Too hot to compute!

[captinkid]

My systems are shutting down for the summer (It hit 100F/38C yesterday), the cost of A/C and computer electricity is just too much. I should be back crunching again in late October when it cools back down!

100F/38c you are obviously not in the uk then, our record ever high is something like 101.3f / 38.5 once!!! were lucky if we hit the low 80's f 28c+ for more than a couple of weeks a year and scotlands worse, most of the time its mid 70's in the summer if we ever get one that is its been hammering it down with rain for the last 2 weeks and windy and its not much better today .

See you later captainkid.

There is no doubt that if you crunch using GPUs and if you have more than one rig heat & cost become an issue in summer. In winter it can become part of your house heating strategy. It's 32 degree C in my basement just now which is why I'm using it to dry out logs for burning in winter. Maybe others could use the heat for growing tomatoes, or hash. "

*where local laws permit!

My three main boxes are powered back up now that the temps hit 34F (1C) this morning.

I have been running 25% CPU time as the temp dropped, but now I can run at 100%.

Now I need to try catching those that passed me up over the summer!

[Megacruncher]

Hurrah for the winter! Err... don't suppose there's any chance of you crunching a bit more SETI for us is there? Only asking like.

[captinkid]

I have not run SETI in a few years, might be nice to pick it up again!

[Megacruncher]

Go for it!
You could be all that stands our SETI team's top 100 status & relegation to the second page.
