40 WU's per day.

[chawken]

Well, this is only a small brag - I haven't caught up with TC's 45 WU's per day - but I'm getting there. On Friday 8/3 at 4pm I was at 2770, and I just turned in my 2890th WU - 120 WU's in just under 72 hrs.

Hoping that by the end of the month to have 3 more rigs up and running SETI - as soon as vendors get the ABIT KG-7 raid board.

I hope I'm not stepping on toes (Kris), forgive me if it is so.

250,000 WU's...................08/08/01
500,000 WU's approx.......01/31/02

Top 50 by Xmas.

Happy crunching.

[kat]

i guess i better get to work :D

that network thing is still a mystery...

[LuKE]

I still can't understand how that many a day is possiable. i mean i'm lucky to three or four. neone mind telling me what i'm doing that is so wrong?

I have a bit of an advantage. I have 8 rigs running SETI.

ABIT KT7A 1.4@1.67 384mb VC133
ABIT KT7A 1.2@1.36 256mb VC133
ABIT KT7A 1.2@1.43 256mb VC133
ABIT TH7 1.5@1.68 256mb PC800
Iwill KA266 1.2@1.38 256mb PC2100
MSI K7T266 1.2@1.3 256mb PC2100
MSI K7 Master 1.2@1.38 256mb PC2100
Tyan Dual Palamino 1.0ghz 512mb PC2100 registered.

TC is also running quite a few rigs.

When I was a teenager, it was cars that everyone was hopping up. Now its PC's. The one on top is my home PC, it took about a month to build with all the case mods that I did to it.

I am extremely disappointed with my Iwill setup. It's performance isn't as good as the ABIT boards. My best outfit is the KT7A-Raid 1.4@1.67. It outperforms the TH7 P4 1.5@1.68.

Right now I am waiting for the ABIT KG7-Raid mobo. Already have the Mushkin PC2400 (300mhz) DDR, and Tbird 1.4 waiting for it. I plan on overclocking the crap out of it.

[TC]

I don't like my Iwill KK either. Best DDR board I've seen so far is the Epox. Maybe that's why I bought three at once :D

How does the PC2400 perform? Can you post its memory settings at different FSB? It's a lot cheaper (40 bucks) than the High Performance 2100, so I'm very curious.....

I was thinking about trying the Epox board. Maybe I'll put one together, in the next week or so.
My personal machine, though, I plan to upgrade from a KT7A-raid to the KG7-Raid. My old mobo will replace my wifes BX133-Raid board PIII 1.0 @ 1.103(147 @ 7.5). Intel machines just don't do SETI nearly as well as AMD. The only Intel that I now have crunching is a P4 1.5 @ 1.68. It is real good on the average angle and high angle AR's - but a major disappointment on the VLAR's.

Ok, where the hell did they hide the spell checker?

Sorry, I bought it for the KG7 board, it is still sitting in the box of parts waiting. I haven't tried it yet. My other DDR systems are PC2100 and I have some trouble overclocking the fsb much above 136. But as soon as I do try it, I'll let you know.

[TC]

I've got a couple sticks of Corsair 2400. On the Epox I can get it up to 175 @ 8882222. I believe the sisoft memory score is about 975/1033. I can drop the timings to 888332.53 and get it up to 185, but the score is not as good. I've got some cheap Mushkin 2100 sticks, and they won't even post at 160. Micron 2100 will do 166 with slow timings.

Tim, what kind of cooling are you using on the Epox with the MP chip?

[TC]

Thermalright SK6 with delta fan. The MP's don't overclock too well - yet that is. I suppose their yields will improve. I got it up to 1600 with a vapochill, but I had to sell that system :( The MP's are well worth the money for Seti boxes. The one I have @ 1400 does almost as well as a 2GHz P4 i.e. low 3 hour times, once in a while high 2 hour with a high AR. Probably about as good as the older core would perform around 1800.

You know I think people that are into overclocking are also interested in other similar pass times. For instance I'm in the IT field, but landscaping is a hobby of mine. I bought an F250 Superduty with the 7.3 litre turbo diesel to carry stuff around. I couldn't leave it alone for long. Now it's not all jacked up like a red neck, but I did modify the engine. It's easy to get computer chips that modify the stock program to add power. It's also easier to do this with diesels than gas engines. Anyway I hot rodded mine up to 345 HP and 620 ft/lbs of torque. I get some puzzled expressions when people in sports cars try to cut me off, and they get left behind. It's no mustang of course, but 0-60 in 7.9 seconds for a truck that weighs 8,000 pounds empty isn't shabby.

A buddy of mine who is also in the IT field enjoyed racing motorcycles when he was younger. All of this seems to tie together - a need to tinker no matter what you're dealing with.

40 WU a Day Very Nice ! Crunch On !!!

Maestrro

[GuNRocK]

thats awsome stuff u guys got there...i am like doing 1 WU in about 7.5hours now low 3hours would be awsome its like 2x better then i can handle over here....and u guys with like 5+computer folding/SETI crunching how can u afford the extra cooling u gota have teh A/C doing and the surplus of electricty going thru those things i can only immagin the bill being thru the roof unless its being done at your work. i gota A7V(old skool version) with 1Ghz tbird at 1.1Ghz for now and getting soo bad is there a way i can get some more power out my computer would formatting help out i need to bad booting takes a while and now i cant shut down my computer it just sits there when it gets outa windows so i am guessing i gota quite i problem on my hands my next computer for sure is goign to be Dual CPU but intill then how can i get some more of a boost outa my computer since i am at the max multiplier and FSB that my 250watt powersupply can handle with out rebooting on its own at random?

First I would suggest your next "upgrade" be a better power supply. Even basic GHz+ Athlon boxes need more than a 250 watt psu - particularly when you're overclocking. You can squeeze by on 250 sometimes, but it's generally asking for problems, and believe me, power supply problems can make it appear as though you have any number of other problems, when in reality it's lack of adequate clean power.

As for the other problems you're having, I would just bite it and perform a clean install. Back up your data, fdisk, format, and install from scratch.

Let us know what you do, and how it turns out.

Intel machines are good, well at least mine. My box is running a 850E@977 an its crunching a normal angle range WU in 6.25 h and a low angle WU in 9.15 h (I've gotten a lot of them lately). I have compared it with the times some of u are getting and an Athon 1GHz is crunching a WU in 5.5-6 h with DDR RAM :p

So, I'll stay with Intel, buy myself an Iwill DVD266-R, another 850E and run them with DDR, and get 6-8 WU per day.

Well, I'm going to give the Epox a shot. Ordered one this morning with Corsair PC2400 and a 1.4 MP. I've been kind of prejudice against Epox for a long time - in the old days they were in the same class as the DFI and Intel boards. Should have everything by Thursday and have it all ready by Friday.

[TC]

I didn't know the 1.4 MP's were out yet. I'll have to check that out. BTW the 8K7A is the only Epox board I've ever used. I really didn't know anything about them until I tried this mobo. I've been very impressed, especially given the price. There have been quite a few reports of voltage problems lately, but I haven't seen this at all. I have Enermax 350's running with each of mine, and no problems yet. Let me know how you like yours.

[lonewolf1983]

all i can say to you guys with all the kickass setups is *drool*
and Tim :13 cpus
rockin!!!!
well back to my little 1(yes only 1) duron
:)
3 WU's a day will have to do,till i actually get a job
rofl

as for epox ,i am running an old kt133 board
KTA2 ,and have never had any problems with it
(cept when i fried it,a cpu and a ps all in one go!!) but that was my fault.
i find their bios and driver updates up to scratch too.
over here in Aus ,abit and asus and the like are rather expensive(like all computer gear)
so epox is my recommendation on a price/performace comparison

well thats my $.02 worth
:)

I think that you are right. I have always been interested in computers and I just got into the IS field with my first job. I also love cars. I race mine and have several mods myself. I street race it all the time. I live in a sorta Well to Do area and their is nothing better than dusting a YUPPY in his brand new porsche. What was that a Buick that just pasted me? UMM YEP! Nice truck BTW...I almost lost my undefeated title to a truck. Those modify lightnings are quick. Good thing I got a Supercharger or I would be dusted.

[toomnymods]

I've got my epox 8K7A+ mobo running on a enermax EG465p-VE(d) this is the newest revision with the 44 amps on the 5v rail, along with the 2.2 amps on the 5vsb lead.. I've had no probems so far running my mobo with this power supply Usually have 5v readings in the 4.93 to 4.91 range crunching seti using motherboard monitor , then again I'm running a pretty bare system 1 52x speed cd rom, 1 floppy, 1 30 gig Ibm Deskstar harddrive, and 2 80mm case fans and the thermalright sk6.. I'm about to buy 2 more of these motherboards to replace my asus motherboard It's getting killed by the epox in seti times,lol like 25-30 minutes faster on the average wu as well as being overclocked at a lower clock speed asus is @ 1595.. epox is at 1475 Just wonderin.. Will I run into these same problems as everyone else if I decide to use a Epox 8K7A+ as my main system with these devices installed..
Hercules prophet 2 Geforce 2 ultra
soundblaster live platinum 5.1

Floppy a:
2 raided 60 gb Ibm Deskstars 60gXP's
4 80mm case fans
1 80mm Delta on my Swiftech 462
I know this is a lot of stuff for a power supply to handle especially along with powering the cpu with a Vcore above 2.0 I'm just wondering If I'm going to run into problems with the "5v rail"
Thanks guys

Thanks. Yep the new lightning is pretty fast from what I've seen. I wonder what it would be like with nitrous. There are some insane mods on the diesel trucks. I haven't done this to mine, but apparently you can use propane on a diesel the same way nitrous works on a gas engine. There was a guy on another web site I read that did this. He already had a TS Performance 130 HP chip, then he added the propane kit from some company called Bully Dog. He had some other mods - larger turbo, 5 inch down pipe and exhaust, and some others I can't remember. He was getting figures like 700 HP and nearly 1000 ft/lbs. Of course his drivetrain is not stock. The factory auto can't take that kind of power. The only way he could make test runs at a track was to use 4X4. Personally I don't think it will be long before he blows the heads off that thing!

I've got all three of mine paired up with the older Enermax 350 watt. I hadn't even heard about this problem until a couple days ago. I've never had a problem with mine, but then again they're all about as empty as you could get - just a hard drive, video, and nic - case open so no fans going. I would think you'd be fine with the new power supply.

[Morpheus]

Yeah... I've often wondered about that myself... I tinker... have restored more than 3 old VWs... which is why I like air-cooling for both my cars & CPUs.. :) I have a 69 Karmann Ghia (restored) that I am breaking out this week to clean up & start driving...

I also play blues guitar... like to hot rod Marshall tube amps... (I have a custom cabinet 100watt JCM MarkIII I play on now that toured with Pat Benitar's husband/guitarist Neal Gerardo in the 80s)... I modify new effects & collect vintage whatever...

All goes with overclocking.... more, better, faster... and perhaps rarer... LOL :D

Found out today that the 1.4's will not be available until mid September. The vendor that I ordered it from did not state that on their web site. Changed the order to a 1.2 and it won't be here until Monday.

I have a 71 Type 1 VW Bug with a bone stock 1584 (1600 cc) motor in it. I want a Karmann Ghia as well. They were hand made to some degree as I recall. Slap a 1835 cc with a Turbo ohh lord look out :) Talk about a power to weight ratio to drool over.

Maestro

[Mictlan]

As I don't know anything about power cars can I ask:

Do it have a bathtub included? j/k

[Morpheus]

yep... every Karmann Ghia was hand made @ Karmann Coachworks for VW... as a restorer, hand made is a REAL pain to duplicate... because of very subtle, yet perceptable differences in how parts fit together, etc...

I love my ghia... it went from VERY custom to bone-stock... I will have to post pics here..

Yeah man I recognize that ;) Not too many on the road around here, but I sure remember when they came out. Some smokin fast times too. No way I could ever pull that with the weight of my truck. I'm getting about 345 HP 620 torque at 29 psi boost, but my truck weighs about 7,990 with a full tank of gas and me in it. Diesels just weigh too much. I think the International T444E weighs about 1400 wet with all accy. Of course I can add on a 14,000 pound trailer and still beat a lot of cars :D Here's me and the rig. Probably had a server in the bed at the time LOL. Gotta overclock everything. I need to soup up my lawnmower next :D

Ya know TC i'm right along with ya about the big truck fetish.

I raced a gas powered f-250 yesterday. whooped his arse. got on the line, i held the brake, started the diesel up and just let her rip. it was like i was racing a kid on his bicycle. i couldn't believe. so as soon as i start not worrying about my $500 a month truck payment i'll get mine up there next to yours one day.

Everyone talking about thier rides.. hehe :p Guess I'll have to explain my nickname " Toomnymods" This was given to me about 6 years ago from my old car club called Visual Perfection, during that time I was in that club I had the lowest, loudest (from subwoofers not engine, hehe) and cleanest looking ride I spent close to 18,000 just in modifications alone.. About 5,000 in body mods to include Frenching the antenae, shaved the doorhandles, the squirters, the bed seams, cab seams, Integrated a custom 92' Toyata bumper /w a custom billet phantom grilles, shaved the turn signals, the sidemarkers, and even welded shut the bed and added a rollpan w/ custom lights.. another 4,500 in suspension mods Chrome 4-link, airbagged on all 4 corners for maximum adjustability ( the truck sat flat on the frame when the air was released from the airbags!! :p This truck rode smoother than a 50,000 dollar caddy with this suspension and the rest of the 9,000.. hehe you guessed it One kick ass rockin Stereo system.. It had 3 Phoenix Gold amps, 1 Phoenix gold 15 band eq (15 bands for left channel, 15 bands for right channel) 8 12" Phoenix Gold X-max woofers and about 1,200 bucks worth of wiring and interconnects to wire it all together from.. You guessed it Phoenix Gold up front I had 4 Mb quart 5 1/4"s and 4 tweeters.. This truck simply stomped the competion when it came to body mods and sound.. I've got dozens of trophys from usac, and iasca events as well as car show events.. the truck constantly hit 154db sometimes up to 156 in outlaw spl.. Well here are the pics listed down below.. :p

Your Celeron 466 and Duron 850 with motherboards and memory might bring $90. each in the classifieds or ugh eBay.

Something to consider.

Prices are www.newegg.com
board is in refurbished section Asus.

EDIT: Just checked and newegg has Epox 8KHA+ refurbished at the same price $69. Better deal as the Epox has /5 PCI divisor and can go higher than the A7M266 with only /4.

EDIT EDIT: Epox also has multiplier adjustment so if you unlock your Morgan you can run at 166MHz fsb which the Crucial PC2100 will do CAS2.
