The Scottish Boinc Team

Welcome to our team forum. Hope you'll stop by and say hi.

Cheers Alez, new to this just using my gaming PC for good causes in it's spare time.
Thanks for the welcome!

Yeah, we have a live one! Welcome SolidAir79.

Hi SolidAir79 & welcome - you've come to the right place. The folks on here helped me hugely when I got started so feel free to ask about anything.

Could you maybe pop up your system spec as that'll be relevant to most questions. Oh, and whether you use Windows, Linux or both

No problem i7 8700k @ 5.1 ghz delided 32gb cl 14 ram @3200mhz and a rtx 2080 hybrid on windows 10

Thanks for the welcome too davidBam !

wowsers - you can do some damage with that. 5.1GHz would heat a small house, no?

I'm a noob i have a push pull kraken on the 8700k so 72 degrees on one core rest 70 at most and the gpu is at 52 degrees starts 2115mhz settles @2070 .
Im a martial artist so i believe in fighting smart so how do i optimise ?

Oh don't worry, we'll get your gpu running much hotter than that

Which boinc projects have you tried running or haven't you got as far as that yet?

PS : heading to bed now so will talk more later

Oh - and I know nowt about Windows BTW

Have SETI on the gpu and most of the community grid projects on the cpu, have to hit the hay myself fishing with old man at Ballater the morne
Thanks Again!

That's the posh end of Aberdeenshire !! You'll find me in working-class Huntly. Our friends have the trout loch at Artloch but perhaps you're more into river fishing. Enjoy !

Just Tulloch fishery not one if the gentry I'm afraid lol
