Everything You Need To Know About World Community Grid/BOINC

Are you getting a lot of errors from that system perhaps? I would expect to see a message about quota, but just the same it's worth looking.

this might sound like a stupid question but if i ran my i7@3.6ghz 24/7 is there anyway of telling how long it will last using wcg with 100% load im only using 1.15v on the cpu max temp 65c and i think 1.26v qpi and 1.2v vtt
i cant remember at the mo have not gone into bios to check it out

ps i think i have put in 6 days of wcg so far

I have some computers that have been crunching WCG non-stop for three and a half years. All the systems are overclocked at least 40%. The only problem I have had was a stick of RAM that went bad.

Yes, my electricity bills are high. But I can afford it. Some people donate to charity every month. I donate my time and money to science and the utility company.

Some of the people in my neighborhood have very big homes. If you ask them about their power bills, they just roll their eyes. It's even worse for people with swimming pools. Heating and maintaining a pool will really drive up your power bill.

that it true if you can do it then do it i wish i lived in a better country i really hate the uk everything is just so expencive
just as example my cpu,cpu cooler,motherbord and memory cost me a little over £600 converting it in to dollers that will set you back $1200
but if you bught it in america it will be $600
its stupid thay bring something out and all thay do it change the currancy from $ to £ at the end of the day it cost me 2x the ammout you can get it for
in america so annoying
sorry im rambling you have to smile dont you at the end of the day

Not everyone has such a high opinion of America. I lived and worked in London for a year, so I know how expensive things are in the UK, especially in that city. Half my paycheck went to taxes. But I had a great time while I was there.
