Okay. 121 tasks and I won't stop until either my desktop needs a break or my room is too hot. Max temp is 79c with 100% CPU load on all threads running on the 4.4ghz turbo. Tomorrow I'll see about getting my netbook and laptop set up on WCG for another 6 threads of power on top of my 8 from my i7. I'm turning into a dedicated cruncher.

I need sleep. Today has been stressful.

Anyone got boinc to run on an android system with an Intel atom? For WCG I mean... The only thing my venue 7 gets is collatz conjecture.
 
After that, request a signature?
Yes correct! :toast:

Hat, I'm sorry, but I know nothing about that...the only Android devices I have are far too old for it to be worthwhile to even try (~1GHz single core)
 
So since my last post last night. 32 tasks have been completed.

Keep an eye on the thread. In a few days he will give you a link for you signature. Welcome btw.

Looks like my desktop will be done with the rest of the tasks tomorrow, so it can get rest a bit.

Not sure when I can turn them in tomorrow due to.. personal issues regarding my health and well being are being brought up due to my current living situation. Nonetheless they will be turned in.

121 tasks... Hard to sleep with fans and LEDs next to one's head.
 
I just checked on Breslau, the 3770k system, and it turns out that the 120mm fan in it had locked up, completely! Other than the fan in the 9600GSO, this is the only fan in the entire system....yet it kept running, with all 4 cores at 102C! :eek:
No idea how long it's been like this....IIRC last time I checked on it was in December, so it could have been upwards of a month.
I've replaced it with a new, not-broken 120mm fan, and it's back in operation in the upper 70s again.
 
Hey team. Got a question. I was just playing with Hyper-v last night and got a win 8.1 core running as guest OS. and win 10.1 technical preview on the other. I installed boinc manager and assigned 4 cores for each guest OS. Have seen that it is crunching as normal which is good.

question was, will it add more points if I crunch on Guest OS together with the host? I just started running all of them last night. (plan to keep it running overnight whenever I go to bed).

edit. Yup it does.

the win 10 was just up and running 3 hours earlier than my win 8 guest.

on the other note. seems that win 10 is slow to crunch than the win 8. I saw that win 8 upload more than win 10. This is I of course depending on the project crunching. anyway. Next update I should see update from win 8 guest. I will then see which one is better. maybe I will change to win 8.

Just messing around with win 10 just to see difference. And it looks like it is better than win 8.1. I like the start menu.

I believe there was a way to force more tasks to run at once in the cc_config, but it didn't really turn out to be a big deal.
 
Watch my numbers in the next couple of weeks. 4P Opty 6176 is crunching now and I will bring the 6180 rig online next week. Just want to showcase what they can do if any potential buyers are interested. If there is no team interest, then I'll put them on ebay.

May do an OS upgrade mid-week to see if I can boost production.

Buck, what sort of price are you looking for? I figure it's probably out of my range ATM, but still.....

Kinda depends on what package your looking for. Mobo/CPU's/Ram/ Coolers?

yup I also am interested in a price but like Ion maybe to steep for me .

Yeah....RAM optional since I can always loot half of it from Kiev, but otherwise that sounds good.
 
All tasks are completed. I just need a connection to upload them.
 
Can you use your cell phone and tether it?
Sadly no as my plan didn't include VPN use. I'll either have to wait for the "mother's hour of WiFi" or pay for Xfinity Access.
 
Guys I have an idea. It's not the best but it's something.

What if one of us got a huge building like what Goodwill or Target would use, put tons of shelves with a countless amount of WCG dedicated desktops running, with it being open (but limited) to the public to educate people on what WCG is and how it works. The sign would say "TechPowerup's WCG Education and Crunching Center."

We must win the lottery.

If you have an unlimited plan, check out FoxFi. If you don't, it may not be worth it.
