You have been crunching longer. laughing


Well ... duh? biggrin I've been alive longer too. laughing

My overclocked cards > your stock ones.


Wrong again, grasshopper. GPU's are OC'ed just not the CPU's. But it may come to that too. cool

Overclocked to the max?

I'd wager not as much as yours. biggrin Three are in fried machines.
Speaking of that ... rain off and on today so I should have some time to check out the other 3 to see if anything is fried other than the PS. Then I can make a parts list. smile I have question though. If a machine does not come up, is there a way to tell if it's the MB, processor or both other than doing "musical chairs" with known good parts?

True, but soon your own card will defect to Blizzie's team.


Strange comment ... I thought "we" were on the same team. confused

Then what shall we do DM?


Race you for pink slips. laughing biggrin laughing Been doing it a long time. cowboy


True we're all on the same team, but inside MOT, team "youth and exuberance" needs all the help it can get against team "age and experience!"

Thanks, I figured that was the case. Good news on the first one though it is up and running (sorta). GPU is running fine but WCG won't send any work. It gives the message that the computer is on 99.9% but BOINC is on 0.01% and cannot finish in time. I think a BOINC file may be corrupt and I'll reinstall it after lunch.

The burned out PS was a bit scary. You can see where the wiring has softened and wrinkled. It did not melt but was getting there. sad

The replacement UPS and KVM switch arrived today. smile I ordered 6 PS's today. Slow but sure ..... getting back to normal. cool

Did your surge protector fail and all 6 PSUs were compromised? Or do you just have really really really bad luck?

It burnt out the UPS (which should have prevented it from going further) and the surge protected powerstrips attached to it ... and then fried the 4 power supplies of the 4 affected machines. Actually I feel very lucky as I have 2 of them repaired with just 2 PS's. smile Two more to go but I only have some 250W PS's to test with so I may have to wait until the new ones arive.

I'm going to reinstall BOINC on the one I fixed today and maybe WCG will give it work. laughing The card is crunching OK so far.

EDIT: Did I ever mention how much I HATE working on hardware? I need new eyes!!! laughing biggrin

EDIT 2: The reinstall worked. Now running 4+1. biggrin

Glad to hear that it stopped at the power supplies, DM! That is the last place I would have expected to get protection from biggrin

Good to know surge protectors actually worked... smile
Do they really replace the surge and pay for the hardware damage?

What kind do you have?
