Congrats

I recently made it into the top 25, feels good.

Sadly my PPD will go back to zero again soon as this GPU needs RMA'ing now. Thats the third card I've managed to kill by *ahem* not changing the clocks at all *ahem* and then folding with them 24/7. :rolleyes:

andy_mk3 · 5 Jan 2014 at 12:02

Nice! I'm a very long way off the top 25 yet, doubt I'll ever make that!

That sucks though!

Hi all apologies for the lack of news this week, over Christmas I've moved the generator to a NAS and I believe I've corrected all the outstanding issues with it. Unfortunately though I mixed up my days when writing the cron jobs so will have to wait another 3 weeks for enough data to be present for it to work.

andy_mk3 · 5 Jan 2014 at 23:55

No problem

Hopefully by then I should have done a bit more now I have a 280x in

andy_mk3 · 7 Jan 2014 at 14:29

Dammit, another core 16 wu, dropping to 15k ppd! I never used to get them on my 6950, I've had a few on my 280x now with client type advanced on

Biffa · 7 Jan 2014 at 14:57

Never get them

andy_mk3 · 7 Jan 2014 at 18:37

The other day I even deleted the slot twice and I got a 16 twice again! Rather annoying dropping from ~115k to 15k!

mining has taken over , its all im seeing in this section of the forum

diogenese · 8 Jan 2014 at 17:51

The sooner they get their own forum the better, even though there has been many folk switching to mining from crunching.
I'm still crunching for biological research.

MGP · 8 Jan 2014 at 18:23

Will the last person to stop crunching please turn out the lights

Biffa · 8 Jan 2014 at 19:34

Its all interesting stuff

But we are trying to get a subforum organised, the dons are discussing it.

I am mining but don't want it to disrupt the community we have here.

Biffa · 8 Jan 2014 at 20:02

Ive chased up on it again with the relevant don.

I can't even fold while I'm away from home my laptop has died

Think it wasn't up to the crunch !

Any recommendations for a lappy that can crunch a few?

Biffa · 10 Jan 2014 at 09:30

Not really reccomended on a laptop

Probably why its now dead Biffa

Should have just stuck to playing bejewled !

Biffa · 10 Jan 2014 at 10:09

LOL!

Any particular reason it has to be a laptop? You could build a cheap dedicated folder out of second hand parts (say a dual core cpu, 4gb of ram and a 7950) then use your laptop for what its designed to be used for
