This one is a WCG Challenge for WCG's 10th Birthday, is sponsored by the SETI.Germany Team, and is open to all Teams.

*note- We have been participating in this one for the last few years and nearly won one of them a couple of years ago but WCG temporarily ran out of GPU work right in the middle of the Challenge :confused:

I want my PC fixed now..... :cry:

I called our local PC repair crooks and they will look at my GPU for a $35 diagnostic fee and they will let me know in 3-5 days. :nutkick:

I am going to try a couple more things before taking it over to them.

Try another slot, your other PC, or you can also try the 2nd BIOS on the card (little switch by the crossfire connectors- make sure PC is off first)

That was/is the plan for tonight if I have time. Dinner at the in laws. :ohwell:

Very hot!

What's left of my epeen is now short and shriveled :oops:

Nordic · Sep 24, 2014

By the way team, I met with a professor today I am hoping to do research with. For his office computer he was using a 32 core sandy bridge xeon system. When I drooled over this a bit he said he had another one sitting unused in the corner. Both purchased with grant money for a project he worked on in 2010. I want them BOTH!

I did describe crunching to him, but he was uninterested. Professors are very narcissistic. They only want to talk about their research, which admittedly can be really cool as it was in this case.

Jstn7477 · Sep 24, 2014

So, I won't be able to work on the 5820K gear until 8 hours from now, but being my first LGA 2011 system, I made a pretty big oversight. I am going to have to find the LGA 2011 bolts for my Cooler Master TPC-812 and use that until I can get LGA 2011 bolts for my Corsair H100 I bought from Xazax that only came with LGA 115x hardware. Anyone perchance have a set of LGA 2011 mounting bolts for an H60/H80/H100 they don't plan on using? I'll gladly compensate you with a few dollars for your efforts. But for now, I must find the ones for my TPC-812.

stinger608 · Sep 24, 2014

Damn bro, that is a real bummer man. :oops:

Wish I could help ya out but nothing here.
You should be able to jump on Corsair's site and get the needed mounting hardware though. Or call customer service.

Nadda over here either but what about the buy sell giveaway forum. Wanted ad kind of thing.

Jstn7477 · Sep 24, 2014

Update: Found the short mounting bolts in the LGA 2011 plastic bag for my TPC-812. Guess I'll put up a WTB thread to get my watercooling mounts and bench the board for a few days before either I find some on the forums or try to contact the sole retailer of them. http://www.pcconnection.com/product...al-bracket-kit/cw-8960002/17486537?cac=Result

I think I may be able to help you out with the 2011 bolts from an H80i, but Ill have take a gander when I get home to be sure. I'll post back a little later on when I find out.

The 5350 is being prone to lock WUs. I had one with 45 hours running and the ETA was increasing :eek:

and yesterday I had one with 22 hours. I suppose that's why I got so little points.

I don't know if it's due to the USB stick I'm using. :confused:

I installed boinc on a 8GB stick because I'm using an mSATA SSD as main drive.

Anyone knows where to get a cheap 8/16GB 1.8" HDD?

When I ran linux off usb I had all sorts of issues. I bet just boinc on a usb would too. You won't find a 8/16gb 1.8hdd but how about any cheap 1.8in hdd/ssd.

There were some issues with long duration wu's at WCG recently... they are working to resolve them.

Not sure of their progress or status atm???

ITS ALIIIIIIIIIVE, well I reset my ram, moved my GPU to slot 2 and it works. Temps look good at 25c and holding. I still have to see why keyboard is not working, install gpu drivers, and get boinc working. rerun some cables. Time to help the kids with home work. Back to the rig later.

Awesome Bow! Congrats. Things are looking up!

Key board working, crunching on 6 cores, 42c and holding. Going to let it run tonight then shut down while at work. Install new gpu drivers and program updates tomorrow.

Found a 15.2GB PATA 1.8" drive which also happened to be the cheapest one that had a workable interface (lots of cheap ZIF drives and SATA ones start at trice the price). Luckily I have a 44pin to SATA adapter in the parts drawer so that detail won't be a showstopper. :toast:
