TechPowerUp's WCG February Challenge (2/15 thru 2/22/2014)- UPDATE-- TPU wins the Challenge!!!

[stinger608]

Is it just me or has this challenge been flying by? I mean, we barely have 2.5 days left. Where has the time gone?

No kidding. Seems like we just started yesterday.

Sometimes it's not worth it to up an OC 1-200mhz unless you know it's absolutely stable because it can yield errored results or instability issues.

Just be sure to keep en eye out of that sort of stuff and you'll be good.

Ok well I jusy yhought Id try and pump out some numbers a bit faster and yes 100% stable.

Is this what I look at for errors? Is this where the errors show up?

3.5 days I corrected my earlier post

Challenge ends Saturday at 7pm Eastern....

@fullinfusion - check for errors/invalids in your account at WCG under "results status"

I'll take another day

And what am I looking for in the results status?

And whoohoo I broke 50k

 

[fullinfusion]

I went through all 11 pages and see nothing but valid and some pending validation.

Is that all cool then?

 

[manofthem]

Valid is good, pending is fine, error is bad.

 

[fullinfusion]

Nope didnt see one single error so she's golden!

And i think after the challenge I'll be crunching more then just part time. Numbers is fun lol

Awesome, glad to hear that; we always can use MOAR POWA!

I started in a challenge and I ever left

and at 100k points you get our nifty little badge

 

[fullinfusion]

and at 100k points you get our nifty little badge

The way this 4.8GHz clock is crunching I'll be close to the 100k point by saturday, well one can always hope hmm.

And I could always snatch up your badge Bill lol

 

[djthrottleboi]

i finally brok 20,000

 

[djthrottleboi]

time to raise my oc again.

Good going man! So what clocks you running?

4.6GHz cause i was running hot i'm about to crank it up as soon as i decrease my ram

Norton, just copy-paste this into the terminal and press enter (will prompt for password, btw.) :

test -d /etc/boinc-client/ && \
( conf='/etc/boinc-client/cc_config.xml'; \
echo '<cc_config>' | sudo tee $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\t<options>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\t\t<report_results_immediately>1</report_results_immediately>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\t</options>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo '</cc_config>' | sudo tee -a $conf >/dev/null \
&& echo -e '\n\n\nDone\n') \
|| echo -e '\n\n\npoke Vinska on the forums – problems\n'; \
true

Cruncher posts that they need help configuring BOINC in Linux.
Vinska posts cryptic script to modify a BOINC config file, pulled from a guide to help others set it up.
Vinska mysteriously acquires a bunch of cruncher computers "from school", takes top pie.

Coincidence? I think NOT!

(Just kidding, Vinska. )

Why decrease the ram?

 

[djthrottleboi]

Why decrease the ram?

i'm at 1866 already and dont want to push it but i want to up bclk

Challenge Results Day 5- TPU #1... Simply Awesome !!!

Great job Team!!!
3 days left- keep it up!!!

Shit and on day 2 I was looking at team France and seen the number of ppl crunching vs TPU and thought oh oh it wont be long till they catch up but hell yeah we got a great team running!!!

your bclk is going to crash your rig man... Id leave it be and just bump the multi up a notch.. If you claim to run 4.8GHz @ 1.39v then open up a window if it's cool enough out side.

I went from 4.6 to 4.8GHz last night and the only thing that went up was my points and about a 5c increase in temps but im on water and opened up the window.

lol i'm on water too i love to take the multiplier so far then use bclk for the rest

I hear what your saying but those 3770K's can only go so high with bclk but really id just hold off on it till the challenge is done.
You wouldnt want to wake up yo a BSOD and miss out on all the points your making.

lol dont worry i got lots of experience with ivy. 3570k is the same cpu minus Hyperthreading and even uses the same vcore for the same clock rates as well lol the oc's i apply are the same that i applied to my 3570k

 

[manofthem]

Ivy... pfft. Haswell FTW
