WCG Challenge Help Conquer Cancer (1st/2nd week of November)

[Norton]

so what exactly do I need to go to put my 7970 in this for TPU?

If you're already running the Help Conquer Cancer (HCC) work unit on your gpu then you're all set.

If you run another rig w/o gpu crunching capability then just adjust your WCG profile to run the HCC work unit only (check the box to run other projects if no work for HCC is available so you don't lose crunching time on other projects- this is optional)

 

[Chicken Patty]

I'm ready to roll, let's do this!

 

[ChristTheGreat]

I guess I could put all my rigs on HCC, anyway, they are crunching for everything so why not HCC for a couples of days

it starts November 8th?

edit, I saw the 2nd link not first one haha

Well, I'll get my rig ready tomorrow I'll modify my profil to get only Help Conquer Cancer , on all rig

I will put my two working laptops on this. A 2640m and 2920xm processors, the laptop with a 920xm shuts down after 10 minutes so I won't use that one. But I'll bring out my old laptop with a u-7700 core2 running at 1.33. 5 years old but still running like Popeye.

we need to join on the website?

or what we have to do?

Crunch as normal I think..
Putting my PC on HCC only now.

Do you need a 64-bit client for 64-bit OS, and how do you get the graphics enabled?

Does OC matter?

I think I may have the GPU part figured out...

 

[stinger608]

I am getting my systems set up to just run the HCC client.

I am dedicating this entire two week project to STANHEMI!!!!!!!! May we be able to help in the fight against this terrible illness and God Bless Stanley and may he be with us all during this project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll say, run those 3 bad boy 7970s and you'll be set!

So if I have time tomorrow, I'll take a look into it and see if I can join up for the challenge.

 

[yotano211]

How do you all switch to the HCC only, I dont know how too. I just crunch what ever.

 

[yotano211]

well never mind, I found how to switch, just go into your profile and switch from there.

I am ready....

Ok I'm back with the Old Q6600 setting up WCG again as it's 40 outside


EDIT: Everything is setup again only down side is can't use my GPU's they are not supported to old 2x 4850's

Just head to "My Projects" and choose HCC. Also, choose "
If my computer can process work on my graphics card, then please send me work to run on my graphics card for the projects that I have selected above."

that can be done here: https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/ms/viewMyProjects.do

Overclocking: To overclock or not to overclock In WCG, points production scales linearly with the CPU speed. Thus, for example, a 4ghz CPU would get 50% more points per day (and work done) than the same CPU running at 2.66ghz. However, overclocking is not always a good thing. If your overclock is unstable, errors will be generated and the work returned will not be scientifically useful. If you plan on OCing, make sure your OC is stable, if it is it can pass 2+ hrs of OCCT and 12/16 hours of Prime95. Remember, if errors are produced the results will not be scientifically useful, and crunching time will have been wasted. This is an enthusiast forum, so we do tend to overclock here. Overclocking can bring considerable benefits, with 25-40% overclock not being uncommon on enthusiast CPUs. Remember, points scale with clock speed, so this does help.

OK i think i am setup and running, How do i join the team.

If you already have a WCG account, use this link to join the team: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=S8TLJ6TFV1

If you setup BOINC but need a WCG account, use this one instead:

Thank you, Looks like i was already one step ahead of myself, Glad i checked though.
Everything is setup and running, Will be using the pc in my spec<<<<

Awesome - welcome to the team!

Awesome - welcome to the team!

Thanks and its about time i put this pc to good use, Not used it as i intended since building it lol i blame work.

Hey Team- Thanks for helping out while my power is out.

Any new members joining up for this feel free to contact any active Team member on details on how to join the Team and get your rig setup to run WCG.

I will do my best to post up what I can/when I can until my power comes back at home

Keep an eye on the 1st 2 posts in this thread for any updates and details once we get rolling.

Great! I crunched on a SU7300 for a bit--just be careful about the temperatures, these ultra-thins don't have great cooling. Mine hit nearly 90C crunching

Do you need a 64-bit client for 64-bit OS, and how do you get the graphics enabled?

Does OC matter?

I think I may have the GPU part figured out...

A 64-bit client is not required, but is encouraged. It gives about 10% higher points (part due to running a tad faster, part due to benchmarking higher).

OC does matter. That's why I OC all of my systems that support it--I usually aim for a 25-30% OC, as that can usually be done stably and doesn't increase temperatures too much.

The GPU part is where you'll really shine. Those HD7970s will blow everything else away. Like 40k PPD each. Maybe more. Whereas a 4.4GHz i7 quad will get ~6-6.5k doing CPU work.

I am getting my systems set up to just run the HCC client.

I am dedicating this entire two week project to STANHEMI!!!!!!!! May we be able to help in the fight against this terrible illness and God Bless Stanley and may he be with us all during this project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen! For Stan's sake, and everyone else dealing with cancer, let's do this thing!

A Q6600 is still very solid HW

Let us know if you have any questions--help is just a post away

Seems to be working good, Do things look right?

Aside from Windows 8, beautiful!

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

All set on my end. Just one rig to play with when I get home.


I am starting to roll in the hcc cpu projects with the gpu projects

 

[ChristTheGreat]

All set here also, all my rigs, only HCC, and if no work takes other work!

So if this can go, this is about 150k per day on WCG, from my stats.

 

[brandonwh64]

I am not going to be able to participate this time. Wished I could throw these 6950's in the mix but with these windows 8 problems and now router issues. I am pretty much limited to one 2600K at work.

hope I get things fixed soon.
