Now Bogmali's plan is taking shape.

do you have any i7's?

 

[bogmali]

do you have any i7's?

4 of them, 3 doing -bigadv and 1 crunching.

 

[BUCK NASTY]

do you have any i7's?

If your referring to me no, I do not. I sunk my wadd into GPU's.

Buck, I feel your pain.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

GPU's still put out some nice PPD. I can say i don't plan on adding any i7s to my "farm" anytime soon but plan to add more GPUs

Indeed they do, and have done so for a long time. I can remember back when I was folding with two X1950 PROs, and both clients were doing some phenomenal work.

I'd love to get all my "retired" GPUs back to work, but without the spare hardware I need to do so, I'm kinda stuck ATM. Perhaps after tax season.

I'm thinking I might build a custom "F@H rig," aimed at housing numerous systems in one build, with the sole purpose of the hardware aimed at nothing but F@H work. I'm thinking more along the lines of an enclosed workstation, or somethign along those lines.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i wish the X19xx's could still fold. They can be found for dirt cheap sometimes and they did decent. If they folded i would pickup 2 of them and run them in my P4 in crossfire for some old school fun

imperialreign, have you read through: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=91569. The other thing to read is this: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=10158 On the ATI side, only HD2XXX cards and newer work for F@H.

the environmental Variables helped me greatly when i was folding with ATI.(sold the card and bought a Nvidia )

 

[imperialreign]

I've looked into the env. variables, and I'd prefer to just leave them alone ATM. My current setup seems to be working relatively fine, with decent output (considering the small number of clients I'm running). Considering up and down time (between when my rig is actually working, or have had the clients off for other work, or the rig is off), I've clocked over 13000 points within the last week (off of 3 clients), with all hardware at stock clocks. Granted, things aren't working as "optimally" as they could, but it's more than enough to help out, and keep my rig from entering the "squirelly" nether zone

So - when did they drop folding support on the X1900 series? That kinda sucks. I guess those two 1950 PROs of mine might stay in permanent retirement, then . . .

Arrrg, hate being dead in the water at 2.7mil.... only a month to go till possibly a 260!

I take it that the PSU is out for delivery?

the PSU i have running my rig now. But still haven't got the GTX260 so its powering my 8800GT till i get the 260

I haven't been able to get in to Stanford's stats all morning. I smell some big points coming.

548 pointer needs new PPD evaluation

Got my first 548 Points WU on this monitored GPU just 20 min ago. It runs 5 degree C hotter then a 353 and yields 10 % less then a 1888. Memory load is a third of a 1888 and GPU load is 8 % point lower then a 353. My GPU and I do not like them. At least compensate for my wear of fan and ears and rename it to 657 and award it like that.

I did get 657 for one WU last night and I only do GPU folding. Do you think that Standford just got the "name" and hence the PPD calculation wrong?

Ups need to fix my sig

I just got one as well on the 8800GT, it's running hot and PPD isn't very good
BTW, the 8800GT has been down for the past 5 days (issues ), but it's back up again now, so I should be getting some decent PPD again (as long as I don't get too many 548s)

fah-web.stanford had problems this morning (GMT time). It did not show number of active clients but did show completed WU and total points. They might have that page down for "repair". You did pass 900.000 btw.

I have a complete Folding Rig for sale guys. Take a peek...

Thanks. I passed that late last night. Don't really care as much as getting 20th place on daily folders (someone must have slipped off) and I want to join the millionaires club.

I have added to my window box "farmette" - 2 x GTS 250 on one PC. I want to increase my production for the teams sake. I should be able to add at least one more PC and card over the weekend. I've been lurking around this forum long enough. It's about time for me to produce!!!

Also, I've gotten a s*load of 548's. I have at least one running all the time now. They do run hotter. The only way I could keep from having EUE's was to set EVGA Precision to automatic on the fans. Funny thing, if both are running 100% fan speed, the temps are higher than if one is running at a slower speed (say for a 353). Precision always ramps the fan to 100% for a 548. Temps stay at 75C. I see no way to get them lower except via liquid cooling.

The place to be. I hear that they have free bar and nice little hot plates

As soon as I get a confirmation of a next job, I´m working as an consultant, I hit the order bottom for my bigdaddy rig.

I wish you luck on the job! When you get that new rig, all I ask is that you wave as you pass me in a cloud of dust on the TPU standings.
