WCG-TPU Cruncher's Hardware/Tech Support Discussion Thread

[SirKeldon]

Hello everybody, hope this post belongs to this thread, if not, please let me know and I'll remove it or ask for it, so sorry in advance.

I was an active cruncher some years ago (as a matter of fact, still close to top 100 at TPU WCG team) but I think I missed some important updates for these last 5 years regarding my user at WCG official page, cause, it is not "found" anymore and I can't find any mail or info regarding world community grid (tried to recover the password with several mails i may have used but no luck and the username is no longer recognized) ... so I can't access to the page at WCG and can't setup my client with my username/team properly.

I've been digging a little bit and found my page at free-dc, which is this and contains an identifier. Do you think it will be possible to contact directly with WCG support team with this kind of information in order to recover my old user and check the milestones hit in the previous projects and also crunch again? If you have any other guidelines for this situation or this question has been posted in the past, please feel free to refer any kind of intel.

Thank you very much and happy crunching everybody

I know that this year they made it that rather than signing in with your user name, you had to use the email address that you registered with?? Have you been able to try that??

Yes I did, trying multiple e-mail/password combinations that I may have used, but no luck at all

Thing that I find odd is if you try to access my WCG member page says it's not found, maybe they deleted me for inactivity? IDK

 

[phill]

Did you have much time under your user account? I suppose you could always sign up again if you really wanted to? Does the forgot password option help at all?

I don't think inactivity would mean a deleted account tho...??

I did participate in WCG for TPU about 10 years ago and my account was gone along with any points/work I had completed.

@jellyrole what was the name of the account? I didn't think they get deleted??

jellyrole - I couldn't find any stats anywhere.

 

[phill]

I started somewhere in 2018 and I couldn't see anything with your name on there

Is it possible you could have missed the cut off for logging in or anything?

 

[jellyrole]

No, i remember checking the pie thread regularly and I found a couple posts but all the images have been deleted.

I found the old you in Free-DC. https://stats.free-dc.org/user/bwcg/stats.php?page=userbycpid&cpid=60e86c4f4f3f930e1bf29123ef7f414d
It isn’t the first time that takes time for a name to pop up. Can you see you progress in https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/...-1&projectId=-1&sortBy=returnedTime&pageNum=1 or in the frontpage for worldcommunitygrid.org after login?

Nice one there @mstenholm !! Not been near to a PC to really have a look but judging from our current and retired members, I wonder if @jellyrole would have gone to one of the 'anonymous'... I wonder if that update had anything to do with it with the log in way changing over to email rather than username??

I received an email from WCG a while back stating the account will be removed if it remains innactive, just a heads up for those having issues finding old accounts.

That would more than likely explain why we have a few Anonymous members I'm guessing

A local power outage in my neighborhood for ~60 hours due to tropical storm Zeta passing over the greater metro Atlanta area this past Thursday. I'm back up and running again.

Glad everything is back up for you. I got hit as well, luckily didn't have any power issues, but I did have some coworkers up near Raleigh that lost power for the day.

 

[mstenholm]

I was wondering why I got blueberry pie . Weather is not always good with us, glad that you are back, I can imaging that it wasn't only your PCs that went quiet.

Edit: correction I just noticed it was lime pie. Didn't taste that for years. Anyway claim your pie and I take what I can.

 

[phill]

Amazing effort and work guys, such support from you is amazing

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Main rig's developed an issue , I'll be back asap.

Damnit I was already upto my eyeballs in pc part's to fix.

 

[phill]

I hope it's a nice and simple fix @theoneandonlymrk !!

I'm struggling with the juice, either a blockage or air lock is stopping flow even After a stripdown test each part rebuild arghh , I'll be spending some time this eve to hopefully resolve the issue , hopefully with no loss of part's through foot through them syndrome but we'll see.

I also fd up with new pipe choice, who makes thin walled shitty clear pipe , I hate them.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

Ok so back in the game, my ek full cover monoblock got bunged up somehow, taking that apart I am amazed at it's built quality ,that things a lifer they actually use a cooling plate off their best CPU cooler attached to a base plate, I expected a big lump of metal, not so, many pieces, lost a sodding 1mmx10mm rubber seal n had to improv that shiz but it's holding up no leaks no blockage flat out crunching capable again yay, I have lost 90% of functional RGB for some reason so I've still something to do but I care less about that.
Damn icue won't see my Corsair commander.

 

[PolRoger]

A new addition to my #1 water cooled main/rig... The previous chip will transistion to another setup. I'll probably take off line (and retire) something getting older and less efficient towards accumulating daily credit/points.

 

[phill]

That's just awesome right there I can't wait to get one or two

So PolRoger is first with an amd flagship this time around Congrats, put her to some good use!

Talking about that, my 3950x doing well with daily gaming and nightly crunching.
My fans are not! I use 7x fractal prisma for that nice bling. One of them is already packed with dust, 4 of them are visually slowing down bcoz of dust. (I dust my rig weekly, mind you)
I might need to exchange fans, for this kinda build.
Should I give up on looks and go noctuas af12?
or are there some rgb fans that allow cleaning?
I still got 3 unused EK vardars I got with my custom water set too...
