No, nothing to panic about, but not really needed for me to start a new thread about this either. And if something should go awry with my cache, it's a handful of tasks only anyway.

Tomorrow my Areocool Areo-1000 case comes in, then I'll move my motherboard and innards over to the new case, take the HyperEVO 212 off my i5-2500K, bolt the Cooler Master Seidon 120v v2 on, and will go run some minutes of Passmark BurnInTest on it.

I ran that program on my i3-530 (with the same water cooler, and the fan on the radiator now reversed so it takes air over the radiator into the case, instead of blowing it over the radiator out of the case. :)), and even after an hour temperatures hadn't come above 45C. I've never seen that i3 so cold under 100% continuous load. So fingers crossed my i5 is going to take a step back in heat-spreading as well. It's idling at the moment at 44C and when doing some (light) load it peaks at 67C.

With temperatures the rest of the week being above 30C (86F) and on Saturday/Sunday expecting to be in the direction of 40C (104F), good cooling is required. Especially in a flat that warms up like an oven. Though I doubt I'll do much Seti during the next week / heat wave as I lack water cooling on the GPU.

The case comes with 3x120mm fans, I still have one 120mm spare fan lying on the table (although Twiggles, one of my cats, managed to puke her lunch on it. Complete with hairball. So I hope it's still all right, anyone got experience in this matter? ;-)), and the 120mm fan from the HyperEVO can probably be of use in there somewhere as well. Fingers crossed I have enough fan connectors on the motherboard.

I generally let the kitty vomit dry before attempting to clean it. I haven't had any issues with plastic surfaces similar to that of the composition of case fans. I did have a PCB that was puked on, but I was stripping parts off of it. So after sluffing off dried kitty puke I ran it under the faucet.

Hmmmm....
Do we need a kitty puke advice thread?
I deal with a lotta kitty fur, running my rigs side-off.
But the kitties haven't coughed up any furballs into the works over the years.

I generally let the kitty vomit dry before attempting to clean it.

I didn't dare doing that as the dry food then solidifies into something resembling concrete and smelling awful. Most of the barf was next to the fan, just the juices had spread to underneath the fan itself.

So after sluffing off dried kitty puke I ran it under the faucet.

So it is possible to clean a fan with water? Won't that do damage to the bearings or electrics? How do you thoroughly dry it?

How do you thoroughly dry it?

Put it in a vacuum chamber.

I would think that by installing it in the computer without powering it up for a couple of days, the warmth and air flow would dry it out sufficiently. A blast of canned air to remove the bulk of the water first would not hurt either.

The same advice is often given for cell phones that have been accidentally dunked. There is generally no real damage unless the device is powered up whilst still wet.

Aquarium coupled to a Henry vacuum cleaner, you mean? :-)

Re-reading HAL's answer, I suppose he meant that he put the outside of the fan, the fan-blades and all that under the faucet, but not the actual axle housing. :)

I as talking about washing off a PCB not a fan, but I do sometimes wash my fans under the faucet. When I do that I run the water over the fan blades in one spot causing the fan to spin and basically wash itself. I wouldn't submerge one. The PCB in the fan could swell & separate.

OMG, 2015 tapes? WOW!

Yes the big AP run on the 24th, was 2015 tapes too.

Twice within a 7 day period. Are they trying to spoil us or something?

Also noticed that someone did some cleanup on the tasks list. So it now only shows the currently active apps.
Application: All () · AstroPulse v7 () · SETI@home v7 ()
It is probably related to the updated Applications page which also now only shows the current apps.

I FINALLY got an AP WU!!! :-)

Prometheus is set to crunch it on the GTX-750 TI. :-)

It's definitely a feeding frenzy!! munch, munch, munch....

I'm getting a storm of short 7.07 MB's. No AP yet.

Looking at the list on Exeter; Exeter now has one AP WU. :-)

There's a whole lot of MBs on both systems; but only one AP on each... Wish I'd get more APs.

Don't we all.

Out of 4 AP-capable Wintel boxes, my i5 got 1 - just 1. First one since probably November. I'll take it.

Based on the Sent dates, I got 197 APs in this flurry for my two crunchers, as of this post. As to why so many, I haven't the foggiest. But (for now) I ain't complaining.

Do press manual update--that seems to help.

When was last time when AP Results ready to send was over 1,000? (before these new 2015 tapes)

Hey Grumpy Swede, are You happy now :)

OK, the system is now up.
Cab someone please explain what this is about? I of course made no changes.

Is it that they removed MB/APv6?
If so, what exactly must I do to fix this?
