Challenge to TCol. and LBM

[ex2cib]

Thursday, lets see which sub-team can produce the most, NO buffering, dump whatever you have buffered on wednesday and start from scratch thursday. and this will go for all of us, no new mergers on thursday, since that screws up stats. The winner can get some kind of prize, recognition, or something.

im up for suggestions on that.

we are going all out on that day without buffering, so be ready for it. i could say what i think our totals might be around, but that wouldn't be any fun. :D

If you want to accept the challenge, then post back. either way, we are going all out thursday.

[shmaa]

you should be going all out every day....

LBM isn't a "sub team". All of our computers are under the same roof, so it seemed redundant to have to have 2 seperate names.

It's pretty well known what we are gonna do... same thing we do everyday... somewhere between 2100 - 2300.

[ex2cib]

well, some of the guys on our team dont run theirs @ night, or buffer a little, so im just saying thursday lets see who can do the most

[Vapor]

We're doing some special buffering for Wednesday, which will effect both Tuesday and Wednesday....plus we may add members between now and then. Some of us are also making sure our hardware is at it's max and are testing newer settings....that's why we're not going all out production right now.

And as ex2cib said, not all of us run it overnight.

[shmaa]

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the... what? 7 or 8+ of you with your 55 nodes can out crunch the duo that is LBM. :kitten: :lol: :fight:

Only 9 of our 23 nodes actually produce anymore. :(

[Vapor]

There would be 9 of us right now :D

Yeah, we're working on getting our output up but a lot of our nodes are much slower systems or simply not running any more. Mind you, we're college students, we don't have dedicated DX crunchers, just what systems (no matter how good or bad they are) we have access to. Anyway, we'll see Thursday which team is best :D

Cheers.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I think I brought at least 15 nodes, maybe 20, but only 6 or 7 of them are producing. I never backed up my node.php, so whenever I would reinstall it, I would get a new node.

[Absolute_0]

I also brought a dead node + my active 2.

Ok we change the name to Team LBM and we got 476,000 we win!

[perkam]

Intriguing...we'll start making proper preparations ;)

Perkam

[ex2cib]

just remember, no buffering

[UCmajewski]

Yeah but one of those 9 nodes produces well over a thousand :) I think we need on more of those if you know what I mean.

[rogueagent6]

I joined with 5 nodes, four are dead as they have all been converted to the same node... Hopefully at the beginning of next year an Athlon X2 system will be added :D

[mad mikee]

I wonder what I can throw together quickfor Thursday,etc indabasement :idea: :comp10: :weapon:

[ex2cib]

and to anyone else that wants to join the competition, feel free to.

btw, nice tag mikee.."resistence is futile."

Bumped the fsb on the Wife's :nono: allmost got caught :)

Bumped the fsb on the Wife's :nono: allmost got caught :)


:rofl: :lol: :up:

My girlfriend was like... "Is there anyway you can make my computer a little faster?".... */me*looks at twin sticks of mushkin BH-5 and AXP Mobile...* .... yes hun, I think there is... :D :D

Needless to say.. she is crunching and doesn't even know it... (it's my computer though! lol)

[ex2cib]

dont forget guys, tomorrow is thursday, lets see who can get the biggest piece of pie

[shmaa]

So how do we know what you guys do tomorrow is actually your daily output? I've never seen what you guys do without someone joining... I say do it tomorrow.. then you have to back it up Friday.

[Absolute_0]

tomorrow we will be producing normally, no one joining, no buffers, thursday should be 100% capacity

[shmaa]

Ok... if that is so.. then back it up Friday.

[bullet2urbrain]

fair enough.. whats our margin of error shmaa?

within how many cands each day to we have to be for the LBM to consider it legit.

[shmaa]

+/- 300 cans

[ex2cib]

after we get done doing this, we could actually list all our rigs, and figure out how much crunching power we have.

[bullet2urbrain]

i'd rather not.. list what power we have.. cuz there are some X Factors in this.

+/- 300 shouldnt be too tough..granted among 10 people thats only 30 cand difference..

[mad mikee]

Anyone check out the top of the front page news :fight: :D
Thanks for getting the crowds waiting w/ baited breath for the beginning of the challenge! :cheer: :cheer2: :YIPPIE:

Until the morrow :yawn2: nite!

[bullet2urbrain]

indeed until tomorrow night.. we shall see.. anywho.. we're within 2 hrs to till the start. im going to have to close EVERYTHING and let d2ol take over. or give 1.7vcore @ 2860

but i think we should be fair in this and not go OC'ing everything we got.

[Absolute_0]

everything is already OCed pretty far :)

[bullet2urbrain]

we'll see. its lookin to be a good competition.. hopefully the front page news gets us some attention.. (thanks perkam) 13 days till XSCM breaks into the top 100..

[ex2cib]

well guys, you got about 10 minutes till this thing starts. so get ready to crunch.

good luck LBM, good luck Collective. periodic updates put in the thread would be nice if anyone wants to (hourly or so)

[shmaa]

You guys have amassed quite an army...

58 nodes for CM and 34 nodes for XSTC

How many actual people are on each team?

LBM = 2

[ex2cib]

CM =10 members

[ex2cib]

UPDATE ONE - 12:05 AM CST - Free-DC stats
Ranking/Total cands | last update | Change(ranking)
1. LBM-137....................+137..................n/a
2. XSCM-100.................+100..................n/a
3. XSTCol-15..................+15...................n/a

LBM is off to an early start, but can they hold on to their lead over the XSCM? XSTCol will likely make a statement in a few hours.
__________________________________________________ _____________
ill update it again in one hour(1am) If anyone is up later than that, please update it hourly, as i want to go to sleep :). you can use my same format.

i mean i would REALLY like to have someone update this hourly. I dont care if it is someone who's not a member of the team, just go check the Free-dc stats and at least post the current totals of the teams and the time you checked the stats (put time zone in please). im going to make a few graphs later for comparisons.

Normal post-midnight updates... I got a few stray machines that need to be sync'd back for the 11:30pm deadline... o well.


you can go ahead and put 2200 (+/- 50) next to our daily totals... no big surprises from us lol :stick:

[perkam]

I'm hoping the frontpage helps out too, if only to bring more members to the xs team.

i think he was talking about dont overclock the rigs more just for one night. run them like you always run them

UPDATE, 10:04 CST

CM & Tcol=1105
LBM=1030

this is looking to be a good competition, right now it looks like we all with break 2k for the day.

[Vapor]

And to think I haven't even been contributing....

Still figuring out my Windows problem and doing anything I can to avoid a reformat (can't repair).

[ex2cib]

seriously
?

how long has your rig been out of it vapor?

[Vapor]

Since 3AM CST or so....trying a 0% OC right now and it's still unstable.

Windows stays up long enough to do .5-1 cand and then crashes....then when I restart it uploads that one cand but I've done next to nothing so far....it's a shame.

[[KoG]^weaZel]

it sounds like the install got borked because of an unstable OC. I had to do a reinstall yesterday on my 840 because the d2ol was borked.
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. We may have to run this challenge again when everyone is firing on all eight cylinders. :D

[shmaa]

So how exactly do your sub teams work? Does everyone have the password to the D2OL account?

Call me paranoid, but I personally would not give the password to 480,000 cands to someone I don't know :eek:

Too much time, money, and effort at stake. :(

[mad mikee]

You can always get them back :D
And like the quote implies, I'm actually not in it for the fame or fortune.
My involvement is just part of the larger plan...
(Heck never thought I would be coordinating 'TheCollective', it just happened and I got assimilated myself :doh: )

[WesM63]

Heh.. We should do this again, i'm at like 27% of my total strength. Even then we're not doing to bad..



awaits his new work computer.. mmm 3.4ghz P4

[Vapor]

^weaZel']it sounds like the install got borked because of an unstable OC. I had to do a reinstall yesterday on my 840 because the d2ol was borked.
Sorry to hear that you are having trouble. We may have to run this challenge again when everyone is firing on all eight cylinders. :DYeah, it's borked from my Opteron OCing....I knew it was going down the tubes I just didn't think it would hit THIS fast....

Just backing stuff up in the 3 minute minute chunks that Windows gives me now...then I'm gonna reinstall and see what I can produce in 1.5 days (well, I'll probably buffer for the last part of tomorrow to avoid going over by more than 300).

Oh, and I don't think we'll need to run the challenge again ;)

[WesM63]

Oh, and I don't think we'll need to run the challenge again ;)

Scared? ;)

[Vapor]

Quite the contrary....I have a feeling that even without my 300/day we should be fine :hehe:

[perkam]

Scared?

Yup thats with you at 27% and without all of Weazel's DX rigs ;) :D

Its still VERY close though, at 12:15 PM EST, The Collective and Mafia are tied at 1015 :eek: Odds of exact same score --> very rare...And LBM only above by 15 cands...We're comin for ya :D

Perkam

[Vapor]

Heh....we've done enough this hour to take the lead back and this isn't one of our power hours (where a good chunk of the team uploads).

[bullet2urbrain]

this is turning out to be better than expected.... awesome work guys.. hopefully we see 45k today. :D

[[XC] DragonOrta]

yeah, my a64 rig didn't get started till about 3 am, it was just sitting there, doing nothing. Everythime I see a computer sitting there, doing nothing, I cry. they have so much potential. and then I think it's time to look for some kneecaps. ;)

[Vapor]

Does installing Windows count as something? I should get started in a few minutes....just finished backing up ObjectDock, Trillian and game settings (with about 13 reboots....between :rolleyes: ).

[[KoG]^weaZel]

Perkam is right. I should have another 4 DXs coming online in the next week or two. And also am down a few other machines due to network trouble. But even as it is I should have another 700-800 cands for today (as of 10:00 am MST) This is being way closer than I had thought. A very good showing for XS! :woot: :toast:

[shmaa]

Quite the contrary....I have a feeling that even without my 300/day we should be fine :hehe:


Considering the amount of people on your team, I would hope so. :stick:


The challenge should be every day. If you guys can truely output the number of cans you do today, then you should have no problem repeating it day after day. Maybe that's just me :shrug:

[[KoG]^weaZel]

^^^^ Very true, for me it should be easily done with the coming hardware.

[mad mikee]

To get the joined but disinterested - REINVESTED in the cause(s):

1. Maybe do something that will ultimately save someone (maybe one of us someday :shrug: )

2. Tenderize :slapass: :hammer: us some :cow: meat!!!! :woot:

So WE WILL HAVE MORE OF THESE CHALLENGES (and even MORE media support, etc (Perkam and especially Fugger ?))
So that we can get the torpid masses EXCITED and CRUNCHING AGAIN!

[ex2cib]

we know it should be everyday, but sometimes i like to give my rig a break, let it cool down a little,lol. also cool down my room some, and not have to worry about those bright blue case lights for a night of good sleep. But also having a challenge like this, is good publicity for the team, im sure we have had at least a few people come in and read about our team from Perkam's link on the front page.

this is looking good so far for all teams. my auto update is coming within 30 minutes. when this thing first began, i had the SARS IV candidate....it took that thing about 40 minutes to finish....thats the longest i have ever spent on a candidate that i know of.

and to shmaa, we might have to remove that +/- 300 thing or say you have to be no less than 300 away from your thursday's total on friday. If vapor gets his X2 back up and running, that's 300 right there. :)

[mad mikee]

I have 1 tiny blue case lite and one red HD lite on teh front of the cases (PC-V1/2000) and my stuff is relatively quiet (no sleeping issues) for Just that reason. Didn't try too hard for quiet indabasement (I'm not there :wasntme: )

I also hate fan controllers for just that reason (danm blue led knobs).

And you guys have hot machines? What, 40-45c :D

Last but not least:
YOU HEARD THE MAFIA, COLLECTIVE - Keep building and upgrade ASAP....
(Why do I see another 3800 in my future (indabsmt) :D Thankgiving sounds good...

[shmaa]

You got what I meant.

[ex2cib]

no, 30C case temps, at least last night, 26C now, so its fine. but i like my room to be cold.

[ex2cib]

You got what I meant.

this is what i was trying to type, but didn't quite word it right.
lets say we get 2000 today, we have to get AT LEAST 1700 tomorrow, but can still go higher than 2300(if you count vapor's X2 and dragon's rig not crunching till 3am). at least give us some more room on the high side

For some reason this sounds like its going to be an expensive holiday season! hhhmmm a couple of X2s sound like it could be fun to build. A 4800+ could run a PVR nicely couldn't it? :D

[shmaa]

Glad you guys decided to do this right now. LBM production will drop off some this coming week because we are moving... The crunchers will be the last to go and I will try to move them as quickly as possible.

[mad mikee]

Indabsmt was @ 36-37c under load last I looked :D

[ex2cib]

Indabsmt was @ 36-37c under load last I looked :D

wow, thats a little on the high side. its a good thing that chip is naked with the Big Typhoon, or i think the CPU temps would be getting a little too warm

[[KoG]^weaZel]

I think I might have to look for a house with a basement. Right now we live in a 2 story house with five of the computers in the upstairs loft area (four gaming stations and a PVR). And the DX rigs are going to go in the Tech Room (Den) downstairs. So we should have even heating for the coming cool months. :D

[mad mikee]

wow, thats a little on the high side. its a good thing that chip is naked with the Big Typhoon, or i think the CPU temps would be getting a little too warm

Hyper6 + silentcat 80mm for cooling @ load for 1m Cache @ 2800 Mhz / 1.5Vcore is NOT hot (running d2ol when measured)

[shmaa]

Our A64's are running 48 - 50C under load :shrug:

[Absolute_0]

My X2 at 2.86 Ghz 1.60 volts never breaks 38C

[[KoG]^weaZel]

just for a comparison purpose my 840EE is at 52-54c under D2OL. I do have to say this is the hottest running cpu of my herd. One thing to note is that just two of the three fans on the radiator are running. Just noticed this yesterday when doing some work on the machine.

SO for Mikee to be running in the 30s is great.

[Absolute_0]

With good watercooling i find the fans on teh radiator don't make a huge difference. I run 24/7 with the fans at ~30%. I can completely unplug a fan and my temps don't change more than 1 degree. But Weazel, i think 53C load is pretty good for a P4 at 3.7 Ghz, i have worked with a pressy and know that they run hot, but they can also take the heat better than AMDs can i think.

[heater918]

Just able to join in on the fun @13:56 and were all within 50 pts. I would have never thought it would be so tight. Good going The_Collective & all other teammates :clap: Looks like this is turning out to be a great day for XS D2OL and that is what we all ultimatly want :fact: :woot: :toast:

We are the The Collective. Resistance as you know it is over.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I just got some AS5 in the mail about an hour ago. I put it on, and since I've taken off the IHS, but the xp-90 didn't make contact, because the socket is in the way, I put the IHS back on, but I wasn't sure it was making good contact, so I put some more AS5 on the core. Now my a64 rig won't start. spinning fans for a second, but it won't start. :(

yeah, it's on the fx-53. Luckily I don't have time to think about it too much. I still have two mid-terms left today. I've already taken one.

[ex2cib]

have you tried removing all the AS5 and then reapplying a VERY small amount on it? it may have gotten on something on the top of the processor and is affecting normal operation. clean it and try again

[[XC] DragonOrta]

well, I did a real quick clean, and it still doesn't boot. I'll try it again later tonight. I've got a world lit mid-term in 30 minutes, so I'm going to do some last minute studying for that.

[mad mikee]

That way hopefully you make enough money later for new and better toys :D Heck even car races have their ups and downs.

wow I have a 2,000 buffered machine I could drop at any time :) ..... I dont think we should be counted as a subteam anyhow. Only 2 members .... maybe 3 so we are an awful little sub team. If we could get some new recruits ..... we'd be a sub team. We just would want to stick with the name.

After all the real LBM would say: "I have been a local business man here for 27 years" - LBM

I know. It's retarded. I had two today too. Its like the colleges knew we were having this today :p:

Hmmm...this could indeed go down to the wire. ;)

Perkam

[bullet2urbrain]

or i can start dropping my buffered machines too :D

and the rest of our buffered machines... this is ridiculous guys.. im loving this.. now that the mergers have settled down.. were seeing where our subteam production is at..

and yeah i had 7hrs of classes today.. so my machine is doing almost 24/7 duty for now.

[UCmajewski]

not today :nono:

I could drop one almost everyday this month... so to be quite honest that would be our daily for the rest of the month! How do u think we got to almost 500K ?

The rules said no dumping! That would be unfair! Dump it tomorrow

So u guys think you know what we can do per day and we cant go over that? I didnt even know any of this was going on till I saw it all the front page! I dont understand ..... if we do over our usual we are dropping buffers?

[ex2cib]

I know. It's retarded. I had two today too. Its like the colleges knew we were having this today :p:

Now to reinstall applications I actually use....

[[KoG]^weaZel]

I have noticed with my Ballistix that I have had to raise the voltage on it a couple of times to run at the low timings.

[Vapor]

These are DEAD....crazy memtest errors in every test other than 1,2,3,and 5 (BSODing installing Windows) at 150 3-3-3-10 any voltage. This is the second set I've had die on me....anyway, I'm back up and crunching (I'm still not OC'd yet though).

edit:thank god vapor got his X2 back again, now get that thing OC'd and maybe you can still give us an extra 60 at the end of the day :)

[[XC] DragonOrta]

w00t, we're in the lead again! Eat that Collective! :slapass: lol. This sure is alot of fun.

[Vapor]

I tried a regular CMOS clear, and it's still the same. I don't think the cpu died, because when my venice died, nothing would happen at all.Kinda sounds like you're shorted out somewhere if it just starts to spin up and then dies.

And 60 in 7hrs? Pffff, childs play (unless I get smallpox cands over and over :rolleyes: ). I'll see what I can crank out....I'll also have some significantly tighter timings now with only 2 DIMMs (and they're very good TCCD too).

[ex2cib]

no, 60 in 5 hours if you want to upload them on TODAY's stats....which is what we need

[Vapor]

I can upload at 11:50PM CST....that's in over 6 hours :stick:

EDIT: oh wait.....10:50, you're right

[UCmajewski]

wow its safe to say that both "the mafia" and "the Collective" could both be top 10 teams . I want to make something clear ......LBM is not a sub team as of the moment. 2 people 1 apartment and whole lot of damn computers. Hardly a sub team .... I would like to state we would like to removed from this challenge cause it hardly seems fair ..... more like renaming new sub teams challenge top team members .... such as us, conrad, windforce, jikdoc, big deel, rod and the almighty DDtung. I dont understand why we got the sub team label ? I did do some joking around about it, but as of now we just got me and shmaa. Recently we added a friend to the team, but he isnt active on the forum. So I guess we are a future sub team in the making with a rather large start. I think we are 23rd in the world ....... we definately want to be higher.

[ex2cib]

ok, we'll remove you, back down to us and the Collective, unless anyone else out there wants in, tell shmaa he can dump those buffered cands now i guess, unless anyone else has a problem with it, its been fun so far today, its been close just about all day.

[[KoG]^weaZel]

it has been very fun watching the stats hour by hour. Checking to see if anyone has pulled ahead.
More fire power is on the way. Three shiny new motherboards arrived today. :woot:

[perkam]

I dont understand why we got the sub team label ?
Intriguing time to make that announcement, but we all stated this is in good fun anyway ;) So no problems :up:

I was hoping you guys had a few more cards under the table...:confused: , I thought it was expected even. Oh well, everyone cant be 100% at a moments notice, that's understandable :)

Ofcourse, the urge is there to say "BOW DOWN TO THE MIGHTY..." lol j/k

Perkam

[Vapor]

TC has taken a damn big lead early in the hour....jeeze. Oh well, next hour is a power hour for us.

[perkam]

150 3-3-3-10

LMAO...srry I just saw that :rofl: Hope you got it back tho :)

Perkam

[Vapor]

LOL....yeah, I dropped everything as low as it's ever run (yes, I've run them at 150MHz and 3-3-3-10 at 290MHz) to test for errors......I'm not gonna retry them until next week. Fortunately I have good TCCD and UTT as 'backups' :D

The error patterns were what were concerning me that maybe it's not the memory but rather the board--no errors in tests 1-3, 5 at any previously stable speed and errors in 4, 6+ didn't get worse with more speed. I'm busy this weekend but I'll definitely play with it next week maybe I'll "have to" order a CF-DR :D

[[XC] Duc]

I'm considering changing my name by the end of the year, to counter The Collective... (I should have two extra DX rigs running by then, one is almost ready now ;) )

Species 8472... "The Weak Will Perish !" :D

Species 8472 were discovered by the Borg—who were unable to assimilate them—in 2373. This was because the species had the capability of repelling anything in their bodies that was foreign to their cells. This invasion of their realm provoked a war, the first real threat the Borg had faced in thousands of years, wiping out trillions of drones.

[Vapor]

How about calling yourself whatever network Star Trek used to be on....they're the ones who really killed it :D

[Entity_Razer]

DUc, your always welcome in the Saluads team :)

We are looking for membes to counter this Sub Team thingymagic going on between The collective and the Mafia

[bullet2urbrain]

you know i almost feel bad coming forward to some other people and forming these subteams... it seems like its been great for some morale but others are less "thrilled" about it... i really just wanted to get a team together that can counter DPC's big 5.. they all buffer we do daily.. i think that was my main purpose.. and i like the look of front page pie..

LBM - Please accept this apology as a token of my esteem. I didnt mean to refer to you as a subteam if i ever did.

[ex2cib]

i thought the 8pm update is "power hour" , at least i thought it was the same time i had my dump

[UCmajewski]

ok, we'll remove you, back down to us and the Collective, unless anyone else out there wants in, tell shmaa he can dump those buffered cands now i guess, unless anyone else has a problem with it, its been fun so far today, its been close just about all day.

tell shmaa? They are mine and I decide when to dump them :fact: Dont really care .... we got a massive dump coming when 18 p4's decide to show up. We still might get this ...... but the issue with you guys is track record. Me and shmaa have been doing near 2,000 a day since march. How long can you guys go? I just dont get why dumps arent allowed ? We have no idea how many per day the collective or the mafia does cause they are new teams..... heck for all we know you could be dumping in today! this was a little pre mature in my opinion ..... challenge us back in a week. In that time we will be an actual sub team ! Our daily is 2.2 K and we started in march .... 4th on the team .... 23rd in the world. Anyone willing to help us out is more than welcome to join!

[ex2cib]

7pm CST update

TCol-2080,91
CM-2008,82

both have broken 2000 today

my question to the collective...can you hold that lead on the next update? which is "power hour" as Vapor put it???

ill be taking a test then, but we should have good output then

[bullet2urbrain]

too good to accept my apology?? all righty... i see how things are ... me and my friend the crowbar can make the 2.5hr drive to Cincinatti if we need to :D j/k

i dont really see how you can expect a team that is a week old to have a track record (or perhaps thats what your getting at) we're testing each other to see where we can get to..



Update

[Vapor]

I say if we're gonna redo it....let's do it over a week and have the margin of error be within 10% of the previous week.

And in other news....I have a motherboard problem and my Ballistix are fine (thought the error pattern in memtest was weird). Same exact address is failing on my TCCD and my board still likes to randomly switch from the 10x to the 11x multi....

Anyway, TC and CM will continue on battling tonight and tomorrow, should be fun.

EDIT: and for those interested....we've already regained the lead :hehe:

[Vapor]

Alright, slightly different topic now....does anybody know how to schedule an upload? I wanna go to sleep now but I also want to make sure I get my cands in today.

I suppose I could tell my computer to restart 5 minutes before I want them uploaded....but that wouldn't be ideal.

[mad mikee]

I know how to immedately force a flush (usually) , but not how to schedule w/ any accuracy. The is a file you can adjust to be less than the 360 min (6hr) limit, but that is still dependent on when a cand. is done for the flush to start, and that can be a big window....

[mad mikee]

Are teh sincerest forms of flattery for which we TheCollective thank you. We would be proud to add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. You could become one with The Collective. :D

nice hour guys @ TColl.

[shmaa]

Intriguing time to make that announcement

First reply to the thread.

LBM isn't a "sub team". All of our computers are under the same roof, so it seemed redundant to have to have 2 seperate names.

Sometimes I feel like no one even reads what I post.

But whatever. I was dicussing the thread with my roommmate (UCmajewski if that isn't clear yet) and we were both lost trying to figure out where the whole subteam title came from. We were just 2 people living in the same place acting effectively as 1 person (some of the rigs are built from parts owned by both of us, mixed together for the cause)

[[KoG]^weaZel]

Tcoll: 2447
Xscm: 2253

[[KoG]^weaZel]

Shmaa I think the reason why the sub-team came up was that there is more than one XS member which speaks for LBM. So it would be easy to see that if more than one person speaks for a D2OL member name it could be misconstrued. Well that is my take on it at least.

[mad mikee]

Before I stay up late one more night, we're still Doing this right?
Just want to make sure :D

And Tomorrow I will put out any possible good news(not over yet here) and call for vote of confidence in 'Mikutus', since I hopefully haven't put off everyone w/ any idealistic rants on teh :soap: So let me know and XSTC, you can tell me what you think anytime.

Dang too bad InSanCen is on Vac. he missed some interesting stuff here :D

Thanks to all MikeE

[heater918]

I'm still up, first cool night in awhile. And we are ahead :woot:

well, it is about 20 minutes before its over, but i dont think the CM has a chance at catching you tonight. we have had too much trouble today with stuff going down. maybe tomorrow we will get you. I guess wes was a good addition to your team XSTC, because a few days ago i didnt think you would put up this much of a fight. maybe tomorrow we will do better.

good shootout though, and we both broke over 2k, which isn't bad.

[heater918]

That's what i was thinking :)

[mad mikee]

You know who you are and what you did, and in spite of the sideshows, I have had more fun w/ this than I have in a long time. The fat lady hasn't done her soprano yet, so As [Kog.. Said somewhere else,what we really did :D (http://app.d2ol.com/stats/topMembers.jsp?t=yesterday)

We really do have to have more of these and eventually make them a week or so to prove that this is REAL (at least to the rest of the world :D )

@ Dragon: Is the FX OK I hope?

I sorta got assimilated by my own idea here w/ TheCollective, but it is fun.
I don't have any ego about this and was hoping to at least not get wiped out by too many surprises so to XSTC: GOOD WORK.

I'm not going to suddenly turn this off now. My thought on a good OC is it's not so much of an OC as running the machine @ it's proper potential :D

Besides as Rod said winter is coming :hrhr:

And always remember that the real winner in this is of course XS :woot:

/Edit just double checked the link and XSTC > ConMan :D

[ex2cib]

well,that does it, you guys piled it on at the end. i uploaded my measly 22 or so candidates in the last hour. we will have to do this again sometime...after the CM finds a few more people to help our cause ;) .

in estimation, we had about 8ghz of a64 power that wasn't running full time today, while that may have not been enough to win, it would have made it a lot closer, not 2 mention bullet's p4's

i think we are going to do another day of 24/7 crunching tomorrow. i always do anyways. good job to all, both of us combined for about 5000 cands today.

[shmaa]

Good job guys.... now back it up tomorrow.

[ex2cib]

im planning on it, and hopefully we will have more tomorrow than we had today

[mad mikee]

We start all over again from 0 every day, SO WE CAN TRY AGAIN :woot:
:toast:

[perkam]

i think we are going to do another day of 24/7 crunching tomorrow.
Uhhh...lets do ask everyone before starting a new competition all by yourselves.I have couple of Midterms tomorrow and cant manage today's feat as easily ;)

Perhaps sometime next week Wednesday or something...but yea everyone's a little tired out with the run. Almost Twice our previous daily output took quite a bit of preparation and getting members organized...which reminds me: AMAZING job gentlemen of the Collective, now I'm going to bed, after turning off all my systems so that the power bill doesn't come up in any Nightmares :p:

Perkam

[[KoG]^weaZel]

don't worry my output will be there tomorrow as well.

[ex2cib]

we are doing it again to prove we didn't just dump buffers all day, because had we done that, we wouldve have been much higher. i guess we'll just have to wait until the merging levels out, and we actually see true 7 day stats, but i do think we can do at least 2k tomorrow, and every day for that matter.

not 2 mention, the day before, if you would have subtracted that 1 merge we had, bullet and vapor emptied their stocks for vapor's birthday, and we ended up with about 4k-5k w/out the merge

[Vapor]

Way to go guys....wow, you really did turn it up at the end Weazel, jeeze :D

More importantly, we should scroll down and look at another statitistic....team total for the day--just over 40.5k and it's gone up each of the last couple of days. Let's see if we can get it high again tomorrow :banana:

[shmaa]

I think both of your next goals should be to score more members like weazel.. memebers from other teams.. not ones already with XS (that doesn't help the team daily) :toast:

[perkam]

I think both of your next goals should be to score more members like weazel Weazel wasn't a "score" by any means. He is an active and enthusiastic member who's output rivals that of entire teams, but he joined the collective to support the greater cause and to do his role in boosting morale here in the d2ol section.

The potential of The Collective grows every day, Weazel is one part of that team :), and therefore one aspect of that potential. The team is nothing without all of its facets, hence no one is more important than the other. Same can be said about the XS Team. ;)

Perkam

[bullet2urbrain]

Yeah guys great job today.. im really proud to see that the 2 teams were truly fighting till the bitter end.. i guess we just didnt have enough firepower..

granted i could dump 1k today if i needed to :D but thats not fair.

i always crunch 24/7 i use my rig like i need to but the majority of the time im @ class. and that idle time goes directly to d2ol.

I think we all really need to remember that XS D2ol is the winner here.. great job again guys.

lets shoot for 41k tomorrow

:up:

Awesome.

PS: bachus/conrad.. i fully support what you have done. i think its the right move and couldnt agree more with the "everyone on the front page should be active statement"

[conrad.maranan]

PS: bachus/conrad.. i fully support what you have done. i think its the right move and couldnt agree more with the "everyone on the front page should be active statement"
If anyone is making the right move, it's XSCM and XSTC. You guys are turning it up a notch and have inspired me to look elsewhere for recruits. I have one PM that I just received from another forum I frequent. I'm getting ready to leave the office now so I'll answer his questions when I get home.

I'm hoping that the next division I get transfered to allows me to install D2OL on all the systems. That would be the sweetest icing on our cake. I'm also hoping that their network isn't nazi'd so I can do something about DIMES as well.
:woot:

[shmaa]

Weazel wasn't a "score" by any means. He is an active and enthusiastic member who's output rivals that of entire teams, but he joined the collective to support the greater cause and to do his role in boosting morale here in the d2ol section.


Figure of speech.. I didn't mean it like he was a prize. It was just very cool that he came over to XS from another team... bringing with him a good amount of total cans and a very nice daily output. You guys need to focus on finding more people like him... from other teams. :)

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I took everything out of the case, to see if one of the standoffs was shorting the mobo out, but it still acted the same way. Do you think it would do that if I got some AS5 on one of the packs? Either that, or hitting the top of one of the DIMM slots with a screwdriver, only put a tiny ding in it. I switched out RAM to the other channel, so I don't think it's the DIMM slot. I'm going to try to find another person around that might have an a64 rig. almost everyone that I know has a Dell. :shakes: Maybe I'll have to see if they are interested in d2oling. I think I'm going to let one of my friends borrow my 6800GT while my rig is down, cause he's interested in buying one. Maybe I'll have to load d2ol up while I'm loading drivers and everything. :D

[mad mikee]

Xcept for the trials of Dragon's FX :( (stupid question, can you get a cheap A64 and try it in the board? )

One core of my machine keeps stopping D2OL so I am going to try to nail that down over the weekend.

I don't care where we get cands from: here, somewhere else, etc.

Conrad - COOL avatar :up:
I have been asking people @ work w/ tepid results, and so am impressed about the fact that Conrad has someone possibly lined up already.

I still think some of us should try to get some of the 'dead' nodes reproducing (Heck we got so many of them). This should be of course just one of many directions we need to go. There's enough of us to do that and see who we can drag in from wherever :D.

I also think we can use more of these 'challenges' to drum up cands, and am for more of them :up:. (Heck I didn't care where we ended up, the fun was in the banter & Playup b4hand :D )

Perkam does great as morale booster, newman and marketing dept. doesn't he! :D I'm glad he's on our (XS/TheCollective(Dang that would have been an even better name (wonders about will the '/' be legal char, will the guys go for it (NEVER MIND!))))

I've rambled enough, back to work and though the PCs hopefully never tire, I for one am looking forward to a good nite's sleep whilst cuddling next to my wife :buddies:

[WesM63]

Good work guys! Both teams put up a hella fight, we need to keep it up.

[Vapor]

I wish I could....my board is dead :(

I can't replace it for about a week either...we'll see how much I can get done this week (I'm hoping for 300/week from my X2 at this point) with low uptimes.

Anyway, it was a good fight, glad I could at least throw a punch at the end :D

[mad mikee]

Don't you mean every couple of days :eh:, them's is GOOD CHIPS

When the board was good (two days ago), it would do around 305 a day with moderate usage.

I'd love to get a cheap a64, but I've only got $50 in the bank. Not much to work with. :(

If you get another $50 plus shipping from Cincinnati to Lancaster... I know a really cool guy that wants to sell a S939 3000+ :D

[[XC] DragonOrta]

Actually, lancaster is where my parents live, I'm going to school in Marion, Indiana. Do you think he would accept $50 and 2x256 Corsair old bh-5? It did 250+ 2-2-2-5 at 3.3v for MrNuke.

That cool guy happens to be me :cool:

I would need cash only as I would need to replace the chip. I am in no hurry, and if you think you can come up with the money at any point in time then you officially have dibs on the chip.

If you want to work out anything further we should probably take it to PM so no one says I'm selling outside the for sale forum... which I can post it up in there... DO can call dibs.. and we are back to where we started ;)

[[XC] DragonOrta]

I'll have to see if I can get my parents to send me $50, as I don't have time to have a job, being a nursing major and all. I'll get back to you on your generous offer.

[shmaa]

btw, it is an E3 venice... but it is not a very good overclocker. I run D2OL on it at 2.5ghz @ 1.55V.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

ok, Bullet is going to send me a cpu until I get everything figured out. If my fx has left us, then I'll take you up on you venice.

I'd love to get a cheap a64, but I've only got $50 in the bank. Not much to work with. :(

But are you reading them (pm) ?

I'm off grocery shopping, will look when I get back (tonight even :D )
