That would actually be quite fitting, especially with his job :laugh:

aww, wish Norton and everyone all the best and hope he can join back soon :toast:

manofthem · Dec 2, 2016

Came home today to find my main rig off. Not sure at all what happened, maybe the little one hi the power button but not really likely. The other rigs were find and running so I doubt it was a power issue.

Indeed sir. We'll have to have an online party when Norton makes his return.

Very sorry for your loss man!!!!!! It is a terrible issue that most of us have to go through at some time in our lives.

I wish we could all crunch more but just remember, we are at least trying to help future generations!!!!!! Hopefully some day it will be like the common cold.

I was about to add that back the other night into the rigs but I decided to wait to see if I can hit 10yr diamond in OZ. I need like 160 day runtime by the deadline in January, and while I'm not sure if I can reach that, I'm hoping I can do it. If I do, I'll be adding FAAH and MCM back in.

Looks like you're running 24 threads? 160/24=6.67 You'll be there in a week. Or,

if your systems keep giving you grief, even 16 threads will get you there in 10 days. I'm expecting my 5 year for Christmas!

We'll I hate to split hairs but only 23 threads, 1 reserved for folding

either way, it'll be exciting

And Congrats on your upcoming 5 years!

Normally I always check all the systems every day or couple of days to ensure they are crunching along okay. Been sick for 3 or 4 days and naturally, that is when crap happens.

No fun when you're sick, it throws off your whole rhythm. Hope you feel better.

But now I can relate... Checked the 4790 rig this morning and saw it was crunching but for some reason the resolution was all messed up. Set resolution back to normal, but checked GPUz to see if everything was working correctly. It appeared to be but I checked temps and the 270x was at 93*F at idle :eek:

No idea what happened. The cooler must have crapped out completely, it was somewhat faulty a while back but never like that. So I had to shut down the system since I was headed out but I'll look into it later.

Anyone else getting some HST's? I've gotten 7 over the last few hours.
Oh, and the end date for OZ has been removed. @manofthem , you can get that 10 year badge without a problem.
Weather report: It was right at freezing here, but not cold enough to freeze the roads, then it snowed and the temperature dropped about 5 degrees. The snow melted on the roads initially and then started freezing on the roads. The roads are now covered with packed snow which is basically ice. Everything shut down, again.

I believe I'm currently running only OZ so no HST yet for me. But I'll add them back in tomorrow since you say the deadline for OZ was removed

progress will be slower with the 1 rig down, shut down this morning and didn't get a chance to look at it.

Your weather sounds terrible! It's hard to imagine life like that when you're accustomed to Florida weather, where the coldest it gets is like maybe high 40s for a day. I did just get back from a little trip to NYC, and it was pretty chilly there, 37-42F. Thankfully it didn't snow/rain/ice so I didn't have to drive through that craziness.

manofthem · Dec 20, 2016

So I was far busier than I had hoped over the weekend and didn't get to swap gpus. Interestingly, I started up the pc this morning before leaving just to see what happens and it seemed OK before leaving. I came back later in the afternoon and surprisingly temps were still good on the gpu, around 50. Then I checked it tonight and gpu temp shot up to 94 again, with fans at 100% :mad:

But the something puzzling happened... As im looking at the numbers, they start to drop off. They dropped all the way down into the high 50s with the fans decreasing also. So I'm slightly puzzled about it. My thought it was the heatsink is wacky and at times it just doesn't work, fans must be done.

I'm going to let the pc run over night and check it if I remember at times. I my just let it run til the card gives out, or til I have to swap cards. I just hate to see the pc off and my numbers down.

Edit: checked this next morning around 7 am and temps were good. Just remoted in and temps still good, maintaining temps around 48. Maybe the gpu is schizophrenic.

I'm scaling back on my rigs, and will probably have something up for sale after the holidays. We'll see how things go.

I know there are a few of you guys out there using moar core Xeon CPUs (Haswell/Broadwell-E)- have a couple questions as I narrow down the CPU search if someone doesn't mind me picking their brain :toast:

Nordic · Dec 28, 2016

@HammerON I was looking at your 6900k to see what kind of PPD or RAC an 8 core Zen might produce. I was thinking I might see about 8k RAC from your 6900k. Instead I see about 13k. WOW.

What do you have that thing clocked at?

Hey team, I've been missing for a few days so I wanted to say hello. It was quite a busy weekend, and then we started the week by getting a wicked cold, myself and the kids. Splitting headache hasn't subsided in over 3 days now, but thankfully it's a slow week anyway. Today is the first day this week where I had a little energy and was able to mess around with some stuff. Hope everyone is doing better than me :laugh:
