So, here's hoping

Those sure are purdy!

Which CPUs and what are your plans for them?

Sometimes it feels like I have already lost my mind!

I know that feeling :banghead:

hope you get it settled when the parts come in!

Not sure if this is the right place to mention it, but I lost my WCG badge. Any ideas why? I am still part of the TPU team and crunching a few months every week.
Thanks,

The badge uses your 7 day rolling average- you lose your badge if that drops to zero. What's your WCG user name?

They will be for my daughter and girl friend

They are 1700X

I'll of course be putting WCG on each of them, but I think I'll be stuck with Windows 10 for the crunching, so I'll see if I can find something that works well or just leave it alone and let it take whatever it takes

I'll put up a build log when I do it, I might see if I can get my daughter and girl friend involved with customising the setup, should be interesting

They'll be used as a general PC @manofthem, but I have a couple Asus Strix 480's laying about, so I was thinking of putting them to some use

I've never had a badge @Norton, not sure why but I still am crunching away

Thanks for the quick response, sorry mine wasn't quicker. Username is zexio

Do you mean 7 day rolling on TPU?

Looks like you should be fine according to FreeDC - might be user name error in your profile here

I am pretty sure that the adapter wires and the PSU were delivered today. I will have to get up in the morning to retrieve them from the Leasing Office. It's a Friday so, it's a 50/50 anybody will be there.

If I get them, it will be Sunday before I have time to mess with it. I hope they're gonna be there! Otherwise, it is, probably, gonna be another week before I can get to it!

:lovetpu:

Edit 9/7 11:50 AM: Got the goods, just now!! I don't have time to even look at it, right now. Gotta shower and head in to work. I am hoping this adapter cable is all I need, and the PSU has the rest. We'll see come Sunday or maybe I will glance at it tonight, after work.

Yeah, I double checked that and hit save. Thanks anyway! I am sure at some point it will come back. Just weird...

stinger608 · Sep 8, 2018

Well everyone, I may be selling a ton of my hardware to cover current and upcoming medical costs.
They took a biopsy on a lump in my throat and the prognosis isn't good. I have to go in for more crap in the next couple of weeks and possibly surgery so I'll probably be selling a ton of parts and combos in the next few weeks to a couple of months.

Arjai · Sep 8, 2018

Sorry to here it. Here's hoping everything goes well! Keep your spirits up, Surgery has come a long way in just the last couple of years. If Moore's law is failing, now, in the computer industry, in Surgery it is still very strong.

Unfortunate that it is so expensive, I hope you do well!!

Really sorry to hear it mate

I hope that things turn around for you and soon

i dont know ya stinger608 but i wish ya all the best !

Arjai · Sep 10, 2018

Well, hell. The Mothership, is dead. Tried everything, new PSU w/ 6pin adapter (even re-pinned it since it was reversed), tried it with both memory sticks in and out and re=seated the CPU. The little LED comes on but it won't turn on and fans won't spin.

Took the memory, HDD and PSU out. Gonna try and donate it to People PC's.

So, dug out Karen, I think its a Core2Duo. I put the 450W, that I bought for the Mothership, in it and now all I get is Beeps. Initially 3 beeps followed by 8 beeps, repeated. Not sure what that indicates and I am too tired to open it up and get the MB info.

Oh well. I will try to diagnose the problem some other time.

Not sure what to do with the 3770 I have, that was gonna go in the Mothership. I am thinking about trying to get another T3500 w/a 5670 xeon....then trying to sell the 3770 and the 3 i3 HP 8300 ultra slims w/ the 2120's in them.

Then concentrate on the A10 gaming/Crunching build. I have a Power Color 580 Red Devil, on it's way to me, for that (thanks to @cdawall for the great deal).

So far I have a 550GB 7200rpm Barracuda, a 500GB 7200 Toshiba Laptop drive and a WD 320Gb laptop drive I can start with on the A10. Ultimately, I would 2x1TB HDD's and an 750GB ssd in it. I would Raid the Spinners and use the SSD for OS and the Game I am on.

That's the plan anyway, I would also crunch on it using a partition on the HDD's.

So, Right now. Donate the Mothership, Karen and the MaDcRuNChEr.
Sell the 3 i3 2120 HP's and the 3770.
Buy another T3500 w/ XEON 5670 and possible a 3rd after the A10 Build.
Get the A10 up and running!

phill · Sep 10, 2018

Have you considered a Ryzen build of some description?? Might be faster and more efficient and a little cheaper maybe long term?? Just wondering @Arjai

Durvelle27 said:
Way out of my limited budget to do right now. But hopefully by Ryzen 2 I’ll upgrade.

I was lucky to find some 1700X's brand new for £150, I grabbed them

thebluebumblebee · Sep 11, 2018

@Arjai , this is a great deal: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/...gpus-old-mining-platform.247508/#post-3901355

Arjai · Sep 11, 2018

@thebluebumblebee That is a great deal but, for a few dollars more, I can get the T3500 w/ 6core Xeon 5670 that runs 12 logical cores of WU's.

Plus, no GPU, no SSD or HDD's and I still need to get some of them for the A10. I know it is upgrade-able but, that's even more money. I am going to hold out on a Ryzen build. At least until I have my current projects finished and I would like to see what they come up with on the 7nm next gen.

Someone should snap that deal up that can use it for gaming or as a NAS, like he mentioned.

Right now, I am looking to minimize boxes and maximize cores per box, except for the A10, which is being built as a Home Theatre/ Gaming box. It will also Crunch and possibly Fold, part time (if the 580 isn't too old now...

)

hat · Sep 11, 2018

Ah... remember when 9600GSO was the shit for folding? :laugh:

Is that an actual Intel motherboard? I had an Intel motherboard act like that, but it was just that I was using a DVI to VGA adapter!

Arjai · Sep 12, 2018

@thebluebumblebee It is a HP MB, piece o' crap!

EDIT: nvm I reset my password and now its working... its always the ape in front of the monitor

Hello team TPU, I´m kinda new to the wcg projects. I have used BOINC in the past on my own and burned out a GTX670 on einstein@home

Now I want to start contributing again and try some things with my hardware. I will not be a big cruncher, energy cost (over 0,30€ per kWh) and not working full time since being a student does not allow me to burn my workstation 24/7.
I would like to join the team here this time. Already done so in fact, but is it normal that I can´t login to WCG shortly after register? I can navigate my profile on the website, but the BOINC Manager does not accept my username and password. Yes I triple checked and have everything written down to be sure.

phill · Sep 20, 2018

@Dinnercore - Is this when you are installing Boinc and trying to log in for the first time?

If I recall correctly, you'll just need your WCG log in credentials (same ones as you log in to here!!) Then that should be it as it will ask you what sort of thing you'd like to crunch (WCG - World Community Grid) being somewhere near to the bottom if I recall....

If you could put some screen shots up of what difficulties your having, everyone here will try to help.. They are great at helping others here

All contributions to WCG are more than welcome :toast:

Your 1950X should do great even if it's part-time.

Post here or PM a fellow team member if you need a hand with setup or have any questions

Dinnercore · Sep 21, 2018

Thank you @phill and @Norton ! I edited my post because I figured it out

Already finished a 2h testrun @3.9GHz to try and bother the VRM (it was not impressed - see TMPIN2):

Arjai · Sep 21, 2018

There are 74 people on this list. It is a list of people that started Crunching WCG, on the same day I did. There are only 4, including me, that are still Crunching...

Might take a while to get to the top spot but, 2nd place is coming into view!!
:lovetpu:

Although @phill passed me up, with his farm of servers, I am closing in at 69th (probably sometime tomorrow). @Sasqui mentioned, some time ago, he was coming for me!! That was before I bought the T 3500.

For the record, I bought another T 3500 and have a winning bid on another HP 8300 Ultra Slim. But this one has an i5 3470 (I think), and will be even more of a little monster. My Opti, w/ an i5 2400, is doing a 1000 more points a day than the i3 2120's. I expect the 3470 to be a little better!

Hopefully I can win the bids. I will know at @ 9:30 am CST.

:peace:
