Thanks Tski I will check my version cause I believe I maybe running the beta build and I will switch to the most current stable.

This, is probably the one scenario I hadn't thought of. I tend to skip the BETA, of most everything.

I prefer to have things, mostly, run smoothly. I dink around, now and again, but, if it don't work when I am done dinking around, I make sure that it gets back to the working condition. What?

I'm not sure that means what I meant it to say. V1.1:

I allot a certain time frame for dinking around. Within that allotment, I set aside time to fix what I may have bunched up. Therefore, I usually have a working computer, sometimes better than before the dinking around!

There, that is better, no?

:D
 
I've been thinking/ dreaming, lately. About a lot of things. When things change in my life, I often daydream about how I would like things to be or, about how these changes will affect things.

Anyways, my thoughts are these. With my little i5 and two additions, namely two i7's, I could settle in for a regular slice of pie.

Things change, always do, so by the time this scenario can be played out it will, more than likely, have to be amended.

But, judging by the different systems crunching here, I think two i7's @ about 3-3.5 GHz are worth close to 5 grand each per day. With the little i5 doing what it does, I would break the top 10 at least once a week!

:cool:
 
im hunting on a Rampage II Gene +i7-920/6gb ram/650w corsair psu and the heatsing seems to be a Prolimatech Megahalems :D a little less than 85$ atm 2days and 10hrs left

That's a nice combo and a great price if you can get it for that! :toast:

Good luck! I would have put a reserve price on that set up. If you can land that for under 200, it will still be an AWESOME, deal. Under 300, for that matter. Less than the CPU, currently $359 on Amazon!
 
i got a Rampage III Extreme +12gb ram + a spare P6T SE + a i7-920 *what i am using atm as a "mainrig" :D for 100$ i hope to get that mATX for crunching but i dont expect to be the last bidder ... people tend to get ballistic when it come to intel XD

Just installed Bonic on my new i7 workstation. Will crunch 12 hours a day from now on. :D
 
I discovered my desktop's SSD had run out of space and it wasn't allowing me to download/run any more WUs. I have freed up about 5GB and hopefully can free up more space soon.

Yep, I had four i7 3770K's averaging at ~5K a day
 
So I reinstalled windows on my 2500k machine. In downloaded WU's but they immediately said computation error.

Time and Date correct on the rig?

desktop ssd too small? sounds like upgrade time :D

It's a 240GB lol. The 500GB models are still a bit pricey for me, unfortunately. All I need to do is delete the Steam games I have installed on the SSD, and reinstall them on the full 2TB HDD. These few games at the time weren't capable of being installed on a separate drive from the Steam program, but now they have support for that. :)

I might pick up a cheap 3TB off the forums, saw one for $90 today.
 
I haven't had a chance to back up my linux install on my SSD and have Win8 installed on an old, slow 160GB drive. Steam takes up almost all of the space. I have a feeling that's what's hurting my PPD on that machine. I lowered my queue length hoping that would help free up space (it seems to have).
 
When I woke up this morning, I checked my BOINC manager. Since I don't have internet in my bedroom, I can see the jobs that are finished. Well, to my surprise 4 of the CEP2's were done, with run times around 6 hours.

From what I just saw, on WCG, is that they were valid, about 50-60 points per. Not sure how I feel about that. 10 points, or less, per hour?

Oh well, it is what it is. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this with any of their WU's from CEP2?
 
Happens to me too sometimes.

It was off by 1 minute. Appears the damage is done. WCG isn't downloading anything.
 
Just 2 questions.

1. how do i get the wcg cruncher on my sig? :o:banghead:

2. would it actually help if you installed boinc on a ram drive?. I think I know the answer to that but the access times would be faster.

Did you reset the project?
 
Check BIOS for any wrong setting, if you recently updated drivers go back to the previous one, check whether thermal paste is starting to dry out.
 
We have winner. WU's downloading. Still say computation error.

Check the event log when the wu's error out- it may give some info that can be used to fix the issue....
 
I don't know about you guys, but I'm pumped up and ready to go for the competition! I brought my C2D-M 2.8GHz system back online on Monday, and I'll be setting up even the old Atom when I have a few minutes. It's not great, but it's still worth ~350 PPD :toast:

Ah, yes. An astounding ~0.4375% percent extra PPD. :rolleyes:

(Extra science is extra science though. Always happy to have one more machine.)
