Hi everyone.

My mother passed away yesterday afternoon about 12:30 Pacific time.

I will miss her very dearly as she has always been a big part in my life as my pop passed away many many years ago when I was 11 years old. She was pretty much the mom and dad. Dang, it is tough to deal with at this time and I am pretty depressed today. I think being here at her apartment is kind of causing some of the depression. It wasn't too bad last night, but I think it is finally setting in today.

She passed very peaceful in an amazing hospice center.

I want to thank the Nathan Aldelson Hospice Center for an amazing job of keeping her comfortable and doing all that they could. The nurses, doctors, and staff were so amazing with her and me while I was there by her side. She is in a better place now. She had very bad crippling arthritis for many years and suffered a lot of pain due to the arthritis. Now she is peaceful, so I thank the lord for that.

Sorry for going on everyone, I just needed to vent a bit.

No apologies needed my man, condolences on your loss

@stinger608
Very sorry to hear that bud! It's a terrible thing to have to deal with, especially so last minute, but at the least you got to be there with your mom before it happened.

Stay strong buddy!

Hang in there Dano

She's out of pain now and she will still be watching over you and the rest of your family.

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Jan 26, 2015

Sorry to here Dano. If you need anything let me know bro.

Arjai · Jan 26, 2015

@stinger608 Feel free to vent all you want. Also, please believe, despite some not posting, we are all with you! It is often very hard to comment when someone has something hard to go through.

I know all of us have, at some point, lost someone close to us. Each of us deals with it in different ways, venting is often a very Healthy way of dealing with tough issues. A lot us here know I tend to rant on here, occasionally.

Best wishes to you and your's!

HammerON · Jan 26, 2015

My condolences @stinger608
So sorry to hear about your loss. She is a better place now; however it does not ease your pain of missing her.
Take care of yourself and your family.

Something crazy just happened...

The i3 2100 has been running fine for a while, but for some reason, I decided to open up realtemp to check cpu temps. Silly idea, since it's been fine for such a long time, but I just saw that the CPU was running at 90-91*!!! :eek:

Just paused BOINC and temps dropped down to about high 60*s; normally idle temps were around 32-35 w/ loads around 55-57ish.

No idea what happened, I haven't touched this thing in forever. i'm guessing the hsf is crap, but I haven't opened it up yet. I'm surprised that the PC was running so well though, given the high CPU usge and crazy temps. Thankfully I have a spare Coolit cooler that was going to be swapped into this rig, but the time never presented itself. Now tomorrow will be the day, just need o shut this rig down for the night.

Stock cooler on that thing? That CoolIt cooler worked a good bit better for me once I took the washers off them. Seems a bit difficult to get proper contact on that thing. The instructions weren't the greatest on those things anyways. Seems like I had another plan to clamp it down a bit better. I'll check when I get home.

Almost need a copper shim or something for that thing. Seems weird that it's basically a Corsair H60, but no one seems to have these kinds of troubles with the Corsair.

You are correct (plus, it's the cooler I got from you a while bsck). I had the coolit on the other CPU, but it only made half contact. I think I'll take your advice and try without the washers.

I think the pc had a serious dust buildup. I blew out a bit and temps dropped decently. Tomorrow the coolit will go on

I figured it was. Removing the washers lowered temps by a bit, but it's still not making great contact. Took it off just now and it looks like it is making good contact, just the pre-applied thermal paste is terrible.

Glad to hear contact is solid, makes me have no doubts about mine. I'll be doing that pc tomorrow after work, but it's a long drawn out deal since the motherboard has to come out to change the cooler. The opening in the back doesn't line up with the board, which makes it pointless and just irritating.

It's all good though because the pc is FILTHY! I couldn't believe how bad it was when I looked tonight, but it desperately needs attention lol. :oops:

I had a similar problem with one of the hex quads. The temps on one was a lot higher than the other. When I removed the hsf I saw that the paste on the hot one was all shriveled and cracked.

I guess that certain types of paste just can't handle high temps for prolonged periods. Plus I think one of the chips probably ran a bit hotter anyway.

Ah Dano I'm so sorry for you. If you need anything from us, please say so.

I've never lost anyone so close....just great-grandparents....losing a parent, damn, that must be devastating :cry:

theonedub · Jan 27, 2015

Very sad to hear the heartbreaking news, Dano- I can't imagine how tough this is for you. Take care, any help I can give is a PM away.

Output is likely going to be down tomorrow and Thursday the university is conducting fire safety checks which means I'll have to tidy things up a bunch unless I want to be busted :rolleyes:

I'll try to find a tidier long-term solution too.

Nordic · Jan 28, 2015

So your saying that many computers are a fire hazard?

I don't think so, but I have cords and such stretched out in a way that looks far worse than it actually is.
Issue is, I don't have time to tidy things up ATM, so I'll just shut down and unplug and then probably put it back more sensibly on Friday after class.

Yes that's correct. The Joined-Retired lists the dates that you joined a team, and, applicable, quit it. The Current part means that you're still a member of our Glorious Team :toast:
