well... stage 2 of the project looks cooler ..... smother rotating 3d graphics... ohh.. everyone now... "Ohhhhhhhhh"..... :P
:) I think.? I have been a contributor to UD since April 2001 and have contributed something like 112,344 points with 1 yr 56 days + processor time and a buncha results to another team. But they are a mute bunch and I think I might like this'n better. I have lurked about a bit and watched the posts and now maybe I'll become visible. I have two 'puters working on UD (AMD 1.2 and K6-2 333) and hope I make some dent. Any dent is a good dent. Definitely a "jolly good cause' for unused cpu resources. I'll keep crunching!:D
Just joined the cause hope I can help, don't have a great computer but every little bit helps. The only thing I've noticed is that it raised my temps about 5c degrees but not a problem if I can contribute:)
My tbird has been running UD and at about 58 to 61c since I built it last October. :D We do what we gotta do! ;)
I too, have a tbird running Ud. But a bit cooler than your posted ºC - like presently at 45ºC. Box temp is 78ºF at present. I was concerned earlier cause I was running a bit hotter so installed a new H/S fan and has done fairly well at cooling the process. Isn't a problem, just a concern for me at the time.
Mine normally runs at about 48c but since I've put this UD program on It's been running at 53c I have been worried about it running to hot even at 48c, would like to get it down around 40c I'm not overclocking so not sure it should be running around 50c but am still trying to get it down, just waiting to get a dremel so I can put in another case fan.
I punched a hole in my case and added fans and it didn't really help.. The fan that worked best made my ears bleed, It was soooo loud, so it had to be replaced.
With 5 of em my den is overclocked! It's too hot in here! but it's over 100 outside here. :D
I just have one case fan on the front of my tower but I have the back side slotted to let the air out, but I want to put a fan on the top to pull the air up through the top to get good air flow. It's hot ouside here too but I have good'ol a/c on it's a nice 72f degrees in my house:)
My sys temp is at 35c or 95f so I need to get some better airflow to cool the darn thing down.
im running this now instead of seti. i joined team at thomas12. i just wish there was a console version or something so i wont have to put up with the fancy 3d drawings and stuff. oh well.
Happy to see things havent died down while I was sidelined off completing UD units and posting to SysOpt for a while.
I'm back and contributing again with an OCd P4 at 2.21Ghz :) I just broke 10,000 points recently.
Also, thank you to whoever made this thread sticky!! :)

congrats on the 10,000.... I havent been UDing for a little either, coz my machine was running very hot recently, so i had to reduce is load....... but now i'm back... and i'm almost at 21,000 pts (i'm not trying to top you shark_megabyte, just i thought we should tell each outer how many points we all have, as a gauge as to how hard we are working towards this project!)
I think everyone should be proud of the points they make!
You know sometimes a little friendly competiton is good! Helps the team.
The team I'm on tease each other all the time about the points we make, :D.
You guys need to get recruiting for your board! Get the word out! :D
0 Points so far-- MY computer has not been able to finish a set.
I have an
XP 2000
XP Pro
256 Crucial
Lots of Cooling
And I run the XP cooling Software all the time!
Any ideas? I have tried to uninstall it a few times with no luck!
How long are you waiting for your computer to finish the molecule? does your screen look like this? where it tells you how long it's been working and the percentage completed?Quote:

Yes, what do you mean by "not been able to"? It just hasnt finished one?
What kind of numbers can you give us from your UD agent?
I will check this weekend and Post the info Asap, I am work now and did not look at it.
I wish there was some way to get around my works Proxy server, cause I could have my Work PC pumping away too! Any ideas?
there is an option for when you are behind a proxy server.. .you just need to know the details of it.
Here is the screen shot of where you can do it once it is set up... i cant remember what you do when you are running the setup though.....
In PM, I've just challenged ardent AMD supporter 123eskk to a race vs. my OCed P4 1.6 (@2.21) in UD. The challenge is for him to join our team and pass me in Points Generated or Results Returned - using any AMD system - by Jan. 31. I figure he's likely to enjoy a shot at stomping on a Pentium, and it's the UD research that will win no matter what.
Let's see if he takes me up...
(It lists several installations for me on the team site, but I'm actually running UD only on my one desktop; those installs come from a retired laptop and several OS changes. I mainly run UD at night while I sleep. And he could be running something that outclasses me. So my head start isnt necessarily that huge. However if his CPU is slower than mine I'm willing to alter the terms)
ok.. can i have another person be in on the AMD vs Intel on UD ??? I can get this person to start on the 20th of november... pluss.. if i wasnt in the UD already, i would have a go at watching the P4 eat AMD dust.... :p :x :r :D :t
Sure why not. But watch what you say, I'm right behind you and closing in :D
i better go a bit harder (i lost my intel box to a sudden case of WTF HAPPENED.... WHY WONT IT START UP ANYMORE!??????)
so i will need to get my friends system built soon then eh?
just gotta finish exams then we are gonna have it done...........
BTW: inetl box died-- AMD box goes stron with UD and RC-5 and the occasional Seti... i might have to stop RC-5 aswell.. give more CPU time to UD... :P
Sooner the better.
*fires up UD and queues up some fast paced techno on WinAmp*
:cool: :r :D :) ;) :x :t
I'm just waiting for a new CPU.. I have a new motehrboard, new ram, new case... HDD that i will use when i get it RMA'd. .. then i will have a dediacted UD AMD device.....dammit eh? no money to pay for CPU.. :(
*sits back and listens to some Nine Inch Nails.. while watching the molecules spin like hamsters in an overclocked wheel*:x :D :x :t
and besides. a litlle competition never hurt anyone now.... has it..............no, really.. has it??????:D
I don't know, you can tell me when I pass you in Results in a couple days *teehee* :)
I think it'll be good if we get a little competitive, the SETI team seems to have fun joshing each other from time to time, and I don't have a car so I might as well race my computer :p
I am all set up and running fine~Quote:

Thanks!
Why does it say my Storage is only .98 meg under the profile?
Because that's what it's set to. You get to choose how much space, at maximum, the UD agent is allowed to use to store its work units on your machine.
The settings are changed not in the agent itself, but by logging into the UD site and changing your machine profile there. The new settings are downloaded and take effect next time you get a new work unit.
Great thanks, I will look again! What are the best settings to do the most for the study ?
Why would my rating change a little bit from time to time? It is 115-120 and I think it has to do with my network rating! Weird!
It benches your machine every time you get a new work unit.. If you are doing stuff on the internet, or you are processing things while it is downloading, then your machine rating will be down... so, if you want to get a higher machine rating (although it makes no difference at all to anything) then dont do anything while it its getting a new WU...:t
Hows this for suckfullness:
While using SoftFSB (POS software.. i prefer using my bios for overclocking!) my computer hung, causing me to reboot.. right?
well.. UD was about 78% completed, so, when i rebooted, the UD completion went down to 0% and it had to start again:confused: .. along with the WU's CPU time... not happy!:(
i think UD must be closed before it saves its details on how much of the WU is completed.....
So, anyone else had this problem?
PS - Ending the UD.exe with windows task manager, it does save it's progress...:rolleyes:
I think that may have happened to me once or twice. I don't know what to say except, try not to crash so much :(
Well, its a bit hard you see, coz i am running an M$ OS... (hafta if you wanna run UD.. will they bring out a Linux version.. nooo coz microsoft have to be one of the sponsors... :p)
Windows has its ritual crash every time i start up then it restarts explorer.exe and everything is fine.. untill i use software that makes it crash. oh well.. the troubles of curring cancer :rolleyes:
Windows can be tuned to the point where it doesn't crash, you know :p
I've almost got it with this installation.. the only thing that irks Windows (XP Pro) is some strange collision that happens after UD, Kazaa Lite, and PopUp Killer have been running for several hours.
Well, mine was at the stage of non crashing (winxp pro) but then something happened, and now i have alot of errors at startup (i run my machine VER fat... no lean startup for me) now my nomad jukebox detector has problems, and most of the time, i loose all but about 4 of the icons in my systray... and UD isnt one of the ones that stays!.. so i have gone back to the flashy round colorfull style.. and it crashes less often... but i lost the use of my hacked explorer.exe (i changed the label on the start button.. now it says start again.. :()
oh well.. I hjust need to backup my HDD, then a format and re-intstall will fix everything.. i hope:rolleyes:
Hi all ,I just joined your SYSOPT team on the UD site I was doing the Seti thing but I believe this is a better cause to be involved with so I have both of my computers running a AMD 1.2 ghz.overclocked to 1.35 and and old AMD 450 yeah I know they are slow but a new one is on the drawing board , glad to be part of your team :p
I have been a member of the SETI team for a while. I downloaded the UD software at work and will be installing it at home. After I have registered I will join the team.:)
Welcome to the team rraehal...........:t
Thanks for the welcome. I have installed and registered with UD. I have joined the team.
I will watch my PC and make sure it doesn't over heat but I think I am ready to go.
:) :eek: ;)
