Solving the HP Stream tablets CPU Throttling

Solving the HP Stream tablets CPU Throttling

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…

ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO Overclock

ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO Overclock

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…

Installing Windows 10 Creators Update to the UDOO x86

Installing Windows 10 Creators Update to the UDOO x86

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…

Introducing ArduBOINC – Show your BOINC Tasks using an Arduino and LCD Display!

Introducing ArduBOINC – Show your BOINC Tasks using an Arduino and LCD Display!

Hi everyone, Today was another creative day. This time, I present to you ArduBOINC. ArduBOINC is composed of Arduino + BOINC. It is a project I decided to do also some time ago with my LattePanda, which died a few days ago and I’m in the process of sending it for replacement. However, the UDOO x86 came here shortly after the LattePanda died and since it also features an integrated Arduino co-procesor (Arduino 101 / Intel Curie), I decided to…

Now you can see my BOINC Tasks on my website!

Now you can see my BOINC Tasks on my website!

Hi everyone, Today, I’ve been writing a software, database and script to show the BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) tasks that my computers are running to my website! I’ve been thinking on making this since a long time ago, and I’ve finally accomplished that task. Those are just a few of the machines. To see the rest, visit https://moisescardona.me/BOINCStatistics. The software I wrote is the following: You simply enter a name for the host, IP Address, BOINC Port Number…

Video – Unboxing the Prufen Cable – USB Cable with monitoring.

Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to share with you my unboxing video of the Prufen cable that I got from Kickstarter. This is a cable that has a voltage, amperage, and temperature monitoring, and also has a mAh monitor. Additionally, it has a timer to turn off the cable. Here is the video. Hope you enjoy it!

MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC – AMD Radeon RX 570 Graphics Card

MSI RX 570 Armor 4GB OC – AMD Radeon RX 570 Graphics Card

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…

Received my UDOO x86 Advanced + Starter Kit!

Received my UDOO x86 Advanced + Starter Kit!

Hi everyone, Yesterday I forgot to write a post, because I received, finally, my UDOO x86 Advanced and I started playing with it. This particular board has an Intel Celeron N3160 clocked at 1.60Ghz and can go up to 2.40Ghz. It has Intel Graphics HD 400 with 12 execution units clocked at 640Mhz, comes with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage after upgrading it in my Kickstarter Pledge. This is how the board looks: It has 3 USB…
