Moooooh !

Good to see you Maggi

[Maggi]

G'morning y'all !

Indeed, these are busy times.
I even was working about 20 hours over the weekend, but thanx to my fast PC, I could do it at home and didn't need to drive to work for that.

Right now, I'm working on Mary, Queen of Scots, mostly retouching "modern items" in the background and fixups, but also adding volumetric fog to a few scenes and adding a bunch of lances for "stocking up" the amount of aggressors ...

However, I'll drop by every now and then and hopefully, I'll get a few days off, once the actual projects are finished.

It's amazing to see these halls being still in full swing, somehow still crowded by the usual suspects, making me feel home again ...

So see you later !
Maggi

MUUUUUUUU!!!!.....LOL

A long lost [MU] clan member. Damn Maggers you got to take a break and stop by more often.

[Maggi]

Yay ... Pauly !!!

Re-MUUUUUUUUUUU to you as well !

I really try to be back here more often, but you know how demanding bosses & clients can be ....

Cheeesio !

Maggi, any way we can entice tou to join our Rosetta@MURC project? U churned quite a bit for CPDN at the time and you can do it while dealing with demanding bosses & clients!

I can't work out if this is a euphemistic way of referring to the other half, or if it is not a euphemistic way (of referring to the other half)...

dunno ... I'll have to look into it

Is it using CPU, GPU or both ?

However, under full throttle (synthetic stress test), my rig is eating ~680W and that would raise the power bill by quite a margin ...

LOL

don't be confused, it's pure business related, my wife is not half as bad with her demands, but thanx for reminding why I wanted to come back here in first place ...

Mo' Cheese, pleeze !

Only CPU. 680W, your CPU is rated at 130W TDP, must be some other stuff that's rather demanding.

How do you get that Rosetta@home to work?
Downloaded client, added project, joined team, did 'project commands'->'update'.
It says 'Downloading work from server' but that's about it.

[Umfriend]

Switch to advanced view, go to Tasks tab and see what it says pls.

[Umfriend]

Hmm, something seems not right. CTRL+SHIFT+E gives the event log. I think your tasks are aborting instantly.

been there, done that

who said I'd run my system within its specs ?

right now, overall system power usages is hovering around 330W and it started crunching about half an hour ago

besides that are my 670s designed to run a little above spec as well so that by default, the GPU runs at 1.2GHz until the max TDP load is reached

I had trouble, because by default BOINC uses an HTTP1.1 proxy, so I made a config file called cc_config.xml and put it into the C:\ProgramData\BOINC folder

<cc_config>
  <options>
	<http_1_0>1</http_1_0>
	<max_file_xfers>16</max_file_xfers>
	<max_file_xfers_per_project>16</max_file_xfers_per_project>
  </options>
</cc_config>

full syntax for that config file is available here, but I guess you can figure those three options out for yourself ...

Cheers,
Maggi

welcome back!

CTRL+SHIFT+E doesn't seem to work on my end, it only switsches the advanced user interface back to the simple view ...

for trouble shooting, I was running the boinc.exe manually. that'll open a comand line window with full debug output and in my case it was saying

request failed: Error 417

also, when you run the benchmark form the boinc manager, you'll get the readout in that command line window as well:

[---] Running CPU benchmarks

what do you get on your CPUs ?
