3) Message boards : The Lounge : Anyone using immersion tech for cooling? (Message 90326) Posted 27 Feb 2019 by ncoded.com Post: Anyone using one or two phase immersion technology for cooling? If so, was it via professional provider such as GRCooling etc, or have you self built it? Did you go for one or two phase, and what liquid did you select? Did you immerse just the mobo/components, or the whole chassis? What were you cooling? CPU(s), GPU(s), ASIC(s)? How many server/workstations did you cool at the same time (within one tank)? What final method did you use to cool the heated liquid or gas? Did you read the 3M PDF on building immersion tanks? -- Please note: I am not looking for advice, just to open a discussion with people that have/are already using this cooling solution. -- If you are new to using fully immersed systems for cooling: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=immersion+server+cooling

A picture is worth a thousand words:

Hopefully in the future this issue will be resolved. Personally I could never do support as I would take a customer's frustration personally and would end up sending derogative replies/emails which would of course be most unprofessional and definitely not helpful. I am sure most people would agree that anyone that acts in that manner has no place within a team providing "support" and "help".

7) Message boards : Questions and problems : New Install of BOINC Manager; cannot add project or account manager (Connection error) (Message 84216) Posted 5 Jan 2018 by ncoded.com Post: So after looking at the problem in more detail, the deciding factor over which hosts work and which do not, comes down to directly which Version of BOINC manager is running. Version 7.6.3.3 works fine, the new version 7.8.3 has serious bugs/errors and does not run. When you try and add a project or project manager, and BOINC client says "Your password is incorrect", before you even entered anything. If you are having the same issue, feel free to post here. Perhaps when enough people are unable to run BOINC manager then support/development will actually take this seriously and get it fixed. There seems little point sending notifications to working versions of BOINC, telling people to upgrade, which when they do then actually all it does breaks the client and then stops them from crunching. To say this issue has seriously damaged our opinion of BOINC, its development team, and its "support", would be an understatement. And the really sad point of note is the fact that we have just spent over $15K on new hardware to run solely on Volunteer computing. If anyone else is in the same boat, with no one in support actually offering a resolution, such as where to download Ver 7.6.3.3, then take a look at the project: Folding@home, especially if you run Pascal GPUs. Folding@home is a medical research involving protein folding which is runs very similar to BOINC. If you run GridCoin under BOINC, then you will be pleased to note that CureCoin under Folding@home is also available; CureCoin is very similar to GridCoin as both run and reward processing as POR, as well as have a very similar wallets, and basically run a very similar way. http://folding.stanford.edu/ http://curecoin.net/

The message box window is called: "BOINC Manager - Connection Error". Oh I had no idea it was both manager and client app, it is quite well hidden from the user (rightly so). In truth knowing this helps me try and work out what is going, as does your explanation on the password; These are just normal desktops (workstations) with no networking used. Technically I could recompile as I come from a C/C++ background, but it been so many years and I don't really have to time currently to go into this detail; its fine when all the .lib and .h (etc) files are where the source code expect's, and if you are using the same IDE, but if not.. :( I am trying to rack my brains what has changed and the only things that have, guessing, are: 1) Every host has had a major Windows update lately (Creators fall) 2) I stop using Avast AV and let Windows take over AV on some hosts 3) Some of the existing hosts have had the latest BOINC version installed 4) Some of these are newly setup hosts, and hence would have had the latest BOINC version installed Let me try and work through this logically.. Windows update (CF) was knocking out some of our GPUs so I disabled it on a host, so let me try reinstalling BOINC on that machine as that way I should be able to take that off the list as a potential problem. #1 If that does not work then I will uninstall BOINC, reinstall AVG, and reinstall BOINC again; that will take the (built in MS AV of the list) #2 That would then leave the BOINC version; so perhaps I will do this first as it is the easiest #1 When I uninstall BOINC if I wanted to remove EVERYTHING, which folders/directories should I remove? Obviously: c:\programdata\boinc\ Or there any others I am not aware of? Thanks..

No resolution was forthcoming, and he resolved the issue by going back one version, which kind of proves it is a boinc client issue and not anything else. The thing is, the boinc manager is saying wrong password, before it even loads add project UI etc, therefore there seems to be some internal password within boinc manager which is getting/is corrupted. Ageless mentioned deleting and recreating the auth file, which clearly stands for authorization/authentication, which very much seems like the issue at hand. I come from a software development background so I appreciate the difficulties, however we are just stuck in the middle here. BOINC blame Microsoft. Microsoft blame BOINC. I just tried again on a host with no AV (as it ONLY does BOINC/F@H, as most of our hosts do) and that has the same problem. Everthing is as default, no unusual setups. All I know is the error message I am getting, even after I have uninstalled and re-installed. We have been doing BOINC for many years now and have never had this problem previously. We add/remove projects and manager quite frequently as we run both UK Boinc team and GridCoin team via GRCPool. Perhaps someone can explain what 'password' this error is referring to, as no account, project, or project manager has been added to the BOINC manager yet? I find it hard to understand how Microsoft, our AV or ISP, or something else, can trigger a 'incorrect password message box from boinc manager'.. -- I do appreciate everyone's help so far, it just very frustrating ..

How on earth can it be an ISP issue? The BOINC software install's itself including any Auth it does. Everything else works fine, including Folding@home.

I deleted the file; then when I restart BOINC and click add account manager, it recreates the file, but BOINC manager has the same error. This is now happened on more than one host.

Did a Install- Repair however has the same problem. Uninstalled old version and reinstalled new; still has the same problem. Uninstalled old version via add/remove (Win10) and reinstalled fresh; still has the same problem. When you click: add project or add project manager, it says: The password you have entered is incorrect, please try again. The message box window is called: BOINC Manager - Connection Error. This is happening BEFORE you even get a chance to enter anything. BOINC manager installed was the latest version from this website.

Well, if that’s the case then stick with me because I’ll be giving you a brief but complete tour of the main features of Rushfit and some specific details of the program so you can be better prepared to take your decision. The Rushfit training created by George St-Pierre has so far been bought by many people. Unlike other home fitness programs, it stands upon a different approach in relation to its exercises, where everything is based on the fighting style of Mixed Martial Arts. For this reason, I decided to create some kind of guide to GSP Rushfit to complement my review in order demystify the secrets behind George St-Pierre’s training. ETC ETC ETC..
20) Message boards : Questions and problems : Is it cheaper to run Boinc in the cloud? (Message 82674) Posted 6 Nov 2017 by ncoded.com Post: I think if you upgrade (and sell existing hardware) every one or two years, and therefore get a large percentage of your hardware asset cost/value back due to less depreciation, and you keep getting the most efficient hardware (via the upgrades) - then the cloud vs own hardware is substantially on the side of self owning and running. Personally I would upgrade to a i7-4790 or i7-4790K or later so you can make savings in terms of watts/core, as well as a gain in frequency (speed) and new instructions sets such as AVX2. i5-2500K 4 logical cores @ 3.3 GHz (base) for 95w i7-4790K 8 logical cores @ 4.0 GHz (base) for 88w
