TPU's WCG/BOINC Team

[(FIH) The Don]

For some reason last night my X4 BSOD and restarted, I'll try and figure out why. Pretty sure it overheated because I removed the second fan from my hyper 212+. Don, I need those R4's, ASAP!

will get them going ASAP

You know, for being such a small team, being in 27th place is pretty fuckin' amazing. I mean for people that have the cash and want to spend it on crunching, that's cool, but we're already doing damned good. We're 78th in membership.

Plus you have to consider that the team is less than 2 years old. It's ok to push yourself, but it's also good to have some perspective, and even if we don't make a lot of progress quickly, we're still pretty fucking amazing.

I couldn't have said it better myself. We have a lot of dedication and even with less members and less hardware, we are doing better than some teams with more "power" members.

Well to be honest, I have not been crunching for some time now. However I just again downloaded and started my main system crunching again.

I know, it is about time LOLOL

 

[HammerON]

welcome back

So I got my Dell XPS laptop and started crunching on the 4 threads available:

Don't know about the temps though...

 

[[Ion]]

That's a sweet laptop--and those temps are very reasonable IMO

I may be able to get a few more systems at school going this week, we'll see

 

[(FIH) The Don]

i wouldnt be worried, seems like some very nice load temps for it

 

[[Ion]]

Definitely, my C2D laptop crunches about 10c lower than that, and my Lynnfield crunches around 75c.

And the Macbook seemed to do fine @ ~90c

I've got a new machine under my name. Some of you may recall that I had to take my mom's Sempron 3000 off because the motherboard was blowing up. I've managed to rebuild the system based on my old Celeron 430. If I can get a Socket A motherboard (as well as a wireless NIC...), I'll be able to re-build the Sempron 3000.

I have nothing laying around bro Just a bit of dead harware, that's about it.

Hey man, I have an old socket A (Gigabyte GA-7VAXP) that will run IDE Raid and a TON of NIC cards! Shoot me an offer in a PM Hat!

Well guys, think it's going to be a while before I buy any more hardware. I'm about to buy a car that I'm rather sure is going to need some work, but is worth fixing.

Sorry for the double post, but I think this post deserves a slot for itself.

Usually you help people out on here and you ask them if they need something. Even if at no cost, you at least usually ask. Well, you know how far people go to help and what kind of people are still left in this world when you get something sent to you without even asking, something you need as well!

Boy, and aren't we lucky to have people like that here. Over time I've been amazed at the countless times the amazing members of TPU have been willing to help at no cost at all to me, and today from what I see it continues.

I had posted a few times I had issues with HDD's and stuff on my 3rd rig and people suggested a flash drive to run Windows off there so I don't need a HDD. Well today I walk in the door from work and find a envelope on my dining room table from Newegg. I'm freakin' stunned at this point because I have not ordered anything whether from them or anywhere. So I open it to find this inside:

Really, whether it's something that's a dollar or something that's $1,000, I am just speechless at what members of this community are willing to do for others.

By the way, now I know what FIH DON meant when he told me on Facebook the other day that he had something for me.

Too lazy to convert to dollars, but that seems low regardless! I second what you just said man.

Hey CP, would you rather have a hard drive? I'm sure I have one that's not in use if you want it.

 

[HammerON]

i wouldnt be worried, seems like some very nice load temps for it

Definitely, my C2D laptop crunches about 10c lower than that, and my Lynnfield crunches around 75c.

I am just not used to a laptop. The temps are staying around 58c so I am comfortable with those temps. Thanks Ion for letting me know what your laptop temp's are; it helps

 

[Chicken Patty]

Hey CP, would you rather have a hard drive? I'm sure I have one that's not in use if you want it.

Hey bro, thanks a lot for the offer. I actually have two from a member here but one died after a day, and the other one died during shipping. If I can run it off the USB stick, maybe you can get that driver over to someone who might need it more than me. If I can't get nothing going I'll let you know though.

 

[4x4n]

Damn, thats some bad luck.

If the usb doesn't work out just let me know.

I couldn't agree more CP!!! There is a countless amount of just pure awesome people in this community, and should make everyone here proud to be a part of such a community!!!

Just like the donation thread for Loonym's daughter was! So many people jumped in and helped just for the cause!

I have been in many, many forums and communities in the last 10 years or so, and none have even come close to the community here at TPU!!!!
