You seemed to have information regarding the system hosting the boincstat site ,so I thought possibly you knew the person , what I was asking was ,if you knew if it was a person who was a member here at Tpu, just out of curiosity

thebluebumblebee · Mar 8, 2018

If one of those guys is here on TPU, they sure are keeping a low profile!

Thanks to yesterdays Nor'Easter and the power failures caused by trees hitting power lines I lost work on all 4 of my remote rigs

Got the Opteron 4P and the i7-980X rigs running this morning and the i7-970 rig running this afternoon. Hope to get the 2600k going sometime tomorrow....

I surprisingly didn't lose power but, that's probably because I'm further away from the coast. The 3820 is now at 101 days of uptime just crunching away.

Norton · Mar 9, 2018

Looks like everything is up and running now.

My ppd will drop off a bit starting tonight. Need to move around some rigs at home, including taking down the X79/3930k setup so I can ship it out to @stevorob

Still debating about donating my X58/980X setup in a future challenge and replacing it with another Ryzen system... will likely do so if I can get a 1700 or another 1700X for a good price.

Oh my god!!!!!! That would be an amazing nostalgic system!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh noes my stats disappeared and stopped reporting on FreeDC again!

EDIT: Tried to join the FreeDC forums about a week ago when this all started, verified email, but unable to post or message. My theory is nobody is activating new users' accounts at the moment.

thebluebumblebee · Mar 10, 2018

FreeDC seemed to be okay when I last posted Pie. Seemed to be.

I'm in the same boat.

is the 1700x worth $20 more than a 1700? or is it best to go with the cheaper of the two?

the 1700x is $295 iirc on slamazon ($296.18)

What does the FreeDC site need to host? Is there a hardware requirement?

The differences I know of are a slightly lower clock speed but it comes with a cooler, which I think the 1700X doesn't have one...

Boatvan · Mar 11, 2018

For the stats issue, I've noticed a pattern. In the morning, I think just after the first update of the day, my stats are gone. Come evening time, they're all back (like when you post pie). My points showed normal last night, but are now minus the last week. Weird stuff, kinda sounds like a database issue?

jboydgolfer · Mar 11, 2018

I dont know if it was just me, but i have been having real problems with Boinc client. Last night it just froze up, and i couldnt close it, it wouldnt respond at all. I have it set to auto launch at login, and it happened again this morning. It was showing only Boinc client running in taskmanager, but there was 100% load on my CPU, it also showed no user logged in, I think i finally got it working, but im not sure. just a heads up in case it wasn't just my machine. the only reason i noticed it was happening, is it was causing lag in my computers other activities....which running WCG at 100% never does, so it was definitely odd.

Definitely weird- tried to get the Milestones yesterday evening but there was only one there when I was positive I saw more earlier in the day. They were all there this morning :confused:

Noticed that my rig stats randomly seem to vanish also?

My systems have been doing fine. Which version of BOINC Manager are you using? I use 7.6.33 on my Win10 rig

EDIT- still down one rig thanks to random power outages in the area where the rig is located :banghead:

Hope to have it sorted on Monday and be back to 100% shortly afterwards

Norton said:

7.8.3. ? Is it the number in the bottom right next to the "connected to local host" message?

Correct

Note that if you're having persistent issues you may want to try a slightly older version. Will update with a link to older versions in a sec

Thanks to some help from @Norton, I should be putting together a new Cruncher soon to replace my main rig. My 4770k hasn't been crunching lately since wcg starting throwing some memory errors so I'll be happy to get back on the grid

Excited to try Ryzen but also looking forward to some hiccups along the way :laugh:

still looking for a board so if anyone sees a good deal, let me know

Saw an Asrock X370 Taichi somewhere for 159 over the weekend. You can also take a look at the Asrock X370 Pro4... looks like a pretty decent 100.00 board.

NastyHabits · Mar 13, 2018

@manofthem Congrats on taking the Ryzen plunge. The best piece of advice I received was to download and install all the latest drivers and BIOS, then just let it run for 2 days. That worked for me. Don't know what it does, but it seems to find its best "groove". After it settles down, then you can mess around with overclocking, etc.

jboydgolfer · Mar 13, 2018

ASRock X370 Killer SLI/ac

ASRock X370 GAMING X Fatal1ty

the taichi are selling for roughly $170 currently, even saw one on ebay BNIB for $170+ S/H

@manofthem If you need some ram for that 4770k I might be able to help you out.

My numbers have been all over the place lately, my 14 core Xeon keeps losing it's internet connection. It has over 100 days of uptime with no problems so I don't know wtf it loosing connection now. :mad:
