There are two forums where you can get clear information without any offtops:
News and Technical News. You can read them and not waste your time on this forum...

I meant not YOUR posts, I meant two posts with obvious primeval sounds, after which I started to criticize.

And you speaking about offtopic is kinda like thief screaming "Get the thief!".
So let us keep it civil.

P.S. An ignore list would solve everything, but there isn't, unfortunatelly.

Of course there is an ignore list. http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/edit_forum_preferences_form.php near the bottom.

Awesome, thank you. It is gonna take some time.

Mine is near the top these days. :/

Through all of the moaning did anyone notice the upload server has been going on/offline a few times today?

ETA for the Lunatics v0.40 installer is tomorrow, provided Eric gives us the green light, and I get all the information that I need to put into the release notes.
If you were unhappy with anything regarding those from last time NOW is the time to tell me.

The release notes were OK, what would be nice to have is a list of the included apps for each installer on the "view file" page. After I installed Win7 x64 on my desktop machine which had 32-bit WinXP before that, I downloaded the 64-bit installer just to find out that both apps I need are 32-bit anyway (SSE3_AMD and AP).

ETA for me to get back to a GTX-560 is now, just got the RMA return and have it up in the FX-4100 machine. The GTX-460 goes over to the i3-2120 and now I wait until Thursday for the HD7750.

I just got 300Kbs downloads from Seti Beta, seems the Main project is out of work, and the cricket graph has dropped to minimal downloads.

Claggy

Hmmm . . . .

ATM the splitters have split their last.
And Ready to send is spent to nowt.
What a colourful SSP we have right now,
Or is it just that there is nought left.
A big day tomorrow on that far western shore,
Will we see the release of v point fore.

I just got this brand new laptop, spent hours updating over a slow M$ connexion, finally got BOINC/Lunatics installed, then find there's no work... Ah well, no-one ever said that life had to be fair. Time to dowload ghostscript then.

Looks like we're back now....come and get 'em.

Right; got a few CPU tasks but nothing for the GPU yet. Hmm, MobileMeter doesn't want to talk to the new motherboard, have to find some other way to monitor CPU temps.

OK, just reported in my first brace of GPU results. No wingmen supporting me yet, tho'.
I found a prog called CPU Thermometer that will do for the moment. It reports the i7 cores at 70-71 C for the most part, at 2.4 GHz, but occasionally the TurboBoost kicks in to 3.2 GHz and the temps immediately flick up to 80 C. When TB drops out again they fall to 74 C and then creep back down towards 70 C. GPU-Z is reporting the GT 555M at 94-98% usage and temp 64-66 C running two tasks.

Hey bro

This will give you Siv 4.27 which will do a lot more than just monitor temps
In Siv under windows Boinc status there is a Auto Retry button and it does just that.
Saves you from sitting with your finger on the retry now button


Check it out.
Ray did a really good job

Re: SIV 4.27 I downloaded it Friday, GREAT JOB. Best info ap I've ever used. Extremely helpful fine tuning my CPU workload.

Speaking of CPU workload, I just got dumped on. LOTS of MB and one AP (Which is still downloading). Looks like something got fixed.

Did you say laptop? You want TThrottle ;) On a Windows OS that is. And a cooling pad (external fans) can do wonders for temps.

These laptop CPUs seem to be quite robust. Or is it just mine?... i5 M480 - I'm running it at ~80C for half a year now (goes up to 90C when running at least one VLAR).
And yes, I know running it that hot is BAD but I desperately want to destroy it (as an excuse to get a new laptop because I loathe the current one).
Works just fine and produces no errors or invalids either... :-(

Mobile CPU's just seem to take the abuse and like it. The thermal limit for your chip seems to be 105ºC btw.

I have overclocked my old Pentium M 1.5 GHz machine to 2374 MHz. It was a little unstable at the full 2.4GHz. Rebooting once every 3 or 4 days so I dropped it down a notch. The max temp was in the 70-72ºC range. While mostly running around 65ºC. Which is well below the thermal max of 100ºC for the chip. It is able to crank out a RAC in the 600-700 range to boot. Far better than the 250-300 it as doing at the stock speed.

You can't... they are bulletproof:) They are built to go 30C higher than desktop (max for desktop is low 70's, but max for laptop is low 100s!).
So even if you let your cat sleep on it, it'll just shut down before it overheats.


Edit: Beaten by HAL once again...
You'll have to come up with a better way of destroying it;)
