Correct. The most important thing is if you use your molex to power PCI adapters, connect the adapter to two separate molex rails. You could run another 9600GSO with that PSU easily(if you have another PCI-e slot). In the future, stick with Antec, Corsair, or Coolermaster PSU's for stability and energy efficiency.

Thanks for the help. I am using the PSUs 6pin, no molex adapter so I should be okay. Only 1 PCIe slot though, next upgrade will most likely be around winter with a quad, new MB, and SLI planned, $ permitting.

Did a practice run with my paypal, I know how to use it now. I'm looking for a p5q-pro mobo and an e8400-500 cpu. Used preferably. Or else an sb750 southbridge based am2/3 mobo and phenom ii tri. The intel is probably cheaper right now, I've got really fast ddr2 ram for it. I'm going to xfer funds to paypal right away, I'll be adding more next cheque. My mobo is dying... help? Oh sorry, forgot to mention, Canada only....

What are you looking to spend? I have a P5Q Pro and E8400 CO stepping. Runs 3.6Ghz 24/7 @ 1.35V. While I love the combo, I have been looking @ PII/Sli Motherboards lately.

My main rig with a watercooled GX2 will be down for two days until my G3/8 barbs show up. I was stupid enough not realize that a Thermochill PA120.3 has a different thread pattern

Have there been any performance gains in the newer Nvidia drivers in the past few weeks or couple of months even? It's been a while since I've bothered updating mine but it seems as though my numbers are still on par with what everyone else has been getting.

I am still running 3 month old drivers. I updated 1 rig a week ago with the new drivers and saw no noticeable difference.

 

[stanhemi]

i try the new driver on my 9800gt (windows xp)and i lost 100-150 ppd vs the 182.50 i switch back to 182.50.

 

[pepsi71ocean]

finally up and folding again, running all cylinders 24/7

same problem here but with a 8800gt(same GPU) but difference is i am using windows 7. 182.50 seems to give me the best ppd. How many ppd are you getting with the 9800gt?

353 pt: 5650 ppd
511 pt: 3650 ppd
1888 pt: 4300 ppd

clocked at 675/1810/900 temps stay 66c-72c

511 pt: 4600 ppd

You're getting higher PPD with 511's than you are with 1888's?

 

[stanhemi]

oups sorry my mistake

511pt: 3650ppd

 

[thebluebumblebee]

maybe wishful thinking?

 

[stanhemi]

na... my wishful thinking is for september (working on a deal with a friend for 3x9800gtx+ and a evga mobo)

Man, I wish it wasn't 80 bucks to ship anything from the states to Canada, that p5qpro is exactly what I've been wanting, and the e8400 is still a sweet little chip! I could scare up $200 or so by the end of the month. But thats not really enough combined with shipping. Maybe some kind of payment plan? I get paid once a month, and would have access to say $400 with 2 cheques. Although for that kind of money I'd like an e8500 as well heheh! But whatever, I do have to replace this thing before it dies, and pii is too much money for me right now. Something to ponder. Also, increase the lifespan of your 260s and 280s people! I've now folded overnight on my 280 at 712/1512/1260 at 1.09v! I've also gamed with it, flawless, lower gpu temps, lower vrm temps, lower power draw. Looks like the 260s will do 3d at least as low as .98v at full oc. Extend the life of your card, they don't seem to need at the stock voltage at all!

Darn, Buck: just found my mounting hardware for intels for my zalman 9700, make me an offer, I'll see if I can do it!

 

[rangerone766]

srry to say that times are tight, and money short. so i have to shut my folding rig down for a while. hopefully i'll be able to get it up and running again in the future.

No problem. We will be here anxiously awaiting your return.

wtf: i get LOWER PPD on all of them even with my card clocked higher.. I get around 3500-3800ppd on EVERY WU (sometimes 5k on the 353pt) i know my card is stable maybe its because the CPU is crunching and the OS is kinda cluttered

 

[theonedub]

Just for reference my 9600GSO @ 600c/1650/600

353: 4013 ppd
472: 4292 ppd
511: 2643 ppd (pulls temps to 74C)
1888: 3550 ppd

This is in the same comp that has the Q6600 running WCG on all 4 cores 100% AND with SetAffinity II set to make sure FAHcore_11 and FAHCore_14 have access to all cores instead of just one.

my cpu is crunching too and it a weak e1200.I use xp 32 and nvidia driver 182.50. Boinc running on 2 core and i use ''get and set cpu affinity'' to make sure FAHcore_11 and FAHCore_14 have access to only 1 core.

Just so everyone knows, CamelJock refers to a WW1 pilot who mostly flew sopwith camels. I fly RB3D and am helping to design an updated fm, and possibly a whole new game. I also am on the Canvas Knights development team, to create a full addon/mod for IL2 Sturmovich:1946. So that's the weird nick. Last time I'll explain it, heheh!

 

[msgclb]

When you're a Cameljock in a Sopwith 2F.1 Camel you will eventually be overtaken by a F4 whether it be a Corsair or a Phantom II. I spent many years as an instrument technician on F4C, F4D, F4E and RF4C aircraft so I'd rather be a GIB if I couldn't be in the front seat.

For a long time I've been inching closer to Cameljock but now I'll need to bob and weave to keep the Sopwith's Vickers from flaming me out.

[A Cheese Danish]

Sorry guys, but my parents have finally told me I need to keep my computer off when I'm not using it.
I'll keep folding whenever I get on it, but it may not be much.
