Strange to hear about these BSODs. I hope everyone resolves their issues quickly!

Well Jr and I were sending wu's back with errors. The BSOD's were from me trying to get my RAM Timings tighter. We're all good now.

f22a4bandit · Sep 26, 2011

That's great to hear! Happy crunching! :toast:

See? I'm a NoOb

Cool, I tried. I also read the link that Velvet directed me to and it stated that sometimes programs run faster at lower bus speeds, Like 1333 instead of 1667 etc., depending on your OC I guess too. I like things the way they are now. Very stable no errors in wu's and getting a lot more work done than my last rig.

You're a better man than I. I tried once to figure out the relationship between nb bus, divider, strappings (still don't know what they are), etc, and finally said fuck it. At $no.00/hour, I don't get paid enough for that shit. :cool:

There's where I've been keeping it at Chaotic. 1.38v for CPU/NB & 1.65v(obvious) for dram.

KieX · Sep 26, 2011

Back from holiday, just catching up with the thread..

Congrats on your wedding Mindweaver :toast:

Radical Edward, my condolences and best wishes are with you and your family, let me know if I can be of any support.

Happy late birthday Bow.

As ever, nice to see new and old faces on here. Will let my farm finish off the last F@H -bigadv then put them back to WCG. KieX is coming home

That will be my cue to bring 3 rigs back to F@H. You can have the 3 spot back now and I did manage to keep it warm for you while you're gone

Welcome back Kiex

I may be adding a Sempron 3000+. It's going to be my media center PC, so most likely it will stay at stock 2GHz. I question the machine's stability at this point, so nothing is final, but it will happen if all comes out good.

My uncle has an athlon 3200+ which he's not sure works... he'll probably give it to me. A marginal upgrade for free, if it works...

Chicken Patty · Sep 27, 2011

Anything helps.

El_Mayo · Sep 29, 2011

I don't understand the statistic page in BOINC manager, or how the points work tbh

Crunching anyway though, laptop is on about 10 hours a day (my sister's laptop I secretly installed WCG on

)

Careful. WCG stresses your cpu hardcore, check the temps on it often.

I check my temps every day...Usually with a cold beer in hand. :toast:

Yes. But it's not really a good idea to do these things surreptitiously.

First, it will kill the battery life unless you tell boinc not to run when on battery power. I think that is the default but you need to check. Also, laptops tend to overheat just doing normal stuff and their tiny heat sinks get clogged much faster than a cooler on a desktop - partly because they're so small. This is doubly - no, triply true if she has a cat or dog.

Also, not all boinc apps are well behaved if have it set to run all of the time. Some even slow down my 2600k at 4ghz when running on all 8 virtual cores. So at the very least, you have to make sure that it only runs when idle. This is ****NOT**** the default.

Finally, you should always set boinc to run at something less than 100% on a lappie. I think the default is 60% but again, you need to check.

It's always plugged in, and the battery is so bad, if the mains plug comes out it dies

I'll set it to 50% when it's idle (it's almost always idle)

Chicken Patty · Oct 2, 2011

Alright guys,

twilyth wants to take a break from posting all the stats. I don't blame him, he has done it flawlessly for some time now. Does anyone in particular want to take over the job?

hat · Oct 2, 2011

Any idea how to allow BOINC to run under a user, not admin, windows account?

mjkmike · Oct 2, 2011

Big thanks to twiyth. :respect:

I'll help when I can.

JrRacinFan · Oct 2, 2011

I can try to help but wouldn't know where to start LOL. Had to cut back on crunching unfortunately (my electric bill says so).

mjkmike · Oct 2, 2011

Start with a pic of a hot girl then grab the pie chart then post. Wait that was last year. :banghead:

I wish I could! However with working full time and college full time I just would not have enough time to take over all the daily stats. :eek:

I feel ya! I'm as busy as I have ever been with full time job, then two side jobs I do ( Computer Repairs, Automotive ECU Reprogramming) just takes up so much time. I did a 19 hour shift on Friday, definitely couldn't do the stats then.
