That's essentially what the Snooze feature does, albeit only for 1hr (right click BOINC icon in system tray, select snooze). There was supposed to be an option added to allow you to set the Snooze timer, but I do not think its been added at this time (nor is it configurable through cc_config.xml editing).

Will definitely try it out, thanks! :respect:

Interestingly, earlier today instead of pausing it to play a little Dead Space, I left it crunching and fired up the game. Turns out the game ran fine while crunching away, so I'll be doing that for the time being in this game.

I've never paused BOINC for gaming (or anything for that matter, other than for hardware/thermal related issues).

Haven't had any issues on any PC (that I'm aware of). Task scheduler should keep this pushed to the background fairly well.

Hmm, I'm interested in how many others don't pause for gaming sessions and the like.... I've tried gaming before when BOINC was running, but there were a few games that gave me some issues. I suppose it only applies to really cpu intensive games.

Also, I would pause while running a few other programs here and there, when it was rather important stuff going on and I couldn't handle the stuttering, some adobe stuff.

I'll have to try pausing it to see if I notice anything.

Even running the 4790K I've had issues when running intense games. Usually on older games I don't even bother pausing BOINC but the newer games I sure do.

Also notice that I added a couple of dual processor combo's in my for sale thread here:

Well it has been about 10 months since I reformatted my main rig and did not continue crunching on it. I decided last year to just crunch on the Q6600 rig to save on the electric bill. I started my main rig crunching again a couple days ago.
Anyways, in regards to gaming and crunching, I find it easier to just pause when gaming and then resume after. I had issues when I had my i7 920 rigs when gaming and crunching at the same time (BF3 and Crysis 3).

I haven't paused boinc either when gaming and have never noticed any issues.

neither do i, i run GTA5 all the time, the first time, i admit it wasnt intended, but i didnt notice it was running until 20-30 minutes into gaming, and by that time, i had enough gaming time in to have noticed that it didnt make a shits difference.....so now i just have it set to 100%, 100% of the time, all 8 threads, and i haven't even noticed a difference in performance, in anything. there seems to be a small startup difference loading icons, etc...but im talking 3-6 seconds.

Hi team. Thought I should explain my poor numbers.
First a forgot to pay my internet bill.( I'm blond)
Second my 6990 died, if I can't fix it I will put it 8 ft under ground. :laugh:

and trust me I repair cracks in foundations I dig that every day :lovetpu:

Guys, BOINC does autopause when system load reaches a certain (user-adjustable) threshold. When facing problems, just adjust the threshold.

Aye, good reminder, I forgot about that. I did try that before but never hit it quite right while gaming (It'd pause then kick back in, then pause... I guess I just needed it set lower) I'll give it another go.

Edit: turns out I did mess with that way back and left it at 75%, which is just too high for gaming. I dropped it to 10% and now it's stopping when I strike up a game

Edit 2: and here comes the problem. Finding a level low enough so gaming stops often results in pauses while doing other stuff on the pc while not gaming. Been monitoring it now and I've had several pauses that are making me mad

Got the water loop put together and running last night, all thanks to @kenkickr sending me the pump/res combo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/the-kreijtech-system.223316/page-3#post-3509529

Checked the system this morning and all the air is out with no leaks!!!

Now it's time to put this system together and get er crunching!

Oh yeah, that's awesome! Thanks for posting it! :respect:

Now, I'm going to be out of town that weekend and coming back Monday or Tuesday. I'll have to catch whatever I can wherever I can. But...what is this Comet TV thing? (off to Google)

Edit: Comet looks pretty awesome, perhaps my new favorite channel, channel 214, just found it :rockout:

Notice that they're also streaming.

Anyone else feel stale? I haven't done anything crunching wise, no upgrades, no hardware swaps, no extra pc build, nothing. I feel like I am forgetting something :laugh:

That's what no funds will do to a Cruncher :rolleyes:

Oh man, I can dig the "no funds" bro!

If it wasn't for @kenkickr sending me that pump and res, I wouldn't be able to finish the dang Kreijtech system for at least another couple of weeks.

Speaking of the Kreijtech system, I should be pretty close to finish tonight.

Of course, I have taken pictures.......LOL

I wish I could get my new system crunching safely. I delidded the i7 6700k since it was hitting 100 Celsius with any 80-100% load. Changed the paste and was doing great for a couple days maxing at 58 Celsius then one day started the 100 Celsius crap again. Hoping to play with it some more this weekend.

HammerON · Aug 23, 2016

I just ordered MSI X99A Gaming Pro Carbon (based on @cadaveca review

), G.Skill TridentZ 32GB DDR43200 and a i7-6900K. I have not upgraded for several years and decided it was time to make a change. I am hoping to keep my current main rig as well and have both crunching for the team.

I always have something in the mix but unfortunately time and energy are in short supply for me atm.

I am sidegrading my main PC in a mitx case with a SFX psu, but that is to make it easier to fit a second hdd.

I am going to be getting my celeron g1620 crunching again as I make use of it in a home server.

Was sitting here trying to finish up some work and the power went out :wtf:

The whole neighborhood is down ... hope they fix it soon.

AND.. power is back. Less than 40 minutes total so not terrible

Could someone give poor ignorant me some context to this photo? I am assuming this wasn't photoshoped. How is the whole so small but so deep? Is that a septic system? How long is the guy under there for? He does have help right, in case he falls in or something? Why?
