I see you peeps are still going strong heh?

We would be if we could get some mother lovin' WUs.

Chicken Patty · Aug 27, 2022

Don't even remember how to crunch lol. PC is workign one day then apart a week, once I get the PC running and finished i'll see if I help you guys out

I know it is a known issue, but this download error shit is just annoying. I cannot believe this whole move has been so difficult and full of problems. It makes me wonder if these folks have their shit together or not. I have been spamming the "Retry now" link to no avail. I have only been crunching 4 or 5 WU's at a time. Sorry - just have to vent some frustration.

It's been driving me mad the last few days, always see no end of retries to get the damn work downloaded and it just sits there crunching on a few cores... So frustrating. Happens with a lot of my systems I run it with and I've noticed quite a few GPU work units coming through too... Had to remember how to setup the crunch more than one at once setup as well :laugh:

Poor GPUs getting a work out as well!!

NastyHabits · Aug 31, 2022

I'm pleased to report that both my PC's are crunching on all threads with a large queue of work on each. Do we dare think that everything's back to normal? I certainly hope so. :clap:

HammerON · Aug 31, 2022

I am hoping so!!! I am 100% crunching and have a large queue as well

phill · Sep 1, 2022

It's all great to hear everyone, finally some good news!!

80-watt Hamster · Sep 1, 2022

BOINC manager seems to be operating normally for me now, as well. :rockout:

phill · Sep 1, 2022

Have you all been getting a lot of GPU work units as well? Some of the scores have been amazing!!

I'm going full bore (unless it's like, stupidly hot out) on WCG. Found out the other day my fiancé has lymphoma. Fuck cancer.

So sorry to hear that. My best hope she beats it. (My Mom did).

Hope it's a smooth recovery for them. I'll keep the machines cranked up for y'all.

Toothless · Sep 2, 2022

Right now I've got..

1920x, half the 5950x, half a 6700, 75% of the dual 2698v4, and dual x5675 all going. Hopefully I can get the 4790k going here soon.

I'll make sure I get all the rigs back up and running and crunch as much as possible for you both

That's an impressive list... I wish electric here was cheaper and I'd consider keeping things running a bit more

Ugh. Go home, cancer, you're drunk. Also, you weren't invited in the first place and nobody likes you.

In other news, my 5600G box has hopped on the WCG train. It's crunching at 10/12 because it also gets to run a Valheim server. I'm setting my 11700K machine to 10/16 for a few days to see how returned points compare.

Funny thing; running fewer cores caused slightly higher temps. This is likely in part to my PL settings. It's on air in a closed case, so to keep package temp somewhere in the range of 70C and fan noise somewhere in the realm of acceptability (and less heat dumped into the room), I set PL1=125. It was chugging along at about 72C on all cores, but hovers between 73 and 74 on five. Probably because the same power across fewer cores => higher frequency. I wasn't mapping that, so that doesn't show on the graphs. The fan charts is where the inflection point is really obvious.

I have two air conditioners running too. Power finally went over $300 this month but I'm not letting that stop me. I'll probably shut down the 6700 in turn for the 4790k when I get there. Overclocked means more performance and I've got my trusty Z97 MPower to help with that. Just need to install an OS and vroom.

I know this might not help, but I'd consider getting them undervolted rather than overvolted as I don't think the overclocking massively improves the performance to the degree it might be expected. The newer CPUs seem to all benefit from it but not so sure about the 'older' ones... I think it might help that power bill a bit more and you might get to turn off an AC unit, to help with a bit more saving and maybe then another rig could go up as well to help with the crunching

It was just a thought mind

I can turn off the core enhance for the 1920x, and that'll have it run 200mhz slower at much less heat. Everything else is either PBO or stock, though the 4790k can only do.. 4.6ghz if I remember right on 1.3v. Not a whole lot of heat there.

phill · Sep 4, 2022

Just wishing to help gain the points without the heat and power usage

I hope all is going well for you bud, I'm hoping that the little challenge I've set up for the team (and its open to others....) will have some effect on things going on for you

Oh and if your a fan of Unreal, ping me a PM, I've got something for you

Toothless · Sep 4, 2022

Might be.. Unreal... I'll see myself out after this. :roll:

Had to shut down the crunching. Fiance's family (well, wife today) is here and having so many desktops crunching makes it a bit toasty. Will resume in a day or two.

Toothless · Sep 7, 2022

der ain't no got dang jerbs

Anyone else keep running out of WUs? The 1920x seems to get the most for me but I keep seeing everything idle.

@Toothless I had a bit of lag in the middle of the day, but all is well now.

HammerON · Sep 7, 2022

I have not had many WU's the last two days.

Toothless · Sep 7, 2022

Come ooonnnn WCG. Gimme more work. Cancer ain't gonna mark itself. We have a challenge to compete in!

windwhirl · Sep 7, 2022

I have received some for MCM but most is OpenPandemics

Also, WCG is having a dumb moment.
