That one has no on-board video, correct? That's where I got stuck with mine. That, and it only has a PCIe 4x slot on it (doesn't do me any good without a riser card for it).

No, but it has a pair of PCIe x16 slots (and is consequently currently housing a HD7930 and HD7850)

Nope:

Intel S5000PAL Server Motherboard - Newegg.com

I have one of those around here myself, but it's just the lacking for drivers in Ubuntu. I'm trying something with it right now. Not sure how it will work out

I can send you a crappy PCIe x16 card if you want to cut it up so it'll fit in an x4 slot.

Thanks, but I have a couple cards I could try that with. In the meantime, I'm trying something different that has support built-in...

If its not one thing it's the other. Got my i7-950 online, now I can't get the FX8120 rig to boot. .

That sucks man :shadedshu- can you get into the BIOS?

 

[JNUKZ]

I just checked the box: "If my computer can process work on my graphics card" on WCG website and appeared almost 50 HCC to do .

It's Crunch time.

You can do 5-600 a day on your 7770 if you set it to do 3 at the time. You have a dual core right, so 3 might be your limit but try 4 once your points has settled. Look for the multiple GPU thread and ask if it gives you problems.

So on the first option (how many work units I want run...) is 5 since is dual core CPU and usually 1 thread is to help GPU and the other 3 WU is for GPU?

EDIT: I used m&m's Auto Setup.

So what did you tell it to do? Ideally, you'll be running no CPU work and three or four on the GPU (but assisted by the CPU)

Yeah, that's all I can do. when the POST screen comes up it stays there for a bit then straight to BIOS. I have no options, BIOS or nothing

Gotta check it when I have a chance.

I'll try to get this guy to crunch... how does this system sound I built him, I'm not sure:

 

[ZakkWylde]

Looks good, psu is overkill for one card and no plan to sli/crossfire. If you want to crunch go with a 7950 instead of the 660ti (not just saying this cause I have one, they are much better at crunching). Probably could go cheaper on the ram but its not a bad price really.

 

[stinger608]

never mind.

 

[Norton]

never mind.

Well guys, Hello! I am in school again, since Jan 14th. I am studying welding, with my eye on the diploma, instead of a certificate. The VA is paying for my first year and the classes for Diploma are two years. So, looks like I will be appling for some grants and loans, this fall.

I have been very busy with school in the morning and work at night. I work Sat thru Thu and have classes Mon thru Fri.

I have computer access here at school, between classes but, no machines to crunch with. I was hoping for some good news from the VA about housing vouchers but, nothing yet. So, my crunching days are somewhere in the future with no definate time frame.

Oh well, I hope you all are doing well. I am doing well considering I can't sleep enough to feel 100% all the time. Sundays are normally a good day, work doesn't start until 9 and we close at 5. So, I can sleep in a bit and go back to the mission and sleep some more, after work. I have to take off now, I have a math class in a few minutes.

TAKE CARE!!

that is good to hear! The VA will help you out for sure.

 

[ChaoticAtmosphere]

good to hear from you Arjai, and GL with the welding, there's always metal that needs to be stuck together somewhere.

Keep in touch dude.

Can I abort tasks? Because I have a lot HCC tasks and they take around 4~5 minutes while the others take around 4hours.
btw How can I see my bionc points?

You can see your points by going to the "Projects" tab in BOINC Manager or by going to BOINCStats.com or Free-DC

You can abort tasks, but it's preferred that you not. How is your setup running now? If you've devoted the entire CPU to feeding the GPU, then you probably do want to abort the CPU tasks.

 

[JNUKZ]

Thanks Ion
Until now I did 3130 points... not bad I guess.
I still can't run multiple WU with GPU and running tasks with CPU are very slow.

CPU tasks are much lower, unfortunately. If you're only running one GPU WU, it's best to let the other core of your CPU continue to process the other tasks. But we can get you set up with multiple GPU WUs

So I got my internet bill yseterday and almost hurled. Normally I pay $80 per month for 60 GB of data (@ 8 mb/s down and 768 kb/s up), but my bill was over to $200.00 for January
I called the provider today and they stated that I used 116.5 GB Download and 57 GB Upload. The guy (he was cool) stated that I had an outdated plan and that I could (should) upgrade to a newer one. So I signed-up for the 150 GB (@ 18 mb/s down and 1.5 mb/s up) and they took off the additional charge from last month
I was curious on what my usage was going to be like with all this downloading and uploading. It didn't help that I re-installed about 5 or 6 STEAM games so I could back them up:shadedshu
Last night I was thinking I was going to have to reduce my GPU's, but now I don't have to worry about it.

 

[theonedub]

Is that SAT service? Pretty generous bandwidth caps, if so. You got pretty luck with the rep

 

[HammerON]

No it's cable. The rep told me that Anchorage has a new 50 mb/s download, but not here in our small town

 

[theonedub]

In the lower48 just about any cable provider would have stuck you with at least 50% of the overage Well sometimes you can get lucky, but more often than not they are all just out for the $$.

Its funny that you get faster internet in AK than I do less than 1hr outside the capital in California.
