When the 570 fan was rattling I was going totally nuts. One minute it is a june bug's buzz, then it's some witch's cackling, then it starts, then it stops, then it's some toilet noises... It is impossible to work, and impossible to walk away from the computer because some work has to be done. Torture!

If you haven't seen it, the film "Man on the Moon" is worth buying, watching, and/or stealing.

I'm not a big fan of Jim Carrey, as he tends to star in very stupid stuff (IMO).

But his acting in this film, portraying the work and life of Andy Kaufman, is quite remarkable.

I never knew how well Kaufman treated the audience when annoyed with their requests to do his "old stuff" he read the ~~full~~ Great Gatsby to them, instead. (After watching The Great Gatsby, I can feel their pain.)

He never actually read (or played) the entirety of The Great Gatsby to an audience, but he sometimes liked to claim that he had.

He was a very mathematical man.

No, I even took it down from 800 MHz core to 500 MHz core clock and no difference.
Funny thing is that a friend played around with it bitcoin mining and it worked flawlessly over the weekend at stock speed.

Running under Linux 32-bit Debian.

Well, if you are mining in a pool it is very hard if not impossible to tell a gpu error...

In mfakto, does it fail randomly or in a certain spot?

If I understood my friend correct there is a top-like display that records the accumulated number of errors locally on the miner. It is used for trimming the maximum amount of overclocking a GPU can sustain and that was what we were using.

The errors from mfakto appears more or less randomly, two consecutive runs gives different errors. I haven't found any pattern among the errors yet but the jury is still out.

Thanks to everyone who's brought additional TF'ing resources to bear (and, of course, those who have been doing this work for quite some time).

Because of this, we can start to slowly migrate back to TF'ing to 74. Jerry and LaurV's GPUs have been tasked with going to 74 as of today. On May 1st or so MISFIT users who use the "Let GPU72 decide" option will be assigned work to 74. Then sometime later (as the situation allows) the manual assignment page will revert to default to 74.

As always, "Spidy" will be watching the situation, and react appropriately (read: not allow anything to be assigned for either LL'ing or P-1'ing at less than 73). And, also (as always), anyone who doesn't want to go to 74 can simply choose a lower "pledge level", and choose any other option (e.g. "What Makes Sense", "Lowest TF level", "Lowest Exponent", etc).

This doesn't mean the pressure is off -- please keep the cycles coming!

I just wanted to give everyone an update on the situation so there's no confusion as the pledge level changes over the next few weeks.

Sweet. Glad to hear we're able to fix this before our friend David returns.

Some women I know refer to their period as "my friend is in town".

Post-menopausal women can be much more fun (if you know how to manage them)....
