Only about 2 hours till the next sprint is announced !!

got a psu yes, £10 850w power colour jobie from a lad near me LOL , its fine for server 1 . if its a CPU only challenge ill rob the psu from the kids pc again to get server 2 going. im going to set another harddrive up with windows on so its at least ready.
only just got a tp link wifi adaptor for in the shed as I was using my phone as a source of internet, now I can monitor it 24/7.

also offered me a corsair RM 1000 for £40 but its missing some cables I think, but the main ones was there like 24 pin, only 1 8 pin cpu cable, sata cable and 2 pci cables.

I hope its skynet pogs, ive been saving my completed work up just incase

im keeping an eye on temps and in the shed im getting 40c on all cores sometimes even less, last time I had the same server in a small room under the stairs and it was running at 60c or more! big difference in temps.

Normally it would be in the preferences https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields/prefs.php?subset=project but there's no option there to select what work units you get.

Have you tried resetting the project? I get work on both linux & Windows.

ozaudio · 13 Apr 2017 at 17:06

yep reset and removed and re added, thinking of just making a new account

hanluc · 13 Apr 2017 at 18:16

Is it 64 bit windows you're using?
