I have both of my 275's at core 633,shaders 1656 and memory 1107.

how on earth did you manage that shader clock? I can't get mine over 1476 w/o dying

I did not feel comfortable with mine @ that clock. I ran it for about 1hr then put it back down to 1585. It folds there for weeks on end without issue never cracks 65C.

Just luck of the draw I guess.

Damn, those are putting out as much PPD as my 285s!

Aha! Decided to look at my p5q pro board for kicks, and discovered the heatpipe is bent, and the rad on the vregs is making zero contact with the vregs! Must have got bent in shipping. Could be why it was unstable...? Going to pull off the pipe assembly and straighten it, and remount. Have to find a cheap 775 cpu to test though. If it's okay again, I got me another folder that will hold 2 cards! Edit: wow, bent socket pins too, wish I would have looked more closely at this board first, it's probably okay now...... Edit: wrong, socket is too damaged, I'm going to burn this baby! Wonder what 110v will do to it....

anyone elses stats been off? I have had my cards running 24/7 and it is only showing `1k PPD on the stats when just the other day it was 11k WTF is going on? I know its not the clients as they all have turned in many WUs

 

[mstenholm]

It seems like all our stats have been delayed at least 24 hours. I'm currently 6 WU behind in the stats. Problem began sometime yesterday afternoon (GMT) but I have been told elsewhere here that it is not uncommon.

They've had a few server issues here and there, but its usually sporadic. Part of the reason they were upgrading their servers in a couple days was to fix this issue and give them plenty of head room. I can't say it'll go away once they switch over, but it should be a lot more infrequent. They were averaging maybe 1 stats hiccup every month to 1.5 months per my recollection, so they weren't doing too bad.

And my 9600GT is now FOLDING!

PPD seems a bit low, but I was using the computer when I took that screenshot, and I'll OC a bit later to try and get a bit better PPD
w00t w00t!

 

[p_o_s_pc]

nice Ion.I would say that is about right for a stock 9600GT while the rig is being used. While at idle i would think ~3.3k would be about right. When overclocked and idle ~4-4.2k maybe... How you like your card?


BTW the 1888pt WUs bring my GTS and GT to there knees. Go from ~6.2k ppd on the GT to ~4.8k ppd the GTS gets about 3.8kppd on the 1888pt vs 4.5k on 353pt and ~4.2k on all the others..

So far it's good, but all I've used it for so far is F@H. It just arrived this afternoon, so I haven't had time to game yet (and waste F@H time )

The irritating thing is the day after I payed $52 shipped for it someone on OCN listed a pair of 9600GSO 768MB cards (DDR3) for $40 shipped each
Still, I'm happy, F@H performance is over 4x what it is on the 9300
As you can see from the pic, I'm currently running a 353pt WU, so the PPD is about 3350 vs 930 . 1800 seems to be the limit for the shader OC, the next strap (1836mhz) EUEs instantly I'm going to have 5 WUs at the 6pm update (or 9 PM), but probably only like 70 points (EUEs) Currently I'm clocked back down at 1800 mhz and it's folding fine

EDIT:With the shaders clocked at 1800mhz, it seems to have settled at 3351 PPD. BTW, does anyone know what the little asterisk by the PPD in FAHmon means? END EDIT

 

[johnspack]

Hmm, stats came back, but still missing 24hrs worth of points! Hope they didn't lose all that....

FAHmon is estimating your PPD based past PPD - it doesn't have 3% to base its PPD on yet

No, I'm very sure it had the 3%, it was 27% done with the WU when I posted that

My home network crashed tonight for a couple of hours. I think my trusty ol' Linksys WRT54G is slowly dying. Had to flash the firmware and bring each rig online one at a time or the router would crash. seems to be OK for the moment. Anyone else having fun tonight???

 

[Jstn7477]

Anyone else having fun tonight???

I have a big college Macroeconomics test tomorrow, and I just got my power bill overage for a month that I didn't even fold. The total electric bill was $215 for a 2 person, 900sf apartment (the A/C was apparently broken and running 24/7 to reach a mere 75*F). My complex pays $105, so my roommate and I have to each pay $53 in overages.

I got the A/C fixed a few weeks ago and it barely has to run now, so hopefully that will counter the 24/7 power consumption of my desktop and laptop folding + crunching.

I've been having issues with OCing my new 9600GT, it'll do 1800mhz shader (up from 1625) with ease and the temps are under 60C, but if I try to increase to the next shader strap (1836mhz), it EUEs instantly Any suggestions for OCing the shaders higher?

My GeForce 210 40nm and GeForce 9800 GT 55nm only do about 1700 before fizzling out. I had to overvolt the 9800 to get 1700 error-free in OCCT.

lower the core clock about 25-50mhz or leave stock and oc shaders only.I have my 8800GT at STOCK VOLTS running 635/1915(c/s) 24/7 folding stable by using the low core high shader. When i overcloked both i maxed around 700/1800... BTW the higher shaders give me about 600ppd more

Yepper.. I just noticed my 9600gt hasn't been folding for a couple days now.. Windows 7 restarted after updating.. yay, but It's back up now folding and crunching away!

that depends on what you mean by "fun" If you mean problems with rigs... not that i know of(just got home)*runs and checks the rigs* looks like the only problem that i have is Rivatuner didn't overclock my 8800GT at startup(hasn't worked right with W7)... if you mean fun then yes i had a great time

 

[BUCK NASTY]

Drop Rivatuner and get Precision. Never had a problem with clocks not loading correctly with Precision.

 

[Mindweaver]

yea, Precision is great.

 

[hertz9753]

I agree, go with Evga Precision. It works with all my nvidia cards.
