Mobo, CPU and RAM came in about an hour ago. I was not paying enough attention though, when it comes to te RAM. Instead of buying 2x2GB I bought one stick of 4GB. The performance difference should be negligible though, or at least it is not worth the hassle of paying about €20 extra for a trade-in with the shop (shipping back plus like €12 more for a dual-channel kit). So I will keep it as it is, I suppose.

I will rebuild the PC tomorrow.

Well, for me MCM has the very same problem, too.

My systems aren't able to upload any WUs right now, but downloads are still going on....so at least thee isn't a risk of running out of work ASAP.

librin.so.1 · Nov 13, 2013

Well, all but one of my WUs uploaded just now.
The remaining one WU is stuck with:

Code:

2013 m. lapkričio 13 d. 15:54:24 | World Community Grid | [error] Error reported by file upload server: System temporarily overloaded: file uploads are temporarily disabled.

So it appears people are uploading those accumulated finished ones en masse

[Ion] · Nov 13, 2013

W1zzard has graciously offered the guy (or team) behind the WCGsigs hosting from TPU's image server, so that would be an awesome solution to the difficulties yesterday :toast:

Been doing another YT video for the past six days. And gee, video making /editing is HARD. I finally finished it. ...two days overdue of my original deadline
Been working on it so much non-stop, I now reek, am hungry like a wolf in winter, my hands are shaking like a leaf and my back hurts like no idea what.
I say: screw this! And so despite all the protests, just informed my "employer" that I am taking a vacation. Conveniently, during that crunching challenge.
Okay time to get some of that well-deserved sleep. phew...

Hopefully, your "employer" can appreciate your hard work and lack of comfort, food and sleep, with a healthy dose of cure all. Namely, Cash Money!

BTW, 'lack of sleep' is my middle name, I feel as though I constantly need to find a sandy beach and chill. Unfortunately, there are none locally comfortable enough, this time of year, i.e. cold. :cry:

Anyways, Take Care!

Arjai · Nov 13, 2013

So, about a half an hour ago, 9:30 locally CST, all my WU's uploaded fine. They were all FAAH and no hitches. Might have been a CEP2 in there, too, don't remember.

Anyways, seems to have been resolved.

Also, I have some MCM's, un run, in my cache/queue. Since they are of the faulted random number batch, should I just abort them? Seems like more trouble than it is worth, literally, to run them.

Any thoughts?

Ssssoooooo.. I kind of sort of impulse bought a server. It should arrive in the middle of the competition. I think I have touch of buyer's remorse, but the crunch flu is helping me get over it.

HP DL180 G5. Only has one Xeon E5405, but should have two sockets. I'm trying to keep this build inexpensive. Any suggestions on where to pick up two good socket 771 crunch-happy workhorses on the cheap (besides eBay, of course)?
Also, having trouble figuring out if the socket will take a 120 or 150 watt processor. Halp?

Well, HP doesn't list that it is orderable with those CPUs (link) but Intel says that the chipset supports them click 'compatible products' here. So I dunno. But it seems like the E5420-E5450 is probably the best performance/$.

I just dunna know if the VRMs can take it, cap'n. </scotty>

I figure it's either a VRM problem or a heatsink problem. Included PSU is 750 watts, so I can't imagine they'd skimp on VRMs. I've seen some sites that sell the 120 and 150 watt CPUs as an upgrade kit for that model, but they're few and far between (enough to make me think they didn't bother testing and it's really a no-go.)

i install WCG on an old q9650 and i noticed it only started 1 job rather than 8 jobs (1 per thread). this is on windows 7 x64. what gives?

oh wait, nvm. it just took 10 minutes to load stuff up.

I see. I did not "know" him because I joined TPU a few months later than his moment of passing.

Sorry if I seemed an ignorant ass.

Easy Rhino · Nov 14, 2013

so i am wondering about the challenge... with the 980x running at like 75% will i be able to generate the 5000 points in that time period to qualify for a prize?

it seems like i can make it do about 750 points per day...

Yeah, I don't think you'll have a problem making it. We're going off BOINC points and a 980X is going to pull down more than 750/day even at 80%.

[Ion] · Nov 14, 2013

A 980X @ 75% should pull down 5k in pretty much a day, I think. Maybe a tad more.

As others have said... that 980X will have no issue hitting the qualifying number- that chip pulled 10-12k ppd @100% in Ubuntu when I ran it (clocked @ 4.1Ghz).

Also, we are going to allow up to 1 extra week past the challenge so late or slower crunchers can qualify for a prize.

No joke. I jump up to #5 and TRWOV and Tski follow me there. Now we got some new people joining who might contest that spot also. At least it is a fun cold war. :peace:
