Dear Team Captain,

We’re excited to announce that World Community Grid is becoming part of Krembil Research Institute, a leading scientific research institution in Toronto, Canada. We’ll be led by Dr. Igor Jurisica, Senior Scientist at Krembil and longtime World Community Grid collaborator, as we begin our next chapter.

You can learn more about this transition on our website.

Teams—and especially their captains—have always been crucial to the success of World Community Grid’s projects. All active projects are still running, and they need donated computing power as much as ever. We hope that we can count on your continued participation and support.

Thanks for all you do for humanitarian scientific research,

The World Community Grid team

Dates are in season, so here’s an update:

Dear volunteer,

The next time you visit World Community Grid’s website, you’ll probably notice a few changes. While we’re keeping our name, we’ve updated our look, including our logo. We’re also making changes to our website, such as adding information to our homepage that volunteers and visitors told us they wanted to see more easily.

Additionally, we’ve created an easy way for volunteers to see important milestones in their contributions to World Community Grid research, such as when a volunteer joins World Community Grid, earns a badge or their team wins a challenge.

We’re grateful, now more than ever, for your support of humanitarian scientific research.

ESPECIALLY the Childhood ones…and the Rai-SINS!!!

[Breadmaker]

Scientists need to wipe out the scourge known as rai-SINS!!!

Yeah, website, I know I’ve posted more than 25% of the replies here!!! Sheesh!!!

@Breadmaker

I know I’ve posted more than 25% of the replies here!!!

And for that, we’re THANKFUL!!!

If Breadmaker didn’t reply, it would be a lonely, lonely thread for 169er.

[Klaymen]

I’ve been dethroned!

[1695814]

This can only mean one thing…Klaymen’s going computer shopping this weekend!!!

[Celalta]

I need to go computer (parts) shopping, I replaced the thermal paste on my CPU, but it’s still running no lower than 95° C with no load. Actually, I should reopen the case and make sure it’s not the fan that’s the problem, but my computer is offline until I deal with it.

[Klaymen]

Funny you should say that I bought a CPU and the went to Best Buy to get a motherboard - but not for this but to just be updated for Windows 11 (if that ultimately even becomes necessary).
But I couldn’t get it to work, using some parts from my old computer. I even tried a second motherboard but I couldn’t get it to even power up. I was fairly confident I was doing things right, the motherboard setup is extremely similar to what I have already.
So for now I’ve got a processor and nowhere to go with it. The processor would be 12 threads instead of 16 so I’m guessing if I were able to implement it I might get lower points.

[Klaymen]

Turns out I bent a pin putting the CPU in and then spent the better part of a day and two of Best Buy’s motherboards trying to diagnose the problem. I learned a lot, but I’d rather have not suffered so much.
