SETI@Home & Projects News Vol. 185 5th October to 12th October 2012

Hope your house has decent foundations or you might be crossing the channel when those bad boys fire up :D
 
TT please tell me thats a 1080 rad! if so dam you for stealing my cooling ideas...

On a side note anyone know of any Dual socket 1366 boards up for sale?
 
3 x triple rads one double thick one thick and one regular plumbing is a nightmare but it will free up some stuff to flog on so its not all bad the only outlay was the rad box :)
 
AAArrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

God Dam EVGA!!!!!

Another GPU has bitten the dust!!!!

Four EVGA GPU's in about four weeks - all from different PC's..........this time it's the GTX560Ti 2win......and it's less than three weeks old!!!

Thats the last time I buy anything from EVGA!!!!!!

TheTross: see if you can find a 460GTX they are cheap as chips and perform within a few K of a 560Ti

Click to expand...

I got one - two when the second is delivered later today.

I was gonna put em up on MM...that was before the latest GPU failure i just had :(
 
Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.......

The second 560Ti 2 win has just gone KAPUT!!!

:confused:

:mad:

:(

Will try them in a few of the other PC's later - just in case it is user error...
 
Blimey Mr Loudbob sah your haveing a run of bad luck with those gpu's! I wouldnt let it put you off evga stuff although it might cost an arm n a leg to post stuff back on rma they are generally pretty good with the old customer service.
Hope your luck changes soon :)
 
Me hopes so too......

T'is one of the reasons why I 've started purchasing EVGA only GPU's - customer service & RMA procedure - but the cost of returning four GPU's in the last four weeks or so and now another two is just........expensive :(

Beginning to think i'd have been better off buying MSI or Gigabyte (never had an issue with either - other than cooling fans) and if things did go wrong it would be a simple RMA back to OcUK.

Just recieved the replacement 460 & 570 via UPS so everything is up and running again.

I did try the 560's again in different PC's and I must admit - it's the first time I've seen a GPU let sparks fly from the circuit board........

GPU's currently in service:

4 x GTX680's
2 x GTX570 Classified's
2 x GTX570's
2 x GTX480's
2 x GTX460's

S'pose it'll have to do.....

:)
 
Thanks for the news TTB.

As mentioned in another thread, I've been given a new machine at work with an i5 3570, which is now running SETI, CPDN and Rosetta on Fedora linux, should be a nice boost to the stay-at-home E7200.

I'm confused though. As this is a linux GPU-less machine, is there a lunatics app for me? I can't find an optimised linux CPU MB app?

Well lesson learned, don't update the bios when you only have remote access to the desktop via VNC. :eek:

Good news is that the bios update fixed the 4th gpu not being recognised in Winders.

Bad news is that the office where it and Darkmatter lives is going to close in a few months, so I'm looking for an ultra cheap datacenter where I can colocate half a racks worth of kit.

Which reminds me I think kerrgreg does stuff like that!
