It's go time!

Murpy and his stupid laws put a finger in my eye
I'm on the go, so had to TeamView in to fire up.
Guess which rig didn't answer, yes THAT rig... bleh.
 
Anyway's a good handful of cores is on the job.
Gonna be a fun race.
 
May the Force be With you
 

Smoke? Figuratively speaking I hope.

Smoke? Figuratively speaking I hope. 

Hey I once had a d-link wireless router decide to catch fire on me. Trying to explain that to the radio shack people was fun. "Sir there is signs that this unit has some water damage", "Well yes when I noticed it was on fire I unplugged it and put it in the sink". Pretty sure that cabinet still has a scorch mark on it. 
 
And these LLR's are taking ages on my x5650, almost thinking about seeing if I can get the memory from its ~1500mhs up closer to its rated 2000mhz. 

I'm not sure if the memory boost would effect it too much. Hyper-Treading disabled probably would if it isn't already. I think those are just 1 generation too old to run these llr's optimally, like my Yorktown c2q's. I'm running 2 threads on 1 of them anyway. What's you time per unit guesstimate?

My latest batch running my i7-4820k @ 4.4Ghz with DDR @ 2133Mhz (Set by core multiplier alone, 44 in this case, block freq @100 MHZ) So Overclock to your hearts content, just turn off Hypter-Threading and don't touch the block frequency! 10 ½ hours!! So auto OC is out of the question as that tweaks everything and generally gives you weird ram speeds, which means it tweaked the block freq. Rig is running at 90C.. First time I've seen my CPU temp above my GPU  so that'll be my max for this air cooled setup. Which is an Arctic i-11, plus a 120mm in and 2 80's out for ventilation.
 
 

Again with these llr's I find that running 3 cores instead of 4 will deliver more packages over 5 days. 4 days would be a push and 3 days would favor running 4 cores. The problem is I'm too stubborn to admit it to myself, and instead try tweaking for the perfect OC. Next time we run llr's in the challenge, somebody please please, set me straight.
These are my findings on my SB chips and not telling you all what to do.
I think I'll deliver 3 less than I would have if I started with this in mind. I also have 3 threads running on my ancient's for extra frosting which will help make up the 3 lost ones.
3 threads on my rigs.
2600k-1  11 hrs.
2600k-2  11.5 hrs
2500k     12 hrs
Add 4 hours to those times for 4 threads.
 
Edit: I just wanted to say that the above times are actual and not what Boinc reports. Also, I redid the math with a calculator this time, and figured that the 3 threads passes the 4 threads near the beginning of the 4th day, so even better than I thought.

Yea I read the part about turning off HT when I had a batch of them at about 15%. Right now that batch is about to finish with a total run time of around 30-33-ish hours. Thinking it will be around 27 hours with HT off from the start. I suppose its not too bad but I guess its starting to show its age. Once I'm done with college and get settled with a good job I'll be much more of a threat 

Two days into the Challenge and we have settled at a nice sixth so far.
One nice thing about this challenge, rankings tend to bounce far more than a challenge with shorter wu's.
 
Making it all far more interesting/ exiting to follow.
 
So far, we have seven participants from our team, and those magnificent seven are:

I also think it's interesting to see how many participants each team has with them, so here goes. Top twenty team list.

Edit Ouch.. Totally forgot what happened when I paste a nice spreadsheet list into this ver. 1.0 text box. When posted, all text gathers in one big pile of.... unreadable "stuff"
Hope I got it readable.

About time i started showing up! stupid me i had more than a days worth of cache on my main pc b4 the challenge started so 2 days down the drain! Eh, I wasn't about to chuck a possible prime just for points..
 
time to start crawling up that list

Exiting times.
We change standings back and forth between 5th and 6th. Meaning we do great.
Our overall standings in this Challenge series is 6th. We'll see if we can keep this spot.
Much can and will happen this last hours. Some rig's are working on their last batches now, so stay tuned.
 
I was thinking. Now, in those last hours, when we see Our rig's won't make another batch in time.
I thought it might be a good idea to put PG to "No New Tasks", then adjust WCG to Resource share 0.
Then open for receiving tasks from WCG.
Then WCG will take over as Our cores run out of PG tasks.
This would help out Our troopers over at the 10th Birthday Challenge the last day.
Giving us a Nice boost just before the finish line.
Perhaps giving Rechenkraft.net a run for their Money ?

This is a good idea, but after PG's are done I'm going to reboot and re-enable HT to give WCG full powa!

I'm switching over to WCG as well  probably tomorrow morning. Don't forget there's still 26 hours left. Full power to the end!
 
Not doing too shabby myself even though I botched 2 days of processing..

Climbing fast bro. Good Job
 
And thx for switching over to WCG.
 
 
Yodap too. Thx for switching.
I was thinking, rebooting to enable HT/ Offf.
WCG WU's will benefit from HT/ Off.
I'll follow yodap on this one.

Outstanding job everyone.
The 321LLR's are hard core WU's. Putting crazy strain on Our Equipment.
To manage what we just did, tells the world we are serious hard core crunchers.
I'm proud of crunching With you guy's.
 
Thank you
