selected, and you're receiving constant work for it? I tried that the other day but couldn't get constant work with it solely selected :mad:

Going to double check my settings.
 
I think I tried setting up specific projects ~4 years ago and could never get them to stick :laugh: The only time my preferences actually took hold was when I opted out of CEP2- thankfully, because my DSL nearly died when it witnessed the bandwidth requirements.

Only HST, but I do have the "Give me other work if nothing else is available" thing checked.

Actually I did nothing special. Have my settings the way they have always been. I didn't even notice the new project until today. I haven't really been keeping an eye on the rigs that well.
 
Just checked the 3 rigs and only 1 HST wu. :( oh well :ohwell:

But tomorrow i'm going to have to shut down the wife's rig. She has the 7770 folding currently, and the temps are way up from what they used to be: used to fold in the mid 50s and now in the upper 60s. Want to remount the cooler, maybe I mismounted last time I took it apart.
