bet he dont, not with the chance to build an awesum machine with 120 threads lol

What are you going to use it for? It might be worth considering getting something like 2 of these.

Already have one quad and four dual 2011 rigs ,one built on that very board is going to take over from the SR-2 as my daily driver.

All have 8 or 12 core CPU's but I am only going to allow myself one dedicated crunching rig so am selling off most of them

Plus the 4890V2 CPU's are the next generation on from the 2600V2 xeons.

Not to forget one of the main reasons is space/manageability having rigs dotted all over the place is a pita.

You might have set your 10 day countdown clock running a bit too soon :eek:

I've taken a card out as I think it was causing the box to reboot, once a day, so it might need to be RMA'd and production has dropped because of that. Also I'm away at the beginning of January so will be turning all the cards off for that period.

UK BOINC Team has doubled its output and we have lost abut a million from our peak.

Excellent, didn't take as long as I expected, I'm not even half way through my 50M yet

Good Job all.

Looks like I got my system back up and running after the race is done

Windows updates caused driver conflicts on my Xeon rig which is why it was spitting out so many errors. Solved that then the PSU in my other machine was causing instabilities so that's now powering my dual Xeon with no GPU's.

Note to self: A x79 setup, 2 GTX 980's + Soundblaster ZxR + Noctua NH-D15 and a Corsair AX 1500i is not designed for use in a mid sized case!

And I managed to get into the top 20 over the break

Looks like we have stomped two more teams and the US Navy tomorrow

PDW · 6 Feb 2016 at 17:43

Yes, we should sink the US Navy tomorrow

There are no BRP6 tasks available for GPUs, there is a problem which the admins say they will fix on Monday but there are BRP4G tasks you can do.
