Sounds like you need to clock it higher so the AIO doesn't freeze.

Hah! I was thinking about doing that but, my bigger fear is if the power goes out and I'm not around. I also have no idea what kind of liquid is in the AIO and if its freezing point is the same as water or not. I didn't really want to take the chance.

Either way, I have the board flashed to the latest BIOS and running at 4.2. Auto voltage is giving it a conservative 1.3v and it appears to be stable. After I flashed the BIOS it was trying to automatically run at ~4.6Ghz with the 125Mhz strap though. Not quite sure where those settings came from and it was kind of a pain to get it to back out of them. Either way, all is good. :roll:

Just started crunching with a Dell Inspiron 15 w/ A6-6310. It's cold here so now the office is nice and toasty

Up to 20 threads in the house now. If I could just get my daughters laptop.....

XZero450 · Nov 20, 2017

Accidentally restarted my workstation.. so I loaded a different EFI driver to squeeze a few more MHz out... like 600mhz more across all of the cores.

Most have mixed metals so they have some sort of antifreeze in them. Also, think of the fact that they have to account for the temperatures an AIO might encounter during shipping.

Just had my little Gigabyte mITX running a 3570K go down.

It has been a weird system since I got it fired up a year ago or so. Now it just tries to boot over and over. Don't really have the time, or energy, to deal with it at the moment. Sucks though that it decided to take powder during the damn challenge.

I guess there is one way to find out.

UPDATE!!!

As of 0400 UT on 11/20/2017 we are holding 6th place in the challenge:

Keep em crunching TPU!

Great job Team! We can still reach the Top 5 if we can turn it UP a notch! :cool:

Reminder to our part-time crunchers- most rigs can be set to crunch on all cores at 100% load with minimal impact in daily usage. Post in the Team thread or PM a fellow cruncher if you need setup assistance

I'm hoping by the next challenge I'll have rearranged my hardware and possibly even upgraded a bit, but for now I'm stuck with my little bit of power. :ohwell:

Okay Scotty ... just thrown in 48 opetron cores the last day....hope thats not to late

It's never too late to crunch.

phill · Nov 21, 2017

I'll get the rigs up and running again tonight when I get home from work

If I can get another CPU and U2 cooler from work, I'll be able to throw a few more cores at it and then even more when I get them replaced with hex cores

Norton · Nov 21, 2017

Have a project for one of you web gurus....

SETI.Germany is offering code to setup a personal stats webpage that will read the database from WCG and allow a cruncher to view their stats in greater detail.

*Note that this is similar to what FreeDC does with their stats pages.

I have no clue how to do this but am hoping that a Team member has experience with PHP and MYSQL and is willing to have a look.

See below for more details:

This year we provide the code for your own personal stats on World Community Grid.

To use those stats, you need your own webspace with PHP and MySQL.
If you want to see, how those statistics look like, just visit this site. There you see the new stats of our member XSmeagolX.

To install the stats on your webpage, download the code and follow the intructions inside the package.
(actual version: v1.01)

Dang, I wish I was better at PHP.......Man, that is getting soooooooooooo outdated I can't believe they are still using PHP.

It might be a good starting point to figure out exactly how to extract data out of WCG. They have APIs but, the documentation isn't exactly up to date. It's available though:

Well I have the beast going now. 2 threads from a G4400 :kookoo:

phill · Nov 22, 2017

If I had some sunny weather over in the UK I'd have no problems running my 2600k and when I get my server setup, I'd love to get that crunching!! Sadly it's all doom and gloom over here, rain!!

Irony · Nov 22, 2017

Oh boy, we're only trailing 5th by 389k, it's gonna be close.

Since you posted this about 30 or so minutes ago, the gap has closed to 365K!!!!!! That's 34K in a half an hour!!!!! :respect:

We might just pull off a top 5 in this challenge team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have 9 hours and 30 minutes to "get er done."

So, I took a quick look at what's there and it looks like it just gathers data from the member stats api. So basically it's reading in data that looks like this:

Code:

    }
}

...and is storing it in a MySQL database and regurgitating it on demand. I'm thinking about writing a tool to gather the data from this API and store it in a PostgreSQL server. Once the data is stored, you could really do whatever you want with it. I personally like the idea of using c3.js to chart out this kind of data.

If I decide to build something and make decent progress, I might ask if anyone would be willing to share their WCG username and verification code so I have more data points to track.

Come on Team lets end this challenge with a Bang, and hopefully a top 5 spot
