I think I have asked this before but don't remember what the response was...

Is anyone running CEP2 with success? I ask because previously I had so many errors with that project, but I've been thinking of dabbling in it again.

I'm only requesting HST and CEP2. I'm not getting anything at the moment, but the last CEP2 beta's that just came through were fine.

Yea! Its been an insane week for me. Seems that has been the story for a few of us Crunching members this last few weeks.

I have more cores going for me. They are all remote and part time. I keep fixing peoples computers for free but only if they let me install boinc to run when it is idle. This strategy only works so well, as some of these computers are only turned on once a month to pay bills anymore.

This time I got i7's though. I am not sure how much it will increase my ppd but it will increase.

That's how I feel I got hit hard with a stomach virus that my family had been passing around. Starting to feel the slightest bit better but still not very good.

To my knowledge I have never had a bad WU. I run everything except OET: I hated the variations in points, but the reason I got into this was for cancer, so I don't stray too far away from cancer projects. I run two profiles. One of them is for the X5675 6C/12T that does (IIRC) 2 CEP2 WUs, and the other profile is for the two 2P 8C/16T Xeons (16C/32T total) that runs something like 6 or 8 CEP2 WUs max (set maximum # of WUs allowed in the download queue). I have nothing OCed though.

Pretty close to that

Good to hear you're feeling better!

My busy week spilled over to a busy weekend so far- 2 call outs mixed with my 3 hr's or so of weekend stops for work AND the wife/son cashing in on all of the rest of my time

I need a vacation.....

Here is what I usually spend my free time on.


Here is my home built VDub trike:

Ha, my bad but I just realized CEP2 was now labeled an intermittent project. not sure how I missed that I guess I'll give up work on that project.

Good point, I want to get back into the MCM as well and fight some more cancer.

Back to complain about something else...

Anyone else running FA@H2 and receiving errors? I just added that project 2 nights ago, and 3 wus have errored out. Not sure why, system is rock solid and no OC, no crashes.

Any thoughts or suggestions?


Edit: on closer inspections, it seems that these that are marked as Error were returned within minutes of being sent. Very weird but I don't think it'll affect me too much, I guess.


Edit 2: upon further searching on WCG forums, it appears to be an issue with the actual download, where it may be interrupted and resumed, but it's somehow wrong and it leads to an eventual Error. More info in this thread.

I can dig that more than wasting time on the wu and then getting an error

 

[peche]

i have gotten several aborted taks on MCM and Ebola, dammit i need moar points...

 

[xvi]

dammit i need moar points...

There's a solution for that.

 

[peche]

There's a solution for that.

dammit... now i need money for the solution , thanks sir

How's everybody doing? Quiet times as of late. No wonder, seems like we've all been hammered with 101 things everyday.

It's been too hot here for crunching - 3 days near 100. Cooler now, so I've fired a couple systems back up.

It's crazy to think of 100*F in Oregon . I guess Florida does have a monopoly on heat, just the humidity


I'm thankful that I've managed to keep things going despite warmer weather. I've felt the difference a few times though. Ie: the other night it was warm out in the room so I was going to pause the folder, but it was reporting 500k+ ppd so I left it alone

I am near port land right now, and that was some serious heat.

100's aren't that uncommon out here....., in July, August and September. Very unusual in June.

We are suppose to be near 90 on Friday. That is completely unheard of the first part of June here.

So far I have managed to keep all crunchers running as the pair of 2P systems are in the basement.

Jeez, I might move my main rig down to the basement just for cooler temps..............On me.

 

[agent00skid]

It's been pretty hot in Denmark as well, so the FX-8320E haven't been running for a bit.

 

[manofthem]

Bad thunderstorms rolled in today, caught me good at work and had to scramble to get the roof covered


The storm must have knocked out the power temporarily at home too. The wife called a few minutes ago and said that she couldn't get the pc working on the TV, some message about reset settings. Turns out it was at bios screen. Got it working again but I've to check the others. And since I closed TeamViewer in the aftermath of the recent hack, I can't do it til after work


Thank you Mr Lightning... I guess I do have to be worried about lightning

 

[xvi]

Eastern Washington got hit with some lightning yesterday. One of our customers had it strike a pole with two of our radios/antennas on it. I think one survived, no idea how.

 

[stevorob]

It's getting fairly warm here, but I have my rigs spread out, 2 downstairs, 2 upstairs, and it really makes a difference. Hopefully I can keep all rigs going through the summer, may just turn some clocks down a bit to help with the heat.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

It's been right around mid 80's here. About 70 in the basement where my rigs are so all is good.
