    As long as your Projects tab lists the name you signed up with and says XtremeSystems, then you're all good:

    And on your Tasks tab you have WUs and they say Running, all good

    Make sure and go into the Computing Preferences and set it to crunch 100%:

    3570k @ 4.3ghz points

    Hi guys i was wondering if this sounds right
    I'm running a i5 3570k @4.3ghz and I'm exterminating that I'm getting about 25000 points per day does this seem right see pic below
    PS I'm only running 1 pc I'm not running 8 this is because of installing wcg onto other rigs as i am upgrading
    THANKS happy crunching i know i am now with ivy bridge

    One problem could be wcg itself, the server has been down a lot the last few days. If you lowered the cache to less than a day it may have run out work. Your points started to ramp up and then fell off http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...cg&name=681456 Other than that maybe a temp issue?

    im not sure if im getting good points for my cpu but overheating is not the problem max temp is 68c but normally about 63-65c
    i know boinc give lower scores than wcg but all i know is im getting much highr score per day even when i had a core i7 920@4.0ghz
    that is what i seem strange
    the web link i have never used before so i dont understand it to be honest but as long as im getting good points that's all im really bothered about
    i have noticed that the servers have been down seems strange thay must be doing maintenance or something

    Check to make sure WCG is set to run using all available CPU cores and that its set to use the computer while in use and 100% of CPU time. Set it both in your WCG preferences and in the client

    4.2 or 4.5ghz 3770k

    ok guys i have had an upgrade i have gone from a 3570k to a 3770k im really wanting to run 4.5ghz but im a little worried about temps.
    Im getting on average 75-80c with 100% with wcg with cpuid using 1.272 but i was wondering wold you guys run this overclock or wold you back it off
    i can run 4.2ghz with a max core temp of 72c
    ps this is for games as well so i can leave the clock speed alone
    what do you think?

    Honestly, it's probably smart to back off of it a bit, 80C is pretty high... and I think everyone else here will pretty much agree with that...

    But since you asked (), yes, I would run it like that... I've run chips hotter than that until failure, but then again I'm not shy about the possibility of killing chips. At that temperature though, you WILL see degradation.


    24 hour prime stable? Please, I'm 24/7/365 WCG stable!

    So you can do Furmark, Can you Grid???

    IMHO I would tone it down till temps are in the 60's..
    That's just my opinion and many Thanks for helping..

    What do you use for cooling, rubber5?

    also

    I think that your volts seem a bit high for that speed (maybe because of the temps though)

    lol rubber its good for some things

    back to the point im using a prolimatech megahalem black with 2x corsair 120mm sp performance fans push pull
    if i go any lower with the volts even 0.010 it bsods or i get errors i must just have a crappy chip as soon as the cpu hits 83c the fans go up to full speed 2200rpm but it normaly hovers around 1600 rpm if you know what i meen

    How about posting some proof that this program has actually ever done anything?
    Such as coming up with a list of diseases cured, treatments created and whatever else this program supposedly does?
    I've never seen or heard a mention of this program, anywhere, except on forums trying to get people to install programs like this with no proof, whatsoever, that it actually has accomplished anything, at any time, in any way.
    I used to crunch numbers for the now defunct "Find a Drug" program. They regularly posted proveable results as to what our work actually accomplished.
    Using our time and money running programs for some unknowable reason with no mention of any proveable results really doesn't make any sense.
    For all we know, we could be figuring actuarial tables for some large insurance company, figuring odds for the Las Vegas mafia or some other scam.
    This is why I haven't installed or ran any such program since the "Find a Drug" project ended.
    So how's about you start a stickied thread showing exactly what this program has accomplished and/or is actually accomplishing?
    Start with real world treatments and cures that directly arose from this program.
    BTW, no, I'm not trolling. I'm just looking for proof.
    It's easier to sell something if you can actually show the customer what they're buying into.

    Have you actually read, and understood, the title of this thread?
    It certainly doesn't tell me "Everything You Need To Know About World Community Grid/BOINC".

    Are you familiar with the initials "P.O.?"
    All the info about the projects is on the world community grid website. Click on the project you are interested in and then click on news and it will have latest update on the project.

    Now guys, lets be our usual nice and polite selves shall we?
    There are always people that are skeptical and thats fine by me.
    No one wants to do something without some assurance that they aren't wasting there time.

    Now to the gentleman in question, please do a little reading at the WCG site and then feel free to ask or PM me any questions.
    If your still uncomfortable with this then no problem at all, just don't run it.
    Crunch with us, the XS WCG team

    Actually the title is correct and understand that the meaning had to do with installing and running the app not explaining all the points and goals. BUT I do see your point.

    Ok folks, I cleaned this thread a bit as it seems with this gentleman we've gotten off on the wrong foot.
    I would remind everyone that at least to me when new people come into this thread they are to be treated like guests in ones home.
    With courtesy and respect.
