Oh if you want some of it you can have it. We could be buried under 2 or more feet by Saturday. It's supposed to start mid Friday and they are saying that right off the bat we could see 3 to 4 inches an hour. Shit won't even take its time, going to bury us right from the start. I been saying if people want a blizzard carry your ass to Dairy Queen.

Meanwhile in NC, they're are saying we MIGHT see 3-4in total in the Charlotte region... and people are losing their minds (as usual)

Bread, milk, and eggs are flying off the store shelves.

Sounds like here lol.

Servers have been delivered. Probably going to be tomorrow before I can get them set up though.

Holy crap bro, sounds like a major storm! I heard that a bunch of the eastern seaboard states were going to hammered starting tomorrow. Hopefully you don't end up loosing power for days!

Meanwhile here we are suppose to get near record highs for Saturday. I think in the last couple of weeks we have probably gotten about a foot of snow. Of course that was out of 4 or 5 snows during that time.

Thats alright I have 3 fireplaces, and plenty of food and water so I'll be ok.

Got the first of the 1U barebones set up with 4 Opty 6172s

Running comfortably on 8GB RAM with CPU temps around 50C. Going to get the other one going tonight or tomorrow and then it's OCing time!

DarthBaggins · Jan 22, 2016

Just swapped back to my Ubuntu Distro, need to add BOINC to it so I can get back to crunch in under linux

[Ion] · Jan 22, 2016

Second of the 4P 1U systems going :toast:

This one suffered pretty substantial beating at the hands of FedEX, as well as a bent CPU pin, but still seems to be going. Tentative results suggest about 70K PPD between the pair.

My box with the 4 H8DGUs, 8 Opty 6172s, and 8 heatsinks arrived today. Don't have the rest of the parts I need (or time) but I hope to get them built/running this weekend
That + the 4P setups means that, if I can find sufficient power, it's another 192 cores

How do you find place and power for all the rigs you have? I know from your posts that some are hosted outside your living quarters but still you most have 100s off cores in your "room". Respect for your dedication :respect:

[Ion] · Jan 22, 2016

I have systems in five different places offsite. Then, out next to the TV in the main room of the apartment, I have 3 Dell T5500s and a 4P setup. In my room, I have 5 regular tower systems under the bed and then four servers stacked on top of the dresser.

It's a SNOW-POCALYPSE!!!

I guess it's time to break out the shovels... :ohwell:

stinger608 · Jan 23, 2016

Jeez, the most expected is 12"-15"? I thought it was suppose to snow. :laugh:

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 23, 2016

well we are at 18" and still coming down like a freaking blizzard. They are calling for another 8" or so through out the day.

[Ion] · Jan 23, 2016

Heavens. We have maybe an inch and a half here in Raleigh. Just enough that it's inconvenient to walk through.

Upside is, with the window open the 1U servers run much quieter than normal

I know how you guys feel. This morning it was 59F when we all went out, really had to bundle up. Can't wait for winter to be over :laugh:

But seriously, that storm up by you @Norton looks pretty nuts, it shows a whole lot of snow on the Weather Channel. I'm quite sure I'd die up there :fear:

Seems like we're safe in Ohio. Man, this year has been pretty messed up for weather, and Ohio has dodged a lot of shit... again. We might have shitty roads and get some winter blasts once in a while, but I think we got a pretty good geographical seat here. Stay safe dudes, especially while driving... I'd be in really bad shape right now myself if I wasn't lucky. The roads looked clear but I must have hit a patch of ice or some shit and next thing I knew my shit was all over the road... good thing no one was around me. Just threw it in neutral, hit the brakes and hoped for the best... turned out okay thankfully.

Now then, is there any benefit to updating the BOINC client? My Athlon II x4 is running an older version...

I typically update when I finally realize there's an update, which is usually long after the update is available. I haven't noticed any issue or downside with waiting to update. Then again, if you have the time and access, might as well update.

Glad to hear you're OK too from that road predicament!

hat · Jan 23, 2016

Yeah, and then a few days later I find my passenger side rear tire flat as fuck... new tires too. Good thing tire plug kits exist... I gotta find a way to repair that tire properly soon, though.

This will sound odd coming from somebody in the south, but hitting your brakes on ice is probably the worst thing to do. I hit the clutch and glide myself where I need to go be it off the road safely or safely spin if nobody is around lol. Last year when we had a few " of ice on the road I was doing 40 and hit a patch of ice. I slid sideways maybe 100ft or so then let it roll into the ditch. I used the momentum I still had to get up the small slope and kept driving like nothing happened. If I'm on the highway and there's ice usually there is nobody on the road (because Texas) and I just make minor corrections to stay in my lane. It's really not difficult to drive on ice, just can't panic and jerk the wheel or slam on the brakes.
Speaking of weather, it's 49f right now and by the time I head out for my "decompression" time it'll be closer to 36f. No snow in sight. I hate this state.

Edit: When I mean spin I mean by having fun if I can do it safely. Don't want to wreck my car that I've had paid for since I got it. Don't want payments.

Managed to pull 7th in the world yesterday

Man, I hope they make some overclockable Xeons soon. Not 1366, I mean I want some overclockable 16c+ monsters. Skylake allows bclk overclocking, at least to some degree. Hopefully Xeons will start coming out with the same thing...

You all heard about winter tires? I wouldn't ride 1 mile on my summer tires if there was snow/ice. I did hit some snow in Turkey on summer tires. I had to pay a tractor to pull me over a hill

It's basically pointless to buy winter tires in Texas and they handle no different than my all season tires on ice which is basically all we get here. Inches of straight ice.
