1) Message boards : Number crunching : no d/l od WU today after outage/no contact yesterday. (Message 66928) Posted 3 Jan 2018 by shu Post: Still experiencing the same issue today. Hopefully this will be resolved by the weekend or at least some admin is going to comment on it :)

3) Message boards : News : Update on This Weeks Errors (Message 66736) Posted 22 Oct 2017 by shu Post: Hey TimeRanger, I just got the validator fixed. I've tested it on a few workunits and I watched it validate them. I'm going to go ahead and try to come up with a query to tell the validator to recheck all validation inconclusive workunits as well as workunits that were errored for running too many runs. You should see a massive validation run here in a few minutes and you should see retroactive credits even on dead workunits. As a note some units which we cancelled over the last couple days still will not validate as they were cancelled before a consensus could have been reached on the correct answer. Jake Good luck and I hope it's gonna work, fingers crossed for you guys and I hope you have a good sunday regardless!
4) Message boards : News : Clearing the Queue (Message 66730) Posted 21 Oct 2017 by shu Post: Over 5600 invalid WUs in my task-list and another 4900 inclonclusive that will probably end in invalid as well, would have been nice to get at least something out of them, I didn't think of checking straight after a 2 day outage, I hope you guys get it sorted soon.
5) Message boards : Number crunching : Errors (Message 66642) Posted 17 Sep 2017 by shu Post: The ones named "fixed" work, but they are scattered among so many un-fixed I am aborting all. [EDIT] After aborting 170 my system downloaded another 110 of which only 2 were "fixed" They are downloading faster than I can abort them. I should have stuck with my bitcoin mining. Why not mine a good GPU coin until the problems are resolved? Have a look here to hammer in what might be profitable for your cards http://whattomine.com/

7) Message boards : Number crunching : New Benchmark Thread - times wanted for any hardware, CPU or GPU, old or new! (Message 66570) Posted 26 Aug 2017 by shu Post: Hi. Here are some info and tips. All my Tahiti XT (and one Tahiti LE) run 4 WU each at a time. I have standardized at 1GHz and 1000-1050mV GPU-voltage. I have stability tested each card for the lowest possible voltage running Furmark, Cinebench and M@h. Memory frequency does not influence WU time at all. My tip is to check what the actual GPU frequency is during heavy load. GPU-Z show only the value set. Use i.e. HWinfo (https://www.hwinfo.com/download.php) to show the actual running frequency. My old computer 591552 with 4 Tahiti XT uses about 850Watts from the 230VAC grid. No water cooling, only one 140mm fan blowing into a standard midi-atx case with a Corsair RMi 1000W PSU. My Intel based PC's with two GPUs also run cosmology@home on the CPU. These machines consume about 470W each from the grid. Regards Rally1965 Hey there Rally, thanks a million for that input, I was totally unaware that GPU-Z is doing this! I seem to have found the problem this way too. I only run at around 600 to 700mhz clock speeds while crunching MW@home, even when running 2 or 4 concurrent tasks. If I use my 7970s for mining, the full 1050mhz get used. I already increased the power control setting to +20% in Crimson and that has helped a little bit, with the cards using 700 to 900mhz now (and a WU taking about 45 seconds now) but it still fluctuates quite a bit. EDIT: It also seems that whenever I change a setting, the gpu uses the full 1050mhz for a dozen WUs or so and then throttles down again to 700-900mhz, increasing the time again. Sorry for the off-topic as well, but maybe it concerns someone else too that would like to benchmark ;)
8) Message boards : Number crunching : New Benchmark Thread - times wanted for any hardware, CPU or GPU, old or new! (Message 66567) Posted 22 Aug 2017 by shu Post: Hey guys, I'm at around 57s with my 7970 Ghz Edition @ 1050/1500mhz running at the overclocked stock from the manufacturer and running 2 tasks at the same time. Running only one task was more like 60s. It does look pretty low compared to all the other results here. I have tried running only with 35% CPU usage and it didn't change anything from the time compared to the 95% I was running before. Is there maybe some magical setting I could have overlooked somewhere? I am running on a Ryzen 1800x and the most up to date stable Boinc, Windows 10 Pro and Crimson is updated as well. Thanks for any input :)
