Already trying to get my money back.

Probably the correct choice bro. I just have a feeling this is one of those sour deals. The seller has been selling cheap crap to build up his or her rep and then hit a ton of people for a shit load of money and disappear.

Was worth a shot at least. Oh well.

Anyways. What do you guys thing about those cheap ES chips. ES means they are not supposed to be sold. They are clocked lower than the regular chips. Then tski had that board that just went out possibly because of bad ES chips.

ES chips, or Engineering Samples, are actually the property of Intel. Intel "loans" these chips out and if the person sells said ES chip it is then considered theft according to Intel's rules. LOL, even though millions of these are and have been sold.
I currently have a Xeon W3520 that is a damn ES chip. Purchased a motherboard and chip over a year ago and it was in the board. Sucks because legally a person can't even sell it.

Today I hit a personal milestone.

It seems like yesterday when I got aboard almost a year ago for the WCG February Challenge, barely scrapping the bottom of the top 30. A few weeks of pie envy (the only good type of envy) and several hundreds of dollars worth of computer parts later I finally managed to get on the pie (I'll always have page 287). I never thought I'd stick around for as long as I have, I initially entered the challenge by the lure of free games (thanks again for Tomb Raider, manofthem :toast:

) but somehow this has kept me thoroughly engaged, always looking for ways to increase my ppd and power efficiency. It's extremely fun

.

Thanks to our captain Norton for keeping us posted on the team's activities, Ion for inspiring us with his monstrous ppd (don't worry Vinska is holding us up, and thanks for those beautiful images on Daily Nunmbers) and of course to Chicken Patty (more like a three egg omelette :pimp:

) for giving us this wonderful group :clap:

You'll always be our captain :respect:

Without further ado:

Norton · Feb 1, 2014

Congrats and thank you for your contribution and the kind words! :toast:

Just picked up a 8,550 watt generator. Enough to run the whole house. Bring on the storms.

Just upgraded my cruncher to an I3-2100!!! Going to let it burn in over night and see how stable it will be.

Guess who's back from FOSDEM

AlienIsGOD · Feb 4, 2014

the Q6600 rig is coming on saturday

the only problem with it is that it randomly restarts, usually when watching a video. So im thinking new gfx, new psu (to accomodate gfx if needed) and maybe a 64gb sata II SSD (newegg has them somwhat cheap http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100008117 600038510 600038483&IsNodeId=1&Description=64gb ssd&name=60GB&Order=PRICE&Pagesize=20 ) So in all about $200 at most to get this rig up to my standards and running WCG

TRWOV · Feb 4, 2014

I'll fire up the QX6800 and i5-2320 on thursday so that they're all spooled up by saturday. I'm actually kind of curious about the QX6800 performance with MMC since it seems that FPU hasn't improved a lot from the Core 2 days (QX6800 = 3000MIPS, i7-3770K 3800MIPS). If my hunch is correct, it would be getting about the same as my dedicated 8350 used to.

He's always on Steam. I messaged him last night or the night before, but no response. Not sure what's going on with him :cry:

Yeah... He's on Steam very often. And when I see Him, he's almost always playing Europa Universalis IV.
And He hasn't responded to me since while still on vacation, either. I am seriously getting worried about him.

Nordic · Feb 6, 2014

Visited a career fair at my university today. Visited the micron booth, not because I want to work there, but because they had bare ssd's, drams, and those giant wafers. I got a 16gb flash drive free that does 15mb/s read write. Mentioned WCG, and he surprisingly didn't seem to know about it. Felt like I was spreading gospel but I told him to check out WCG.

I certainly hope he doesn't think I want his job posting Dailies!! Sure it is fun but....I would rather be drinking!!
