The last time I looked we were about 900,000 ahead of the closest team.

Yeah, it LOOKS good, but ya can't go sitting on your laurels, whatever they are. Probably uncomfortable, anyway.

ARS-outlnder
Well at least if you were on this team you would team members working with you
What happened to your team?
Do you want Me to go Poke them
I haven't done a good poke in a long while It Would be fun
And you know I am a good poker ask My wife

[outlnder]

Poke away, my friend. But beware, a poked ars is a mean ars.

[Bigred]

Poke away Lauren.

Maybe they will declare war.

Then we would have to crank it up to 100%.

[LAURENU2]

Poke away, my friend. But beware, a poked ars is a mean ars.

I can see why you are the only one working this project outlnder
there is not even a thread about QuantumFIRE Alpha in the ARS forum
outlnder are you trying to keep this all to your self
to get a commanding lead over your team mates

[Paratima]

Ha Ha I resemble that remark

I figured you wouldn't let that one get by.

[outlnder]

I just wanted to say "thank you" to all Free-DC'ers that are doing such a great job in testing this project. You guys are really great. Keep up the good work.

From all of us here at Ars Technica- THANKS

[LAURENU2]

I just like trying to brake things
Mother use to called me a devil child
Because I took every thing apart

[LAURENU2]

I figured you wouldn't let that one get by.

Paratima you Know I let vary little get by me once I get going

[Paratima]

Paratima you Know I let vary little get by me once I get going

Yes, Lauren, I think we've ALL noticed that. You da man!

By the way, does it really take three days to re-aim your fleet?

[LAURENU2]

Sad but true Yes if it is a new project I have to log onto each node (60+)
and attach each node to the project
And with my life I only have little chunks of time to do tasks here so it adds up

LQQK Again Now were all most 2 Mil ahead of the closest team

Well, unfortunately today is the start of my summer slow down. I walked into the shop this morning and it was 36 degrees celcius(97f). I don't want to have setup the air conditioners yet. So almost all of my CPU processing will stop for the summer. Hopefully it won't get to the point that I have to start shutting down GPUs. Ok lauren here is your chance to catch up.

[LAURENU2]

Well at least you have AC I just push them till they auto shutdown or die

Thinning the herd? Darwin would be proud!

The Power supply is the weakest link

The trick to working in 85 + temp is lots of air movement
I exhaust close to 3000 cubic feet per min.
At that rate I replace all the air in the entire Garage every 2.5 min
50 Nodes stacked on Racks in a 8X8X8 room produces a LOT of heat

The trick to working in 85 + temp is lots of air movement

The side effect of that is the fans make lots of white noise so you cannot work in the same room as all the computers. I got a 6.8KW air conditioner installed in my server room and it brought the temps from a max of 40C to the current setting of 24C. I can go lower but don't want to max out the air con.

Bring on Winter
