good job all!

thanks, aris--i'll hook up with one of those nifty low-profile fans. what kind of cpu are you using with the bigadv workunits?

cordis--i've done that whole "forget to hook up the fans" thing before. good to know that you've got it going now. but does 70'C seem to hot to you?

So check this out.... I told y'all that I'm moving hardware over to both of my offices because I am going to lose the apartment where I've had two boxes folding along for the past year or so. I got an ASUS P5N-D to recycle the Q9650 and move two 9800 GTs into. PCI slots are close together. Even thou...

Neil,

Did you run a ram test like memtest?

Is your heatsink clear? Could be overheating with higher workloads on some WUs.

congrats, congrats, congrats!

thanks cordis and everybody.

just trying to keep it consistent right now.

fold on!

As far as the i860 goes, if you're clever you might be able to get it running bigadv jobs, but it's kind of doubtful you'll get enough throughput with gpus going too. The stock 860 is right at the edge of doing bigadvs, any other regular loads and it'll probably fail. But it's pretty good at A3 run...

Go go gadget folding!

For some reason NVidia thinks its perfectly reasonable to run their chips at about the same temps as the sun's core. I'd prefer running them cooler, say the temperature of lava. I just spewed diet coke out my nose at that one! I still have 4 boxes running right now: - Q6600 with a 3850 - Q9550 with...

a folding graph would have been sweet. kind of a good news, bad news time right now. good news, i got the dual gpu's up and running. two low powered 9800gt's and a q8200. went to bed, things were folding along nicely. temps of 72 and 67 degrees celsius. bad news, woke up six hours later and the temp...

Congratulations, and keep up the good work!

Yeah, that was the problem I had last night. Reinstalling now. I'll update when I see how this round goes.

thanks for the speedy answer, cordis. i'm confused, though, about the driver install. after going through it last night and this morning, i've removed the second card and started over from scratch. currently, the first card is folding on the machine with current drivers. do i now install the second ...

Hey, aris and any others here who might have set up dual gpu folding, how did you get your dual-nvidia gpu rig up and running? I bought a new mobo from microcenter that supports sli with a quad core intel processor, but I couldn't get the second one running last night. Is there a guide that you used...

congrats, cordis!

Haven't posted in a while. I am saddened.

But, I just made partner. I am very happy.

So if any of you were looking to increase your PPD right now, electricity not being counted, what would be the best $ spent? A core i7 system, a 470, or other?

Congrats, Derek!

Brains...I mean points......

Go, Go, Go!

Thanks, y'all. If I hadn't stopped for, what, over a year, it would be more.

The lesson learned is steady wins the race. Steady and fast, forget slow.

A skeptical congratulations to you!

I'm late chiming in, but don't dump any more money into that old setup.

Congratulations to KnightFallen! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!!!

I'm really sorry to hear that, Aris. Kinda gives you a "bah, humbug" feeling right now, huh?

That said, Merry Christmas anyway, to you and all the others. May the next year be better than this last one.

Congrats!

Congrats, Cordis!

Keep 'em comin' Aris!

congratulations, folks.

you know, frenchie, i'm not sure that it would be easy to say how many ppd you would be getting from a particular machine if you have several of them going. fahmon gives a "snapshot" rather than a true ppd total, and depends on the wu being crunched at the moment. extremeoverclocking's stats page li...
