Anyone running WCG on prebuilt laptops. I'm considering crunching on my i7 lappy too, but I'm a little concerned about heat. It's not really in a place where I can run a fan on it all day. Thoughts?

Yeah I am--what model do you have? I have lots of laptops going:
- Thinkpad T410
- Thinkpad W520
- Thinkpad E440
- Dell Latitude E5410
- HP Elitebook 2540P

The W520 feels like it's going to burn a hole through whatever surface it's sitting on, but that's at least partially the fault of the always-on nVidia GPU in it. The others do just fine so long as they get some airflow :toast:

I'll have to check the model number when I get home. It's a 3 yr old HP Pavillion DV7, I think. This lappy just sits at a desk in the kitchen, like a desktop replacement, basically meaning it's one of the laptops in the house that the kids can't wander around with. :laugh:

I don't use a laptop but I know that their small heatsinks and pipes can be real dust magnets, especially if you have pets. If you don't feel like popping off the back to check on the fan/hs status, I'd run boinc at something less than 100% capacity and monitor the temps regularly. Also set to not run unless the machine is idle so there's no chance it interferes with whomever is using it at the time. Those things will cut into productivity but should guarantee uptime and happy family members.

edit: also probably want to set it not to run on battery power.

11th place is just around the corner.... :cool:

Will we make it there today?

twilyth · Dec 10, 2014

I'm not sure it's still fun if you can just roll over them like that. It feels like we ought to poke them or something first.

'Is it alive?' 'I don't know, touch it.' 'No, you touch it.'

I ran WCG on a few of my notebooks a couple years ago. Without something like a cooling pad, I wouldn't recommend it.

I had it running on a Dell Latitude 6420 for a while (i3). I kept the back propped up a little bit to increase the airflow, but it was in the basement where my office is, and where it's cooler than the rest of the house.

Hey team, I am seeing some really great deals here. http://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap
I saw a c2quad for $20 and some i5's for under $100.

ChristTheGreat · Dec 10, 2014

Might have to stop my main rig from crunching. Why? Because I have to convert VHS to AVI or MVK (whatever haha) and I got like over 300 to do. I will try first on the laptop to see the quality VS my computer. Might be ok with laptop (USB VHS to USB HDD).

If so, I will stop BOINC on this rig for a couple of days/weeks

:/

Is it just me or is FreeDC showing yesterday's midday results rather than today's on some pages? :confused:

At four million PPD, it would be amazing to have him, but I really don't mind which team he joins. So long as the Science is done, I really don't care where.

If USPS would get their act together, I'm really itching for that other Xeon hex....

It happens when there's some issue with Free-DC since they're linked, but it usually gets resolved within a day's time or thereabouts.

Yup--back again!

Anyone got hit with these gargantuan 12 hour MCM and OET VUs? I was wondering why my 3770K had posted only 721 points this morning and found all the cores tasked with those :eek:

Got a beta the other day on my 4.4 GHz
BETA_ OET1_ 0000307_ xEBGP-OM_ rig_ 1011_ 5-- 4790K Valid 17.74 / 17.78 17.1 / 17.1

Yes at least the MCMs are getting longer. I don't see any OETs.

Don't see any new ones I meant. This one is from the 7th. I had 8 OTEs (non-beta) in total. They were a bit more generous than the one I showed (1 point per hour) and a bit longer than 2 hours each.

TRWOV · Dec 11, 2014

... THE FUCK???? :eek:

How long would it take on a Duron?

[Ion] · Dec 11, 2014

I can't even imagine how bad it would be on the Duron--but here's Danzig, my Atom D510:
