Folding@Home: CF Official Discussion Thread

Cant do a whole lot more other than gpu and ps3 atm....vmware folding is too hard drive intensive and one of my hdd's has a bearing going out.
 
Really? You're still in 5th place for 24 hr points average. :cool:

Just sayin, i need to get my i7 up and running too. Now that summer's over, I've started folding w/ my PS3 again. During the summer the fan would spin up too high due to the heat. Very loud.
 
The SMP client I was using would start where I closed it.

You have to close it properly. When the CMD window is open and it it running...hit "Ctrl + C" to close the window. When I would start it the next day, right where I stopped it.

I'll reload SMP today and get everything running again.

Absolutely incredible. His "farm" has been updated since the Engadget post.

Here's a link to the thread @ overclock.net

Video is a must see.

The power bill must be through the roof!

But I'm glad someones contributing with this monster. :)
 
The power bill must be through the roof!

You would have to have a deal with the local power company or something. Maybe they could "sponsor" it and pay like 50% of the bill.

I bet he just uses it as a tax write off with his business. He has a health care business and so deos his parents. I am sure they have a way to lower the bill for all the hardware and power.
 
HFM.net is being a little over optimistic....apparently my GTS250 is doing 14k ppd by itself LOL.


There we go....refreshed it a few times and it fixed itself.

OMG...look at the "Top 20 Producers" list on the Team Summary page:eek:

Now that is the standard! Great job everybody...I have not seen production totals for the team like that since I started Folding in January:good:

Just passed over the 5,000 PPD mark. :D

Seems as though the new card is cranking out some serious work units! Nice...I like:D
 
Dang I didnt know I was in the top 20!!

MY 8600gt is still folding strong but, very loud. Got ahold of xfx support finally (my laziness) and they are sending me a whole new heatsink/fan.
 
Sweet...throw on some decent TIM and it should stay nice and cool. I am always surprised how sloppy the manufactures throw on TIM. Most of the time you can drop temps substantially with a new application.

Yeah I already replaced it before I put it in my rig. I used Shin from Bomber. It lowered my temps 2-4c easy
 
I already have mine fired up...gonna run them hard today!

Overclocked the shaders on the 9600 GSO using RivaTuner. Jumped PPD about 600 points. Seems to be running nice and smooth so far. Fan has not even kicked into high gear yet. For such a budget card...this thing is a Folding monster. Running just under 4,600 PPD on that card alone:D
