Is it a tower? I think I know which one that is.

Maybe the one with the talking furniture.

It seems that all these princess stories have towers, talking animals/furniture, and the romance of a lifetime

It just pains me to shut down everything. In fairy tales, princesses don't have to stop crunching

Its ok. I am bringing on 4 more cores in your absence... That is in my new rog board for cheap.

Yea okay, what ever you say sis.......Bhahahahahaha

It set it up as public 4. I changed it to home group but I think I am going to have to uninstall everything and start over. Is there a way to get it to run as home group 1??

I think you can delete out the network connections and start over. Google would probably know if you asked him.

One of the problems I am having is BOINC will not connect or cant connect. I can download it, but when I run it it tells me it cant connect. The router is blocking it. The fire wall for the router and the pc is off. I think I need to tell the router or assign the router a port or something or give it and IP or something for BOINC so it will connect. Just don't now how and so far no luck at Belkin support.

Everything else is working fine now, except BOINC and WarThunder, it also will not connect.

Starlifter is back online under Windows 8.1... maybe slightly better PPD now?

Sucks bro, sorry about the trouble. Any chance the ports BOINC uses are blocked by default? I just saw that some issues can be caused by port 31416 being blocked and BOINC manager being unable to connect.... maybe worth a shot looking into?

Here is the Belkin guides on portforwarding .com Bow:

Find your model number and it will have a guide to set up the correct port forwarding for that specific router.

Keep us informed brother!

It took me two minutes of google searching to figure out that was the name of your rig. I was thinking some software somehow gave you better ppd under 8.1. on me.


On a related note, windows 8.1 compared to windows 7 bridged the gap somewhat between windows and linux in cpu performance if I remember correctly. I believe it was @TRWOV who showed this. If I am remembering correctly, is anyone curious as to how windows 9 will perform? The test candidate is coming september.

I call my server "Rockhead"

 

[manofthem]

Had a crazy little scare. I moved my main rig into my bedroom for the duration of the PP, and after a few minutes after booting up, I noticed CPU temp was 100*C BOINC starts immediately so it was crunching, but still, it never gets that hot. So after closing BOINC and having temps settle to around 86*C, I realized I had a major problem.

Long story short, my pump wasn't working after the transport. The same thing happened to me when I first redid my pc and changed my loop. So after checking power connections, I opened up the res to try to relieve pressure, and voila! pump kicked in and coolant was moving. 86* went down to 30* very quickly, thankfully.

I don't know if any damage happened, but I guess I'll find out soon enough.

 

[stinger608]

Damn MoT, that is scary shit brother! Glad you got it worked out man.

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

That's alright manofthem. I think your okay. My 8320 rig is playing bitch right now. Thing has been stable as a rock since I built it. No problems what so ever. I oc'd it right out the gate and temps always have been around 45c under load. Now the friggin' thing wants to hard lock every so often. It can run fine for a couple days then next thing it's locked. Also if I reboot it and when it gets to the desktop, if i click coretemp right away it will lock. If I let it load completely then click core temp it won't lock. I am wondering if something is going screwy with the os. If it is this bitch is going to linux.

You know you wanna. Just do it already!

Some chips seem to not like running overclocked 24/7 in Windows 7, I would try Linux or Windows 8.1 on it.

One of my 8350's locks on me when I go over 4.2Ghz, the other has been sitting at 4.4Ghz and 100% happy regardless of load for over a year now. I have the troublesome chip running in Ubuntu in an extended test at lower volts/lower clocks (1.15v/3.2Ghz) and it does fine.

Question for the Linux guru's- Any difference in ppd between Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 or with Mint? Considering trying Mint on my next install...

Thing is this thing has been stable from when I got till now. Not sure what gives. It seems happy go lucky for a few days then bam locked tight at desk top. I think I may give Ubuntu a go on it for awhile and see how it does. I am going to do some testing this week to narrow it down to make sure it is indeed a software/ os issue. I have another fx 8350 that should be here tomorrow and I ordered some new mem from the egg.

Not a linux guru but I can tell you there is not. What matters is the linux kernel used and I don't think there was a difference in the latest kernals. I remember from reading benchmarks on phoronix.com




Edit:
How the new 3570k/ asus rog gene system looks. Still awaiting proper gpu cooler.

Spoiler

 

[agent00skid]

My Athlon 5350 is now running Fedora 20 on a MX100 128GB SSD.

 

[Nordic]

Thought I was safe with this rog board. Dismorning before work I noticed it was having display issues. I restarted and left. I got home and there were still display issues. I tried three different graphics cards in the motherboard and now I cant even get display out of any of them. I can still get a display out of the igpu though. I also found a little cap at the bottom of the case which has me worried. I scanned for 30 minutes but could not see a spot where it came off of.

 

[ChristTheGreat]

Main rig (2700k) is down today. I am selling the HD7970 so that it is still worth something. I am giving also a Thermaltake ThoughPower 750w for an HD6850 (didn'T want to use the HD5670 xD)

I'll be ready for GTX 880 or so, I will see if I can grab some GTX 780 with waterblock

 

[xvi]

Why my 2500k is running so hot in this board no matter what I can not explain yet. Currently using the stock cooler for ease of use and am getting 80c running mcm workloads. This is stock. 1.15v at 3.7ghz.

Because you're missing that pin, that reduces the thermal conductivity between the processor and the socket which reduces the cooling capacity of the LGA which causes excess heat to build up and.. Okay, yeah, I have no idea. Have you checked HWmonitor/cpu-z to make sure it's actually pumping out 1.15v and not something higher?

I thinks that could be the problem. Been so busy have not had time to sit down and work on it.

Not sure if this is related at all or not... but since switching to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7, WCG doesn't seem to be erroring on work units anymore...
