1) Message boards : Number crunching : Noisy work Units.... (Message 499101) Posted 7 Jan 2007 by Sparky Post: Has anybody else noticed a lot more 'noisy' work units lately?? Just curious...

2) Message boards : Number crunching : What's with all the 'validate' errors???? (Message 495638) Posted 1 Jan 2007 by Sparky Post: Ok, Thanks... I updated my preferences, but it doesn't seem to have taken yet. And, the last 2 WU's I finished had no validation problems. There's another thread about this earlier. Transient problem?? Thanks.

3) Message boards : Number crunching : What's with all the 'validate' errors???? (Message 495625) Posted 1 Jan 2007 by Sparky Post: Ok, Now I feel silly. I forget where to go to 'un hide' my computer?? Help???

4) Message boards : Number crunching : What's with all the 'validate' errors???? (Message 495616) Posted 1 Jan 2007 by Sparky Post: Thanks for reminding me. I meant to change that. Will do it now...

5) Message boards : Number crunching : What's with all the 'validate' errors???? (Message 495612) Posted 1 Jan 2007 by Sparky Post: I see by my results that it's not only me. Entire WU's are failing validation? Wassup??

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Seti@home and Fedora Core 6 (Message 484676) Posted 18 Dec 2006 by Sparky Post: Well, I just found another neat way to reduce the heat output. Went to an optimized app. Big dirrerence...

7) Message boards : Number crunching : Seti@home and Fedora Core 6 (Message 484220) Posted 17 Dec 2006 by Sparky Post: Ok, I did some more research, and can now answer the question asked. The i586 kernel module set does not contain the CPUSpeed module. Most P4 chips will use the CPU speed module to slow themselves down a bit when they get real hot. If the module is not there (it's not in the i586 kernel builds), under heavy load the chip won't have cpuspeed to slow itself down a bit to combat the heat...

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Seti@home and Fedora Core 6 (Message 484218) Posted 17 Dec 2006 by Sparky Post: Not sure of the exact reason myself. However, It's all over the FC6 BugTrack, and I was a victim of the bug myself. When I went to the correct kernel, I noticed a 5 degree C drop in CPU temp while crunching...

9) Message boards : Number crunching : Seti@home and Fedora Core 6 (Message 483107) Posted 15 Dec 2006 by Sparky Post: Just a heads up for those of us out there that are running Seti on FC 6... Anaconda mistakenly loads the wrong kernel for some CPU's resulting in abnormally high CPU temperatures under heavy load. Check your kernels. Make sure you are not running the i586 kernel on an i686 processor. If you are, check out Fedora's bug track page to see how to unload and install the CORRECT kernel.... That's all for now. Happy crunching...

10) Message boards : Number crunching : CPU Thermal Issue (Message 282498) Posted 15 Apr 2006 by Sparky Post: Back to the original poster on this one...You're notebook wouldn't happen to be a Dell, would it? I've found that my Del Latitude D610 runs a good 2-3 degrees cooler if I leave the end of the machine with the bottom intake vent hanging off the end of the desk... Silly design, that...

11) Message boards : Number crunching : Is it just me? Or is there no work?? (Message 280700) Posted 13 Apr 2006 by Sparky Post: Figures... I just went to a crunch3r client, and I'm anxious to see the difference... Oh well...

12) Message boards : Number crunching : Is it just me? Or is there no work?? (Message 280695) Posted 13 Apr 2006 by Sparky Post: No work?? I see all the splitters are running, or is this just a leftover lag from today's db maintenance Thanks...
