did you get any thunder snow over the winter?

lol, can't say I did, but I had to wear a sweater to work for a few days. Just horrible

Thunder has stopped so rigs are back. Should be clear now

I got a HELL of a good deal--the EVGA SR-2 board, two X5690s, two EK Supremes, and the EK SR-2 fullcover block for $275 from someone who didn't know if it worked and just wanted it gone. Add in the $40 Silverstone 1KW PSU from Norton, a 320GB laptop drive, a Lian-Li A76 that I got way on sale on Newegg, a spare 8500GT from an old HP, and some extra WC parts from Performance-PCs (a 3x120 rad, Laing D1T Plus pump, some fittings, a T line) and we're looking at about $575 :toast:

Well, bad news is I move home in about five and a half weeks, so then they have to go into hibernation for the summer :cry:

Dual 1366 rigs are becoming quite popular here

Also nice score on that evga board and generally the whole system :toast:

This is my second dual-1366. The other one, Bucharest, is much more "normal" -- a Supermicro board, a pair of X5672s, 1U Supermicro coolers, and a dreadful Apevia case. But this one has +50% more cores, and, ought to overclock well. Sitting here in the kitchen running 24 WUs the CPU temps are all between 35 and 45 C, so I suspect there's plenty of headroom

I tried to join a bunch of teams through BAM! but I'm not sure if it's working. Any way to check?
Also, any way to get BAM to work with WCG? I used a different password. :oops:

You can check if you're on our Team here. It ought to show that you're a member of TPU.
Not sure about BAM, sorry. Never used it since I only run one project.

bubbleawsome · Mar 29, 2015

It looks like I should be teamed up with you guys on all projects I run that you guys have a team on. My BOINIC manager just seems to only be showing WCG though. Maybe I just need to run a unit from them? It'll be a while since I still had my 5 day buffer from when it went down.

Final question. Are the stars based of total points or points per day?

EDIT: Can I say it? Please?
post 420

[Ion] · Mar 29, 2015

Stars are based on points per day

Decided to overclock the Xeons; 3.46GHz -> 4.2GHz was pretty painless. A 20% OC with about a 20C temp difference.

60C is still totally within range, so I'm OK with this. I might try for a bit higher, but I suspect that I'm nearing the point where voltae requirements probably aren't worth it any more. Already up from 1.12V to 1.28V and I'd like to not go over about 1.32 or so. Although, I don't know if I'm at the minimum voltage for this speed yet. It passed about an hour of Prime95, so now I'm running BOINC overnight to see what happens.

Very impressive, how many watts does that system pull?

I guess I've WCG fever again, just picked up at 4790k. Seeing just 4 tasks running is depressing.

Honestly, not sure. Provided that the CPUs really were 130w each at stock speeds, they ought to be right about 200W each at 4.2GHz/1.28V. Overall that would put the system probably at 500W or so, but it really doesn't feel like that, given how little heat is coming off of the radiator.

stinger608 · Mar 29, 2015

Well, numbers will be down on both WCG and Folding for a couple of days.

Getting started putting my mITX Asus and 3770K in a Cooler Master Elite 130 mITX case.

Because of that I have to rearrange the video card as it is a HD7870 with Arctic Cooling cooler that takes up three ports. I'll have to put it in a different system due to that fact.

I'd love to see what one of those could do. What gets me is the power usage.

Yes not that efficient in the test they used (can't see that WCG would differ much). With the same "power efficiency" as a 4790 I would go with the chip that only cost a fraction, in fact the list price is almost 15 times the i7. But.....if you have limited space

Edit: I can now see that they included the gaming benches when they calculated the performance rating which give a wrong impression of the crunch efficiency.

I have a problem with The Cruncher I won last year. I have always used the same password when windows loads. but today the password will not work. I dont know how or why. I do not have a reset disc. How can I fix it????

Five THOUSAND Euros? Damn. But that's ludicrously fast! :eek:

If resourceshare is set to 100 on all projects I'm crunching does that mean it will just take whatever has projects to offer?

No, that means that BOINC will split your CPU time equally amongst (or at least almost equally) among all projects that it has attached.

@Bow , shut the system completely down, even unplug it. Check the keyboard for any damage, something stuck in it, etc. Power system back up and give it another try.
