My 2695 has warmed up to 30C and my 5660 has warmed up to 64C. I think I'm ready.

That's the difference between an AIO WC setup and a Custom WC setup ;-)

Per thread. A 12 threaded system should be doing 10-14K PPD
Look at the numbers for my 4.4GHz 2600K that's running on Linux: http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=host&proj=bwcg&hostid=3314029

This shows how much difference there is between linux and windows. My 5820k at 4.3ghz with windows 10 barely beats your 2600k on linux.

Even my X58 system on linux was averaging around 10k a day.

Also there's a slight chance that I may be able to add my brothers cpu for the challenge in maybe 2 days, but I can't say for sure just yet. I'm supposed to see him tomorrow so I should know by tomorrow night.

Well as things would have it, plans got rescheduled, and then I hear he's be going out of town so the rig is a no-go... i tried :cry:

It depends on the WU. My Linux 2600K was getting 12K+ on OET's, but came crashing down when I put it to MCM where my 3770K on W7 that I use all day long regularly beat it.

Already running at 80±2°C on the cores. I know i shouldn't have taken out all the chassis fans :slap:

bubbleawsome · Mar 22, 2017

Alabama recently hit some 80+ degree days, so I'm feeling the heat for sure.

Mindweaver · Mar 22, 2017

I just added a 2500k to the mix.

Sasqui · Mar 22, 2017

Tech tip from @thebluebumblebee (thanks!)...

Very bottom two boxes of this dialog in WCG preferences, make sure % CPU time is at 100% ....it defaults to 60%!

And you have to do this for EACH WCG rig you're running.

I spooled up my Athlon X4 760K overnight. Its only running 2 threads, but my temps aren't right. Hwmonitor is reading 102-105c?!? System has been running for several hours that way and is still responsive. My CPU cooling fan occasionally spins up to 2.5k-2.6k RPMs for a bit, but then runs back down to 1.2k RPMs. I hope its still alive when I get home from work. My OC'd A6-3500 in my file server is also crunching away at a nice cool 41c.

On another note, I enslaved a few phones from work to join in. Got 2 Snapdragon 820's (HTC 10 & LG G5) and 4 A53 cores running.

Nordic · Mar 22, 2017

Just saw the challenge thread. I will not be adjusting my crunching in any way. I also am opting out of any prizes I may have been qualified for. Those glorious grand prizes should go to someone with more time and money to use it properly.

krusha03 · Mar 22, 2017

Idk if it was just adding the chassis fan or putting all fans to full speed also helped but just got my temps down by 10-12C. Feeling much better leaving the system on now unattended

TheoneandonlyMrK · Mar 22, 2017

So i tried getting four old p4s(????I thought they were) running but shit me I'll end up rage attacking them if I'm honest, i spent two nights trying to get an OS on them but even Linux is saying no oddly complaining i haven't got an x86 64 CPU , they were old but shit a biscuit .
And the biosi omfg wtf tf P o shit , would not let me pick usb to boot from in fact i couldn't change anything ,it didn't see the + or - key presses on four different keyboards including a ps2 , so i beat that pc up then binned all four.

But I've hatched a plan I'll update as it goes and it'll go something like this.

I fixed my mates lapy , it's shit but it's soak testing as we speak

.

Week long soak test me thinks and more friends and family pc fixing inbound

Apologies for language borderline Ness but that pc you had to be there.

thebluebumblebee · Mar 23, 2017

Hi everyone. It's you friendly neighborhood pie maker here inviting you all over to admire the great work that you've done for this challenge. Normally, 4,000+ points will get you into the top 40, but today that required over 7,000 points. I felt it was not right to leave people off of the list, so I selected all who had 4,000+ points today, which turned out to be 50! :toast:

Have you got pie today?

Sasqui · Mar 23, 2017

Here's what I'm throwing at WCG right now. It's keeping my natural gas heating bill down, but I'll be sad when the electric bill comes.

EVGA x58 X5670 4.2Ghz (full time WCG rig)
ASUS P6X58D-E X5670 4.2Ghz (2nd full time WCG rig)
MSI Z97 4790K* running at stock right now... buzzing along at a cool 4.1 Ghz
GIGA UD5H Z77 3570K at 4.6Ghz (I dialed that back from 4.7)
Part time (at night): Dell Precision M6700 Lappy i7-3840QM 2.8Ghz

Daytime: 36 Threads
Nighttime: 44 Threads

Looking forward to a BOINC update today :cool:

*Edit: corrected.
