Posted 11 hours ago by mikey At least you are in German hospitals, they seems to be somewhat high quality. It seems like he was as he's scheduled for rehab!!! |

(Message 9942)
Posted 11 hours ago by mikey After returning from the hospital after a stroke, there has been a little progress with health. in 3 weeks a rehab is planned. That's GREAT news Reb!!! I'm VERY VERY glad you are back and 'working on things' just be sure to take care of Reb FIRST!! I am just getting ready to start rehab myself, middle of next month, for a 3 way heart bypass they did on me at the end of last month!! There are things that NEED to be done and there's a LONG list of things it would be nice to get done. REB is on the NEED to do list, the rest can wait for you to be healthy again my friend!! Take care and I am hoping for a speedy and FULL recovery for you, and I!! mikey |

Dual GPU. Ideas for better cooling?
(Message 9936)
Posted 1 day ago by mikey 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. Lots of times you can find new/used cases pretty cheaply if you aren't pushed for time, which you aren't, so if you have the time and know how you can swap things over to a new case giving you the room you need. |

Posted 4 days ago by mikey Thank you. Any help is welcome. Yes but you could lose some productivity, YES for some people it's worth it anyway especially for those who have very high electricity rates. |

Posted 5 days ago by mikey I've 2 RX 6700 XT. It's a dual GPU setup. ps I asked a guy in another group if he'd give you a better answer as he is FAR more experienced in that type of thing than I am, he may ore may not reply but either way give him a couple of days. mikey |

Posted 5 days ago by mikey I've 2 RX 6700 XT. It's a dual GPU setup. 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. |

Posted 3 Mar 2024 by mikey Glad to hear I helped you! Thank you very much!! My current goal is to get each app up to 100K hours, the Long tasks got there today so I'm moving my pc's to a different Project, I still have them trying to get tasks here just not the Long tasks anymore. I did increase the number of gpu's to get the TF tasks though as I have a LONG way to go to get to 100K hours in them. |

Posted 29 Feb 2024 by mikey Glad to hear I helped you! 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!! mikey |

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. |

Posted 27 Feb 2024 by mikey I bought a pre-built refurbished HP Z840 dual socket from a reseller. I wanted to give an update...I bought a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2670 v2 @ 2.50GHz [Family 6 Model 62 Stepping 4] with 10/20 cpu cores on each cpu, so 40 cpu cores in the pc for $280 SHIPPED!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for telling me about the place!! No it isn't the fastest pc but it sure does churn out 39 cpu tasks and 1 gpu task at a time!!! It's currently doing the SRB Long tasks like this on average: 25 Feb 2024, 20:30:53 UTC Completed and validated 156,990.60 156,990.60 2,800.00 Sierpinski / Riesel Base - long v0.42 |

This has never been allowed in any other Boinc Project so far, one task per gpu each running it's own task. It's not like gaming where you can double, triple whatever up on the gpu's to make the game perform better. Unless you are talking about testing, then yes they often run the same task on each gpu, getting zero credits of course, to test the task on multiple gpu's. |

Posted 3 Jan 2024 by mikey Or we don't run this project any more is another option. Going anonymous still means SRBase will announce that YOU found one far and wide in the Notifications section of the Boinc Manager so EVERYONE will now you got one. |

Posted 1 Jan 2024 by mikey I bought a pre-built refurbished HP Z840 dual socket from a reseller. I LIKE that place thank you very much!! I LOVE that their prices include shipping!! I test built a pc with dual Intel Xeon E5-2697 12/24 core cpu's, 128gb of ram, 250gb SSD, a generic 128mb gpu and an 850 watt psu for $310!! I think I could run SRBase out of tasks pretty quickly with one of those, or at least keep Rebirther on his toes!! |

Posted 1 Jan 2024 by mikey I bought a pre-built refurbished HP Z840 dual socket from a reseller. 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. |

Posted 21 Dec 2023 by mikey Thanks! Which MB did you buy or did you buy a pre-built system? I too have been looking at these cpu's for my next build. ALSO have you had a chance to run a some tasks yet? |
