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

That sucks.... I'm still wondering why some of mine were set to 60% and others at 100%. This guy?

I blame someone on another team with a backdoor to boinc manager turning all our machines down

I wasted about 6 hrs playing about with the ryzen rig last night, when I start tweaking time goes out the window lol. I enslaved the families i3-4170 pc so that should help make up some ground, and a laptop I was given with an A8-4500m which is so slow I don't think it's even worth running it.

that 2600k of yours has been throwing down 10k-11k ppd, it's at 9k already.

Finished with 17,015! I had 1,023 WU's yesterday and my results status page is up to 99 pages. :twitch:

I will be adding somewhere between 2 and 8 threads as the day goes along. I'm in the process of building a system for a friend and picked up a used 6600K/MAXIMUS VIII HERO that I need to test. Wouldn't be right not to make sure it's okay, right? :roll:

Bad thing is that I'm leaving for a few days and I don't feel totally right leaving it running.

Day 2 Results

Very well done everyone! :toast:

~~Something's not right. 23M is ~3.3M BOINC which is double our actual output.~~
Edit: Don't mind me!

That is the cumulative challenge score to this day (day 1 and 2), not just yesterday.

I need a link so I can grab the software to start crunching please, anyone?

NVM found it.

Boatvan · Mar 24, 2017

For anyone else looking to start, the BOINC client can be found here: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

fullinfusion · Mar 24, 2017

Is this right one to be using, it's been awhile so please forgive me.

Boatvan · Mar 24, 2017

It looks just like mine, so I think so! :toast:

Now, open tools>computing preferences.

Once that is open, at the bottom you'll see

Percentages of processors and % of CPU time.

Make sure that both have 100%

Looks awesome, thanks for joining in! :respect:

That's the 7700k right...what's it crunch at temp wise? Just curious

Additionally, you can log into WCG and choose which projects to crunch if there's something in particular you want. Otherwise, it can crunch away on whatever projects pop in.

stinger608 · Mar 24, 2017

@fullinfusion is also wanting to know what the script is to have BOINC report as soon as the WU is completed?

I didn't know such a thing existed! I would like that as well! Is there both Linux and Windows scripts? Or just windows?

I'd say give @FordGT90Concept's utility a go as it can be used to report immediately. Maybe ford can chime in

whats the link to see what spot I'm in?

Yup the 7700K @ 41c @4.5ghz for now, I'm just letting the paste settle in and will up it tonight.

This is the TPU team member stats sorted from highest to lowest points for today. This is the view I usually have it on.

There's a useful post from @ThE_MaD_ShOt on the second page of that thread on how to do the same thing for Linux:

EDIT- if you use the post above it's etc not ect on the file line (typo)

As @Boatvan said, FreeDC. Keep in mind you'll have to wait til your results are verified on wcg and then wait til FreeDC updates to see your points. May take a bit of waiting

But wow, that's a great cpu there, temps are amazing! :eek:

I'm going to be coming back to this view. It's showing that one of my x58 systems is lagging quite a bit behind the other (they're both @ 4.2 GHz). The 4790k is kickin' it for running stock and *only* 8 threads.

stinger608 · Mar 24, 2017

Downloaded and fired up BOINC on my i7 Alienware laptop................For a few minutes...................It was pushing the processor to about 98c!!!! :eek:

Dang, it! Couldn't justify those temps.

Set the laptop on a box fan and/or run at 60-80% - temps should be much better

@yotano211 should be able to give you some additional tips regarding crunching on a laptop
