just get it setup and running and make sure everything is working right and unplug your monitor and stuff and your golden. Thats what i did with one of my rigs and worked just fine. just keep an eye on your WCG stats to make sure that rig is turning in work every few days.If it isn't turning in work then you will have to check it naturally

but i can assure you it will be just fine

yes i know Velvet posted before me but i just wanted to give you my input on it also

BTW my x2 4200+ is pissing me off. I can get it stable at 3.1ghz@1.37v or 3060mhz@1.35v but 3110mhz@1.4v not stable I think i am just going to stick with 3.1ghz

one tip for you pos. if you reached the maximum clock capabilities of an X2 chip, it simply wont post,when you set above a certain random "WALL"
(most times roughly 700-1000mhz OC),
and you will have to clear the cosmos to bring the board back to life,it wont ever reset itself.this is a clear sign for deadlining the chip. my 4400+ g2 maxed out at 3.187stable,3.22 was deadline, my 5000+ g2 maxed out at exactly 3.4ghz,3.5ghz were deadline.3.47 was the least i could bench on

my 5000+ ran with 1.55, under 1.5 it never could cross the 3.300 mhz barrier. the chip scales in fact till 1.6-1.7 when properly cooled. more than 1.55 isnt good for 24/7, but i even ran my 4400+ on75 degrees 1.65 for over 5 months, without a hiccup (dont try this at home )

another thing: chips quality is the clue to the clock here. but if you buy a higher number, it will be higher, supposedly

thanks for the tip. I just gave up at 3.1ghz @1.37v its linpack stable at that so i'm just going to leave it there. It is stock at 2.2ghz so 900mhz isn't a bad OC on a small voltage bump

you wont get higher, thats the max on the chip. the 5000+ could be at least at 3.2, its in its capabilities... i just believe he needs some volts more, you may want to test it anytime

i have to give the 5kBE 1.55v for 3.2ghz for a suicide run not even close to stable.not willing to run that much voltage in a chip for that little of a gain. The x2 4200 does 3.4ghz@1.55v for suicide run ran Wprime a few times super PI and posted on here for awhile before i set it to lower. I think it has 3.2ghz in it with alittle more voltage.

1.55 is clearly not suicide (when the temps are good) when you can run 45 nm SOI on 1.55 why should 65nm SOI take a lower amount?
1.7 is suicide

1.7v+65nm~75c idle= suicide

 

[Velvet Wafer]

1.7v+65nm~75c idle= suicide

nah, i had 55 in idle^^ it dont even crashed when reaching about 120c°, i believe
after an hour of crysis. it was summer, 35 degrees ambient. the cooler was pure aluminium.
after 2 crashes on bootup, i managed to get into bios, to see it cook at 105 degrees (bios!!!)
i shutted it down immediatly

@ Freaksavior

You are moving along quickly dude

Almost at the all so famouis 1 million mark Keep crunching my friend. It's good to know you are there because of me. Well at least that's what you say, you had to pass me, well there you go

 

[Wile E]

Just hopped on board guys. Can't afford to do a lot of crunching, so I'm only running it on my main rig for now, along with a single f@h gpu client.

Thanks a lot, and welcome

Now that the issues are sorted out with the rig. Going to do some more testing.

here is what I got from my daily 4Ghz setting and beyond. The 3rd picture shows the actual temps. For some reason they hold steady at around 57-58ºc on the hottest core and for split second they jump. I think it's just a glitch with the temp. sensor on the board I guess.

have a little laugh:
LOOOOOOL???

My points are gonna reverse skyrocket cause I just went to Windows 7 on my desktop machine (which accounts for over half of my PPD) and I'm in the long, greuling process of getting it setup again. Currently I have everything installed (except my Steam games, have to re-download) but I still need to configure all my games.

Hey Velvet, how much PPD is that 4.08v processor putting out?

 

[HammerON]

Both i7's running for a couple weeks. Notice the dips in the DC graph

tremendous amounts
it does 4 times the output an i7 does,you know?

The morning will be slow for my i7 guys. I paused it last night for quick gaming, never resumed it

i know that, crysis hates wcg for example...and then,after playing, you are much too long in the forums, to recognize, your WCG isnt running.

Internet access back up, 14 finished WUs uploading from the quad and E6550 I'm looking forward to some massive points today

if you want to raise the amount of wu´s wcg stores, simply cut of the internet connection for that rig, so it can only connect ,when its already short on Wu´s
thats the only way to force him more, when the "give more" function doenst five enough wu´s
i tripled the amount of wus, my 929 cruncher loads... before that, it only loaded 3, and was ready after 4 hours, even tho i set it to 7 days

I have all of my rigs set to 3 days, so when there are network problems I don't loose any crunching time. I really wish F@H had a way to buffer WUs like WCG, I lost about 16 hours of work on my Geforce 9300 while the internet was down. BOINC's ability to buffer WUs and it's better control is one of the reasons I switched back to WCG from F@H.

Yeah true. It's happened before

Yeah true. It's happened before

I just tell it to "Snooze", then it auto-resumes after 45 minutes or an hour, so then I can't forget and then it reminds me to stop gaming when my frame rates drop

I managed to get WCG and F@H going before I left for school this morning so total downtime was only about half a day.

One nice thing about 7 I would love to point out: I can now browse the internet and run F@H at the same time. I couldn't do that on XP, it would be incredibly slow and crappy.

Yep, I've noticed this on Windows 7 as well. It used to be in XP that opening Windows Media Player would take 2 minutes, now I can open it, find a song, and start it playing it in under 30 seconds. I don't know what makes it different, but I love not having to pause F@H unless I'm gaming

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i had all my rigs off lastnight due to the heat... I have been sick and the heat has been really bothering me so my numbers for WCG and folding both are going to be down as i gave up about 7hrs of time... but the good news is I sent the MO for the mobo out today so i should have a P4HT 3.6ghz running in a week or so...then around Xmas put a C2D or something in it
