Just run two instances of F@H and you can get the processor up to 100% utilization without using the SMP client.

Holy Winds, Batman!

Then it was probably just a collection server burp, they do it all the time.

try turning off "use Internet Explorer settings"

Folding on the Blackberry 8800? probably never

Folding on the nVidia 8800? last I heard nVidia still had that bug in the driver

One of my computers just sat there, chugging away at units and attempting to send them every 30 minutes. Every time it would attempt to send, my network would blow apart. Latencies into the 5 second range. (not milliseconds - seconds!) It could fetch units and work on them, but the destination serve...

In my fanless watercooling setup, I used two externally-mounted transmission oil coolers (each about the size of the side of the PC) When the summer month temperatures exceeded 95F, I would set a room fan to blow on the radiators, ensuring a cool processor.

I have two computers, each with multiple processors. As the previous poster noted, you need to run each of the processes in its own directory. You also need to run the console setup program. The setup program will ask you the process number. The first process is 1, the second is 2, etc. You will als...

It has been a while since I first started folding for SPCR (I believe I started when there was less than 40 or so).

My 2 year old Enermax power supply has seen 12 changes of fans, has been run 8 hours with no fan melting out every bit of glue holding it together, its case cut and filed with the PCB in place, and most of its external wires cut and bobbed. If the motherboard in that computer had not given out, it w...

I built a dual Opteron system after the holidays, all it appears to get are these 600 point units.

Just happened to check my stats today, lo and behold I am above 100K

My external radiator watercooling setup has been running for about half a year now. The only fan in the case is slow 80mm fan in the PSU. Constantly runs either games or folding@home for 100% CPU usage.

Don't feel bad about missing my 50K, since I missed it as well. It is good to be noticed, however.

As a note, I sent an inquiry to Swiftech regarding pump orientation. They responded saying that mounting the pump with the inlet facing upwards will not pose any performance or durability problems.

I use external radiators, all heat from the CPU and GPU is dissipated outside of the case. The only fan running in my system is a 80mm in the PSU. Over the weekend, it was fairly warm, 80 F. Temperature for CPU 36C, HD 37C, case 38C I am still waiting for a really hot day to see how this system reac...

The VIA chips are not good at number crunching.

My original design for a passive radiator was similar to the Zalman design, but I had to scrap it because of cost (too much machining) I eventually decided to make one use two truck transmission coolers, which works extremely well.

no

oops, my PSU is actually a EG465P-VE-FM I probably would have paid that much since it was a replacement for a previous 'gift' power supply that blew up. I have had solid experience with Enermax PSU's. I know that they are happy running hot, since I melted one for 8 hours with no fan and it is still ...

I have an Enermax EG651 that I am using in a dual Intel 2.8, as soon as I got it, I yanked out the 92 mm fan and taped over the hole. The 80 mm fan on the outside moves very slowly and produces little noise.

Look at the stats more closely, there are people that have gone up 32 ranks today by turning in -613 points. So, unless negative points are worth far more than positive points, the stats system is broken.

I have dual 2.8 Xeon, so that is probably a reason why. I have been disappointed by the usability of both Ceramique and AS5, definately not as easy to get a good thermal connection like AS3.

I have not been able to get the 603V down below 46c idle 55c load. What processors do you have? Are you using the stock Intel attachment mechanism? What thermal compound?

SETI@home routinely sends the same data packet to several different users around the world. If all the results agree, then at least they have some basis to assume that the program is working as intended. In any system, there can be flaws. The GROMACS core itself could have a fatal flaw that renders ...

efcoins - look up "electrolyte" The water in your system is an electrolyte, and will transfer ions between the aluminum and copper, causing corrosion.

turns out I had a bad memory stick, maybe that was the cause of this error

BX gets you RPM monitoring

PVC tubing is not a barrier to biological life - they will get in, and they are already in the water you will use. You can only manage them, you cannot defeat them. (Why does this sound like a B rate scifi flick?)

Biologists have a name for the warm wet environment inside of a watercooled computer: incubator, a perfect media for growing all sorts of nasty critters. I do not use antifreeze. The primary function of antifreeze inside of an automobile is to change the freezing and boiling point of water (it also ...
