Another one bites the dust

well i finally passed actaeon one of my seti WU goals i set for myself. Next up is getting in TAs top 500 😉

but in my rush too beat him i think i somehow damaged one of my PCs. I decided 550mhz sucked so i fiddled with overclocking it. The only way was too set the FSB 105. 110, or 115

i set the front side bus on my irongate mobo too 115mhz it ran fine for about 3 hours then crapped out i had crazy mad cooling on it but idunno what happened LOL. I have a theory that the L2 cache is fryed there is discoloration around where the cache is on the slot CPU. It will post at the normal FSB settings but it crashes running the seti disk after a short period of time (i have it set up running the linux seti floppy disk mentioned on this board).

what will this cost me? 2 WUs per day thats what har har!

oh well can any1 say upgrade time

Untill i cook up some crazy upgrade scheme my 2 machines are all thats left in a fleet that started at 5 and is now down too 2.


Azeroth 2100 athlon XP (online YAY! )
Lordaeron P4 northwood 2.2ghz (online YAY! )
Kalimdor 550mhz athlon irongate ( unstable cant produce 1 lousey unit before crashing)
Fart Machine 1200mhz tbird ( windows XP pro makes Setispy crash like mad then seti driver gets screwed up format C: coming! soon!
sisters 750 tbird box ( i build her PC install her software help her with PC problems and what thanks do i get? she uninstalls seti GG sister )
 
Sorry about the 550 MHz biting the dust, Khyron320. 🙁

But that's the right attitude.

One of my best crunchers, OCed XP chip on an ECS K7S5A aka Smoke #8, died several weeks ago. He had a high fever before he coughed up his last WU. I still carry him and the record of his 6.2 WUs @ day in the TS Roster. 🙁

But his replacement is going to be even tougher.

P4 2.53G 533Mhz w/1066 RDRAM 🙂

That ought to make me feel better. 😀
 
Sorry to hear about your meltodown.🙁

On the bright side now it makes it easier to justify an upgrade😛

Not sure if these words are the ones I would have chossen. 😛 But I am glad that my Pii450@504 has held out for the last 4 years at 504. I even ran it at 527 for a year. After a while I thought it would have puked by now.

Good luck and can't wait to hear what you upgrade too...
