Finally got my first Help Stop TB W.U. :clap:

should take around 7 3/4 hours to run.
And all it took was updating to the latest Boinc Manager.

Well guys hate to say but my journey in the crunching ring is going to come to an end. I am going to retire in about 15.27 days (sorry @HammerON just got to take one more spot on the big pie first). I will be throwing up a for sale ad for most of my rigs in the next couple weeks. A couple of the rigs already have plans for them weather with me or to another member here. But the major player of my farm (2p xeon) will be up for grabs along with a few of the fx rigs and the x58 rig. So if anyone wants first dibs just pm me. You will just have to wait for the f/s ad to go up before I will sell to keep with the rules of the forum. I will still be around and crunch on a very smaller base. And for the first couple weeks I will only post the f/s ad here on TPU to give fellow team mates first shot.

It's a sad time for the team, but understandable nonetheless. You sure did give it a good run! :respect:

Sitting here reading about The Low Cost Dangerous Game Rifle: My Road to the .375 Ruger African (learned something new about how to handle recoil), the 300 RCM and other such news that I've missed over the last few years and then WHAM. Thanks for all you've done @ThE_MaD_ShOt .

Shooting is another hobby I have. Which I need to spend more time with and get behind the scope more.

OK well I'm starting to get the itch again.. I've added a few rigs.. and here is the latest to the mix... I'm a little disappointed, because my overclock started failing last week on this 5820k. I had it set to 4.5+ghz with a bulk clock of 127.34, multiplier set to x36 to get my ram to it's default 2800.. but now i'm running into issues. So, i've dropped the bulk clock to 100 and set the multiplier to x40.. I'll play around with it later, but for now I have to get some work done.. lol

Glad to hear the itch is back!

I'm sure you'll get that 5820k back to where you want it, just some fiddling. But even at 4ghz I bet that cpu will churn out nicely.

The HST WUs seem to be a little easier to come by now. This evening I got quite a few on my main rig, and i'll be keeping an eye out to see if they keep coming.

Thanks for all you did too push the numbers up, I too have had too slow down. :cry:

stinger608 · May 2, 2016

Had to shut my main system down yesterday! I don't exactly know how, but I ended up with a nasty bug in it. Ran Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, Avast, and finally ran Kaspersky recovery disk 10.

Each one got rid of some but after running Avast and rebooting it seemed to rid the system of everything. Basically just ran Kaspersky as a precaution.

The system was down for about 10 hours so my numbers will be down for a day or two I would imagine.

Just reporting in on this...

HST must now be in full order. The 4770k has been switched over to HST for several (~5) days now, and it has a healthy queue of HST WUs only. If you haven't dabbled in this project, seems safe to start now

I have only 2 projects selected at this time, FAH2 and HST. I have one HST WU across 28 threads. I have been getting 1-2 of them a day, so I don't think they're "in full order." But, I don't mind, because I'm about 2 weeks away from diamond for FAH2. I'm also 3 days worth of WU's from silver for HST, 2 days of which are already awaiting validation. I'm not complaining, things are working out nice - well - except for CEP2. Once I get those two badges, I'll shut everything down except for my 3220T for the summer.

I'm wondering what the team output is going to be a month from now, with ThE_MaD_ShOt shutting down, [ION]'s school ending and others backing off for the summer. Let's hope [ION] gets a job in the Pacific Northwest where the electricity is cheap.

(or better yet, a 2 year scholarship for another 2 years in school!)

I noticed similar at first. What I saw was if I had HST and another project, I wouldn't get many wu's. Access 24 threads, I'd have only like 5-9 wu's and that's with a 4 day buffer.

However, after reading several pages on WCG site about HST and seeing people post good results when selecting HST only, I too selected only HST on this pc only. (I had tried this before shortly after the project released, but it didn't give me enough work)

@thebluebumblebee: maybe give it a try to run only HST and see if your queue fills up. Even if you want to run more than 1, just check it out and report back.

You're right about that! It makes sense that we will drop off a good deal during summer; that usually happens.

I shouldn't be be dropping in PPD this summer, should be able to hold on strong. I think I'll stop folding as it gets hotter as I can already feel the warmth out there by the pcs.

run only HST

Done. I'll let ya'all know what happens.

Edit: 4 hours later and I've gotten 8 HST WU's. My Windows system if full, but all of my Linux systems are running out. (as I typed that, I got another one on one of the Linux systems)

manofthem · May 4, 2016

A non-modular PSU is a small mATX case isn't that best idea :rolleyes:

I spent a few hours today tearing apart 2 of the pcs. Got interrupted right when I started making progress, so I had to come back to it tonight after dinner. All in all, switched some ram around for the sake of colors, switched the PSUs around to get the better PSU in the crunch/fold rig, and that led to the non-mod in the mATX. Oh well, whatevs.

Took some time as one of my hdds wasn't being seen in Windows, then figured out it was the sata cable, either came out a tad or never made it in all the way...

So, pcs are back up and running, and I really like this Fractal case, it just looks so nice and clean and exudes quality. I'll post some pics once I get it all done. I just need to order some new sata cables because the ones i had were right angle cables, and those won't work in this case, need straight ones. I found one more, but I still need 2

Sounds like an improvement!

...other than the Linux systems

stevorob · May 4, 2016

Had a power outage last night, and I totally forgot to power 2 rigs back on to resume crunching until just now. Should start seeing some points come back in for me.

BBB, how's that rig been going since going exclusively to HST?

I stopped after 4 hours. :fear:

I was running out of work so I went back to FAH2.

Nordic · May 9, 2016

Thought I would pop in and say hi. It seems I am still crunching. My remote amd cpu's have been just going. I have had my 4790k going on and off. If I have anything else crunching I don't know about it anymore.

4x4n · May 10, 2016

Anyone interested in a decent 2600k set-up? Just posted in the for sale section here http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...o-2x4gb-patriot-1866-ram.222382/#post-3456127

Pm me if interested. I'll give a discount to crunchers.

FYI: This is my 2600K @ 4.4 on a P67 motherboard with 4GB RAM running FAH2 on Linux. http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?page=host&proj=bwcg&hostid=3314029

Also, it seems to me that FAH2 runs better on Windows than it does on Linux. My stock clocked 3770K with W7, the one that's my daily desktop, has been beating the dedicated OC'd 2600K on Linux.

Nordic · May 12, 2016

I just got a hot tip on something worth trying in order to get more performance out of Linux. I would try it myself, but I don't have a Linux system running atm.
https://github.com/Turbine1991/build_ubuntu_kernel_wastedcores

If anyone tries this, let me know your results. Make sure you @james888 mention me so I see it.
