Both of those chips suck a lot of juice, especially if you oc them.

You forget: Kai doesn't pay for electricity.

@t_ski - Thanks. I'm just worried that he's going to start overloading circuits soon. In my old apartment I only had 3 15amp circuits. It was an old apartment but 2 bedrooms, so I'm guessing that a dorm suite can't have too many more. Even here at home I have to move computers around to balance the circuits. Right now I have them in 4 different rooms and I'm about to move one to a 5th room.

@Norton

I am hoping to one day make Unkle K the Top Spotter on our Team. @twilyth has that spot now...But someday, Unkle K will have it.

No offense T, But I have a goal.

@[Ion] and @gobuuku will probably pass me this year.

And isn't it great, too?

So I have everything spread out across 3 20 amp circuits, which ought to be lots of power, given that there's very little else on them (like, basically nothing). According to the breaker box, we have a 100A breaker for the entire apartment (IIRC) so I figure there's lots of headroom available

 

[twilyth]

Damn. I think my entire house is 100amps which includes central a/c, washer/dryer, etc.

Has the WCG site collapsed for anyone else?

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Looks like it's offline.

 

[bubbleawsome]

Same here.

 

[[Ion]]

Well, hopefully they get it fixed pretty soon; I only have like a day or day and a half of work on most of my systems.

 

[bubbleawsome]

WCG is back up it seems.

 

[bubbleawsome]

In BOINC you have to remove project and re-add it with the other info, Kreij's account info. You'll need to give @Norton a pm for the info

Oh dear, it appears I've messed this up. I can not remove WCG from my BOINC manager. I do have the tpu_remembers_Kreij info though.
Any help?

Unable to remove it? That'd odd, you should be able to without trouble.

As an option, you could uninstall boinc, remove the boinc folder under program data, and then reinstall. Then add the project under with Kreij's info

 

[bubbleawsome]

The option is grey'd out for WCG, but Einstein@Home is removable.

Can't say really, I've never run multiple projects in BOINC. Sorry I'm no help.



Edit:

In BOINC under advanced view, under Projects tab, if you click on wirldcommunitygrid, you can select Remove on the left side?

(sorry for the crude pic, mobile and out of town lol)

 

[bubbleawsome]

No, that is the button that is grey'd out

 

[manofthem]

No, that is the button that is grey'd out

Yeah, I'm lost then. Other than uninstalling and deleting, not sure what to do. But that route deletes all current work so you may not want to do that just yet.

Good news guys! I'm an asshole to myself!

I forgot there was another week of this month so I was stressing over rent and stuff. Nope! I'm all good! I'm an idiot!

I have rent and whatnot ready to be paid on the 1st and now I'm saving up for an SSD for crunching stuff, because crashing isn't fun.

Bonus!

Great news now I can hit the casino, I'll just pretend the 2 grand I have to pay in taxes is not do in a few days

[librin.so.1]

I'm not really sure what it can be, but a few years back, I once had a [brand new] laptop stuck on 200 MHz :V
You can probs imagine that booting took DNF

Can you try English next time please?

What does CPU-Z report?

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Welcome to adulthood.

 

[Arjai]

Well, I cleaned out the Lappytop, or sorta, it wasn't Dirty.

But now, my USB2's stopped working, but the USB3, on the other side still does!

Also, for the last hour, or so, the CPU is at 100% and Temps are quite normal, if not a degree, or two, cooler since the light de-dusting.

So, aside from losing the USB's, for no reason, that I can think of, everything seems Hunky Dory! If I can still use that term!

I will watch it, over the course of the day. See what happens.

 

[Arjai]

Nothing unusual, at the moment. If it goes South again, I will post the stuff CPUz throws up.

Have seen this a million times on laptops I've been servicing. 99% of the time it means You either forgot to reconnect it after disassembling the laptop or accidentally disconnected it while reassembling.
This means, if You want to use the USB again, You'd need to disassemble it again, connect the USB back and then reassemble it. kappa.
