    Sad times

    Just noticed that team 10 has dropped out of the top 100! :( I was never a big hitter but remember the glory days of folding and Seti previous to that. Was good fun.

    Triggers Broom - Advice needed

    So is there any advantage with these AIO coolers over something like a Noctua DH15, or are the gains not worth the hassle of watercooling? There are also more fans, does that mean more noise or less because there is more overall cooling and so they spin less?

    Probably not! I just like their stuff and hear good things about the ease of their MB setup. This is one of the areas i am out of date! I dont really need wifi on the board (don't know if non-wifi bords are cheaper - or if they even do that?!) I just want 2 PCIe gen4 m.2 slots (at least) and a...

    Hi Thanks, been a while since posting in here! I have been looking at the 5900x as well as it gets good reviews and to be honest, i'm sure it would be more than enough. As you can see from my current setup i dont upgrade often, so it was more of a "Get the best to cover all eventualities"...

    Hi All, The trusty old Gigabyte P55-UD5 motherboard in my main computer has finally had its time and developed a fault that causes it to power off randomly or not start at all. I've gone through all the usual testing (replaced the PSU as well) to no avail. So it seems like as good a time as any...

    8th Annual BOINC Pentathlon: 5th May - 19th May 2017

    My test was partially successful, uploads were blocked, but as you say, it seems Boinc will not download more work until it can upload completed tasks. Interestingly however, when i disabled the rule and allowed uploads, Boinc's first action was to download the new tasks before uploading the...

    But that will stop getting new work as well ahead of the competitions once you you have finished a your allocation, would it not? If you can just block the outbound traffic, you can bunker and still download new tasks? Windows 10 firewall rules are very easy to setup.

    8th Annual BOINC Pentathlon: 5th May - 19th May 2017

    Anyone tried using windows firewall to block the outbound boinc traffic? I've just set up a rule to do so in the hope i can still get new tasks and bunker the rest. Looks like the deadline is 10 days for Zika.

    I'm happy to help. We're signed up as a team, right, I don't have to do so individually? Also, was it decided which projects?

    Thanks for the news! Been crunching for team 10, on and off, for years! :) Have been active with my current setup (GTX980 on an old i7) for a few months now, but have not crunched for a couple of weeks as was on holiday. When I got back last week I decided to crunch 24/7 to make a push to...
