Pretty soon with AMD's new releases next year they'll be cheaper. So just hang on

One thing that is slightly worrying me;

HWMonitor was reporting the cooling fan RPM's correctly earlier, now it's juggling between 0 and 675,000 lol
And also, my +3.3v line looks waaay too low, or is it commonly mis-reported?

 

[Chicken Patty]

I would say mis-reported. Get a multimeter and check it yourself to be sure.

 

[scaminatrix]

My old faithful multi-meter died on me last month; it was ooold! Everest says +3.3v is all good, so definite mis-report. Cheers CP

 

[Chicken Patty]

Cool, we are good then.

So far, I don't think Free-DC has updated today yet

When you've finished a WU, how big is the completed file that you upload to WCG (I guess it varies, just kinda looking for a rough figure)?

Care of WCG.COM:

* The 20-80 upload for Clean Energy excludes me from the project

Same here, thanks theonedub
The upload sizes of the other projects in general are much less than I thought they would be though.

You also need to run linux for CE2, that project isn't available for windows yet

Also, a little late but welcome onboard scaminatrix. I see you're in the UK, so if you need stuff that can help you crunch let me know in case I have anything lying about.

 

[theonedub]

Didnt know that, thanks for the heads up KieX.

Thanks KieX, I'll be looking for a better CPU HSF once I get a decent CPU; I'll definately keep you in mind. Cheers mate

I'm back

Got BOINC running again after 2 days down. I guess after a solid year of no issues, my time was due. I had to kill all transfers, reset the project, and BOOM files started flying down the internet to my PC.

I promise to pay more attention and not wait for my crunching badge to disappear to warn me somethings wrong.

It can happen bro, glad you are back up and running.

i broke my phone yesterday so sorry guys but the money i was going to spend toward the 2nd cruncher on a smart phone. unless i can convince myself to get a cheaper not smart phone.

Meh, shit happens bro. Do what you gotta do, Christmas is around the corner, sure you'll get a few bucks then or what not for a cruncher maybe.

the GF is telling me to get a normal phone(one with a keyboard and not a smart phone) and spend the money on the other rig I think you guys would like her(but i won't put a blonde on a tech site that could be a fail)

Yea, I've tried everything;
When I use cores 0,1,3 I can O.C to 3.8GHz;
but when I use cores 0,1,2 I can get to 3.4GHz with the same voltage as it takes 0,1,3 to get to 3.8GHz.
Core number 2 doesn't like me much
I'll just stick with a comfy 3.2GHz quad till I can get a hex-core for cheap.

Well that's not so bad....and it's more of a reason to upgrade to a hex

Software voltage monitoring is frequently wrong, I'd ignore it

So far, I don't think Free-DC has updated today yet

Yeah...something's really wrong w/ it lately hwell

* The 20-80 upload for Clean Energy excludes me from the project

My experience is that upload is almost always right at 22mb...which does take some time to upload, but IMO it's not so bad

Didnt know that, thanks for the heads up KieX.

It's a shame, as it means only my laptop can do it. It's going to take a very long time to get badges w/ a max of 2 days of runtime a day for it

Glad it's working again!

How did it break?

Sorry to hear that

But having a nice smartphone is great

dropped it face down on a hardwood floor and broke the screen :shadedshu
looking at getting a smartphone with windows mobile, its some kind of HTC professional phone or a Palm Pre plus possibly a Samsung i910

Windows Mobile 6.x is terrible, my parents have had WinMo6 phones and despised them. WinMo7 is looking good, as is Android.

Sorry that happened w/ your phone, I've been lucky enough that I haven't even dropped it yet

I can honestly say the more i use Android phones the more i hate them.

Maybe not such a good choice then

I love my Droid and wouldn't swap it for any non-Android phone, but I guess that's why the major vendors make a variety of phones. Everyone but Apple seems to have realized that one size doesn't fit all

i like the windows based phones but mostly the 7 based ones. I really like them. But if i could get a really good deal on a 6.x i would get it (by good deal i mean $50-100)

I wouldn't pay over $50 for one, but that's my choice. I hope whatever you get works out for you
