Aye, well done Messrs. Derv & Remos. Did you know about this? - http://www.setiatwork.com/team/teamstats.cgi?teamid=30189

Another handy little site to track your progress.

H'onwards & H'upwards.

That's a useful page, thanks Chasser. I'm not sure I like the red triangle next to my name though, not sure why that is there...

*glares at Mr Remos

Should I be in the Single PC leaque with 4 pcs running seti?

I don't think so. As soon as I added a second PC (even though it did less than a couple of hours work) I dropped off the single PC list.

I'm sure Mr TTB will correct me if I'm wrong.

Good modning Mr Millionaire

I should have said when you indicated you were having problems with gpu tasks if you go back to boinc version 6.10.58 it seems to correct the lack of gpu work .... my bad :eek:

Are you running more than one machine sah? If so will update the single pc users list accordingly, your efforts are really welcome please keep up the good work

Got a xeon L5640 hex core week or so ago installed everything works fine, am wary of manually overclocking and just applied a x16 multiplier which gives 2.99mhz (upto 18). Last few days have had a few blue screens and a few restarts am allmost sure the gpu's are fine (not massively oc).
Anyone have any experience with these chips that i could learn from? I know ideally i should put this question in the relevant forum but as you guys know what its used for you might have a better idea of whatswhat.
Thanks in advance peeps

Sorry toxic, never owned a xeon so cant help you there, run everything @ stock for a week to see if the problem still happens, that way you can start to eliminate possible reasons - it might be a power issue - have you got a molex socket to plug additional power in on your mobo?

Nice tiffy Tel...

Nearly there now, just waiting on the MDPC braid to arrive and I can start briading the PC as I have all my bits now...
Gonna take some photo's this weekend of all the bits as I fancy doing a build log as spending this much means I feel it is a shame to hide it all away.

from the sounds of it, your power tool accident was a bit worse than you were letting on if it is still stopping you building, you do still have all your fingers don't you???
Hope you heal up OK
