TPU's Winter's End WCG Challenge (2/26 thru 3/6/2015)- join us to crunch/fold/win stuff

Rotary's yea, didn't think I had to go THAT far...:laugh:

I would have but, I was so tired, have been for a bit, I couldn't remember what they were called!:roll:

:lovetpu:
 
If the temps hold in a 3770 I just rented from Hetzner .... count 8 more threads from me till the end of the challenge and probably for some months, crunching now with 24 threads:rockout:

Let's win this challenge!!!! :toast:

May start up my son's old laptop for some added power. It's a Core i5 iirc and I've been meaning to go through it to get it ready to sell anyway ;)

Don't forget the eggs, after 30 mins, that laptop will be like a stove!!! Profit it before selling it in all senses :roll:

CRUNCH, FOLD AND ROCK&ROLL!!! :peace:

EDIT: Dunno what they put on my morning coffee!! I feel hyperactive lol!

I am runing my Dell at a toasty 82C now since the start of the challenge 24/7. They say it's a workstation laptop so it better not fail :P

Nice to hear that, the 3770 is topping at 73-74ºC ... I think it will be left on :D

Just check the temperature margin to tjmax using coretemp. I have about 15-20C margin so I am not really worried for the CPU but since the whole case is warming up my hard drives are reaching 45C. Datasheet says 60C max temp so again... Let's hope for the best :D

Can't do that, it's a linux server so no real option to get CoreTemp there. Also server is in Germany, so no real access to the cabinet ... I read those 3770 temps are a lil bit higher but not worrying, i'll leave it as now ... and if crashes/breaks ... at least it's not hardware that I bought, it's just rented ... so supposedly it should be replaced if fails, let's hope for the best as you say :toast:
 
Wished I could have put the new machine I built for a friend online! Those 16 threads would have helped a bunch!
Or tell him you need to ensure that the system is 100% stable and you need to run this program called boinc for the next few days :P
 
Remember party lines:roll:
Yup. we had one with my grandmother (Dad's mom) and my uncle (Mom's brother) down across our driveway, and at the end of our driveway, respectively.
 
I'm NOT happy with my PPD. I selected all projects, work buffer from .02 to 3 days * did that last night from my cell* and I wonder what the hell is going on? Any ideas ppl?

If I knew how to remote access my rig from my phone I'd change a few settings. I forgot to disable antivirus program and a few apps... This is depressing to say the least and being 700 miles from home I won't be able to get back till Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

HELP me before my ocd really kicks in and a panic attack happens ;)

Check your run-time. MCMs can take long time to get validated.
 
I'm not sure how to check it from here atm. I was able to get the wife to make a few slight bios changes for me and also to kill some background programs so I guess I'll see what happens within the next few days.

I didn't check the link but go to My Contribution on WCG homepage. Since you only have one CPU running Device Statistic and My Contribution History should show the same number so choose either. 8 days/day is your goal.
 
Got my i3 crunching for the remainder of the challenge. It's my daily use PC, so no gaming for a while. A small sacrifice. :)

You could have teamviewer installed

Good call, I use this all the time. It's installed on my 3 machines and on my phone, and I just remote in whenever. I did that this weekend to check on my main 2 rigs just for kicks, and it worked flawlessly.

Consider Teamviewer @fullinfusion :)

That's how i monitor the PCs at uni as well over the weekend :)
 
Mcm has 5 pages pending validation plus a few other jobs waiting.. Jeesh it never took so long in the past for me.
