First day of work for me! (At my first non-temp job) and I'll be leaving WCG on! I can't get that horrid OC going on my 4790k so stock settings but all threads.

Congrats on the "first day" man!!!!

Congrats on the job, know em dead!

And a 4790k is very nice even without the OC, very cool

Well I know I can run it at 4.8 without overheating but it's more trying to keep Windows from crashing all the time. I can't even get my Gtx780 to the same clocks as the previous owner ran it at. I'm guessing its my board.

You need to buy a lottery ticket. New job. Won a Paypal gift in the drawing. Keep it going! :clap:

Question time.

Is there a way I can see what my computers are running on BOINC from my phone? Like what rig is running what task and how much longer until that task is finished?

Reason for this is because I have 14 threads across three rigs all running WCG and I'd like to see how they're doing while at work. And I'm debating on possibly being open to hosting a WCG dedicated rig.

Teamviewer would be the easiest to get started. Too bad [ion]'s not around....

Well I use Chrome Remote Desktop but I just want a summery of WCG clients, not remote desktop.

I like @thebluebumblebee's suggestion:

I use this all the time from my phone to log into my 3 pcs to check in and see what's going on, and it's been fantastic; I use it a lot when I'm away from home for a long day or 2, or vacation times. Plus, I use it to log into my other pcs from my pain pc all using the same application, so it's been golden for me.

Wow Dude,
may i be the first here to congratulate you both.

I'm having a little bit of trouble and would love to see if anyone has experienced this same thing before.

Brief history:

Recently swapped the old 2100 for a 2600k. At that time, I shut down, swapped CPUs, booted to bios, saw new CPU in bios, rebooted into windows, windows saw it and did Its thing, windows has me reboot; everything has been fine since.

Due to some lower ppd than I had hoped, I wanted to check things out with it. Inside the OS, everything seemed to be running to the max, so I wanted to check the bios options.

This is where my problem began...

Rebooted and hit del to enter bios, said Initiating Startup or whatever, quick splash screen, and then went to black screen with a white old cursor looking thing on the screen...it just sat at that screen. The cursor thing wasn't blinking, just froze. Had to hard reset. Tried a few times, same thing. Left it for like 15 minutes, and came back to exact screen.

So I shut down, opened it, removed cmos battery for like 5 minutes, tried again with same result.

Funny thing is, it will boot fine into windows, run everything, crunch without a problem, everything appearing to be normal... I just can't enter the bios. I left the PC off tonight with battery out and will retry in the morning.

But any ideas? Ever happen to anyone?

TL;DR
PC runs and crunches fine but can't enter bios; stuck at frozen black screen when I try to enter bios. Any ideas?

Maybe the keyboard? Did you try a PS2 kb or use your usb one in the port nearest to the PS2 port?

Haven't tried that yet. Only have USB ones but I'll try switching ports to see if it helps. Thanks

twilyth · Jun 27, 2015

Don't you also have to jumper the CLRTC connections - clear real time clock. The jumpers are usually somewhere near the battery. Not jumpering them means you're relying on the capacitors on the board to discharge through leakage right? That probably happens pretty quickly in most cases but not always. Back in the 90's I worked on an old Compaq that I don't think had the reset jumper. I had to leave it unplugged w/o batteries for over a week before I could do a clean boot.

manofthem · Jun 27, 2015

Well I left it about 12 hrs but it didn't help. I didn't see the jumper you were talking about @twilyth but I did use thrnclesr cmos button on the back of the mobo. It said it cleared it but couldn't get into bios.

My only option has been to download an MSI utility called clickbiosii that lets me edit the bios inside the OS. That worked, and I disabled some of the power saving stuff. That's all I know how to do for now.

Hopefully it'll help

Side point: I really need to get an ssd for this PC because it's so slow to reboot and do several things at once.

twilyth · Jun 27, 2015

CMOS clear button should have worked. If it's on the back of the machine you might want to check that it's wired to the correct jumpers. But congrats on finding a workaround. I've seen tuning utilities that let you modify some of the settings in the OS but I don't think I've ever seen one that gives you full control - interesting.

I need to shutdown my part of my fleet for heat reasons. My region is in a heat advisory reaching over 100f. I might just leave them off for a the summer. I will use this opportunity to start some linux optimition stuff I was talking about.

I am thinking I want attempt to trade my cougar S850 and cougar S750 psu's for three small 450-550w psu's silver rated or better psu's. I don't think that would be very easy to do because it would be easiest if I could find a person willing, let alone who would want to trade that. Most of my at home crunchers use under 200w right now, and I don't foresee that increasing. A 750w psu seems excessive.

Toothless · Jun 28, 2015

I got an achievement on WCG for I forgot what for. Either way since I'm working the next three nights, my desktop won't have a break.

Recca29 · Jun 29, 2015

Got the chance to check the i7-2600 processor on a new H61 board. The processor is not working. :cry:

FYI: Added my wife's laptop for crunching. :lovetpu:

i3-4030U + 2GB 1600Mz + 840EVO 120GB SSD + Win 8.1.

Hi everyone.

I have a question:
I have used W7 and Ubuntu for crunching and of course ubuntu is better, but now I have a curiosity, is ubuntu better than Windows Server 2012 R2?
