Parp!!! - Climat Prediction

Normal Service has resumed.

I must have really upset Windows XP - no matter what I tried I couldn't salvage it.

Anyways, formatted the XP partion, did a clean install, installed all updates - voila.

Two days lost - but should be ok now.

Running under different PC name - so will be able to monitor stats more effectively (until I give it away).

At least I've now got a fresh install with non of the rubbish one tends to collect.

Gonna be close on getting to 20th spot - just hope the 860 gets here soon.

Just realised CPDN was only getting half my Q6600. Easily rectified for two more cores. :)

And the stats update has run - Team OcUK reckons you'll be 10 days too late, but there's no sign of any fat lady just yet. :)

I've just locked the door on her - not getting in here in the near future.....

Output gonna be a bit low today/tomorrow......I've been busy :)

i7 860 is now installed - wee rig now has a new home (Thermaltake V3) looks good.

Running @ 4Ghz (on air Tuniq Propeller) - temps @ 80c.

Should be ok until I can get the H50 on it - but that won't be until Mid Rig gets upgraded.

Gonna drop a few points on seti too - my 250's have been hijacked into some video converting.
 
Beserker have you seen the .com version of the Teamocuk site? A clone of the site or a hack of an old site or...?
 
I noticed that the other day.. thought it was zerker getting the domain back, then I saw this:

Not Happy - Pretty sure I'm gonna loose this race.....

Still, you had a big enough lead.

Anyways, the reason I'm not happy is:


The i7 860 is running a little hot - has spiked to 88c (too hot for my liking).

So, I've ordered a better cooler - Thermaltake Frio and some Scythe Kaze (Jyuni) fans to see if I can make it a little cooler.

Just installed 6 of the fans on my i7 930 rig (Corsair 800D) and I must say they are nice and quiet and certainly shift enough air. Cooled my rig down somewhat too.

But Alas - I think it's too little too late to get to 20th before you.
 
Looks like I'm upto 2nd spot in RAC - should top the list tommorrow......

The 860 is now stable @ 3.99Ghz and the 930 is stale @ 4.125Ghz.....

Should net me around 11k ppd.

The Q6600 has now been upped to 3.6GHz but only active 50% of the time - so I'm hoping for around 2k ppd.

Even with this improved output - looks like I will still fall short.

oh well - sh!t happens :D
 
Update:

Thermaltake Frio arrived today :)

Has been lapped aswell as the i7 860 and placed nicely back into the rig.......after a slight mishap.

I was kinda trying the Frio out on the MB without CPU in place to check on clearances and inadvertently bent a few pins on the CPU socket - oh dear me thought.

So, after a few hours with a rather large magnifying glass, a craft knife and some tweesers I got it looking something like it should do.

Everything went back into place - had to reorganise the cables a little to accomodate the new fans but all is well.

Prior to the Frio temps were around 65/70c @ 3.7Ghz & 1.25v.

After upgrade temps are now 60/65c @ 4.2ghz & 1.4v.

Might spend a little time tomorrow checking OC to see if I can reduce votlages somewhat and keep stability.

But overall, I'm happy.

:D :D :D
 
Good work on the socket loudbob.

I noticed OcUK is now up to 25th in the world on CPDN and we're 13th in terms of current production. Quite a lot of people on the team who don't post here. I see dekez up ahead of me though.
 
I think you will end up stomping me Verbal, I've only got about a third of Q6600 on it, what are you running?
 
Me got:

Q6600 @ 3.42GHz - 50% of the time
i7 860 @ 4.0GHz - 100% of the time (stability issues @ 4.2GHz - no time to sort it yet)
i7 930 @ 4.2GHz - 50% of the time (trying to clear cache so that I can install winxp 32bits)

The Q6600 may be finding a new home soon and I might replace with a 2600k.
 
:eek: No chance of me sneaking past you! :)

I've set myself a little challenge to get into the top 10, it's going to be a slow trundle up there though :D

You're probably right......

Looks like I'm back on top for RAC, but......

I'm somewhere near clearing my cache so I can install WinXP 32bit (instead of WinXP Pro 64bit), however, SETI has gone and thrown a wobbler. Guess I'll have to wait until they get their servers back up so I can upload all completed work.

Just my luck eh......

:confused:
 
Using a Q9300 @stock but not for long. I'm moving to Tokyo in March and just taking a laptop (which i've ordered today). That'll be the end of folding, CPDN and DC in general for me for a year at least.
 
Wow that will be an amazing experience :), I wonder how much hardware will cost over there, you never know you may pick up some bargains.
