I hear you on the noise and dust. Once I get things sorted out I think I will put the main cruncher in the basement. I'll have a lower powered system in the office. Do you mean 100% passive cooling or just something with fewer fans than you had?
Temps were in the low 50s last night, seems a little early to be that cool. I'm not complaining though, I'm delighted for the a/c to get a break. It won't be long and I can fire the crunchers back up.
I'm paying around 120 a month for 200 down through Spectrum. I forget the up, I'm not really uploading enough to make that important. AT&T and another company (Alta Fiber) have laid fiber in the last few years but AT&T pricing is still not competitive for their speeds and Alta service still...
Welcome to the forum, great to have you with us! I don't know if any projects currently have screensavers or not I think Einstein used to, but years ago running the screensavers taxed the GPU and lowered output. I turned them all off when I found that out. :D What projects are you crunching...
I haven't kept up with the latest and greatest but it used to be that if you wanted max credit you were best served buying a CPU with a high clock speed and just enough cores to serve whatever number of GPUs you had. I doubt much has changed in the regard but I think most of us like the...
Get'em while you can.
I feel comfortable recommending Einstein@home as an alternative for space related GPU research. Make sure to join the right USA team if you're new to the project. There are a few USA themed teams floating around there. :D
Make sure to enable stats export as well: Account...
This is disappointing. I was hoping to get to a billion here and that will take years on a CPU. I like the project but I think there are better uses for my CPU. On the plus side, Milkyway was the only reason I used AMD cards so I can move solely to Nvidia now. That will make things less complicated.
The term I was failing at recalling is WDDM or Windows Display Driver Model. It was first introduced in Vista, not 7. Vista was a forgettable OS and that's why I thought it first appeared in 7...that's my story that I'm sticking to anyway. :D
Linux has been more productive than Windows since the release of Windows 7, or at least that's what I've read. XP was on par. 7 and later has a lot of overhead, I cannot recall the name right now but it was an effort to prevent systems locking up because of a video driver crash. Most of the time...
