Official 2010 Chimp Challenge Thread

[msgclb]

I'm curious if Thuban scales better in a VM with an A3 core, or if SMP2 is the way to go? I know Bogmali has a x6 1055t chip and will wait for his opinion on it's production.

I'm also curious and have put Turban on the top of my wish list. I've discovered that my Gigabyte GA-MA790X-UD4P, a DDR2 motherboard has a BIOS for these X6 chips. Am I correct that to run a VM you need at least 6GB of RAM? The next question I have is whether to spend approximately $100 more for the 1090T or just get the 1055T?

New user's, check your client user names. Someone if folding under "Chimpoweup"

Yes, but it's "ChimPoweUp". Someone started a new client Sunday Saturday afternoon!

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Oh, I checked those failures and it said in the log that "An Exception was Thrown during Guarded Use" or something along those links. Then the system just kinda rolled it up and sent it in anyway. So does it even count for partial credit or the whole unit was a waste? And does anyone know what that error means.

 

[Trigger911]

I have yet to get an error ... I have gotten bsod and crashing...

 

[NastyHabits]

I have 3 cards that cause me problems.

First, A GTX 260 that during this challenge has completed 48 and failed 2 times.
Second, An 8800 GT that has completed 37 and failed 1 time.
Finally, a GTS 250 that has completed 37 but failed 2 times.

As long as these card have the same pass/fail rates I'll keep them. The 8800 GT of course and the GTX 260 have many miles on them not the GTS 250.

My GTX 260 , 2 x GTS 250, and an 8800 GS, never have any failed units. Also have 3 9600 GSO's that average about 1 failure out of 40 completions, even on stock clocks. They do have a lot of severe miles on them. I got them from BUCK_NASTY, 'nuf said.

 

[Trigger911]

yea .... i can hear his stuff screaming lmao

 

[msgclb]

Along with "ChimPoweUp" someone is using ChimPowerUpteam=50711. Here's the Free-DC link. Could this be a PS3? The team is 0 or Default.

 

[Trigger911]

I think that is me lmao

Hey, I baby my hardware like they are my own children. Besides, everyone knows the 8800GS shaders have at least a 33% overclock in them...

 

[msgclb]

We've all made mistakes!
Highlight the client and type Ctrl+C.
Then add the switch -configonly to the shortcut.
Start the client and change the username and team.
Then remove the -configonly switch.
Restart the client and if you're lucky it pick up at the same place.

I now see it's a SMP and GPU, correct?
I just looked at one of my clients and you might not be the one. If you run the -configonly switch you will be able to make sure.

 

[Trigger911]

Yea I am running both adv on both

No complaints here. Just stating the facts. One bad WU out of 40 I can live with. That's also the worst I've seen. Usually one out of 60. The GS 8800 does rock. It run's just a hair under my 250's output. Had to back it down just a bit when some of the newer WU's came out.

 

[Mindweaver]

Sorry guys I'm late to the party.. I just put my GTX285 on "ChimPowerUp". That is the correct name right? I see a few different ones but this one has the most points. Sorry Buck and team i'll do better!

 

[BUCK NASTY]

No apologies needed. We are happy to have you along with us!

 

[TheLaughingMan]

Ok, so I am clear, the consensus is something is wrong at roughly 1 failure every 12 to 13 units. How did I fix it or should I even care?

Imposter!!!!!!, or is a doppelganger?

Guy's, do you realize we have had a 89% turnout for the CC. This is awesome and I applaud each and every dedicated folder. I sincerely thank you!

Here's to the 89%. I've never seen that word before. This is to help those who are still in the dark!

A doppelgänger is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation.

In the vernacular, the word "doppelgänger" has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed at oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. In Norse mythology, a vardøger is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance.

Curse you doppelganger for almost giving msgclb a heart attack

89% turnout is awesome

 

[TheLaughingMan]

I have not officially not been folding under my own name long enough for my Folding badge to be removed. It will come back when I start folding for my name again, right?

Yup.......I lost mine too

Hey wait a minute, how come I see Buck's and Msgclb's on their sig but not mine

 

[BUCK NASTY]

We are using ChimPowerUp user name. We lost our badges with 2 days of switching. iIthought W1zz set it up for 7 days after you stop retuning work, but no big deal.

I've never seen that word before. This is to help those who are still in the dark!

It's not a word I would usually know either, but I geeked out in the early 80's with Dungeons & Dragons. No PC's back then for us. Just some pencil's/graph paper and alot of .......

Just one of these:

Now that Buck gave the secret away I can say I did the same about an hour ago. I noticed that Buck had his badge and I didn't so I started to ask when I got the bright idea to use ChimPowerUp! (without the !)

I see I need to pay more attention next time I guess. No worries here, I know I'll get mine back after ChimPowerUp hits 20 mil

For a little laugh......Someone from [H] is trolling and posted on the official CC 2010 site

Don't know. Stanford does have the "MemtestG80 - Memory Tester for NVIDIA CUDA-Enabled GPUs" if you're interested in checking your card.
