So, now that I'm back and catching up, I'm reading up on Win10 and starting to prep for some upgrades. Two of my crunchers are on Win7, so I'm guessing a little bump in PPD might be possible.

Is Windows 10 working out for any crunchers on the new OS?

I have 5 rigs that are eligible for the upgrade. Just don't know if I want to do it. Expecially my main rig as i don't want to lose my Win8 key in the process.

Well, with the way windows update works, you'd have to check them often to counter the reboots...

How is everyone hadnly the summer heat? This summer has been as hot as August since June, and I am talking 90f+ weather. It has been a good 10-20f hotter on average in my region. I can't wait for fall to start crunching full tilt again.

I am liking windows 10. I installed it on 3/4 pc's today, 3 of which are inactive crunchers.

I have not heard anything about this. To my knowledge, you have your Win8 key, you upgrade, you use Magicjellybean keyfinder to get your Windows 10 key, and you can install Windows 10 as a full version if needed.

Counter the reboots for what? Windows updates? If that's what you mean, you should change updates to scheduled to prevent it from rebooted automatically at any "idle" point.

I plan to do my two crunchers (as I said above) since they are both Windows 7. I would need to wait at least two weeks (but will probably go longer) before upgrading my main rig, due to me being "on call" next week and doing some training from home the week after. I'd need to make sure my VPN client works with Windows 10 before I upgrade, which I can test from one of the crunchers, but I don't want to do that until I'm sure everything's going to be OK and I have more time to play around with it. I know there are some bugs popping up here and there, but that's normal stuff for being on the bleeding edge of new technology.

I upgraded the 2600k rig to Win 10 (from Win 7) several days ago, and I think it's running well. I haven't noticed any issues just yet.

According to WCG, it's returning good and valid results, though I don't know exactly its ppd difference. A quick glance at Free-DC doesn't show much difference as far as I can tell.

As far as I can tell, sure you can set it to 'notify to reboot' or somesuch, but it only gives you like a day until it reboots itself anyway. I could be wrong but that's just how it looks to me.

Concerning W10, I hope @TRWOV updates this:

TRWOV said:
yup, better performance overall. Pretty close to Linux now.

theonedub · Aug 3, 2015

My integer speed increased by~ 1,000 in Win10 from 8.1.

hat · Aug 3, 2015

Nice, looks like it's using the cpu more efficiently

t_ski · Aug 3, 2015

Thanks guys. Everything I've seen so far has been Win7<Win8.X, and Win10 is supposed to be even more tuned that .

Just download and run Produkey: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/product_cd_key_viewer.html

It will give you the Win 8 activation key. Then do an image just in case you want to go back. However I guess you can revert back within the first 30 days within Win 10

I have my win 8 key but from what I understand it gets consumed by the upgrade and is no longer valid after the upgrade.

Bow · Aug 3, 2015

Cooler temps this week so back up and Crunching. I was also thinking going W10. I like my 7 so I dont know. May just wait until its time for a new rig.

I believe that is correct. However if you decide to go back to Win 8/8.1 within the first 30 days you can do a fresh install and use your existing win 8/8.1 key.

Also, I will be shutting down all my rigs tomorrow evening until Saturday. I have to leave town and don't want to trust them running unattended for that period of time.

Toothless · Aug 3, 2015

Netbook still gives me issues.
Desktop is overclocked.
Not sure if I'll keep the laptop overclocked though..

Time for nightly crunching again.

It's been much the same over here, probably one of the hottest summers yet.

Me too. I never thought I'd be looking forward to cold & miserable weather, but - as a new WCG cruncher, I do so now.

2025's are the same voltage, so will work too, they are just a bit thinner.
