Those little annoying F@H things ..

I lost a WU yesterday worth 11,000. It'd finished, thought it'd uploaded, don't know what happened to it - I was mighty piddled off. I won't tell you how long it took to crunch that.

Had a streak of 29 WU, not one had failed, all was going good then it got messed up.

my WU was also worth about 11,000 points, could have broken the 100,000 point barrier when done, I blame my cooler, with games its fine, folding at home, real crap

Oh well, another WU loaded, time to do it all over again

 

[dipzy]

Ok, the rig now froze on me for the second time and the new WU only done 1%

im lost now, is it the ridiculously slow hdd or crazy high temps

What temps is it hitting? Shouldn't it throttle before it goes AWOL?

About 89-91 degrees

About 89-91 degrees

Ouch that is a tad warm. Is this on your 920?

yup my i7 920. Been thinking lately if i should change cooler or how i can bring them down, the one that come to mind first is the h100 but i can't seem to fina a place to put it in my ft02 as its more of an air cooled case.

Yeah, the D14 would probably be more suitable in there. SieB is selling one btw.

i may have to actually consider Sieb's D14 if im to continue to fold on the 920

I was playin' around yesterday with an old Dual Xeon Proliant server that I bought off eBay ages ago for £50. I loaded Ubuntu on it and the folding client, it sucked 300W out of the wall socket, made a noise like a howling banshee, and the PPD was absolutely pitiful. Shame really as it really looks the part, might have another play with it tomorrow, but I just don't think its up to the job.

Sucking 300W, that can only be Xeons based on P4/Netburst. In which case, it's probably not worth the effort.

Its 1U as well, so is extremely noisy. Its just way too slow, which is a shame - but I gotta get some more points somehow.

I have two 2.0ghz Xeons (5130) to get rid of and two 3.0ghz Xeons (5160) to do the same with.

Will probably have trouble getting rid of the 2ghz ones

What socket/arch' are they?

 

[Pickster]

What socket/arch' are they?

They are C2D, Socket 771 - I think. 65nm & 4mb Cache.

Ah cool.

ARGGGG, lost some ppd (and heat

for my room) last night because the computer decided it wants to reboot... which brings me to my question IF a computer restart and when it does it has the error that "no boot drive has been found" and so it requires to be turn off and turn back on to recognize the boot drive, is that a problem with my OCs and stability OR is it my stupid ocz ssd (which r said to be really good at dieing out on ppl). If its not the ssd what else could be causing this error

Behumus, its like POS WU day at my house

al GPU(s) have these meh WU(s) that take a lot of CPU cycles

brings me down a 12000PPD,.....

Only got 5,700 for it - but they all count - you live and learn.

Likely the SSD as few people fail to recognise an unstable clock when they fold on every rig they've clocked

OCZ stuff isn't that reliable in my experience. Often it appears to be working but when stressed claps out.

Have a similar boot problem on this ITX rig
