My bad for forgetting to update settings after the heatwave.

No worries, very glad you're back with us! I'll remind you next time through PM, ok?
We also have a new member, fechter, but I have no idea who that is. Welcome in any case!Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

I guess I should come out of the woodwork - the recent addition would be me. Currently stress testing some systems, so won't keep up the current output, for what it matters... but I'll try to keep the client running on some PCs.

Welcome to the team Wulfman and I hope you'll crunch for us for a long time, at whatever pace you want/can.Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

Currently in middle of maintenance and preliminary upgrades.
The 3820 may be upgraded soon to a 4930k, extra few cores to play around with. Soonâ„¢. Will then be clocking it up as well to 4.3Ghz. (These chips play funny when fully loaded on RAM so can't push it too far). Will then see if I can't leave it on a bit more. Until then, it's in low power state most of the time so only running at 1/3rd speed it should be and only on 5 threads at a time.

How do you get it to run in a low power state? I would have thought BOINC would cause the CPU to max out on the cores it can use?Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

To be very honest I don't know. It's been like that since the last time I installed it (onto the USB drive stick). The CPU will use the threads I tell it to (5 : Five threads max), but it never pushes it hard enough to cause the CPU to go full speed. Instead, the CPU uses all the threads allocated to it but remains at low power of 1.2 Ghz instead. That's why my output has been so low compared to before (other than the last week when the machine was simply not on at all).
5 Threads allows the machine to do other duties and functions without needing to stall/pausing BOINC or cause conflict of resources to whatever I'm doing at the time.
Hoping with the 4930k I can set it to 9 threads and leave the last 3 to other duties.
Of course, this is all still preliminary at the moment, still need to get other stuff sorted first. But heading in that direction.
Until then, I'm not going to mess around with BOINC more to fix this low power state, as it's working "fine" as it is right now and I don't want it doing something silly next because I'm messing with settings that don't need tampering with. Will sort it when the CPU upgrade happens.

I don't see how this can be related to any BOINC setting so I am guessing it is a UEFI/BIOS setting that is causing this. It moght be nice in the sense that you're not using a lot of power although I think it would be more efficient to run at max power for a limited number of hours per day. INteresting. What happens if you do do things that use the other three cores as well? If you can't get it out of this state then you're effectively running 5, uhm, PIIIs?Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

Wow. With Sitflyer and J1NG being back and Wulfman adding we are now #62 by RAC (@ZokesPro, we're ahead of Team MIlwaukee Electric Tool Corp by RAC!!). Perhaps, with a little bit of extra effort or Resurrections, we can reach #150 by YE!Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.

Not bad, but my output is going to drop at some point..

With the weather cooling I have fired up the older lappy, to just crunch, and modified the exceptions on my primary.
Whatever output I have should be pretty constant for the next 6 months.Comment

Haha, maybe someone took my complaint about their servers seriously! I've noticed that their machines aren't number one either.Originally posted by Umfriend View Post
Had a little scare when I saw my last electric bill. But having a child in the house explains it. Thought I was going to have to sell the server, or worse, shut it down! (wait, isn't selling it worse?)Titanium is the new bling!

And another milestone has been reached for team MURC:Congrats Nicram!Nov 15, 2014
Predictor of the day: Congratulations to Nicram (Team Matrox Users) for predicting the lowest energy structure for workunit 6h_tube9_3_A_6h_tube9_3_B_patchdock_split_03_14103 0_SAVE_ALL_OUT__223981_0 !
Meanwhile, we're at #165 by TC and 65 by RC. I'm doing nicely as well, within #1000 by TC and #1 by RC of the Netherlands!!!Join MURCs Distributed Computing effort for Rosetta@Home and help fight Alzheimers, Cancer, Mad Cow disease and rising oil prices.
