both!!!

That reminds me of a video i saw once of a L/C computer ran with beer in the lines. Appearantly it ran cooler than average coolant... I don't remember where i saw it, but i was talking with a friend last nite, and one of us mentioned that the loop needed to include a "human mouthpiece waterblock" hehe

Btw I been working on something to get a run down of your clients performance ( eue wise, not ppd wise ). You can download beta versions off it at www.mtm78.nl/maxfah/eueparser.exe
You need .net2 installed ( which means, windows only I think.. no one treid it on wine yet ). Might change it to a realbasic or purebasic version which can run natively on both platforms. But for now windows only, and it should parse your networked linux clients as well.

It's BETA, meaning there bound to be some bugs, especially with network clients I'm not sure yet as I can't test ( need to install a linux vm with samba... no time tonight though )

There is a thread about it, but it's only for beta team members ( idk why actually, the idea was born in the normal section but xilikon made a responce thread in the beta section and it grew from there.

It works in conjunction with fahmon, in the sence that it get's the client names and location automaticly if you place it in the fahmon folder. If you don't it will ask you to browse for clientstab.txt, which should be located in fahmon\configs.

It gives a rundown for local gpu clients like driver version, board type ect, and for cpu clients which it finds locally it will try and determine if the proper service is running ( mpich or deino ) and if the mpiexe np 2 foo result is good or not.

Maybe some of you may find it usefull as well, saves you allot of time looking through your logs to find something of intrest.

Whiskey better turn it up, because it would be a shame for them to cheated out of their precious alcohol..

LOL... I hereby lodge a formal protest. Alcohol should be the first place prize and wine is merely an Hors D'oeuvre. We need sustenance. Tequila, Wild Turkey, Vodka or single malt Scotch!!!

We really need to upgrade those prizes.

Anyone else smell the smoke? Cuz we're on fire!!! 857,115 points in the last 24hrs.

guys!!! Keep up the good work!

**DAK1640** · 10-31-2008, 03:59 PM

I agree with Mr Penalty...Rhymes...Upgrade to Alcohol gifts...As far as the on fire part...OMFG, they are nuclear. That's ok, I heard a rumor of a team merger.

**Kondik** · 10-31-2008, 04:07 PM

Alright ...

Whisky recieves a bottle of Talisker Whisky
Tango recieves a bag of orange juice Tang
and Foxtrot recieves a postcard with plane accidents for year 1939 ~ 1945

And pardon me ladies and gentlemen but It's time for me to sleep and turn off this 12x 12 cm fan "pocket" black hole devil machine because thanks to Marvins Idea I left it online through two nights and got exactly 0 hours of sleep.

Curse of Bed ~ Instantly seduces the nearest person to its depths and doesn't release him for 8 hours .. .and thanks to Weekend there is an addition +4 hours to the sleep debuff for me ..

Happy Hogswatch uhh .... Folding Everybody

How dare you turn off your computer! I can sleep through my computer and it has 2 62dB fans churning away in it. And its right by my head!

Might be that I've been sleeping with my computer on since 2001....

You sure you don't want me to send you some earplugs?

I'm going in to btw.. it's time to lay on one ear, tomorrow 8 o'clock the lady leaves for work and I got to be up abd running for the kiddo

Edit: btw.. those two nights did boost your score

**DAK1640** · 10-31-2008, 04:13 PM

Kondik, you obvoiuosly aren't drink enuf...I find about 8 Oz the perfect amount for a good nights rest, tornados, volcano's earthquakes I read about in the morning...

Marvin, buy another GPU and expense it to WFO...

**~~Marvin_The_Martian~~** · 10-31-2008, 04:15 PM

Hey, 2 nights with no sleep? You know what they say, third time is the charm. I dare you to even try 72 hours straight!

I've never made it past 44.

Leave it on tonight. I guarantee you will sleep anyway.

Unless you are into cyrstal meth or other mind altering drugs that is.

**DAK1640** · 10-31-2008, 04:59 PM

Ummm... that was when I was 19 and working 3 jobs to support a motorcycle racing habit.

I'm moving into your territory now.

Edit: For those not paying attention...

XS is 13th in points today. 14th in 24hr average and 14th in points for the week overall.

Lol, I hope I never get there. I get up at 6, leave at 6:40, get to work at 8, then an 8 hour day and another hour commute home....thats 11hrs right there, I need to be up all day. I should start going to bed earlier than 12 too.

**MaK2000** · 10-31-2008, 06:25 PM

I have two empty slots but need a PSU that can handle more PCIE plugs. I only have two....
I am looking at getting a PCPC 1200 for future use on the next gen cards. I am thinking i7 X965 with a Foxconn Bloodrage and some new cards. Just need that

ing lawsuit I won in Feb to pay off. That bastard isn't paying me.

The other rigs were generously donated by an unnamed party.

Next week my PPD may go up. We have a gap to close.

**WFO** · 10-31-2008, 07:31 PM

For last months race, I did a 2 week sprint and cruised 2 weeks. This month I cruised 3 weeks and sprinted for a week. I've already beat last months output by 20K.

/me wonders what the future holds??

Any secret weapons to deploy???

The tanks aren't full and the tires are at operating temp. The hammer is down!!!

Here we go Foxtrot... here we go!!!!

As I recall trash talk was a requirement in the rules somewhere.

**catawalks** · 10-31-2008, 07:34 PM

Trying to squeeze some more point out this one machine thats up so I upped my shader clock to 1425 from 1242. Increased my ppd output by around 1k. I guess any little bit will help.

Yes we will!

I see by your sig all but one rig is committed here for the race. That's a good thing!

Bring it guys! We are less than 150K ppd from a million.

PS: Anyone else notice the Stanford fix for the GPU2 WU shortage apparently was to redeploy standard client servers to the GPU2? My standard clients could not get a WUs for 3 days. Several threads on the topic over at F@H. I guess they found a workaround. Standard clients all started folding again tonight.

GPU2 clients feeding properly too.

That is just straggler results coming in from before I switched...

**MaK2000** · 10-31-2008, 08:29 PM

WMDs are allowed. Whiskey, which I have ingested plenty, needs to get one track!!

Come on guys. Break anything you have loose!!

**~~Marvin_The_Martian~~** · 11-01-2008, 12:23 AM

the mailman has to hurry

Not that I can do much but it should be an extra 10k atleast... Trying to talk some people ( again ) into folding but they are more worried about power consumption then cancer
