Watch those GPU temps! Milkyway is murder on my Tahiti GPUs. Just found out one has a bad fan.

[Alez]

It's the middle of winter here .... can't get the GPU temps high enough

Hey Rob, how about the Milkyway challenge? It's only 24 hours.

[scole of TSBT]

Come on Megacruncher. Get in on this challenge! Good chance we'll have a podium finish.

Half of my cards are down claiming wrong cal version. WTF ? attempting to roll back to 12.8 in desperation. So far not looking good.

[scole of TSBT]

Looks like you got it sorted out and finished well.

[Alez]

On one system I had to revert to 12.1, on another I had to use 12.8 and on a third I had to do a system restore as attempting to install a 7970 in place of a 6970 trashed everything. Still didn't get the 7970 working and it's sitting on my desk as an expensive paper weight at the moment. Don't know if the card is bad or what. Runs fine until you run Boinc then it might run for 5 mins or 18 hours before the system crashes. Going to have to build a seperate computer on Linux and try and run it that way. PITA.

TSBT finished 2nd behind SETI.USA A very good effort for a single day.

Individually, The Colonial Pirate did it again and grabbed a first place finish. My hat off to you sir.

Great result, well done everyone
Sorry I was late to the party, couldn't get milkyway to run nicely yesterday but got it going this morning.

[scole of TSBT]

Not too shabby for just 13 of us against much larger teams.

Doesn't matter Silver. You showed up and share the spoils. :pirate: Good to see Janos here too, with a top 10 finish.
