51) Message boards : Number crunching : 9 days (Message 1036802) Posted 29 Sep 2010 by Ray_GTI-R Post: The last time any of my farm contacted this project was nearly 9 days ago 20 Sep 2010 23:42:52 UTC Ultimately it will all work again as it always has. (Thread Posted just in case other noise hereabouts drowns out the Big Picture! FWIW I have no axe to grind, no records to break and humble admiration for the fact that in order to upgrade hardware a charity drive was recently, sucessfully completed FWIW2 The main Project sponsors are ... http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/sponsors.php FWIW3 I wonder how many 000 old/new project participants lost interest in the past 9 days. No reply required.)

52) Message boards : Number crunching : Making Core i7 Quieter (Message 1036729) Posted 28 Sep 2010 by Ray_GTI-R Post: Something I have'nt seen mentioned is ambient temperature or how cold is the air being fed into the PC? Here in the UK we are hitting average daily highs of 20C and 10C at night with some reports of snow & frost. So what? Well, that's free airconditioning if you leave a window and/or door open. A 10C drop in ambient temperature will probably result in larger drops inside your PC ... Whatever the outside temperature, it's going to be cooler than the air inside the PC so FRESH, outside air is A Good Idea. HTH, Ray

53) Message boards : Number crunching : Time-outs due to outage (Message 1033292) Posted 16 Sep 2010 by Ray_GTI-R Post: No one has commented on the original posters first question. Agreed ... it's frustrating that such a fundamental issue has gone unanswered. Are days of my energy consumption across my multiple PCs going to waste in addition to the 000's of others across the community? The effort put aside for the major news bulletin and updates on the homepage are very welcome.

54) Message boards : Number crunching : Extended Outage August 3 2010 Problems (Message 1022874) Posted 6 Aug 2010 by Ray_GTI-R Post: I'm a recently returned, long-time, pre-BOINC SAH cruncher. News is helpful. Server upgrades are inevitable. Unravelling issues can take forever. Maybe a new approach is needed? Meanwhile ... I recently added 2 more (home) PC's so I knew, as a recent "new" starter, about the 3-day nothing-happens situation My initial return-to-SAH via BIONC was not helpful. Picture this:- At first installation ... nothing's happening just lots of entries in BOINC messages about unable to connect to server. Check/re-install/repair. No joy. Then a quick check of other forum messages and a PM to a very helpful cruncher relaxed me. The problem wasn't mine. How many people join on a "Tuesday morning" (evening where I live) try, try again, then again maybe days later then just give up? One simple Message via BOINC would keep people happy ... maybe "Planned project outage started (date/time). Planned resume expected (date/time)" i.e., not your fault, don't spend hours/days trying to sort out a solution for a problem that doesn't exist or bother other crunchers who may/may not reply. Just trying to be helpful here!
