Late breaking news! DPCs open a major can on Team Anandtech!

[GT1999]

Guess who has a GlobalWin Delta Black Label 60mm fan laying around?

ME.

You need a fan, and you promise me you'll crack RC5 for Anandtech, this $14 monster of a fan is yours [with a pretty grill]. Be warned, it's loud, but you won't have a hot CPU. Oh yeh, and I have enough thermal grease to feed a thousand CPU army. I even have an OEM P3 Slot-1 cooler if anybody needs that.

JOIN TEAM ANANDTECH RC5 TODAY! What are you waiting for?

 

[apoppin]

I HAVE been cracking RC-5 for a few months. Now that the weather is finally cooling (it was near 90*F at night), my computer will be on 24/7 again.

Hey Geekish,

Did you start up a mini team?

Russ, NCNE

 

[GT1999]

Russ,

Yep. It's very small at the moment, but I'm working as hard as I can on it. It's like a second job.


.. If anybody wants to join my growing mini-team for Team Anandtech, just use the id "tom581@yahoo.com", and you'll be a part of The Manaics. Don't forget to use Paulson's guide so you'll only be cracking RC5.

Soybomb : you can have as many comps running rc5 with the same email. All blocks add up. I have 19 comps running and am part of a subteam of TeamAnantech : The Federation. Russ does same at a greater level : TA Cube.
And the client is multithreaded so a dual 400 works like a single 800.

hmm, Geekish, I did just get around to re-installing RC5, and getting my crack on. Wonder if the C366 could make it to 616 with that beast...

 

[GT1999]

BA-

The distributed.net client is usually one of the last programs to crash on me when I have my processor overclocked. I can run it (P3-450) up to 620+ and the client never crashes. We could really use ya.

Paulson..

 

[Anybody]

Ok Ok..Im in... Ill have my desktop here at work going 24/7 and Ill hook up my wifes system as well as my system at home
added to the effort:

p3 600 128mb 12gig (toshiba tecra 8100)

p3 550 128mb 8 gig (wifes gateway)

p3 800 at 920 with 256mb and 24 gig (my clone from hell)

 

[Soybomb]

LeBlatt, I know, my herd expanded to appx. 30 computers of vary speeds yesterday under rc5mail@cyber-byte.com I just wondered if russ knew teh "total horsepower"

 

[Ne0]

Join TA or be destroyed.

Russ:
you need to start sending RC5 montly newsletter to your local customers.

This thread needed the 40th post really bad

 

[Pretender]

After re-adjusting my golden orb for the umpteenth (4th, maybe 5th) time, I think it might actually be doing it's job. Cleaned off the old thermal grease, applied a new layer, and I think it actually made a slight difference. I'm gonna try running RC5 for the next few days to see if the heat stays within acceptable ranges, so far it looks good. Hope another 1.85MKeys/s will help ya.

If anyone knows of anything which will cool a FC-PGA P-III chip better then golden orb, please tell me what/where/how much, or hell, if you have a spare one and feel like donating it, that'd be kewl .

 

[Engineer]

A small little bump, hehe!!!

i have tried running rc5 on my PIII 933 (oc'ed 700e) but it makes it go over 50 degrees celcius. when my comp is idle it is about 40 degrees at all speeds so it is definitely the cow and not my ocing. however, what i am asking for is any gorbs or pep66's. when i crack, my comp will not run any other programs and causes it to reboot. please email me if you have a pep66 for sale.

edit: oops i guess i put in the wrong temperature scale.

 

[Pretender]

50 degrees farenheit? I think you mean Celsius.
And you're not using any cooling? I'm suprised your cpu doesn't burn when you open internet explorer.

 

[BiggieN]

yeah, i'm using the retail hs/fan combo from intel which is suck. the temps i'm getting are from sandra. i have the iwill slocket II so that should accurately give me the temps of my cpu right? maybe i should ask this in the cooling forum but it seems that i wasn't getting help there.

 

[Farbio]

i just dl'd and am now cracking for my first 24....you guys have me a bit worried about the temp thing though....i'm not a computer wiz and have a few questions on it...i have a dell pIII450 (yes, i know, build my own...didn't know all i did then) do i have to worry about my comp hurting itself? pm or email me if you can help please

 

[Pretender]

You should download a CPU temp monitoring utility and see what temperature it gets to when your system is at 100% load (e.g. when running cpu intensive games, or leave RC5 cracking for a little while), to get a sense of what your cpu temperature will level off at. If it stays below (in my opinion) 125F (about 52C) then it should be fine. Above 130-140F and I'd suggest either getting more cooling or not leaving your CPU on for long periods of time...while it might not kill your CPU right away, it will probably lower it's life expectancy in the long run.
