Welcome back and congratulations on the slow small rehab improvements. I had open heart surgery 23 months ago and it was also slow coming back but you will get there a bit at a time.

I had open heart surgery, 3 way bypass, at the end of March this year and YES it gets better slowly and sometimes you have setbacks but as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other it DOES get better!!

The other thing that helped me is doubling the electrolyte packets, I use Propel, as it gave me ALOT of energy that I was losing thru the Lasix pills I was, and still am, taking to keep the swelling down. I don't recommend the brand 'Liquid IV' as it's got 11 grams of sugar in each packet. The Liquid IV packets DO have about 3 times as much stuff in it as compared to the Propel packets but it seems like ALOT of that is sugar.

Liquid IV is likely to be used to make a hypotonic drink, which requires both salt and sugar. It's still waaaay less sugar than the usual isotonic sports drink you find in a store, which, based on a local example, is 6 grams of sugar on about 3.4oz (100 mL). Liquid IV is 11 grams on 16oz (about 473 mL).

At least you are in German hospitals, they seems to be somewhat high quality.

For some of the Germans, not for all.

That's sad!!, I hope Reb has a good one!!

After returning from the hospital after a stroke, there has been a little progress with health. in 3 weeks a rehab is planned.

project updates so far:

- cert update
- gimps reserved results have all been reported
- server backup

still to be done...

2 results still need to be reported
RAM check as planned since 2 weeks

Thanks to everyone for all the well wishes, I wish everything would be better, maybe we'll be back at full speed in a month

Let's say there's no space in the case. I can't move or add anything. I did some math now and sadly there's no space for a liquid cooled solution.

Seems that software is everything i can change.

No problem for the productivity loss since the alternative is not running the project. Especially if less productivity also means less electricity and so expenses.

I think i found a solution for now. -6% power. Maybe in summer i'll also add a -10% voltage.

Thank you guys.

Thank you. Any help is welcome.

Now i was thinking about undervolt.

Is it ok for BOINC projects?

I've 2 RX 6700 XT. It's a dual GPU setup.

1st one gets hot like hell because of the hot air it takes from the 2nd and the 2nd still runs a bit too hot.

The 1st one becomes so hot that i can't run the project since it goes in thermal throttling.

Bigger MB with more gpu slots so you can spread them out a bit? The other is to swap the back plates of the gpu's so you can use water cooling.

Should we expect a zero recent average credit?

I would think a restart would not be unexpected...

There is a delay in checking. The calculation in background is still running. Of course I need to check with memtest but will be noticed in news soon. Credits are normal as always.

Looks like all of the new uploaded work units got claimed right away. LOL.

yeah, was not much and old work, the new apps are counting nearly 0 estimated time as always, will try a bigger batch soon.

Glad to hear I helped you!

I use to give each core a task, but I found that giving larger tasks more cores really helped with completing them in a timely fashion.

You can find information on how to do that with this post: https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=6&postid=3795#3795

You can choose to give each workunit app a different value of cores to use and concurrent tasks to run.

I ended up giving all tasks 4 cores and limited the concurrent instances to (Number of cores/4)-1 so that the TF task would run on the GPU.

I do know about that but do you know about wuprop? wuprop.boinc-af.org/ is a boinc project that you one task per pc and it counts the hours you put in for each application at each boinc project, ie these are my SRBase hours since I started running it counting my SRBase hours:
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long 92,062.18 215.62
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base 60,467.38 0.00
SRBase TF 57,775.23 5.95
SRBase Riesel Base - short 55,398.58 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long3 54,583.10 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski Base - short 52,399.33 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long2 52,092.23 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average2 51,083.50 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski Base 50,964.62 0.00
SRBase Riesel Base 50,888.92 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average 50,772.85 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - short 43,424.43 0.00
SRBase Sierpinski / Riesel Base - average3 38,794.68 0.00

You can see the app and after that is my total number of hours in each app and the last numbers are the number of hours for the last 24 hours.

I will also let my signature come thru this time so if you have them turned off turn them on so you can see the total number of credits I have right now and why getting credits faster isn't my goal anymore. And YES that is REALLY 1.6 Trillion credits!!

That is a pretty neat project. Thanks for sharing!

That is impressive amount of time on SRbase and the 1.3 Billion in credits is not bad either! :)

What is your current goal?

Everything from S79 is gone now, and this is the last S115 task still in progress. https://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5/workunit.php?wuid=126959241

Yeah, Iam back to home, sorry, working on the last batch now.

Last batch part1 is loading now.

Does this mean we are almost done with the SRB Long tasks and will move onto something else soon? I'm not complaining as it has been nice to run something besides 3 seconds tasks for awhile but something inbetween would be nice too, at least once in awhile. I think running only the short ones is partly why the website is so hard to connect to sometimes, too many of us all trying to return units at the same exact same moments in time.

We still have long WUs left.

I bought a pre-built refurbished HP Z840 dual socket from a reseller.

Yes! It has been up and running for ~8 months now and has gotten ~63M credits.

A lot of the credits were from TF, but it definitely does CPU tasks well with dual E5-2698 v3 16-core CPUs.

You are doing GREAT with it!! Was it a local to you supplier or not? Either way can I have their name so I can check them out please? I am always looking for newer pc's to increase my crunching with less power than I am using now. I'm still using some older AMD 6 cores and some Intel I7-4??? series cpu's. I do have a few newer ones as well like an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 16/32 core pc but the older Intel Xeon pc's I have do need to be replaced with pc's with more cpu cores.

I wish it was a local supplier! I would definitely visit to pick it up directly.

Absolutely! The vendor is https://pcserverandparts.com/.

The only downside I have seen so far is they don't have a lot of post-commercial use Ryzens yet.

I don't understand what you mean. I wanted to run the same task on both GPUs at once. If the dodgy one gives a different result, there's something up.
