The consensus at the moment is to go with the optys. They overclock/undervolt more consistently and are priced similarly. I got my 144 running under 1V at stock speed. :) The larger cache should draw slightly more power, but since they are handpicked chips, they should be able to run at lower voltag...

Also have to agree with the previous posters that CFD is a very difficult subject and probably not worth it. There is a reason Formula One cars are so expensive, aerodynamics and flows are very difficult to manage. As Romeo said most time is used to check that things are physically/mechanically soun...

I found a photo of the inside when browsing around. In this site under gallery, clicking on the top view, reveals a photo of the inside of the case. You can't tell if the have taken any measures to reduce hdd noise. I find a few things a bit odd. Where are you supposed to put the psu? And what are t...

I hardly noticed wgragg coming. Appeared on my chart a day or two ago, and already moving out of my radar range. It's for the team's best I guess.

Next swooshing will probably be compliments of our newcomer randalee.

Argh. And me with my newly borged machines stuck on tinkers for the moment! Almost time to boot up those 286s and 386s again

NeilBlanchard: Actually it is an explaination for that. If you look at the stats for all teams, they all have the same dips and peaks. Some are caused by servers at stanford going down, while most are caused by easy/difficult proteins being distributed. Can't let any bastardized BSDs catch us. I'm d...

If you all can recall the electricity part of your physics courses, you can perhaps remember that there is active and reactive effect. Active effect (P) is the kind resistors uses and is counted in watt. Reactive (Q) is what inductors and condensators use and counted in volt ampere reactive. When yo...

According to this review over at storagereview, the samsung is way faster, even competing with most "regular" drives. And judging from the experience of people here it is acoustically better than the seagate. As for the hitachi mentioned above, it is a personal favorite of mine. Unbeatable performan...

Really nice Max. I'm just concerned about the other components needing cooling. Normally some of the other components need some cooling, although not the same amount as the transistors. I'm not sure if it is the capacitors or the inductors.

Normally more platters equal more noise, but not always. Sometimes they have been able to design it drives so that there are no measureable difference. On the other hand an additional drive always gives increased noise. And if you mount them with mechanical contact they can interact and create addit...

What has happened over the last month or so? The ramping of the team is huge! Where did we find these extra 50% of processing power?

All colours absorb and emit energy equally so it doesn't matter. To make it a bit more clear I mean that black absorbs and emits equally, while silver absorbs and emits equally, but at a different level with the net effect being the same.

Hope I didn't confuse you, I was myself for I while

On my work comp and htpc (2.2G) i'm getting ~460 right now. I'll what happens later on. I've seen them much better and much worse. But I noticed that they sometimes use 3dnow dispite -forceasm on ver 3 of the client. Just changed them to ver 4 with -forcesse. Let's hope I get better results.

Are you sure about getting ~500 per processor? I've crrunching on 3x2GHz machines for a while and only getting the same type of results BCMoney is getting (~700ppw). And I've been using -forceasm. From my logs: [18:18:35] - Calling 'FahCore_78.exe -dir work/ -suffix 08 -service -forceasm -lifeline 1...

The answer is ridiculously simple: Listen! The next thing you should deal with is the thing that bothers you the most. You seem to have gotten rid of some of the most annoying noise sources though. Other things to do is remove any small fans (eg on motherboard), deal with the cpu cooling, perhaps ch...

I'm using a Eheim 1046 in one of my systems and it is practically silent when submerged. Together with a maze 3 and an actively cooled radiator i get approx a C/W of 2.0. In another system I use a crappy small (5x3x3cm) aquarium pump with is absolutely silent submerged. On the other hand with a smal...

I found this article from MS about running scripts before logging in. But since I don't have Resource Kit it doesn't do me any good. Is there any other way to run commands before logging in?

It works fine if I map the drive using NET or anything else, but then I can't fold without anyone logged in. Or can I use net before I get to the login screen? Needless to say I have to have network access.

The same issue with a ram drive. How do I get it working before I log in?

peerke: Yes it does fit the NF7 >=1.2. But with some slight modifications. http://board.member.cgiserver.net/Crazy ... ackdepth=3

I have a computer that I would like to run with the harddrive off as much as possible. So I had the idea of running the f@h service from a harddrive on the network. This works well as long as I do it manually. But WinXP doesn't accept a service to be started from a non-mapped folder (eg \\computer\s...

Don't really have any exp with them but the ones I got with my mobo was folded with ~2cm diameter bends at delivery. I assume you can bend them at least that much. Do you need more?

Seems like shuriken found a guinea pig Some ppl over at Storage seem to be happy, measuring by their standards.

Hope you guys don't mind that an outside top100 guy like me is rushing in at a green pace

Too bad the team has so many grey stiffs laying around, that we swish by on the way up. A bit of resurrection and we'd be up in the 31st spot in no time at all.

One more for the team. :D Giving back for all I learnt from this site by helping out a bit with the folding. Beats the other type of folding I have to do irl. Approx 4 amd ghz coming this way. Way off topic: The Artic Cooler Copper is great for an el cheapo cpu cooler. Got my Palomino 1800+ close to...

Snorlax: Did you get a quote on the shipping from Dorothy?

We just bought from them to Sweden, so I assume they ship to Au
Our post

Sorry about the delay guys, but everything seems to have turned out fine anyway. I'll take my share of 10, unless someone didn't get any.

Good work Jolt! Now I won't get broke by buying fans at least. I'll just spend the cash on other unnecessities. (if there is such a word )

So how many do we want?
Split the original 30 to more people or order 40 instead?

Anyone got info about the connectors on the fans?

Another thing. I think the easiest way to send them is by ground mail. Takes a couple a weeks more but makes it even cheaper That's what we are after right?

I'm ok with it. 10 fans each? It would be interesting to know about the tailing but guessing by the price I think they won't have connectors. For my part Oz can participate. I can survive on 8 fans. I've checked and a 500g letter costs 42 kr (~£25) to send to the UK. The problem is how Oz wants to p...

Overclockers.se carries the 80mm Panaflo. But at $13+.

If you guys are thinking about getting a bunch of them from the states I'm in. Just happen to be from the same city as Jolt, so that will make it a bit easier at least.
