Actually, it was from project 638. So let me get this straight.. The workunits can come from any number of projects, and then they are assigned to clients at random, right? The workunits require different amounts of CPU work, and therefore there is this "points" score assigned, which is a function o...

http://folding.stanford.edu It's a distributed computation thingy like SeTI, does protein folding to solve medical problems, or something.

This may not apply to you EU guys, but a handy tip for anyone in the states is that the Pringles potato chip cans are exactly 80mm in diameter. I am sooo not worthy Rusty.

Re: Pabst 80 mm vs panaflo 80 mm? dBA
Any thoughts? Yeah, firstly, I don't believe the 12dB figure - I;ve never tried one of these fans but I seem to remember people here and elsewhere say that it ain;t 12 dBA. Secondly, in my PSU I wouldn't use a fan which at 12V has low cfm. The reason for this is when you get hotter than average wea...

Just guessing but the way I see it the problem here is that of vibration around the axis between the screw points.. So to prevent that just use some rubber something-or-other(tm) to fill the gap. i.e. if you have two screws in diagonal corners then glue some rubber washers in the other corners. Neve...

Here's one review . They find that it actually raises the temp. I don't see how it could work effectively without increasing the heat dissipation surface area a lot. This only transfers heat from one side to the other. It's also weird to measure temps near the spindle.. AFAIK most heat is at the sid...

Interesting TT duct and ZM-80C-HP reviews
I've just spotted pointers to these two reviews on frostytech, one for the Zalman ZM-80C-HP and the other for ThermalTake ducting mod . What's interesting (for me at least) is that the duct doesn't help in cooling at all, but does have a positive effect on the noise of the fan. It's conceivable that...

By the way... how do you like the case? Is it quiet? Do you find your temps skyrocketing from poor airflow (thanks to the stamped-in fan grill).

The 7000-Cu review can be found here . Personally I'm against the 7000 because it's so huge, I can;t use my own fan and I can't duct it. I think I'm going to go for the PAL8942 or the SLK-900 so that I can use my own fan in suck mode and then duct out of the back. Hopefully this will also drop my ca...
