My sincerest apologies. I blame the all natural liquid muscle relaxer. Although the blame is mine for drinking it.

05/11/2017 22:00 (UTC) for the next boinc challenge, I guess this one gets a miss by most teams?

MGP · 9 May 2017 at 17:26

There are only 33 teams in the Pentathlon. But some 75 in the boinc thing. However It's difficult to know how many of the boincers actively partipate, or are just ranked by historic methods. Some will play, some won't. Some might split resources. I'd hope that OcUk gives it a swerve this time round.

I haven't had time to look into it, but it's GPU I hear, with about one day to crunch after Einstein ends for the Pentathlon? Better than nothing, that one day of racing.

Hoping you and yours are all safe and well, in light of the unthinkable violence in Manchester.

And the server is broken already lol

edit: Looks like it was a tempory problem tho

10esseeTony · 25 May 2017 at 06:11

In web preferences, you can select the desired run time of your tasks. It may be wise to set it to something huge, like 12-24 hours if tasks are going to be hard to come by. (then go for a shorter duration as the race conclusion draws near)

10esseeTony · 25 May 2017 at 06:43

Some interesting info on setting the desired run time:

Know the feeling, just put 3rd 280x in now and the 2 asus now sound like hair dryers running @90c and 72c while the only water cooled 280x is @46c , got blocks coming for the 2 asus tho thank god.

edit: they have gone quiet after running gpu tweak, tho the primegrid wu`s have gone from 2hours to over a day! might be a new batch tho but can't get any new till 11 tonight lol
