Have you got pie today?

Finally hitting decent numbers again, but I need to back off on my secondary rig, at least til the next challenge.



I hope and trust it's nothing too serious, but you're still rocking the Cherry, and by a long shot :laugh:



But everybody is doing a superb job :respect:
In no small part it's the way I have the 2700k setup going--I don't have sufficient ethernet ports for it and the Q6600, so the Q6600 stays plugged in since it runs the FAH GPU, and then I just plug the 2700k in every couple days to dump work. So every other day it turns in about 12k points, which is certainly a large part of it (although it doesn't explain everything). All of the Linux systems seem to be doing OK though (including the AMD 4P, which has been running for nearly 20 days now).
 
Time for Pie.....! :cool:

Great work all!~ :toast:

And of course, I forgot to resume BOINC after gaming til just this moment :mad: :mad:
 
Oh cats, will you ever stop amusing me.

Turns out that my roommate suspended BOINC on the i7-920 who knows how long ago--I'm going to see if we can set up the Exclusive Apps page so that it doesn't get forgotten again :(

Great work team. It's great to be so close to theonedub on tonight's list :respect:
Everything good T? :confused:

I guess it's just something that plagues us once on a while, especially those who game on their main rigs, like me :(

I've tried just gaming and letting BOINC pausing itself while gaming, but I've found it doesn't go as smoothly as pausing or closing BOINC.

As good as they can be for now. I've been downsizing a lot, but should still be putting out 7-8K daily.

Good job guys! That was quite a close race between #2 and #3! :toast:

Justin and I have been doing that for a while! :toast:

I thought he was going to get me today.... it was close :)

Yup, it's exciting to see you guys bouncing back and forth over each other :D

It would be more exciting to see a contested race for #1, however.... ;)
 
I upgraded my AGP clunker rig from a C2D E7500 to a QX6800 on Tuesday so it should help a little bit. I need to get my XFX 7950 back on F@H as my Gigabyte 7950 was recently repaired and is working again, so it's just been sitting on my desk for a while. I've pretty much had zero time to work anything, considering I have been working for my parents 7 days a week.

That would tend to do it, I suppose. Good luck! I need to pull two of the HD7770s out of my roommate's i7 to put in my 2700k to use for folding--I just haven't gotten to it yet...
 
Sorry guys, my ppd has been inconsistent :o
My work has been inconsistent because of bad weather, so I've been gaming a bit more with some time off. On the bright side, I've gotten some good gaming sessions in and finally finished some games :D
 
Ugh. A C2D and Phenom II X2 should be bringing in more than 3k ppd combined, shouldn't it? Main rig isn't happy about something either. Time to figure out what's going on.

Nope, 3K PPD is for Phenom II X4-X6 processors running at maximum usage and overclocked, if I recall. Each of those CPUs probably does just 1K PPD or so.

:confused:
Running Ubuntu, a C2D E8400 will do 1.5k PPD easy. Running Windows, maybe 1.2k.
A PhII X2 should be roughly similar, I'd say. 3K PPD combined is right what I would expect.
 
After those two weeks in the hospital, which meant no gaming whatsoever, I did the only sensible thing for the situation: played CS:GO non-stop. Hence the massive PPD drop. Sorreh, guys.
...gonna game a bit more nonetheless :D

But that was only "one side of the coin". All the CEP2 WUs I get now are different - they are shorter (yay!), have much more frequent checkpoints (super yay!), and tend to error out en masse on my machines a whole friggin' lot (teh nooooo!). Because of that, my drop in PPD was even more severe than it would've been normally. :(
Seriously - I see them error out very often and my result status page on "error" filter gives several pages worth of WUs. Oh Gosh Darn! :ohwell:

I found part of my PPD decrease was due to my normally happy as a lark X2 rebooting itself under high CPU load. (Upon further investigation, it turns out my CPU voltage reset back to stock, but my OC hadn't.) It should have been exclusively running CEP2 workunits for the last while, so if there was a recent change, that might explain it.

My Core 2 Extreme X6800 dual core only gets 1175 PPD average (Windows 7) and my Phenom II X4 X920 (currently at 2GHz, really an Athlon II but mobile) gets 1350 PPD average. My QX6800 quad is looking like a 1500 PPD chip though it hasn't run long enough to generate a proper average. Linux is more optimistic but none of these chips are comparable to an i7 or FX8 imo.
