The chiller??? |

Word to all........ I use as big a gauge as can be had to link the home to the stub, Thankfully It can take It, Maybe Your cable needs to be bigger, Like somewhere between a 2 gauge and an 8 gauge cable as It sounds like It might be too small.

The chiller??? I've got a refrige for that, I don't need something like that, No matter how cool It might be, But to each their own. :D Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Word to all........ Uhhhh, you don't up the wire, you add more circuits....if you want to be safe and not meet new friends, like Firemen. Unless you are wiring a Subpanel. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

What? You mean you can't just run a 4 AWG wire with 60-75 amp breaker, and string together 10-15 outlets off of it? Aww, come on, what fun is it running all those wires/using all those breakers, when just one will do? I mean, how often does a PS short out? ;) Besides, Firemen are the nicest people - I know one intimately! (j/k, of course.. I wired mine myself, and if I can, most anyone could) |

Word to all........ Sub panel was about what I was thinking, He mentioned the cable being warm, It didn't sound good to Me. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

The chiller??? The Fridge here is paid for and usually has lots of capacity too. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Next week's project, I guess. Tore out about all the extension cords I have. Made countless sorties down to the main panel in the basement. Still don't have it sorted. And now I have to work out the bundle of wires going into the 8 port switch. When you add them one at a time, it's not so bad. F one up, and you got a jungle to tuggle. This is the only rig up for now. The smoke has cleared. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

I went with wireless networking on the cheap with SuperG(108Mbps) so as to spread the load. Good Luck Mark. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Best of luck on the final problem sort. My oldest quad (a 65nm Core 2 QX6700) kept burning out PSUs - 1st was a 450W; 2nd was a 550W; 3rd was a 650W; then a 450W test one in the workshop. Found the system was shorting to the side mounting the MoBo via the Tuniq Tower MoBo through bolts. The inside of the case was insulted, a new 750W PSU installed and it has run OK for 2 months continuously now. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Next week's project, I guess. Wow, I sure hope you got rid of all of them and do some real wiring....sounds like you are lucky the Fire Dept didn't come. Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons... And no good credit hound! |

Next week's project, I guess. Lucky Mark was around to catch it happening. Otherwise it could have been a very different story! |

Next week's project, I guess. Yeah ain't that the truth, And to top It off one of the Trucks He made could've come to His House, Now there would be some irony. :D But I too am glad Mark pulled the cords. Later. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

No, irony would be one of the trucks he made catching fire on the way to his house! :-) PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC |

It will probably be next weekend before I have the time to sort this all out. I'm gonna have to run a feeder circuit through the basement to the living room and put together some kind of small sub panel to split it up for the rigs. All properly circuit breaker protected, of course. I might be able to get one or two more restarted in the meantime, but am not going to try to risk restarting the whole farm on the capacity I currently have available. It's just not worth it. And I'm not yet sure if the 920 rig which was on the first power strip that melted down caused the situation and is toast, or if it just went down as a result of the strip itself failing. I guess my 'higher power' was looking out for the kitties on this one. And a lesson for all you Seti farmers out there. Keep it safe.

It will probably be next weekend before I have the time to sort this all out. I am very sorry this happened to you. I only have one SETI rig, and this laptop for general use. As a result of your misfortune, I am going to go through my electrical system, and modify it as needed. That kilawatt meter you suggested a couple of months ago will come in very handy. I like your idea of building a sub panel. At some point I will split my chiller off to a different circuit, so only my UPS with rig, printer, modem etc is isolated from any other current draw.
