Be prepared for the checkpoint interval to be again put to discussion "I can't participate because of my system booting on update... which one CANT postpone on W10". There's only registry hacks to achieve that.

I had a WU from this batch hitting the 18h CPU time limit on an Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3. That CPU was released on the market less than two years ago, but is obviously already too slow to run this project. This is a sad day...

The scientists have said repeatedly that they get useful data from results that end at the 18 hour mark. Keep crunching this important project.

Likewise, so far 3 of mine have had Job #1 killed after 18 hours CPU time, but I was pleased to see this one go Valid with the wingman completing in 12.58 hours, RC = 0x1 in Job #1.

That CPU was released on the market less than two years ago, but is obviously already too slow to run this project. This is a sad day... Has very little if anything to do with your CPU. It's from the way these tasks are constructed. I have CPUs from 2.2 GHz. to 4.2 GHz. All tasks still went to 18 hour time limit. "I can't participate because of my system booting on update... which one CANT postpone on W10". There's only registry hacks to achieve that. If someone decides to run 10 then they will have to make a choice. Stop running BOINC so the annoying reboots don't interfere or do the hacks to stop it. I personally refuse to run spyware disguised as an OS.

I have a couple of crunchers that have received more than 1 Beta WU per thread.

I have a couple of crunchers that have received more than 1 Beta WU per thread. That's how CEP2 betas work; however, they do respect the profile Project Specific Settings for CEP2 (last time I checked)  |

I am aware that you can at least in the professional version of windows 10 you can set it to allow you to choose one to download windows updates you do this by setting a metered connection. Unfortunately this doesn't work for ethernet connections only for Wi-Fi connections. If you want instructions on a to do this I suggest using Google or your preferred search engine. There are several tutorials on how to do this  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Speedy51 at Oct 8, 2016 4:43:02 AM] |

So far, 6 units out of 17 completed have hit the 18h CPU time limit, all on a hyperthreaded i7-4770K at stock speed. They're turning Valid, though. By comparison, my elderly i5-750 at 3.7GHz has none hitting 18h yet.
