Hi All

Still kicking about -- Trying to get back to do a bit crunching sometime soon.

I might have finally solved the problem with the 2 x 2687W's (only taken me 18 months) -- I will give you all the details later of how the fickle finger of fate really F@##D me with the beast -- I will be stress testing it in the next few days

Cheers

Good to hear from you. Chime in when you can. Missed ya!

What sort of time does a PPS LLR take these days?? -- I have filled the CPU cores - looks like about 1 hour + --

PPSE are the shortest and take about 500 seconds (8+ minutes) on my 3770K (o/c to 4.3, HT off). A MEGA unit on that box takes about 80 minutes. PPS I haven't run in a long time but it will be between those boundaries. Sounds like your "1 hour" is in the ballpark.

Are you back to the "Top End" or elsewhere now?

I never really went anywhere -- Just been hammered with work & family (life in General)

Lets see--

Got married in April 2012
Spent 9 months winding up parents estate
Moved house twice
Built the dual xeon November 2012 (it died- I will explain later)
Started new business & got really busy
Jan 2013 moved house (again)
No time to unpack --back to work
March 2013 -- finally get to really study & asses the xeon
April 2013 Wife pregnant.
Back to work (leave the scene of the crime)
Late 2013 many fights with computer parts suppliers over xeon
Move house 26/1/2014 (yet again)
My daughter born 30/1/2014
Back to work
Last few weeks -- finally got to set up my home office & unpack my computer stuff
Last few days -- finally piece together the improbable chain of events that had left me with a $8000 boat anchor instead of a dual xeon
Yesterday -- Xeon back in action!!!

I am stressing the xeon ATM (very carefully) -- Core temps look ok -64 to 68 deg with all 32 running PPS -- One thing I found -- 2687's really don't like anything looking at them - almost every hardware monitor program gives you a BSOD (and a bloody heart attack as well) the instant you switch it on -- only exception is the AIDA64 which is not free but works really well.

I will let you know how it goes

I was just taking a stroll back through my account looking at my old boxes that have crunched on PG -- take a look at this old clunker -- My God!! the power!!! -- It is of course an old A Bridge Pentium 3 --

Anyone got anything older & crappier???

That exists, unless I'm mis-remembering! Quite a few people did it (including me, again, unless I'm mis-remembering). Go to Google Play and search "BOINC".

No, that was PPS Sieve for ATI cards.
