Man they sure piled on the work loads for me today, its the first time I've seen it fill up so fast compared to any of the past times I've helped out.

Weird

Stupid question, this is a new rig and still not 100% sure on how it reacts to voltage especially undervolt'n it.

It this crunching a good stress test if I can call it that?

It will for sure "stress" a CPU. Don't know if it compares to some of the CPU stress tests or not, but it will for sure push your CPU to full load.

It'll be a good stress test for your rig (though it won't test every aspect like gpu and such). I think it is a very good test for cpu OC stability since crunching is long term; if a cpu can crunch for several days, that bodes well for the stability.

Downloaded and fired up BOINC on my i7 Alienware laptop................For a few minutes...................It was pushing the processor to about 98c!!!!

Dang, it! Couldn't justify those temps.

Check the paste on the laptop and any dirt in the fans and heat pipes.
what is the model and cpu model on the alienware laptop?

Did all of that a month or so ago. Just a typical laptop issue I guess.

Oh heck, I'd have to dig it back out. LOL. I think it's last generation i7 if I'm not mistaken.

I wouldnt run that laptop that those temps. If its last gen, then the entire cpu is soldered to the motherboard along with the graphics card.

Wow, TPU racked up 10M points in one day???

Yup, 10.6 million yesterday. The day before we hit 12.3 million :eek:

No, the chip, as well as the video card, are removable. It might be a bit older. It came factory with an HD7970 video card.

ohhh, is the screen, 17inch or 18inch.

I still wouldnt let the laptop run with those temps. The 7970m didnt have the best reliability record, my friend's kid alienware laptop with the 7970m just failed last week, my own alieware laptop, when I had it, one of the 7970m failed. On a laptop forum, there' tons of people with more 7970m issues than Nvidia.

Just becareful, maybe run BOINC at 50%.

It's the 17.3" screen.

I had it out a bit ago and it's an Alienware m17x r4.

Boatvan · Mar 27, 2017

I hate automatic windows updates... One of my rigs rebooted 2 days ago and BOINC never kicked on after that. Just noticed my numbers were down. GRRRRRR :mad:

fullinfusion · Mar 27, 2017

Oh no! I totally forgot about the dam updates. I wasnt going to leave it unattended as I'm away and beit a complete new build and I disabled start with Windows.. I did it just to see if by chance the chip became unstable while I'm gone for the next 4 days.. I hope no major updates come out till later in the week..

But don't updates cancel out a restart if the machine is under full load :confused:

manofthem · Mar 27, 2017

My caseless pc got its ethernet unplugged, not sure how. This rig is always giving me trouble man :mad:

got back uploading again but still, frustrating :rolleyes:

Corrected that for you.

Haha, sandbagging 101 :laugh:

I should do that one day with all the rigs: increase my buffer, unplug, wait, replies, and grab some pie again.

Norton · Mar 27, 2017

4 days left to go in the challenge!

We've done a great job so far- Thanks to everyone for kicking it up a notch!!!

I have a special challenge for the prize pool....

If we reach 100 Team members crunching before the end of the challenge I will double both of my Paypal donations from $25 to $50

Finally got the new m/b and the ryzen 1700 is up and running with stock cooler. Does anyone know of any temp software that recognizes the ryzen chip? I've tried coretemp and a couple of other utilities but none work. I have no idea what my temps are. It doesn't burn my fingers when I touch the heatsink but I'd to get a better gauge of how things are than that. LOL.

About that ryzen OC software ? Just can't remember the name of it but a quick search will have ya going. Here https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/ryzen-master

infrared · Mar 27, 2017

HWMon / Aida64 will give you the temp, remember it's +20 above what the actual temp is, so don't be freaked out by seeing 80+c lol.
Or Ryzen Master as fullinfusion suggested, I haven't actually installed this yet since I do all my oc'ing from the bios, but that would work too to keep an eye on temps.

@Norton Wow, nice one :toast:
