The TRUE will beat just about everything. Scythe just came out with a monster-sized cooler called the Orochi. Not sure how it compares.

I have two TRUE coolers matched with Minebea fans in push-pull configuration. The Minebea's are expensive, but they have a life expectancy of around 20 years. My grandchild will inherit the fans. lol

Its hard to look seriously at other sinks after handling a TRUE though... I know I am addicted!

I've been stuck on the Zalman 9700s for my aircooled machines. How does this compare to that?

Regards,

How is the 9700 going temps wise? I've got a 9500, but it isn't really coping with the quad at load. I'd like to stick with Zalmans because I love their design :)

We ARE a team and that should mean helping even if it is one work unit per day. Just my thoughts.

Who is going to go through the 700+ names and see 1. if they have the color to start with and 2. Are active.

If this goes any further I would have to say if a person is a active member of the XS DC community they keep the color. It is for everyone that puts time and money into the XS machine.
On the other hand xxxxxx for WCG should be just that IMO.
Not picking a fight here, Just pointing out. Also every time we start this kind of talk we loose members. History is our best teacher.

I am sorry that I even brought this up, never mind. I was not trying to alienate anyone, I just was hoping that we could do something to get our existing members back in the saddle for XSDC and help the team.

My apologies,

And on another note, have you seen those Irish Ladies, those guys ain't looking for no damn sheep! Those ladies are HOT! :up:

Maybe a contest? I saw one posted here at XS for another forum that was giving away a used Q6600...

I've pondered what we could do to have a contest. Something along the lines of "everyone that submits more than [some nominal number] of work units on any (?) XS DC team is in the running for [some prize]" Or else I note that over at HardOCP they have nominations for the cruncher of the month. I think they give away access to the pay-only subforums over there. Not sure what we'd give away, but I'd pony up a buck or two for a Newegg gift certificate fund.

No No, It is good to think out loud on ways to drum up help. I was not down on that at all just pointing out.

If there was a contest then it would be like giving ddtung the prize because of his 40 quads... am i right.. lol

If everyone that wasn't contributed, did contribute then.. I'm sure it would make a huge difference. xD

If we got everyone thats listed on the team to run just one machine 40 hours a week it would make an immense difference..
hint-hint..

You don't understand. Over break school requires EVERYTHING unplugged :( And I can't run them at home at all because the internet connection sucks (in fact my dad just killed the two F@H clients I did have running there because they were getting in the way).

If I could, I would run them. But it just doesn't look like that's going happen :(

Then you'll just have to run 4 times as hard after the 2 weeks! lol

Only if you awarded entries based on actual output. Instead, make it a min output of, let's say, what my Mom's P4@2.2 produces/month so as to include essentially everyone and then it's a crapshoot ! :)

Well, at the dorms here we're technically not supposed to leave stuff running over breaks, but that didn't stop me from leaving 1 or 2 computers run. Granted I don't think my RAs would've really cared had they noticed/found out (the only problem was over my extension cord last year breaking fire code, our circuit breaker was horrible because 2 1/2 rooms shared it, so I was taking power from out in our foyer). This year I'm in a dorm that's more apartment styled and it doesn't cost money to stay over breaks, so I don't think it really matters.

I got disgusted with Boinc on Ubuntu a few weeks ago (keeps aborting all work units by project) and had to catch on some folding. I put boinc back on today and same thing again aborted by project. Is that 240 daily quota for each machine or the total per user?

Oh I could leave them run but they'd pull the plugs, and with this stupid cisco clean access crap that I have to log in every 24 hours it wouldn't do much good anyway.

Are you running the 64bit version of both Ubuntu and BOINC? If so, have you installed the 32 bit libraries? If you haven't that would explain what you're getting. (do ' sudo apt-get install ia32-libs 'to install them)
Also, have you done anything "personal" with a firewall application? If you've accidentally killed communication between the client and the science applications that would also explain it.

Yes and I have the 32 bit libraries installed. I have been running dual SMP folding which has to have them also. I am not sure what it is, on two machines when I click the update button it will abort all WUs. I just downloaded a new iso and reinstalled from a new disc and got it ready to try when it will give me some more WUs. As far as firewall I have not done anything to Ubuntu, I have a firewall built in my Linksys router...
