I called Norton this morning all is well. He is just swamped at work and having a family life something had to give. So he has to take a break for a little while but he will be back. If anyone wants his number to call him just send me a PM. I do understand where he's coming from I was in the same predicament couple months ago. That's why I haven't been on much. But he is doing well and he misses us too.

Thank you so much for calling! I'm glad he's able to relax and take a break, I'm sure he really needed it. A certain stress is relieved knowing you spoke, thanks. :)

Hey guys, looks like this storm down here is going to be a jerk and cause some issues. I'm posting now because you never know when power cuts out or when cell service goes down. I'm expecting power to go out early this evening, so I may not be online for a few days, but I'll be back when I can. I'm powering down the rigs over the next hour, and I'm going to try to move stuff away from windows. Everything should be fine though and we should be safe... I had some beer at lunch and about to have some more :D

I trust it'll blow by, and as long as my family is safe, I'll be quite happy. So to anyone else in the potential path, stay safe and be cautious. Can't replace life!


See you guys later! :toast:

I remember Hurricane Bob, I was at my family's house in Martha's Vineyard of the time if I recall correctly it was 1991, I believe the wind speed got up to 180+ km/h. I remember running down the road with the wind at my back, you were able to run three or four times your actual running speed it was amazing but also very very deadly, the movie perfect storm was about that hurricane iirc.

Hey guys we're all good here. It missed us by going up more northern. Just typical rains, winds, and whatnot but nothing too severe. We are all good and safe, no complaints. Just spent the day making stops and checking in on friends and family.


Went to my grandparents' house to remove all their shutters, and after leaving they called because they noticed their big tree in the front of the house was partially uprooted and leaning towards the house. :eek: The tree tree did look funny, it looked closer to the roof but it didn't dawn on me while we were there. So we went back and ended up cutting off a whole lot of big branches that were leaning toward the house and partially over the roof. Cleared most of it out so it took weight off the leaning side, and their landscaping people are coming Sunday to remove the tree.

It saddens me to see the tree go because it's the tree we climbed as kids and loved, and now my girls climb it too. The front of the house will never look the same :(



But all is well. Rigs are back on and crunching.

I did notice something odd: rig 2 had an HST wu that was listed as "project aborted." Weird, that project never seems to fly straight.

An idea:
I run an i3-3220T 24/7/365 on Linux. I'm currently only working on OZ and HST, which means that I'm doing almost exclusively OZ, which gets great PPD on Linux. You can check my stats on FDC and see (well you can't see right now) that I get around 3,000 PPD, and that system pulls less than 50 watts.
Today, NE has the HP Desktop PC ProDesk 600 G1 (W5Y32UT#ABA) Intel Core i3 4th Gen 4160T (3.10 GHz) 4 GB DDR3 500 GB HDD Intel HD Graphics 4400 Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit with Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit upgradable for $285 and you get a $20 promotional gift card w/ purchase. (the same unit at CDW is over $700!) (didn't realize how similar those 2 CPU's are, just 300MHz seperating them) I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't pull less than 40 watts from the wall. It has no moving parts other than the HDD, so it's silent.
Back on sale, now at $280. If your monitor has multiple inputs, one of these could be installed on the VESA mounts for a zero footprint solution.

Edit: just saw that the i3-6300T version is also on sale (for the next 13 hours) for $350. Comparison

HI Everyone,

Thanks to all of you for the well wishes and concerns. :respect:


What happened? Short answer is I burnt out and disconnected for a while.... haven't even been lurking the site or doing much of anything except work stuff and going home. I have a mess of stuff going on and I've been trying to slog through it but couldn't seem to get any one thing done without two or more things filling up the space.

I sincerely apologize to everyone here and I hope to be back here as my regular old self soon but for now count on me to online daily and posting a little/lurking a little bit more as I catch up and the world starts making more sense.

:lovetpu:

@manofthem I hope you and your family are doing ok? That hurricane looked like it was way to close for comfort! :eek:

So awesome to hear from you! Sorry to hear that crap has been crap for you but a big cloud has been lifted from the team as we have seen that you're still breathing. Can't wait to see you around more, we've missed you.

Thanks for the concern from the storm. We are good, very good in fact; we are celebrating a post-Matthew at Magic Kingdom :roll:

No need for apologies, boss. I had taken several months off from some of my other forums, one of which I just went back on after six months. Life happens, and we have to deal with it the best we can.

Take it easy ;) :toast:

Anyone looking to expand their crunching farm?

I am going to cut back to just one rig, :( so I'm giving team members first crack at what I have. Currently running 3 and will keep 1, doesn't really matter which. All X99 with a 5820k, E5 2683v3, E5 2658v3. Would like to keep them all as cpu/mb/ram combo's.

PM if interested and I can give you a complete list of all I have available. :toast:

About 3 weeks ago I had a motherboard fry in one of the crunchers. Sucked big time.........Well, I found a smoking deal on an MSI Z97M Gaming motherboard new from RMA.

All great until today............Put the i7-4771 chip in and nothing!!!!

So, I have a Pentium G3220 chip in a little server. Pulled it and put in that MSI board and BOOM, it booted right up.

The short story is the dang i7-4771 chip is junk. :banghead:

Now I'm going to start looking for another chip. Either an i7 or i5 4xxx chip for crunching in that board.

Wow @stinger608 not all the time do we hear of a chip being fried, even as Crunchers! I'm sorry for your loss though, what a bummer. I hope for a speedy i7 score . :)

But when was the last time you used the 4771, was it working before?

But when was the last time you used the 4771, was it working before?

It was crunching up until the AsRock board fried. It must have took the processor with it.

FYI: Linux doesn't run perfectly forever.
I'm currently only running an i3-3220T which normally averages right around 4 days of work per day. Lately, it's been closer to 3.3 days. We had a couple of brownouts yesterday, so I Teamviewer'ed in to check (it had run right through them) and it finally dawned on me that something wasn't right. Psensor was showing that the CPU was constantly jumping between 100% load and 0% load. A restart got it back to 100% utilization.

The dual 14 core machine has been wonky for a while. I had to reinstall windows just to get the mouse and keyboard to work. But it's back so my ppd should be back to normal soon.
