Hi everyone, Today has been a busy day, as I’ve been configuring back my Raspberry and Orange Pi’s as well as my PINE 64 to crunch BOINC Distributed Computing tasks again. Also, I moved some of the Intel SBCs to their new place as you can see in the image below: These SBCs has been offline since the last days of July and now I’ve put them up to work and contribute again. They are mostly running Universe@Home tasks. You…
Hi everyone, On Thursday, I got my new Thermaltake PC cases which I used to build my 2 main computers. In this post, I’ll share some pictures of the builds: The box where the cases came is the following: Opening the box, we can see the case being protected with a plastic bag: After taking the case out of the box, it looks like this: And now, let’s see how my AMD Ryzen 7 1700 build looks: Now, my Intel…
So, yesterday I moved, and I began building my computers. The only thing I didn’t ship was the PC cases as the shipping would be pretty high, and instead, I shipped the parts separately. Then, yesterday I built them and ordered brand-new cases for them. In the meantime, I’m using them like this: Here, you can see my AMD Ryzen 7 1700 and Intel i7-3610QM machines with an AMD RX 570 and an Nvidia Geforce 1060 3GB. Both are on…
In Windows 10 build 16215, available for those who participate in the Windows Insider Program and are in the Fast Ring, Microsoft introduced the ability to use emojis, so you can now easily use them in your posts and comments. It’s very easy to use them! You just have to press the WIN + . keys, and the emojis will pop up! Then, you select the emoji you would like to use 😜 1. Go to Start and press the…
Hi everyone, In this post, I’m gonna talk about the HP Stream tablets and how to work around the overheating issues you may have with them. These tablets works really good most of the time, that is, as long as you are in a well ventilated room, or a room with Air Conditioner. However, on tropical weather, it does not performs good sometimes. This is because the temperature is mostly in the mid 70s to 90s F, and in the…
Hi everyone, Today, I’m showing you my Overclock settings for the ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO video card I’m using to run some BOINC Workunits. Yes, the GPU is old, but it still works, so why not using it to crunch some BOINC workunits and help in some projects? Yes, it may not be power efficient as newer GPUs, but again, it still works. Will I replace it later? Most likely yes. When? I don’t yet know, but possibly when…
Hi everyone, Today, I’ll show you a video where I’m installing Windows 10 Creators Update (build 15063) to the UDOO x86. Installing Windows 10 is very easy and while the setup took some time to finish, Windows 10 runs very nice on this board. In fact, I used the UDOO x86 to do the ArduBOINC project you can see by clicking here. One recommendation is that if you plan on installing big software later, like Visual Studio 2017, I recommend you…
Hi everyone, Today, I’ll show you my unboxing video of the UDOO x86 Advanced + Starter Kit. I already showed you a brief overview and images of the UDOO x86 so this time I show you the video. Hope you all like it! And check out my first UDOO x86 project here! Post Views: 0
Hi everyone, In this post I’ll share with you my video of the MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC installed in my PC. This is an AMD Radeon RX 570 Video Card. Check out my post with pictures of this Video Card by clicking here! You can get this Video Card on Amazon here. Post Views: 5
Hi everyone, Today, I got the MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC Graphics Card which is an AMD Radeon RX 570 GPU. I’m using this GPU in my i7-3610QM Mini ITX PC, crunching BOINC Workunits, particularly, Collatz Conjecture workunits. This GPU crunches them at 26 minutes per workunit. In comparison, my Nvidia Geforce 1060 3GB can crunch those workunits at just 24 minutes. This makes the RX570 a little slower in that project. It may be faster on other projects…
