S@H Question 2

Just a quick question from a new-comer (to DC). I see where the SETI@Home is going to be stopped soon, but I haven?t seen an explanation. Are they completing the calculations or are they giving up for another program or to do something else? I am enjoying participating, but was a little dismayed that the program is slated for termination.

Short story: Right after I set up S@H and my CPU went to 100% I got an overheat alarm?????.turns out my innards were so dusty that the heat sink couldn?t handle 100% heat????turns out the case fans were loaded also??..anyway, I spent a little money on a air gun for my compressor and used it to blow out the dust (a hint from my computer tech son) and temp.s dropped 10 deg C., so something good has come of this already. : )

I just joined the team on Jan 4th and after a couple of days of identity crisis, I have settled in with two computers crunching numbers. They are twins: Athlon XP 2000+ 1.6GHz Palomino on MSI K7T266A Pro2 RU Motherboard with 512MB DDR Ram.

I probably won?t post much but will try to check in every now and then.
 
Glad to have you on the team and forums. I dont know enough about seti2 to be able to give you any worthwhile info. It will have the same goal as seti1 but will be run on the BONIC platform. Thats all I know

About the air compressor, some might say not to do that due to moisture that will inherently condence with expanding air, but in my experence everything will be dry in seconds from evaporation.

Click to expand...

Also depends on if you have a good filter on the compressor. 🙂
 
Thanks Smoke,
That was a pretty decent explaination, and what I was looking for.
Of course anytime someone says "early 2003", I am cynical enough to automatically add a few months...................Murphy's Law and all..................stuff this complex very seldom happens on time.
Thanks again
