We recently crashed through the milestone of 19,000,000 results as a team. Well done!

I have been trying to catch the V2s at firesale prices but so far no luck! That is a heck of a deal you got them for! Right now they are twice that price.
----------------------------------------What other machines are you running now? I have a V3/V4 board I am still getting parts for but I am waiting on the memory prices to fall more. So far they are in pretty much in free fall and are predicted to continue until at least 3rd quarter. I am also hoping to rebuild my main computer into a 3rd gen Ryzen/TR later this year but they won't be out until mid to late summer at the earliest.

Hey Pandelta!
----------------------------------------I have been trying to catch the V2s at firesale prices but so far no luck! That is a heck of a deal you got them for! Right now they are twice that price. What other machines are you running now? I have a V3/V4 board I am still getting parts for but I am waiting on the memory prices to fall more. So far they are in pretty much in free fall and are predicted to continue until at least 3rd quarter. I am also hoping to rebuild my main computer into a 3rd gen Ryzen/TR later this year but they won't be out until mid to late summer at the earliest. I think I did get the E5 2695 V2 chips in a fire sale. I bought them from ccs_service on eBay. Specs of E5 2695 V2 system: 1. Two E5 2695 V2 Processors running stock (2.4 Ghz) 2. Z9P8-D8 Motherboard 3. Mechanical HD 4. 32 GB or DDR3 RAM 1600Mhz (2x16) 5. EVGA 650 GQ, 80+ Gold 650W (for dual CPU capability) 6. Ubuntu 18.04 (minimal install) 7 Two Noctua NH-U9DX i4 coolers (they will stack next to each other) 8. Case w/ plenty of fans Pros of the system: 1. Generates 120,000 +/- 30,000 WCG points per day 2. Generates around 48 computational days of run time per day 3. Ubuntu does a great job managing CPU and Memory resources 4. No thermal stability issues with proper cooling. Cons of the system: 1. Runs hot! (A pro if it is winter time though  )2. Will run out of memory if you run all FAAH Phase 2 Work Units (not much of a con to be honest -- anything will run out of memory with FAAH Phase 2). 3. Is somewhat noisy with all the cooling fans. 4. You have to buy the Z9P8-D8 motherboard used now on ebay.  [Edit 2 times, last edit by thepeacemaker7 at Mar 11, 2019 8:06:35 PM] |

That is a nice setup!
I am still running the 2665 until I can catch either the 2695v2, 2696v2 or the 2695v2 on sale, may have to wait until Black Friday. With the heat being a factor in my garage though I may be better off waiting anyways. I could swing it but on principal I refuse to pay $500 for two processors that old when you can get 1st Gen TRs for that now that are much faster! I did just upgrade the Opteron 6272 to the top of line 6386 SE but it didn't increase points as much as I was hoping. It was a cheap upgrade by comparison at only $180 for two but the server pulls 400 watts @ just 2.8ghz! I can overclock it to 3.2 but I am waiting for awhile for that move. I am also planning on trying Ubuntu on it at some point to see if that helps. I tried Ubuntu on the 4770k and it didn't increase production at all. It decreased in fact. I ended up custom compiling the entire OS and it only improved to what Windows was already doing so I switched it back. From I have researched some projects run better on Windows and some on Linux but so far I haven’t found a list of what does what better. I haven't done FAAH P2 in quite a while. I didn’t know it used that much memory! I will have to give that one a go just for fun. I just upgraded the memory on the 2665 to 64GB of 1866 in anticipation I would end up needing it for something with the eventual move to 48 cores. |

Hello all !
We arrived with Louloup, and some friends of Base Camp, for a trek in your team. I don't know if you know/have heard of it ? Base Camp concept, so with my 'poor' English, I ask to thepeacemaker7 to explain you (if you're OK, my friend) . I hope we spend a good moment.  Note : Again without translator, sorry for my mistakes. |

This is an excellent piece you wrote there, stefada
 - and what a splendid idea to dig out that little used team thread It's so long ago I saw it that it didn't enter my mind   For old time's sake I did dig out our badge from our very first trek to team Christians  It's from 2004 while many of us crunched with United Devices We used code names for the treks at the time   |

Thank you, stefada
 I just tried Base Camp's very first badge again, and it came out nicely, so if you have more room in your safe, please store it   |
