    Larry's Rule

    A 100 watt CPU for someone that pays 20 cents per kwh would cost $14.40 to power for a month. Am I doing this calculation right?

    Projects for an 8800GTS?

    I'm sure the 8800 GTS still gives more work for the watts it uses compared to modern CPUs so I'd use it. Your GPU uses CUDA 1.1 so most projects support your GPU. I know for sure that Milkyway@Home won't though

    So I'm just wondering...

    The idea of DC is individuals wanting to do good pooling their (nerdy) resources together to make for a greater good. DC wouldn't work if only a few of us were the only ones wanting to help in some way. DC is evidence that there are a large number of people trying to do good out there even if...

    Worth it to upgrade from an i7-4820k to a faster quad core?

    Overclock it! Even if you stop at the point before you need to raise voltages, you'll get a nice gain

    there might be something to this android crunching on WCG

    Thanks Fardringle! I'm not sure I want to bring a dead thread back alive so maybe we can continue here. I solved the heat problem by placing the phone on top of old CPU heatsinks I have that I removed the fans from. They provide a nice flat surface and the phone's temperature feels fairly...

    there might be something to this android crunching on WCG

    I've done some efficiency tests on work units on WCG and the my nexus 4 (snapdragon s4) consumes 4.8 watts when the battery isn't charging. The credits I get are twice what I get per watt on my core 2 duo laptop underclocked and undervolted. Now I gotta see if this nexus 4 can be undervolted...

    WCG: Drug Search for Leishmaniasis WU times?

    i'm looking at worldcommunitygrid.com under my grid -> results status i then change the filters to only show me valid results from the machine and project i want to see there's one where I used 3.47h cpu time / 3.65h total time for 116.7 claimed credit / 122.3 granted credit it seems to be a...

    WCG: Drug Search for Leishmaniasis WU times?

    I'm running a Pentium G2020 Ivy Bridge which runs at 2.9 GHz My times for this project are 3.05 CPU time to as much as 5.28 hours per core for work units that yield from 83.8 to 155.9 BOINC Credit. How many points did you get for that 5hr work unit? Because of the spread of times, it'll be...

    Q6600 to Haswell or Ivybridge?

    LGA2011 has more PCI-E lanes plus Ivy Bridge-E will be on LGA2011!

    Q6600 to Haswell or Ivybridge?

    Only if it'll affect your power bill that much to upgrade since the main gains will be in power efficiency and iGPU (if you use that at all)

    Intel 8-core for $400 - When can we expect it?

    Wasteful in the mobile segment yes but the desktop segment no especially since there are games and video editing software that use more than 4 threads The reason why Intel hasn't brought CPU computing capability up since Sandy Bridge is because AMD hasn't improved their CPU computing...
