I just started receiving these the other day. Never saw one before. I have a question for those of you getting these: Are any of you overclocking your processors? I just installed a q6600 about a week ago. Not happy with the RAC I was getting out of it, I bumped it to 3GHz. I let it run prime95 overnight to make sure it was stable, and came back with no errors. Started SETI back up, and that is when I started to get the validate errors. Could it be the S@H client is more finicky to OC'ing than, well, everything else I use? AFAIK it has nothing to do with overclocking. Validate Errors occur when the validator process on the server cannot find the result after it has been reported. Some versions of BOINC are more prone to getting them than others e.g. custom versions which report results immediately and earlier varients of the 5.9 and 5.10 series, particularly if CI is set to 0 or a very low value.

What an odd coincidence, though, that I've only seen these when I was OC'ing. Maybe I haven't been watching my results enough. I do appreciate the input, though, as that makes me feel a bit safer about the WU's I'm turning in. I feared I was turning in bad data. Thanks much. :) ID: 671156 ·

I have increased the connect interval to see if that helps. ID: 671238 ·
