Well, I finally got the new quad together. The Asus Arctic Square was a shade too tall to put the case cover back on, but it's on a high shelf and probably gets better ventilation anyway.
I tried about a dozen times to install - 1. kubuntu em64t, 2. ubuntu em64t 3. ubuntu x86 - all ver. 7.10. In each case, towards the end of the install i would get some artifacts on the screen (lines of hash marked rectangles), then I would see a blank desktop for about a second and then the display reported "no signal". So finally I had to abandon installing it and go back to XP. Maybe I'll give version hardy heron (???) a try.
Anyway, it is now crunching. Mildly overclocked to about 2.9ghz. Will let it settle in for a few day and get it up to at least 3.4. Until then, might add about 12-13k pts to the totals. However got the other quad up to 3.6ghz so that will help too. It's a little strange because that one had been at 60c degrees running at 3.4ghz, but I guess the paste must have settled in or something since I was able to bumpt it another .2 with no prob - just raised vcore (1.3????).
Noticed your comment highlighted above..A little thing that sometimes gets overlooked but what is the air temp "on that high shelf"?Quote:

Just an example: I had the WC clover sitting on top of the air cooled one.
Moved it down just 2 ft onto the table and temps dropped 4C..
I don't like them on the floor as they become dust magnets..
I have a thermometer on the shelf and its about 78F. There's also a fan on the next shelf up - mainly for the 2 DVR's. I had planned to put it about 4 feet lower, but can't do that with the cats around and an open case. Plus I've got 2 120mm Scythe fans in the case.Quote:

Still clueless as to where she's hiding during the day but screw it, she's here and safe, thats all I care about..:D
Very sly - happy to hear that.
All my quads are back online :)
Glad to hear it!:up:Quote:

Heh! Sure enough. By only 5971 points. That is one Core 2 Duo...
Guess I better get busy and put that C2D back together.
I guess with the time change the new time for stats is 5 PM?
Easynews........ 4,148,657
XtremeSystems 4,142,686 :(
Hey Dave, how many points are WUs worth on a Clover rig?
After I saw that miniscule point differential it caused me to check that rig and see if it was holding out on me. It was...

On my old main machine "Zippy", I found these sitting there, ready to report...

And I found a few others, maybe six of 'em, with 2 to 4 WUs ready to report.
OK, my bad. But I was just too damned lazy after working my day off to go around and check all the friggin' rigs. I usually check that Clover rig, though... if I go back that way.
That's ok Scott, tomorrow we will kick the crap out of them!:up:Quote:

If we never catch either we've still made a hell of an accomplishment considering the amount of people we have.
Of course, that "ain't gonna happen".
There will be a day that we surpass Team2ch and then go on to pass Easynews in the totals..
It will happen my friend.
I don't think it, I know it.
It was my fault, i did not come back on time :(
The rash huh? Still giving you problems?Quote:
