If you have a fast charge port on a computer, use that, or a wall socket adapter that has a higher output than the usual 5V 500mA.
I have my phone connected to a wall socket adapter that outputs 5V 1000mA.
Yup, a powerful charger is definitely needed. Mine is 5V 2A and it still barely charges because my Note 4 is a power hog, even when it's only running at half speed because of throttling.

I'ma have to find a powered USB hub since it's two phones and I don't really want to use up two outlets for it. I'll probably have to in the end.

These are very fast chargers. But, they need to be stable, un-moving, to last long. I used to buy these in two's and three's because I used them with my Anker battery in my pocket. They don't last long that way. The one that stayed in my bedroom, is still good. But, I have a new phone and it uses USB-C. So, I have no more use for them, yet...Perhaps something other than my Anker Battery will use mini usb ?

Here are the correct wall plugs to drive the porta-pow cords.

These kept my phone charged at a hundred, while crunching AND would charge TO 100 while crunching.

Thank you @BarbaricSoul. It must have been a big one to have them still working on it and it still not up.

WCG is back up and running! :toast::clap::toast::clap::toast::clap::toast::clap::toast:

Re: Unplanned website outage 2017-06-25.
To continue on my statement from before, it looks like we are still getting more than usual amount of scheduler requests, however the system is running smooth. Usually we process around 100k results per hour. However in the first hour, we processed 500k without issues. We are on queue to handle another 500k this hour.

Also, the validators are processing results and the transitioner has caught up 100%. This means that all the results that have been uploaded will soon be validated.


Thanks,

Now it's back to 98%.:laugh:

Now back to 99% :rolleyes: I'm going to leave it included but I doubt there's any more work coming from it. Maybe just resends? I have zero SCC now but I'll keep it added for the time being.

Crunching away now on MCM working toward the next 10yr badge in that project. Currently at 8yrs 98days.

Well... I kinda gave up on selling my original 1800x, so since i also have some ddr4 I figured I'd grab an Asus prime B350-plus and a Hyper 212 evo and set it away crunching. I'll swap out the skt775 stuff and maybe recommission that when I move and have space for all this junk!

Just an update, my mother had surgery in the fall and they successfully removed the cancerous tumor and could not find any other traces of cancer in her body. She had a check-up a couple days ago and they found two new growths in the same lung. Not the news we were hoping for. My mom is 73 and the last surgery/recovery was pretty rough on her. They are heading back to Phoenix to see the cancer specialists that did her original biopsy and surgery. If you are a person that believes in prayers (I am), please send some our way. I am trying to not be bitter/angry, but it is hard.
I forgot to give you folks an update in regards to my mom and her battle with cancer. They had to wait almost a month down in Phoenix before getting a biopsy. They did discover that she has Stage 4 lung cancer. So they ran more tests and luckily the other scans did not indicate that the cancer had spread (bones, organs, brain). They spent another month down there (luckily they have a nice home in the Phoenix area), but the temperature was reaching 110 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit!!! They ended up deciding to put her on a medication called Tarceva - which is designed to interfere with the growth of cancer cells and slows their spread in the body. They finally made it back to Alaska this last week and she is in really good spirits. My dad is having a rough time. He feels somewhat guilty of possibly causing her to have lung cancer because he used to smoke cigarettes back in the '60's and '70's.
I appreciate all of your prayers/thoughts and will ask that you continue to do so as she fights this terrible disease.

I wish I had more money to buy some more crunchers:(
The wife and I are expecting a baby girl in August and I have to be a little more responsible with our money:)

Well dammit! One of my TPLink power whatsit's took a big dump sometime in the last day or two and I lost total internet service down in the basement. :(

Needless to say, my numbers are going to be down a lot as the Kreijtech system and my server was both hooked up to the power line adapter.

I didn't even know this until about an hour ago. :banghead:

This is really sad! It's so depressing hearing about so many of our loved ones being struck by this nasty thing cancer.

Frustrating indeed. :(

You know what would be cool? If somehow an email or alert could be sent when one of our machines loses connection with the grid. I know it would help me because I'm always oblivious and finding out late that my rig or 2 has gone down ;)

I post this Thread in the General Hardware. Since you all are Cruncher's and many are also on Linux, perhaps you might know this right off.

This is the Thread: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/i-happen-to-see-this-on-ark-intel-site.234755/

Thanks in advance if you know this!!

EDIT:

OK, so, turns out, as I expected, Mint 18 has this issue covered. I think it's all the fuss with the SkyLake and KabyLake HT crap that alerted my Spidey sense when I saw the word "Microcode"!!

:laugh:

TPU wins the day, AGAIN!! The fountain of Knowledge that is the pleasant site that I love...

TechPowerUp, is there any better place to be?

I just hope your mum is comfortable and able to enjoy life for as long as possible @HammerON, that sucks :ohwell: On a lighter note, fantastic news about your daughter! Not long now! I hope Mrs HammerOn is doing well. ;)

Crunching update:
Well, I ripped all the skt775 stuff out of the ancient Antec 900, and got pretty much finished installing the new motherboard/cpu/ram with the exception of the CPU cooler.. I didn't notice the 212 evo doesn't come with an AM4 bracket!! :banghead: Hopefully I'll have that up and crunching full time pretty soon.
Am I right in thinking linux mint will work okay with the new hardware? I don't need to do anything like sysprep on windows?

Fan wires were annoying, had to use an old fan splitter i made, this stupid board only has 2 chassis fan headers! Oh, and don't worry about the backplate, the am4 bracket uses the stock cooler mounts, for once I actually thought something through before racing ahead! :laugh:

edit - bracket arrived, system is up and running now :)

You know what would be cool? If somehow an email or alert could be sent when one of our machines loses connection with the grid.
That might be a good question over in the networking thread. TeamViewer can help....

@infrared Why do you think Mint won't work? It, 18, has worked in everything I have put it on. Granted, I am unsure what is in your build but, I'm unsure what the problem would be?

I know it would work with the hardware on a fresh install but wasn't sure since it was installed with old intel stuff. Windows wouldn't be happy about the swap unless you cleared the old drivers off first, I expect linux will handle it better but was just double checking :)

The crunching farm is getting out of hand lol, here's what i've got so far:

1800x 4ghz/asus corsshair vi hero/2x 8gb gskill tridentz/1080Ti/evga 750w G3
1800x stock/asus prime b350 plus/2x 8gb hyperx (not ryzen friendly)/ATI X1650 pro/enermax 650w <-- new addition :)
6700k 4.6ghz/asus Z170 pro gaming/2x 8gb hyper x/2x gtx titan 6gb/evga 850 G2
QX9560 stock - decommissioned for the minute
AMD A8 4500M laptop (~2k ppd)
i3 4170 - parent's pc, only 24/7 for the contests
