Day 4 Results





This should be pretty close for the top 10 teams. I went back and did some maths which hurt my brain, and then threw it together in Paint :laugh:



Day 5 Results






I forgot yesterday, sorry. :oops: It was a very hectic day from start to finish, all day running and going non-stop.






Edit: just added in some of the numbers for Day 4, and they should be pretty close.

Notice there was a little switcheroo going on; MyOnlineTeam overtook BRASIL - BRAZIL@GRID yesterday :eek:

Who's got a kaby 7700k running in the challenge? I'd like to know what kind of points it's bringing to the table so I may compair if mine is slacking off or still spooling up.. I also run it for now @4.5 with 1.120 v so is that to low to cause lower points but not enough to BSOD the machine?

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated ;)

You can search through this list but it may take a while to get to the section where the 7700k's are hiding:
https://boincstats.com/en/stats/15/host/list/14/500000/0

Over 2.8 million cpu's have contributed to WCG! :eek:

FreeDC shows your 7700k threw down 7,700 yesterday, and today already it's at 5,498 so it's on track to hit yesterday's numbers. I'd say that's pretty good ppd, and it looks like it may still be spooling; usually takes about a week to hit optimum spool. I don't know what a spooled and OC'd 7700k should hit though so sorry for the lack of info.

I would say that if your cpu voltage was too low, your rig would become unstable and you'd know if there were issues. But, log into WCG when you can to see what's happening. Once you're logged in, look at the Results Status, and filter through the results using Error, Invalid, etc. That will show if you're erroring out on WUs, and conversely if all results are valid/validating, you'll know that you're good.

Great, and thanks for the link. I logged in and have over 3 pages pending validation :) and zero errors or any thing else as a problem so I'm happy now. So with that said I'll be home Wednesday evening and do my thing and turn it up since now I know it's still kicking out work units and 100% stable. Thanks for the hell guys I appreciate all the info you've all shared ;)

I didn't know I could use my Android phone!

Well the LG G4 is now crunching. Trying to help make up a bit of ground for starting a few days late ;)

My 4790's temp went up almost 10* and I don't know why. I'm keeping an eye on it, hopefully it'll stay fine at least til the challenge ends.

Thermal paste drying up? Well spotted.

I found out why the laptop with an A8-4500M was going so slow.. the vast amount of crap thermal paste meant it was throttling back like crazy. A bad temp reading from hwmonitor scared me into changing the paste, but now it's done aida64 is showing all cores around 68-70c and there's actually hot air coming out of it now, instead of lukewarm before lol

I kinda wish we could combine points with XS just to knock Team China out of top spot! They're putting out some seriously impressive numbers! :twitch:

Edited for grammar

What's it running at for temps?

Up to about 85! :eek:. Was crunching around 75 when I set it up, but it's nuts now. This is what was happening when I had it in the mATX case, except it got to the 90s, which it looks like it's heading there.

I'll try to adjust the fans for optimal air, but I don't want to dismantle and reseat the cooler if I don't have to, don't want that down time. :(

OK got ya, what cooler is it? If it's an easy on/ off cooler just change the Tim out.. For me it'll take an hr of down time so since I'm not home yet till tomorrow my Android is making up for some of the time I'll be down which won't be long.

When you do things enough times it don't take long at all ;)

Beats killing a good chip. But I know you take crunching to heart but it's like a car, you ignore the little oil can light on the dash it won't be long.till game over ;)

Pray that it's not the TIM under the IHS. That would be a bummer.

That's the chip I sold him so possible if it's been crunching for all this time I bet it probably is dried out. Or did @manofthem delid the 4790?

If it's anything like the tim under my 7700k and only a few days old once I delidded it the shit paste Intel uses is a freaking joke.. It was hard and flaky and looked like it was 10yr old paste you'd expect to see under a cooler that's dried all up..

@manofthem 85 is nothing lol jk. My Android is running 100-101*c using 6 cores so had to change it and run only on 4 ;)

Yup, same chip I nabbed from you a few years back. ;)

It's an H80i but a refurb from Newegg, also years old now. @madness777, @fullinfusion I haven't delidded the chip yet, but I was tossing it over in my mind earlier today. I think I will post challenge, but I need to check if the liquid metal stuff I bought a few years ago is still good.

I'll recheck the cooler seating, but the h80i might be going out on me. I also have a cheap air cooler that will do in a pinch backup situation.

Hope for the best! If you do end up de-lidding it, I would suggest using the Liquid Ultra, others can't compare.

Agree on CLU for sure.. The ultral is easy to use over the older pro stuff. The new grizzly 12.5w/Mk paste is awesome too.. Just a BB dab on the center of the chip and the block spreads it nice and even ;)

And edit: @manofthem what voltage are you feeding that chip? PM me if you like as I've worked with them chips for a few years and can give ya some advice on what and what not to enable ;)

And my Android did the same thing on one of the jobs.. Sat at 100% all night and said it was running but also said complete.. It just hung up and robbed one of my cores the entire time.
