WCG Daily Numbers

[Arjai]

I seem to know what you're talking out here! I sure hope you get it good sir! Folding is an admirable cause, just like our crunching!

Got's it!! It should be on it's way, shortly!!

 

[Norton]

Got's it!! It should be on it's way, shortly!!

You got the MSI 7850 right? Awesome little card- mine can do a nice overclock w/o too much heat or noise!

 

[Arjai]

MSI Twin Frozer 7850...

I'm hoping it will be a workhorse, OC, Folding and a bunch of Dragon Age!

 

[Arjai]

OK, So, I hope we all had a chance to settle into the 10th Street Mansion!!

2nd day here and I am LOVIN' IT!!

7,196,308

I am so Freakin' Excited!!

1st, We are Killing It!! 10th Place!!
2nd, it's damn near summer, no Challenge and we are Killing It!!
3rd, around about a week from now, I will be installing a 7850 into Karen...I can't WAIT!!

4th, well, there isn't a fourth but, I am excited about moving into my own place (around July 1st)!!

OK, deep Breath.....
Nice Crunching Team TPU!!
Only the Best-est Team in 'Da Universe!!

And we's The Best Damn Team of Crunchers, IN IT!!

 

[Arjai]

Inched out by ESU!

Oh Well, That probably won't last. May as well just keep our stuff in the basement of the Mansion. We will be back!

But since we have the Deed on the 11th Street place, we can just roust the renters and party on,
Cause WE OWN 'Dis Beeatch!! LOL!

7,116,144

Still, Incredibly Impressive outing!!

I know, you folks regularly see this snippet of the rankings. Let me assure you, Taking this crop, from the TOP of the list of Top point getters, has not always been the case!

This has been an incredible run, even despite the turn down by some members, for various reasons.

Thank You Team TPU, All of You, for making my job, here, just a little, tiny bit, easier!!

 

[Arjai]

Told 'ja!!

Back to the Mansion Party People!!

ESU could keep up the rent, as I predicted.

But we got this, despite a downturn (looks WCG-wide, downturn).

6,904,214

This place is SOOOO Nice!

Let's have a BBQ!! Out by the pool!

I am going to a Saint's game tomorrow night. The new stadium is right downtown!! So, my post will be a bit tardy tomorrow night. Fair Warning!!

http://saintsbaseball.com/

 

[Arjai]

OK, so, it was raining, lightly. Even so, I got soaked by the 5th inning, and left.

I am watching the end of the game, now, online. Saints are up 12-3 Top of the 9th, coming up. 4 Wins, 96 more wins to go!!

Anyway, here we are. Still kicking butt.

6,878,155

Another day in the Mansion. Time enough to clean up after the BBQ pool party!! Grab that broom!!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005DD5BX0/?tag=tec06d-20

Is this better than the GeForce 6600GT I have now? And is the price worth it? (I kinda know it's better but, worth $70?)

What about this Tanga?http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IG117YI/?tag=tec06d-20

Might as well get this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00316SZSE/?tag=tec06d-20

Any who, Nice work TPU!!

10th Spot is the Shizzle!!

 

[Arjai]

ESU got us kicked out of the 10th Spot. Once again, we need to put our stuff in the basement. This won't last. It's a college team and all they do is Party in our Mansion!

So, let's get ready to clean it up, in the morning.

7,221,063!!

Lot's of big name Teams sitting BEHIND US!!

Why?

Because, Team TPU is the Best!! IBM sits on top because they are IBM. We sit where we are, as unlikely as it should be, because we are the BEST TEAM IN THE UNIVERSE!!



Nice Work TPU Team!!

 

[Arjai]

Oh well, I guess ESU wanted to stay another day, perhaps to clean up the mess or, to have another party. Your guess is as good as mine!


We did VERY WELL, AWESOME, actually...

7,200,619

Good for the Gatekeeper Spot, that we OWN!!

Hmmm, I am trying to get into my Yahoo, on This Ole Comp, the socket A, and my password is not working...I've been having a hell time with Yahoo passwords, as of late. Don't know why?

AHA!! I got it!! I just remembered my last bout with Yahoo and I subtly changed my password by mingling two passwords I use, thus the confusion and the sudden AHA moment. Sometimes, writing, or typing, something out, draws conclusions that otherwise were confounding.

Anyone else find this true?

The wierd part? The reddish-purple Flash when I remembered the password.

OK, if you could Mash-up these to things...

and then make them flash before your eyes, or, rather, just behind them. That would be what happened to me a few moments ago.
Oh course, I am talking about Susan Coffey's hair color.



Have a Great Night TPU Crunchers!!

The reddish-purple Flash when I remembered the password.

If you don't mind my curiosity, does it work the other way around? For example, does seeing that same reddish-purple remind you of the password?

TPU's been laying down some nice numbers. Makes me excited to see what we rake in during the upcoming challenge.

No, I see colors when emotional. Colors rarely make me emotional, if ever, don't really recall that happening.

On to the Numbers.

7,070,717

Very nice, indeedy!!

I am having a hell of a time with my new 7850, in Karen. I cannot seem to load the AMD Driver. I get the Intel Graphics or, a Standard VGA Adapter driver, from Microshit!!

I have 13.12_78 and cannot seem to get the card to take it. GPUz has yet to show that as the driver AND, I have to use the D-Sub to get video, instead of the DVI cable plugged into the GPU!!

I have Uninstalled the Standard, Used the AMD Wizard to install it. The Wizard, Install Manager, says the driver is installed.

The fans are spinning...The card was partially read by GPUz with the Standard driver...What gives?

Am I using too new of a driver? CatControlCenter won't open because it says there is nothing it can do?

"There are NO settings that can be configured" ? WTF??

Anyway, Nice Crunching TEAM TPU!!

Ah, I remember the days when 6 million was a high day.

I am having a hell of a time with my new 7850, in Karen. I cannot seem to load the AMD Driver. I get the Intel Graphics or, a Standard VGA Adapter driver, from Microshit!!

It should show up as a separate display adapter. What do you see in the Device Manager?

What does it show in GPUz?
Is the card working properly, has it ever been flashed?

 

[Heaven7]

@Arjai , I've had some issues like that before. I'd try to use an older driver first. Uninstall your current version before you do and clean up registry entries as well. I'm using version 13.4 - it works fine. You could also try to disable (not uninstall) the other graphics adapters via the Device Manager and then give it another try. I suppose your D-sub is plugged into the mobo, not the card itself. If so, you should be safe to try it. It worked for me, just my 2 cents.

 

[Arjai]

OK, First off, Thanks everybody for the offers of help. Seems all of us have had our issues at one time or the other.

I uninstalled, via Windows, everythiing AMD, or ATI. Then ran CCleaner's registry cleaner, x3. Then Glary, remove programs, to make sure and then Registry Repair. 20 items it found, in 2 scans. Both times 3rd one was clean.

Then, since I saved the latest download, I ran it again, minus the Standard VGA crapper and the internet shut off.

Suddenly, about 2:45 AM, it all worked!! So, despite the lack of sleep, I did learn something about AMD Drivers. Dump them all, entirely and start fresh for each update.

I have had, have, no problems with the Nvidia drivers, on my other machines, running a 6600gt, currently in This Ole Comp.

Sometime early next week, it will be switched out for a 6800GT, Twice the memory and almost 3 times the card!! Also, 2GB of DDR of the Mushkin kind will be here also (again, Twice the memory, this time RAM).

So, point is, we'll see how the Nvidia switcheroo goes!

 

[Arjai]

OK, on to the NUMBERS!!!!!!!!!

Seems XtremeSystems and ESU, switched spots. Since we are the Gatekeepers, no worries.

6,884,020

Nice Numbers for a Summer Day minus a Challenge, and all. Still keeping pace with the big guns.

They'll see the Monster Unleashed, come Mid-June, no?

I need some sleep. Plus I need to update This Thread!!

 

[Arjai]

On a side note, Happy Birthday Heat!!
http://heatware.com/bday15.php

Still holding back the hordes!!

Gatekeeper, live in Paris, 2005.

I love Leslie Feist. There, I said it. Again.

Ok, the Numbers!! OK!!

Geez, you guys can get demandingly annoying!!

6,784,329

Two things are giving me pause.

First, came home to This Ole Comp flashing some binary signals of demise via the drive and power lights. The fans were spinning but no video output and now nothing, after a restart attempt. I'm thinking the old bessie of a PSU, from the 90's, no less, bought the Farm.

It's been a good run Sparkle Dual Bridge 350!!! Glad to have had you as a friend. You stayed true, despite the time and changes, always there, steady, like a well needed rock!

You will be missed.

Sorry, rare form of emotional outburst. I will try to gather myself up....

OK, TWO, I tend to mentally check out, after hearing a Feist song. She seems to have total control of my synesthesia!

Third-ly, "there is no 'Third-ly!'"

There is if I SAY SO!!

OK Third-ly, as I was saying, is I am slowly getting amped about moving and I am truly excited about Tuesday, coming up.

I am going to do some maintenance on Karen, Tim and Fans and such. Also, will try out a couple PSU's I have here, that I am unsure of working. If I get This Ole Comp fired up, he's due for some upgrading. New Memory and a used 6800 GT.

OH! another thing for TOC, a heatsink I have been polishing... and polishing...

Only 2 hours in. Gots me a few more to go!!

Anyways, got this hunk of Cu by way of @ThE_MaD_ShOt . He knows what it looked like 2 hours earlier!! I plan to get it Mostly smooth and mirror-like!! I would love to have this cooling my Barton's, I have a few of them. In fact, I even bought a replacement fan for this (a Nexus Silent 70mm), it's a Thermaltake Volcano 7+. ICYWW.

Anyway, with all that outta the way, that leaves Tuesday. My other day off.

After a couple morning errands, I have the rest of the day, early afternoon start, to myself and the 4 games I downloaded from Steam, onto Karen's HDD. My first Real, if somewhat old, GPU!! I get to play something other than an Indie, or Flash, game!!

WooHOOO!! I can't wait!

So, Great Job Crunchers!! "Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper..."


P.S. another Feist for 'yas!

 

[Arjai]

OK, so, another Gatekeeper night.

6,451,565

Nice Work Team TPU!!

I hope we keep this up!!

I will be taking Karen apart, in the morning, so my personal average will drop. Oh well, she should only be down for a few hours. Then, This Ole Cruncher is down and out. After Karen is back up, Time to take it apart and try to find the problem.

I just got the memory for it and the new fan for the CPU cooler. It would be a shame if I can't use it. Unlikely since, I have 2 more Socket A boards, if this one took a hit from the PSU dying. I hope not!

Anywho, Wish me the best, PLEASE! I really do want to keep This Ole Comp working. It's been a, slow, but hard working machine for many years. It would be sad to let it go, not to mention all the fun I've had playing with the clocks on these old Athlon XP's!!

If I can get one of these PSU's to fire up, I may even throw the 3200+ Barton in for a test run!! I've had it for over three years, have yet to put in and see what it will do.

Good night TPU, I had a rough one today and I need to wake up and get to work on these Computers!!

 

[Arjai]

OK! How is everybody? Good!!

I got Karen up and running, with a nice new fan, intake on the side facing the GPU. New Tim on the GPU and CPU. She's running about 5 degrees F cooler and the GPU, folding at 95% Load, is sitting pretty at 48C.

The only problem today was twofold. This Ole Comp is still down and another computer I have I can get to the setup page but, cannot boot, not even from the optical drive...Not sure there. I do know the PSU works but, it's a 230W Compaq that I don't want in TOComp. So, it's be later this week before I can buy a new PSU. I'm thinking of this one.

On to the numbers!!

6,580,280!

Holding Steady!!

11th Street is a nice place!!

Links!!

http://awfullibrarybooks.net/
This site is a treasure trove of crazy old books. I meander here about 5 or 6 times a year for hours!

http://www.cracked.com/
Goofy Stories, so are pretty good. In a similar vein as the Onion, but different.

Fine work TPU!!

 

[thebluebumblebee]

before I can buy a new PSU. I'm thinking of this one.

If you can handle the rebate, this would be much better. CORSAIR CS450M 450W 80 PLUS GOLD Modular PSU $27
Edit: Expires 6/1!

 

[Arjai]

6,973,371

yes.
There is a lot I wanna say, but, due to the pain in my back, I will end this early.

Nice effing job TEAM TPU!!

Quite the jump, to almost 7 Mil!!


I know, I know, "almost" only counts in, Hand Grenades, Atom Bombs and Lawn Jarts!

There are more but, I am tired, a little buzz and in very intense pain. So, Good Night and Crunch on!

 

[Arjai]

Well, Look at that!!

A VERY nice day in TPU Crunching land!!

7,078,628
