[Ion] · Nov 16, 2013

Nah, what you have is fine :toast:

d1nky · Nov 16, 2013

not sure if I should whack it up to 5ghz without stability testing?!

last time I done 5 days of crash-free crunching on these clocks

edit - tried 5ghz crashed straight away.. oh well its never been 5ghz stable. just 5.7ghz benchable??!

SETI.Germany has a stats tool that will show challenge updates (WCG ppd) more frequently (added to the OP)

*Note- looks like there's a few sandbaggers in the top ranks :rolleyes:

However, we are in 7th place at the 1st hr.

Alright, I am in.

Got my 3770K back up to running 8 threads since it will not be having to feed the F@H Client. Went to get my APU up and running in Mint and am having issues- 99% sure its related to the USB stick. I'm seriously done using USB sticks for Linux installs, so much headache I'll see about getting a spare HDD squared away and installed in it later on. Going to take a break and setup my PS4

Odd. My 2500k is running of a usb stick with mint quite nicely. I got it just for that purpose. A 32gb usb 3.0 with 180mb/s read speeds. Honestly feels like a regular slow hdd, because of the 40mb/s write.

TRWOV · Nov 16, 2013

I haven't had much luck with my USB installs. Only HDDs for me.

BTW, anyone knows about a good low level format utility for Samsung, Toshiba and Hitachi HDDs?

theonedub · Nov 16, 2013

Yeah, I've used the USB stick for all my Linux installs but they all die, eventually. This is probably my fifth one now. Longest lasting one went a month or two before it quit.

I always seem to be short a hard drive whenever I am setting up Linux.

[Ion] · Nov 16, 2013

When I had the fleet of the HP Compaqs last year I ran many of them off of USB sticks b/c I didn't have enough HDDs. While I do prefer a regular HDD install, the USB drives worked fine...right now it's power supplies that I'm somehow short on...

Nordic · Nov 16, 2013

Usbs lives are measured in writes. An hdd's is not. The ideal situation would be an hdd. I felt like playing with a usb 3.0 drive though too. I do plan on getting a real hdd eventually.

Western Digital WD Blue WD800BB 80GB 7200 RPM 2MB ...

Edit: Oops, I read that wrong. I saw $20 instead of 20%. And it is PATA. (or is that PITA?)

That's an IDE though..... there's a much better source right here in our forum

This afternoon me & my pops are going to use our connections to arrange a computer class in 'da university to crunch for the time of the challenge. If we succeed, that would mean additional ~25 of FX-4100s crunching for TPU during the challenge. Wish us luck! :toast:

Also, I am going to write for ASUS support now. And hope I will at least get an actual answer from a technician who knows what he/she is talking about instead of a semi-automated one that has a helpfulness rating of some negative number. Baaaaah.

BUCK NASTY · Nov 16, 2013

Im just looking at the other teams stats and most of them have dropped output by over half, it seems they most of 'pre-cached' or something.

we need to take advantage, recruit more and more!

wouldn't it be nice if we had gpu units :rolleyes:

It's a marathon, not a sprint.... look at the results in a couple of days

Also, those Top 3 Teams all seem to have held a significant batch of work to dump at the start. :twitch:

Kinda looks weird when you start a challenge outputting 10x your daily average:
