New rig online and crunching away as of last night-ish.

I've seen some rigs have to spool and some rigs just take off. Any idea why?

Took out the H80i on the 4790 last night and it looked pretty nasty

I replaced the stock 2 fans with a single sp120 quiet fan. Temps went up a bit, into the mid 60s, but it's so much more quiet

Not sure, most rigs I see take a few days to spool up.

Depends on whether or not the work you get ends up valid or pending when completed. If you have a fast rig then you may get some high priority work that valids quickly.

Welp, 6k on the first day. I think it was just doing FA@H. :confused:

Received my new tubing today, UV red Dreamflex by Modmytoys from Performance-pcs. Usually p-pcs is good for me, but it took forever to get here via priority mail, only 120 miles away

Anyway I've never heard of the tubing before but I figured I'd give it a shot. Tubed it all up and threw some are in it, and 10 seconds later water is coming out like woah! I forgot to put the nut on the comp fitting underneath the res, and boom went the dynamite

So cleaned it up, let it sit for a few hours to dry, and now just filled again without any crazy issue... yet. Letting it spin to leak test so I hope it's good. Should be back up by tomorrow evening.

edit: just posted somepics in the PC atm

Here's my favorite, cpu block gunk

Did that black gunk clean out easily? I think that might be whats in my 680 block. What did you use to clean it?

Yeah, that black stuff just wiped right out. But for the harder areas/stains/stuff, I cleaned it by soaking the blocks with vinegar and scrubbing with a toothbrush, just needed a little roughness

Hi guys.
I have a quick question for those with more experience than me about Crunching :toast:

Does Ram speed affect in any way PPD?and What is the difference between single channel 1333, dual channel 1333 and dual channel 1066?

Cheers.

theonedub · Mar 17, 2015

I think a couple members did some work on this years ago and determined that clock speed of the CPU was king, memory made little difference. It was a long time ago, so if any other old member recalls something different, correct me.

You my friend are correct, memory speed has little effect on crunching. Clock speed and core count is king.

Correct! Memory speed has very little impact on ppd- cpu architecture and speed/number of threads are what gauges ppd the most

My 4P rig is down

Need to find some time to get a monitor over to it to see what happened.

It seems to start up ok so I'm hoping that it's something easy like a bad ethernet cable or wonky hard drive...

If you wouldn't live so far away I would send you a Monitor that I have laying around :shadedshu:

That sucks @Norton !!! Hopefully, like you stated, its something simple and easy to fix. For sure keep us posted man.

Or you can send it to me and i'll give it a good testing. You picked out a spot for it. LOL

Should have some time late this afternoon to get it over to one of the monitors on my main desktop to see what happened. I have a nice assortment of spare DVI and VGA cables thanks to @t_ski

Norton · Mar 19, 2015

UPDATE!

The 4P is back up and running! :clap:

Think it just hung up on restart. All I had to do was hook up the monitor and turn it on... booted right up and went back to work. Temps are good at 38-40C and I finished around 80 wu's over the last 4 hours. :cool:

What happened?- idk :confused:

Will it happen again- idk :confused:

I have a KVM switch here somewhere and I'll be hooking that up soon so I can check on it once or twice a day.

twilyth · Mar 19, 2015

Could it be the PSU? I've had intermittent problems like that and it turned out the PSU was running too hot.

Most likely not the psu. It's a Seasonic X-1050 that's only a few months old and it barely gets warm. However, since you mentioned power, it may have been the power strip so I plugged it directly into the wall just in case.

crunching harder since now...!

Nordic · Mar 19, 2015

Just got myself a really cheap ultra portable laptop from CL. Was nice to find something with an i3-330m for this cheap. My only complaint was that it ran very hot and loud, as soon as boot up. I checked and it got to 89c. I opened it up and cleaned out what seemed like almost a teaspoon of that nasty cheap oem thermal paste. I replaced it with a thin layer of enthusiast grade thermal paste. I also pulled a dust ball out of the fan. Now the hottest I can get it is 66c and it is quiet when that hot.

I feel so proud of myself.

twilyth · Mar 19, 2015

Yeah, lappies get clogged really quickly especially if you have a pet. And most of the time they don't make it easy for you to pop open the case and clean it out. You should definitely feel proud. :toast:

Toothless · Mar 19, 2015

A huge thank you to @Norton for the fans for my CPU cooler. They're quiet and work pretty well, and I'm pretty sure they're not running at max speeds. I'm also running Skype and an MMO in the background.

The blur and dust is real.

Also I'll probably be mounting the other 140 on the outside since my heatsink is too tall, and the LEDS some other day.
