not entering can't afford to pay the power bill as it is
but good luck people

I feel your pain. I just paid a damn $1300 electricity bill(i pay the elec bill & i was in the hospital for a couple weeks, so it went unpaid). During the winter months the electric heat in combination with all the devices that normally run has bumped my homes usage to 2700Kwh/month (which works out to around $400+\month :( ).

I hope things get better for you

Best of luck to everyone!:peace:

Hi everyone. It's you friendly neighborhood pie maker here inviting you all over to admire the great work that you've done for this challenge. Normally, 4,000+ points will get you into the top 40, but today that required over 7,000 points. I felt it was not right to leave people off of the list, so I selected all who had 4,000+ points today, which turned out to be 50! :toast:
Have you got pie today?

Woohoo! My first time to break 10k in a day! Just in time

Edit: Also the first time my FX 8370 has beat my i5! Must have been jealous...

Great work Team!!! :rockout:

o_O Electric heat sucks!!! My electric bill gets near $400 due to AC in the summer... wifey wants it cold in the house. :rolleyes:

My natural gas bill rarely goes over $120 in the coldest part of the Winter and that's for heat, hot water, cooking, and the clothes dryer... about $60 when the heat is off for the season.

Women. That's all I'm gonna say on that topic, lol.

Natural gas rocks, I'm up around the $250/mo mark in colder months, but switching from oil was the best thing I ever did to the house. I'm worried as Exxon has quietly been snatching up control of natural gas supplies, think Standard Oil.

Anyway back OT, POINTS!

Don't anyone get excited about my numbers at BOINCstats. They have me at over 45K :eek::kookoo: points for the day so far! I did not, I repeat, did not, go out and raid CL and triple my farm. :laugh: WCG has me at 26K so far. But wait, that's ~52K PPD, and that's about 20K above what I'd expect. o_O My points per day of processing time is almost 50% higher today than it was yesterday. Reminds me of those OETs on Linux. My 4.4GHz 2600K is on track for a 25K day!!!!

Dedicated:
i7-2600K @ 4.4 Linux 4c/8t
i7-2600K @ stock Linux 4c/8t
i3-3220T @ stock:laugh: Linux 2c/4t
i5-650 @ stock W7 2c/4t
Non dedicated:
i7-4790K @ stock W7 6t (it's set at 75%, I don't know how many cores it actually uses for that)
i5-3450 @ stock W10 4c/4t
i7-3770K @ stock? 4c/8t

Fun week for me:
My hot water heater is trying to be a tea pot.
The keypad on my stove has failed and they don't make replacement parts for it anymore.
My washing machine died last night with a puff of smoke and a tripped circuit breaker.
One of my old GTX 560 Ti's died after a power failure

Edit: Sorry @stock, for tagging you. Unintentional.

Oh I'm excited, I just don't understand what voodoo you've employed to give your cpus their incredible ummph! Just checked FreeDC, and that 2600k of yours has been throwing down 10k-11k ppd, it's at 9k already. :eek:

My 2600k sucks, just finally hitting over 4k.

Well we had a bad storm system come through here a couple of days ago and I guess my cruncher rebooted so many times it was in the recovery screen when I checked it today. I finally got it back into windows and back to crunching. I need to add it to my 1500W UPS.

Thanks but I have some alternative plans with my systems. Going to ditch the 2600k system and give the 4770k to the wife, and then I'm going to get a Ryzen rig for me, sometime in the future. Just gotta stick it out til then.

That's a good idea. I had a solid ups for a while it saved my main rig from many reboots due to storms, lightning, etc while the other rigs rebooted.

The only thing that I do that might be different is that I only have .1 day of reserve. Then when I run into those small WU's, I get a bunch of them. Seems like I'm the only one with a huge boost today.o_O

A bit late to this party, had some work stuff keeping me from getting everything setup. It's been a relatively warm winter, so the non dedicated boxes got a break for most of it (it just gets too damn hot with everything running)

Just got the htpc fired backup downstairs after a dead drive took it out for the past few weeks, its only a 2c pentium, still pulls in some points. Also got the 4690k going, and the dedicated 4c/8t w3550 xeon is always running.

Come on in, the water's fine! ;)

That would be awesome if you could, we'd welcome the cycles. PM me if you need any assistance setting up, or @Norton or @thebluebumblebee as any of us would be happy to assist :)

My 980X went through so much, I got a BSOD tonight at 3am, poor guy can't hold 4GHz anymore, I'll be dropping the clocks since it's getting toasty and it was already at 1.35v. It's under water and using the liquid ultra, was barely reaching 70°C.
QPI voltage doesn't help either. RIP 980X

Pretty sure the Rampage III Black Edition has no problem running everything. PSU is SeaSonic 660W Platinum. It could potentially be the RAM but I wouldn't be getting a Code124 BSOD.

Software Win 10
Pretty sure the Rampage III Black Edition has no problem running everything. PSU is SeaSonic 660W Platinum. It could potentially be the RAM but I wouldn't be getting a Code124 BSOD.

Here's a thread where someone fixed the 124 code error with a BIOS flash. Someone mentions 124 as being a MS "I don't know why the system crashed" error, so yea, could be all sorts of different things and I wouldn't rule out RAM. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/31435-63-blue-screen-death-code.

My P6X58D all of a sudden stopped wanting to boot, would BSOD, reboot, or lock up when reading the CD ROM. I traced it to a single DDR3 module. Removed it and all is good now.

Rule of thumb for X58: 0x124 = increase/decrease QPI/VTT first, if not increase/decrease vcore...have to test to see which one it is
I've had problems with DRAM on X58 but it wasn't the RAM, it was either the Uncore Frequency or QPI Voltage. RAM was just fine.
Furthermore, the C2 RAM slot doesn't like frequencies over 1600MHz, every other slot handles 2200MHz but C2 just doesn't do it. It doesn't post even if it's 1602MHz.
And yea like you mentioned, it could be a whole cluster of reasons for that BSOD. The motherboard is watercooled too so heat issues aren't the case.
For now I'm lowering the CPU Freq to 3.6GHz at 1.22V to bring the heat down.

I haven't tested the RAM in any other slots and was considering that the slot may be the problem too. Odd thing is that everything ran fine, then all of a sudden started acting flaky. Haven't spent any more time on it, just crunching away with 6GB instead of 8GB ;)

No idea how but somehow my main rig got set to 88% cpu usage! This is very strange because this 4770k never changes and always runs 100%, but thankfully I noticed and set it back last night. But still, weird and definitely resulted in some lost points :mad:
