I've got a pretty volatile weather system in my area and had to turn the pc off for about an hour today because of lightening. Another week would be cool!

Edit: Lots of electrical storms today, ended up losing about 5 hours today : (

You have less than 40 minutes before the daily update to generate 3 million points for the team. Think you can do it?

[Wezly]

So this goal???

I'm not sure what it was supposed to be any more; I spent most of my time manually updating my projects because there was always at least one that was "Ready to Report" so I got lost in the "small stuff."

Once a work unit is completed, the servers often don't take it in right away. Although BOINC is always connected to the servers (unless you specify otherwise), the line opens up only at certain times during the day.

only 28 more WU's to do on my i7-920 machine and then i can shut
her down and fire up my brand new i7-870 rig and play with it until
my new HD5870 gets here(tuesday).it been so hard letting this new
i7-870 rig just sit here during the crunch week.but now as soon as
the WU's are finished(so they get done in time)i can fire up my new
rig and install boinc and crunch and play with the i7-870,and when
the 5870 arrives ill put the 3450 in the 920 setup and let it crunch
away while i OC the sh#t out of my new i7-870 using my sweet g.skill
2200 cl7's.going to be so fun

this is what my new setup consist's of......

Intel Core i7-870 - Quad-Core @ 2.93GHz
Gigabyte P55A-UD7
8GB Corsair DOMINATOR DDR3-1600 CL8 6GB's of this will go into the 920 setup
Gigabyte Radeon HD 5870 1GB
Corsair P128 Solid-State Drive
WD 2TB Caviar Black
Corsair 850HX
Corsair Obsidian Series 800D
Corsair H50 Liquid CPU Cooler i'll throw this on the 920 and use my WCing loop on the 870 setup
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64
ASUS Xonar D1
ASUS LED 23.8" MS238H

oh, i cant wait til the 5870 gets here
by the way does anyone know how SSD's and OCing mix?
are they more prone to OS corruption than regular HD's?

wow that's one fancy cruncher!

OC'ing has no more ill effect on SSD that it would for a HD. however, if you're going to be crunching on a SSD, make sure you set your "checkpoint to disk" to some high number, like 1000sec or something. constantly writing little bits of data like this can be a little hard on the ssd controller.

[radaja]

WhiteFireDragon,thanks for the input about crunching and SSD's

[WhiteFireDragon]

you're welcome

ssd's are much more valuable than HD's and since you have a WD 2tb black in there, i would put the data directory on the storage drive. HD/SSD performance has no affect on crunching, and some people killed their SSD's from crunching. i had this question myself about a month ago, here's that thread:

so all i have to do is install boinc on my F:drive(thats the WD 2TB)?
and it will automatically keep everything regarding boic on that drive?
