ill set up my other PC's, to crunch then.
the kids are home for the weekend, but mine, and i have another i5 optiplex i can dedicate for now.

Pulling out all stop,crunching crt go hard or go home edition

Set the garage dust collector pc up.its a 3570,or some ivy bridge i5 i cant recall
Also a 4690k @4.3ghz running 100%,only 8 cores 8 threads,but tomorrow,another 4 threads will be added when the kids get tk school
That mess is a sign of genius

jboydgolfer · May 15, 2016

its satisfyingly odd that i can run Boinc @ 100% with 120% utilization (overclock) and i see absolutely ZERO impact while using the PC. just NO difference what so ever, I LOVE the way it handles crunching. Even my Thermal headroom is decent. @ 120% load, I have 50C till TJmaXX.
I recently installed a H110i GTX and it REALLY handles heat well. One would hope with it being the absolute Highest model Corsair has to offer, but still, it Wont allow this CPU to rise above 50C, under ANY condition, including prime (at its current clocks of 4.2Ghz. that is) im sure if i raised the frequency, id get higher temps.

sorry for Double post.

what is a Good PPD score for a 4 core NON HT'd CPU?
and what are the scores that matter? i have a score count on my Boinc manager, and then theres one on the WCG page which is hundreds of thousands highger?

Around 4,000 BOINC PPD.

WCG points =BOINC points X 7. Since this will be a WCG challenge, the WCG points are what matters, and the score is tallied at the link Norton provided. WCG-TPU May 2016 crunching Challenge- planning thread

jboydgolfer · May 15, 2016

thank You.
My wife took my kids to walmart, so i have All of my PC's up and running @ 100% currently, but it will drop back to only 2x i5 Quad when they get back.

I think id like to build a PC solely for crunchery, i have the space, and could just stick it into the garage, and let it run 24/7. Ill start looking around for parts likely.
anyway, i gotta get back to getting the Pool ready for summer, "fun"

Some of the WU's take a long time, like 12-15 hours, so crunching for a couple of hours may have no results. As you have seen, BOINC gets out of the way when you want to use a computer. You can even set it to stop crunching when it's in use. The nice thing about that is that you don't have to manually start/stop it. Or you can mess with the number of cores it uses. It takes some experimentation to find what works for you.

for me, setting it to Full utilization has worked well for the last month or two that ive had my new PC. i see no down side to having it run. However i dont run it all of the time on this PC, for reasons.

this was my best Point day, but not my best Results returned day.

T-Bob · May 15, 2016

Definitely check with MadShot. Also if you're interested in a 2P lga1366 board shoot me a pm.

24 hours to go!!!

Time to run those rigs up to speed and get to crunchy-crunchy

Hoping to get some rest from work and get the main challenge thread up by tomorrow night :oops:

No worries. I too have been a little busy and stressed and slightly absent round these parts. :shadedshu:

I had wanted to get another rig up and running but that doesn't look good. This week I've has to put some $$ into the Soul after everything started acting up at the same time.

I may manage to borrow 1 rig from my brother.

stinger608 · May 20, 2016

Oh holy crap, its here already!!! Wow, I totally lost track of time. :laugh:

Well, I have both my 2P 1366's up, my main system with a 4790K, my brother in laws Intel 4771, and my little dual core file server that I run Plex on all running and crunching away! Hopefully we can put up some good numbers!

bubbleawsome · May 20, 2016

I'm ready!

manofthem · May 20, 2016

Wow, I didn't realize how soon it started either. Gotta finish this last F@H Wu and then that's getting shut down til the Challenge ends

TRWOV · May 20, 2016

I've got some games I can give away. MoT YGPM

peche · May 20, 2016

BlackSun59 · May 20, 2016

Why, I think it's finally time to try a gentle OC on my rig. "Only" 58k points needed for my badge...

Norton · May 21, 2016

GO!!! 2 hours ago :oops:

Challenge is open- go get em' :cool:

Just got home from a long day at work a little while ago and I'm beat... will try to get the challenge thread launched before I pass out....

Caring1 · May 21, 2016

craigo · May 21, 2016

Hello team,

I will participate in this challenge. Will crunch regardless but also nave a very broken Razer Mamba
That really needs replacing. I reside in Australia so I will forfeit any prize that is not a mouse or voucher for a mouse.

Kind Regards,
Craig0.
