Just because of the fun of it, here are a few images of my desk and my main pc I use for crunching! Share your pics people!

My work area is always very messy!


Quad core i5 6GB Kingston Hyper x 2311mhz 2 x GT 240 (soon to have 2 x GTX 260 216

Removed the 7900GS, Installed the latest drivers for Nvidia 196.21 and installed DVI to VGA adaptor in second card and all is well! Panic over, have noticed though that grpahics are a bit jumpy, but ever time i whack the 7900gs it cocks up not only the drivers but boinc wont connect to locahost either! So its staying out!

Hey People,

I have 2 x Nvidia GT 240 GPU's installed in my PC along side a Nvidia 7900 GS which I use for my monitor the GT 204's are purely for SETI Crunching!

My problem is that one of the GT 240's is recognised by Boinc and is hapily crunching away but the other is not recognised, please see below.

Sorry if this question has been asked before but is there a way that I can track how much work my GPU is doing/done like say an RAC just for GPU's?

If anybody ever needs to store some files quickly and easily you can use http://www.saveitwith.us I use it all the time its really good, all you have to do though is make sure the file your uploading has no spaces in the filename or for some reason it doesn;t work??

For comparison my i5 750 that has been on for 24hrs now is currently at:



It doesn't deviate from these temps much, only maybe 1-2 'c at most all day!

Correct DJ you should nenver apply more thermal paste to a pre pasted Headtsink, its pre pasted for a reason! Sounds like you got some major problems there fusky, the heatsink is seated proberly isn't it I know they do take some pushing down to get seated, but really if your going to be running seti you cant run with a stock cooler!
