Crunching questions ????????????

[MattM]

As above, but with the addition that i'm using FF and it works perfectly fine for me.

 

[Abarbarian]

Ok I cleaned up my drive to get more space .Its nice to know I can install on any partition though . If its not going to use up a lot of disc space i think I'll leave it on C for now .

Any ideas about the mising pics in FF ?????????????

First lot of stuffs at 56% , time taken 4hr 53min ---- 3hr 21min to go .

It wont use anything like what it says it will. I have a queue of about 10 WU's and i use around 75-80MB At a guess i'd says yours will use around 50mb if you set the profile to 2 days..... (If you used BOINC)

Not sure about the pics, sounds like a new thread job to me as its not related to crunching.

Sounds like you got a FAAH job on the go with a run time like that, nice.

See pics for what I have and how its set ,

Looks like its automaticaly got a second job in line and waiting , will it keep on doing this or do I have to do something ?

You were all right it don't interfere with stuff , mind you it could be the new ram I installed .

Looks ok from those shots, use the 'advanced view' its better (Like the first screenshot)

Now just let it do its thing.

Hows your temps out of interest?

Well me sig lines a bit of a porky as I haven't swapped into the Antec case yet so I'm still running in me modified case which is far from perfect .

Room temp 20 C , Mobo 44 C , CPU 44 C , HDD 29 C .

Room temp 23 C , Mobo 46 C , CPU 50 C , HDD 33 C .

Now the latter figs are with the psu running on slow . If I crank it up it gets a bit loud but the mobo and cpu temps come down to 43 and 46 C . I'm hoping to swap cases this weekend and hopefuly I should get lower temps all round . Be good if I can run at low temps with low revs on the psu . Only time will tell .

Well me first tasks completed and the second one has started . Don't know whats going on and how it will affect your team stats but I'm not realy bothered as long as it helps .

We are all part of the team and we are grateful for everything folks crunch - who knows, that first result of yours could be the one that leads to a cure

Hi I'm using 250mb and have a que of 4 , not sure what you mean by setting the profile to 2 days . Whatever, as its running now it ain't affecting anything I'm doing . Just curious how the program works and how it can be set up . I've also got nice coloured lines on me statistics charts that are no longer horizontal

If you sign in at WCG and go to My Grid>Device Manager>Device Profiles>Boinc Device Profiles>Default>Advanced Options you will see a setting: 'Connect to network about every x days' - if you change it to '2.0 days' then it will download enough work to last 2 days in case of server outages etc, this ensures you will always have enough work to crunch.

 

[Abarbarian]

Done . Thanks .

Hi I'm using 250mb and have a que of 4...

I dont want to worry you but......
I would keep an eye on that one if i were you....I have seen that before, it may be a duff WU, that's a lot of disk space for 4 WU's. Keep an eye on the run time and progress if it dont look like its getting anywhere then abort it. You still using the UD agent?

 

[Adywebb]

Nope he's using Boinc - see his thumbnail in post #26, it seems to be progressing OK at the moment...

I thing the higher usage is because he's selected to receive all projects, so it has downloaded all the relevant set-up files for them.

Doh, pay attention...

Fair play, that still seems high though....

Ta fer looking after me guys . Looks like its running ok and more like you expected now .

 

[V_R]

Thats more like it!

Room temp 23 C , Mobo 46 C , CPU 50 C , HDD 33 C .

Now the latter figs are with the psu running on slow . If I crank it up it gets a bit loud but the mobo and cpu temps come down to 43 and 46 C . I'm hoping to swap cases this weekend and hopefuly I should get lower temps all round . Be good if I can run at low temps with low revs on the psu . Only time will tell .

So I swaped into me Antec case that I bought from floppybootstomp . New temps are ,

Room temp 23 C , Mobo 46C , CPU 44 C , HDD 32 C .

Thats with the psu running on slow . With the psu cranked up temps are ,

Room temp 23 C , Mobo 43C , CPU 39 C , HDD 29 C .

So not only have me temps come down with the swap I now have a pretty darn quiet pc too . Not totaly silent but pretty and quiet

 

[Abarbarian]

March madness or crunching crazy I ain't got a clue what it is but I've left me pc running for 49 hours and here are a few more temps .

Set the psu to low and case fan to high and this brought down the temps .

Room temp 22 C , Mobo 43 C , CPU 37 C , HDD 27 C .

Then I found the black tube that takes air from the cpu to the side of the case , fitted it and temps dropped again .

Room temp 22 C , Mobo 41 C , CPU 34 C , HDD 26 C .

So I think thats quite good .

However the weather has changed and room temp is now about 19 to 20 C and me temps are , and you have to bear in mind the pc has been running for a long time ,



Room temp 19/20 C , Mobo 37 C , CPU 31 C , HDD 24 C .

So I'm of to buy a thicker jumper and I'm keeping me windows open from now on .
