Clusterfuck in the making

[ZERO]

Yet another day with no crashes...

[Christmas]

So what exactly have you been able to do lately?

Oh I have just been running the computer all day long doing different shit streaming video to my laptop and playing less demanding games like ns. I also started running bonic again so that the system would be stressed more during the testing. Previously the system could crash via a solid color crash even if sitting idol doing nothing. So in reality the computer only needs to be turned on for it to be able to simulate the conditions.

So far the test has been very clear that the gpu is the cause. As there has been no crashes of any kind let alone solid color crashes. However this computer has never in 4 months gone more than 8 days in a row with any crash of any kind(but that was when i was moving and it was off for 3 days). So after day 7 ends it will basically be 100% the gpu.

Yet another day with no issues. Currently rebuild is scheduled for 30 days from now. As I am already upgrading the gpu I will take this time to do some other minor repairs and updates to the sb2.

As a result the SB2.1 project will be completed this summer:
Repair 2 broken 120mm fans.
Create buffers for front 4 120mm fans to improve cooling performance of radiator #1.
New GPU
6GB ram
64bit OS
24pin custom tower link connector, this will make tower merging and splitting easier.
Updated cabling, finalize interior cable routing.
Additional 120mm exhaust fan above PSU.
Fan guards for 80mm fans.
Improved noise cancellation.
Ported lower exhaust vents for cooling tower.
4 air zone temp sensors in cooling tower.
Possibly a 3TB HDD or an upgraded SSD.

Damn Zero you should build me a computer.

Damn Zero you should build me a computer.

its not that hard, you should try to do it yourself.

I've done it before, but i fell out of the technology spot light. I used to be pro with PC's, now im just slightly above average. I wouldn't know whats good and whats not enough to build my own awesome pc anymore.

Just ask and we will tell you what to buy

And here goes yet another day with no crashes...

[ZERO]

Well with today it is apparent that the gpu was the cause of the crashes. In about a month I will replace it with a new one. For now I will just make due with this older gpu. In addition I think that once the 3tb drives come out I will build a 12tb raid 5 array so that there is enough space to continue to backup data and also redundancy for failure. Currently if I was to have a HDD failure all of my data will go by by. The added space will also be useful for when natural selection finally comes out and we start servers for that game too. Currently I have multiple copies and versions of our servers on my local computer for testing and fail safe backups. Not only would a raid array offer better protection but it would also speed up access times allowing for me to work faster!
