Any SC Week Prep Plans?

**Movieman** · 10-26-2012, 04:47 PM

Learned tonight that the two 7970's I thought were coming here aren't..They turned into 7950's but they will be on the team, just not on my account.

Still good crunchers.

I also have 1 stick of 8GB DDR3 if that would help anybody get a system running for the week.

update again: I'm getting another motherboard and ram, so I will be using the i3-3220 and GTX 650. Only the i3-2100 will be available to loan out.

I have open slots for up to FIVE 7970's if anyone has extras gathering dust!

Well looks like I'm taking the plunge.... hopefully for pie?

You would need to call the power company to have them crank up the nuke plant to power your rig if you installed all of those.

BTW, finally got my 7870 crunching 3 wu's. Breaking it in now but tomorrow will hit 4. Will be ready for next week!

Already called them and as long as Sandy stays away I am covered..

What CPU are you running? You could run 6 WUs easily.

This card is in my dual X5670 (2.93) rig. Just switched to 4 and temps are just under 60c with 45% fans. Takes a little over 3 minutes to complete the wu's. Will see how this runs today before deciding to go higher.

So happy... I have Tuesday off from work so I can take ALL DAY to get everything set up the way I want for SC week!

Ah the sickness has settled in nicely with this specimen

**my87csx481** · 10-29-2012, 06:45 AM

Unfortunately, Snowmageddon 2012 is threatening to decimate the entire east coast and eliminate all its inhabitants.

In preparation, I shut everything down this morning before leaving for work. Hopefully, I won't be down for too long but, I may not be able to participate this time around.

**=[PULSAR]=** · 10-29-2012, 11:22 AM

Well power is already out here and weather isn't even bad.

**bearcatrp** · 10-29-2012, 01:02 PM

Maybe postpone this by one week to give folks on the east coast time to take care of themselves from this storm.

Oooh, I would like this (also for selfish reasons).
I feel the time between email and SCW is too short to really prepare for something. I ordered some video cards before the mail went out, but receiving, installing, testing etc will take some time. My computers will probably be up to speed at the end of SCW

**NKrader** · 10-29-2012, 03:30 PM

lol.. my plans are to not get my power disconnected during the week so i can keep making points.

**werdwerdus** · 10-29-2012, 04:20 PM

there will be another one in 6 months, always!

**bluestang** · 10-30-2012, 04:56 AM

Hoping to get power back and my cable internet back in time to ramp up for SCW!

**werdwerdus** · 10-30-2012, 12:46 PM

starting to move over my 8 nvidia gpus (check sig) to WCG. expect to see a bump in the next 12-24 hours!

**0ne.shot** · 10-30-2012, 01:12 PM

I just purchased a MSI Twin Frozr III 7950. It should be here by Thursday, and Friday at the latest. That paired with my 570 should give me some decent points for SCW.

**=[PULSAR]=** · 10-30-2012, 05:13 PM

Wth!!! Hartford is a few towns over what's it doing up there?

**0ne.shot** · 10-30-2012, 07:39 PM

Hopefully you can get those before SCW starts. What frequency are you running the 980x at?

**=[PULSAR]=** · 10-30-2012, 08:39 PM

The 980X is at 4.2ghz, anything above that starts requiring large bumps in voltage to maintain 24/7. The new 7950's are going in a SR-2 though.

**NKrader** · 10-31-2012, 08:09 AM

I love leaving the crunching game for like less than 6 months, come back everyones scores have doubled, but mine.. stupid video cards..

with the amount of points people can add withone little card, makes me not even feel bad about leaving my Sammy turned off and in my closet all week..

**=[PULSAR]=** · 10-31-2012, 09:20 AM

Tell me about it, I'm getting ready to sell a lot of things and just have a dedicated server board with multuple gfx cards and a gaming rig. Multiple machines spread around the house seems like a waste now.
