SETI@home News Vol. 119 (09/01/2011)

Tiffy list updated, congrats lads :)

On a side: halz, do you still have the heading images to hand? I've noticed that the tiffy list one is missing. Also, if you do still have them, any chance of one being created for the Single PC League? Thanks :D
 
But i do seem to be crawling away from Mr Edge:)

Hmm, I noticed that, been wondering what I can buy to try and catch you and try to hold off Reaver and Loudbob. I have one more pci-e slot free, but I don't think my PSU is beefy enough - 1500W Xigmatec, but I have 2 x 470's and 1 x 480 in it so it will be tight powerwise..
Might wait for the 560 - will have to see...

Cheers for the news TT and congrats to Biffa, Halz and Chasser on some mighty fine tiffys

Don't worry about the hangover Toxic - they get better with practice :D

Xigmatec should be fine, I have 4 GTX470's (overclocked to 800) and a i7 970 @4 Ghz and it only barely pulls 1200W at the most according to my plug in meter thingie.

Didn't you and toxic have issues with PSU's failing when running 4 GPU's??
Im sure it was you two :confused:

No I had a motherboard failure, nothing to do with the PSU, but I RMA'ed the PSU as when the motherboard failed it melted the 24pin connector from the PSU. Wish I had just cut it off and put a new one on considering how much it cost me to RMA the bleedin thing.

But never had a problem with the PSU.

Fair enough, might have to go shopping next month then..
:D:D
 
I'm not sure my lunatics optimisations are running, I'm only getting 6.08 (cuda) and 6.03 tasks, shouldn't I be getting astropulse or something as well?
 
Check that you have Astropulse work enabled in your SETI@home preferences. If not, enable it and then update SETI. That said, Astropulse WUs are few and far between at the moment so you may well have trouble receiving any anyway :)

Thanks TT, yep it's a 260, glad it's working then. You're right I didn't have Astropulse v5.05 enabled so I've ticked that. Sorted :)
 
I've been using a similar method for my sig over at XS forums.

bs_msig.php


But I was worried it was too big for here (size) but think its ok under 20K
 
Cheers :D

Looks good Biffa, I got stung with a read the FAQ warning first time I tried as I used a PNG file (didn't want the lovely Scarlett getting all distorted :D) it's a jpg now and is under the 20k combined :).
 
Ah good solution, I scrapped my previous Scarlett sig as I changed the settings on it and I couldn't fit the new url in and foolishly didn't save the previous one, should have thought of that!
