thats too much vcore for me i can run that at 1.330 but 2 240mm rads wont help my temps. i need a refridgerator for my rads

@Norton where am i so far?

You're about 80% spooled up from what I see now- figure another 1,000 ppd (BOINC pts) or so to be 100% spooled up.

*note- when you get 100k BOINC points you get your WCG cruncher badge like we have in our sigs

You got rank 25th in points today and are placed 339th in terms of total points within the team.

Any of you Debian-heads know how I can get these Linux rigs to report work immediately? The "Easy WCG_config" does not work in Linux. Help @Mindweaver !

Just got the cooler changed on the 4670k from stock to a Corsair A50 (picked it up cheap on a performancepcs closeout, recommended by Norton).

Running at stock turbo boost of 3.8ghz, and temps are sitting in the high 50's, ~57C so far. That's an amazing difference of 30C over stock! :eek:

Now the 4670k is running at 100% so I hope I can get a little ppd boost

edit: also got a Rosewill wireless card installed in that pc, so now I don't need an ethernet cable stretching across the floor with tape over it :laugh:

Oh, I was wondering how that works. So I could get one then? I think I have like 200k BOINC points

I noticed my I3-2100 is doing around 2000-2500PPD and my I7 is kinda crazy, some days it will pull good and others it barely does anything. I kinda worry about that motherboard as if it had something to do with it or its just being difficult.

Yep, it worked. Kudo's Mad_Shot and Norton for steering me right! Both rigs CC_Config files have been edited. Now I should see some consistent points.

Norton, just copy-paste this into the terminal and press enter (will prompt for password, btw.) :

Code:

test -d /etc/boinc-client/ && \
( conf='/etc/boinc-client/cc_config.xml'; \
echo '<cc_config>' | sudo tee $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\t<options>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\t\t<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\t</options>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo '</cc_config>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\n\n\nDone\n') \
|| echo -e '\n\n\npoke Vinska on the forums – problems\n'; \
true

(based on a script from Cruncher's Guide To Linux Operating System
and thanks to this, I found there are several MAJOR bugs in the guide. Thanks, Norton! Gonna have to fix /____/ )

P.S. I totally forgot I was making that guide. *slaps self* :shadedshu:

Thanks again, Norton! For reminding.

dhoshaw · Feb 17, 2014

I'll have to see if I can get my old q9550 crunching again. For some reason BOINC keeps crashing even with a reinstall.

manofthem · Feb 17, 2014

You know, nothing can ever just go nice and smooth.

Just got home from work and found the 3rd pc shut down. My little nephew was over and apparently he was drawn to the power button's little blue led, and needless to say it was pushed! :banghead:

Little bugger! :mad:

Today could have been a good day for me but no.....

Just plug the power switch button into the motherboard and not the lights... unless you like them.

It's not my pc, it's my bro's 4670k rig. I don't recall there being a separate plug for the light but I'll check it, and if so, I guess I'll unplug for the remainder of the challenge to ensure it doesn't happen again. Then that pc is gone anyway

Nordic · Feb 17, 2014

There is. I only plug in the pwr sw and res sw. I want as few led's lit as possible. Darkness good.
