TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

I added another Intel C2D E5200 Wolfdale to the mix. I'm up to 23 TPU crunching machines. I'll try to add 3 more later today.. nothing major just some Athlon XP's...

I've cranked my dual processor Xeon 2.8 with HT up to 100%.. It just laughed at me... Cocky Intel chip... But by far my Q6600 is the better cruncher out of my small farm. It's chewing everything up and wanting more...

Do you have all of these computers in the same room? I think you should take a picture

Nope, They are spread out... but I'll try to take some pictures to post.

 

[CyberDruid]

Oooo Pics would be fun.

Oooo Pics would be fun.

I think this applies to anybody who has a "farm." Anything more than like 5 computers should be accompanied by pics. Unless they are all spread out, that would be boring.

Gee I wonder if anyone in the world is crunching with 2 Gainestowns(on a single Mobo)?

Once I get my 2nd K9A2 installed in a CM Stacker 810, I will have 4 PCs folding and crunching in one room and I will then take pics. I have 2 others crunching only but they're in different rooms.

I can't remember whoi the user was but I'm sure I saw it somewhere on TPU but they had split an old harddrive open and framed it and was sitting on his desk between the pencil holder and his monitor I thought that was such a novel idea I went and did it myself with an old 4Gb hd from an old HP P2 I had kickin' around. (Well it's not framed yet)

Newegg has such good prices. My buddy wanted to buy a new computer because his 5 yr old MDG desktop is shutting down on it's own and the HD whines so I talked to him about the benefits of going custom build and now he's getting almost the same rig as me for about $400 less then I paid!!! :shadedshu



Sorry to hear that!! Glad to hear that it's working out in the end!! I had a bad weekend too...got news from my doctor that I have a condition that forbids me from drinking anymore (liver) so I went out and got smashed for the last time Friday night!! I didn't break any computer parts but I did wake up in front of my apt. door with no keys and a bump on the back of my head!!

EDIT: Oh and by the way folks, we just past the top 200 mark yesterday!!! http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=team&proj=bwcg&team=22175

haha that is crazy man, and you are as nuts should i follow in the framing department. Im going to go look for some parts.

I'm fighting a condenstaion problem.....I think its because I'm using AS5 instead of a cream

I get cold as temps with my phase, BUT when I shut down for lets say 1hr or so. Then I turn it on I get this thin layer of water in it. Then my clocks don't work because it starts to overheat.....it's BS I run 1.55v loaded(have not really went higher than that....) then come the next day when this crap starts and 1.45v will over heat. IDK I have the whole fucking thing sealed off from the outside world. It sucks to have to pull it all apart and reset it every time.

Needless to say i have been down all day.

damn , so what is the solution, use cream?

 

[CyberDruid]

I used vaseline. For real. It's a mess but it absolutely seals everything from moisture. The least bit of humidity in the air will find it's way through every crevice in your wraps and sealing putty and somehow latch onto a critical part of your PC and mess with your mind.

I'd hose it down with some CRC electrical cleaner and let it air dry then slather it up with the white petrolatum...pack the socket (gentle dont's bend the pins) and after seating the CPU wipe around that locking mechanism and make sure there are no air gaps in or around any of the socket area.

Oh god!! At first I skimmed through your post then past CP's answer and quickly through Cyber's response. I guess my slight dyslexia kicked in because I read "I'm fighting a constipation problem.....I think it's because I'm using A535 instead of a cream"

Then when I read the word vaseline in Cyber's response it just messed my head up even more so I had to start over (I think I should stop skimming through posts!!)

[CyberDruid]

Make sure to pack that vaseline into every crevice kids

 

[Mindweaver]

Oh I mean, " lol" for the dyslexic people...lol j/k

Just read what's in bold!!..lol

Vaseline. It's not just for Butt Sechs anymore.

lmfao!!! I didn't even get that far Mindweaver...I stopped at vaseline, but when you requoted guess what my dyslexia made me read "pins" as!!!! God I'm in tears!!!!!

Mmmmmmm Lemon

 

[skinnee]

mmm...pie.

 

[Fitseries3]

skinnee you crunching man?

wanna join our team?

 

[123bob]

skinnee you crunching man?

wanna join our team?

I think he's crunching already.....

Skinnee could have any pie he wants, except perhaps for Rammie's slice here. You can see here, on his team, there are a couple of folks that seem to get in the way.....
