Sweet pile o' loot.

If you need homes for older gear, I'm not that far away

If you want to buy a 2600k system, a FX8 system, and two Xeon E3 systems, I'd be happy to meet somewhere in the middle

Just sold off an i7 920 system, so I bought two eight-core Xeons, and a second heatsink + fan for the HP DL380 G8. So much hardware!

thebluebumblebee · Mar 2, 2016

Did someone say 2600K?

Edit: Try Validation.
What's up with that? I was looking at the beta WU's sitting in my results status and noticed a button for "Try Validation" that I had not seen before. Clicking on that has gotten all of my pending validation beta's validated.

[Ion] · Mar 2, 2016

Ended up setting up one of the servers anyways

Running 2x X5690, 3x 1GB ECC DDR3, 1x 146GB SAS drive w/ Linux Mint. I'll see soon-ish what the estimated PPD is, but I suspect it'll be good.

Oh I would think so running dual X5690's man. :respect:

Well, it's racked up just shy of 15k points in about 11 hours. I'd call that pretty solid

stevorob · Mar 3, 2016

So I am going to be down a bit of PPD since I have stopped WCG on the x3440.. having some cooling issues with that rig so until i get that sorted, it will probably see limited running.

Hey team, I have a question slightly related to crunching that I would rather not open a new thread for. I want to make some sort of system for raid 10 to back up all my systems onto. I don't want to just buy a nas, that would be too easy. I would like to also have this nas crunch. I probably want hardware raid. So my initial questions are:

What should I look in a hardware raid controller? I am looking to use four 2tb drives in raid 10. Newegg gives me these options. I will probably just find some raid card used.
What OS should I use for NAS like purposes? I am assuming some variation of linux so I can crunch on this system.
If I wanted to access my files from anywhere, how might I do that. I guess that depends on what kind of software I use to back up.

FreeNAS is popular, but I don't think you'd be able to crunch on it. (Found this thread here about it.)

james888 said:

Forward a port on your router (FTP perhaps? SFTP?) and make sure your NAS box is SECURE.

Probably want to find a free/inexpensive dynamic DNS service too. This will let you get to your home IP regardless if DHCP changes it. (I had xvi.is-a-geek.com for a while before dyndns.org stopped their free service.)

So guys it saddens me to say, I lost one of my rigs yesterday. My FX 8150 rig, which did me well, burned a horrible death. The vrm circuits on the mobo gave all they could give but couldn't give any more and fried the back of the mobo. The cpu and rest of the components survived but the mobo is no longer with the living. So with that I am on the hunt for a Phenom II x6 cpu to upgrade one of my back up rigs. Now it is a junk box and has served me well crunching in the past. It was retired about 2 to 3 years ago. I fired it up with it's Athlon II x3 and it came to life ready to work. When it was ran in it's glory days it had a 1055t in it that has long been sold off. :nutkick:

Doing that to myself now. SO if anyone has a lead on a decent priced X6 let me know. The board will run all Phenom II procs just it can't run FX series procs with it's ddr2 ass. :lovetpu:

xvi · Mar 3, 2016

~~Would board+cpu work better for you, or are you just thinking CPU only?~~

Edit: Actually, would just a board get you by? I have an ASUS Sabertooth 990FX Rev 2.
Edit 2: Reading is hard. I see CPU only then.
Edit 3: Por que no los dos?

Post that pic you sent me!

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Mar 4, 2016

Ok but it may make me cry. That was the rig named Alice after Alice from the Resident evil movies. Though She couldn't die.

Norton · Mar 4, 2016

Was the 8150 overclocked?

Just checked my Newegg account- unfortunately the last of those boards I bought was 1/2013... just past the 3 year warranty

No I didn't oc that one. LOL Left all at auto.

manofthem · Mar 4, 2016

I decided to add CEP2 back into the mix. It's taken me forever to get anywhere in that project, but it needs some love from me for the time being. Hopefully if I stick with it, it'll work out

Peter1986C · Mar 4, 2016

FYI, some of their WUs have grown in length.

It seems the VRM's tend to run hot on most AMD boards and need active cooling. A CPU cooler that blows down on the board may be more effective.

PP Mguire · Mar 4, 2016

Seems I got the 620 issue sorted. PCI-E slot 1 died :confused:

Well it lived for about 3 years as a 24/7/365 cruncher. It did well.

thebluebumblebee · Mar 4, 2016

I'd check if it's still under warranty.

[Ion] · Mar 5, 2016

Got three of the dual-X5690 servers up and going now :toast:

The 4P Opty6128 is off until next weekend; it's spring break here and my friend who is hosting it has gone home for the week. But the rest of my equipment is still up.

You weren't kidding! Some of these CEP2 wus are taking nearly 18hrs on my 2600k system; ~14hrs on 4770k. To make it worse, just checked my wcg page and found errors in the last 2 days or so, terrible.

Upon further investigation, I got many errors on all my systems for the BETA cep wus I received in late Feb. Can anyone check theirs and see if they experienced anything similar?

I just removed CEP2, and I think I'm going to cancel the remaining CEP2 WUs; it's not worth it to run them if they're taking up a lot of time just to error out.

thebluebumblebee · Mar 5, 2016

I've had lots of errors on beta's over the last month, and when I click on them, I see that EVERYONE has too. My attitude is that since it's so hard to get beta time, and since I still get points and time for WU's that error, bring 'em on!

Thanks for the info. :respect:

Now that i look back and click on the results, what I'm seeing makes more sense, and I can see others get the errors too. Nothing to be alarmed about I see

Still, CEP2 is done for me because I'm getting errors with those, the only project that gets errors.
