Be careful playing with that stuff - electricity is known to bite.

Good onya Dirk, that's the spirit.

I thought we were participating in the BOINC Pentathlon but I see a concentration on the new project ABC Lattices so I'll come and join you :)

Sit it on a laptop cooler, I use a Zalman one with my Lenovo T430 Thinkpad running an i7 3520M.

Good job Tamaster.

I usually have my wife's AMD machine running Simap (when she lets me!) but put some more GHz on it for the Pentathlon. Soon be back on SubsetSum as I don't want to lose any more...

I've added my Lenovo laptop to it.

However, SB are unavailable here. The i7 IB are only hyperthreaded 8 cores, so only 4 real cores like the i5. Put a water cooler on and it will clock to 4.5GHz if you get a good chip.

The...

i5-3570k overclocks easily to 4.2GHz and is approx $100 cheaper than the i7. I like the Gigabyte motherboards, UD3H is adequate for a cruncher but the UD7 has more PCIe 16x lanes but is dearer. I try...

Hello Vaughan ,

sorry the first Line is wrong, here is the right first Line my Friend :

The 4. BOINC Pentathlon will start on 05/05/2013. The first project ( The Marathon Project ) is...

The BOINC Pentathlon will start on 05/05/2011. The first project is already announced: 05.05. - 10.05.: Help Conquer Cancer in the World Community Grid discipline.

The further anncouncements can...

That is an amazing story. Congrats guys. Brilliant effort and it shows what persistence can achieve in this hobby.

Just in time for Haswell.

They have also publicly named and shamed the cheaters. GOOD.

April 8th actually but thanks for the birthday wishes :)

Thanks for that insight Terry1953. Does that mean its OK with a higher rated power supply, say a 1200W or is it still going to be a fire hazard when we crunch BOINC 24/7?

Welcome back AQUAJOE. If you want to crunch for BOINC points "cobblestones" I think is the official name, run the GPU projects especially Distributed Rainbow Tables. The points there are very high....

Gee its hard work trying to regain the world #2 rank in this project . I'm running out of 'puters :)

I just ran it and sent results for my Lenovo notebook.

Vaughan was working on Optima and Physics plus trying to improve in other projects. But ... now I know about AMD GPUs and Poem its time to try it again. I was just running Milkyway for AMD GPUs.
I...

Now that's what I call cooling Absolute zero. Wow. AMDave you're right that will cost heaps.

GPU: Distributed Rainbow Tables
Physics & Chemistry: Asteroids
WCG: any
Mathematics: SAT

We can change our proposed projects any time until 27th April.

Everybody PLEASE let me know what you...

All done. sigh :)

Our friends at Seti-Germany have announced they are running another BOINC Pentathlon for this year. We are invited to participate in the 4th BOINC Pentathlon. Details follow. We need to propose some...

I tried running a bunch of Slinca tasks; they took ages to run and ended in computation errors. I scored zero points for over a week's CPU time.

Useless waste of time project and their forum is...

All my current / recent builds are water cooled using a Corsair H80 system. Sorry no AMD CPUs too weak cruncher performance per watt of electricity and too much heat output. I5 Ivy Bridge seems to be...
