Thanx Buck, hoping that 500W Enermax will hold everything on

Just make sure to balance the load across the rail(s) of the PSU.

Nice output Zenith. Keep it up.

Zenith · Jan 23, 2010

Thanx guys, but I am experiencing reboots now with 2 cards inside. Have to check amps/rails in manual.

Easy Rhino · Jan 23, 2010

has anyone figured out why nvidia drivers crash once a WU is complete? i cannot keep this rig stable outputting 17k ppd because whenever a WU finishes the drivers crash and go to 2d mode and basically cut production in half.

sli is enabled and i am using the systray with all the proper flags when executing the folding program.

note: it also crashes when sli is disabled.

I would say it's the System Tray Client. I use the Console Client only and never have driver crashes.

thebluebumblebee · Jan 23, 2010

Team, does anyone run more than one client on the system tray client, successfully???? Not a hit on you Rhino, just curious. I would have to second what Buck said; I have to driver crashes with 2 console clients.

Switch to the console client. Go here and download the Nvidia client in step 2. The console client is faster and less of a resource hog.

When I had similar problems even with the console client, I found that turning down my CPU overclock just 0.1 GHz solved it. Good luck, and keep folding.

NastyHabits · Jan 23, 2010

Now for my question

Who can recommend a safe overclock for a GTX 260? (Yes, P_O_S_PC, it's up and folding.) :toast:

mstenholm · Jan 23, 2010

Mine is running at 692/1620/1250 and has been doing that for the better part of 60 days now day and night. Evga Precison says is it is not stable and Furmark is not good, but it works for folding. Card is in sig.

Edit: If you want to avoid the noise (high pitch, travels all over my 2 storage house) then I suggest something like 650/1400/1250 or what ever your RAM can handle.

Thanks. I'll probably go a little more conservative for the moment. At 600/1350/1000 I'm getting 8250 PPD on a 353.

Zenith · Jan 23, 2010

I solved reboots by disconnecting secondary harddisk and cd-rom unit. It's folding all afternoon, no reboots. PNY is runing 10*C colder than Gigabyte. 11600 PPD with 353.

:pimp:

My tinnitus generator does 9531 acccording to FAH (9300 real) at 692/1620/1250 and 8740 at stock 680/1500/1250 so your 8250 is not bad at all. When my folding rig is ready I will lower my clocks to salvage my ears. Try Evag, if it says it safe, it is safe.

Is this the 55nm or 65nm version? If is it a 65nm, download EVGA's voltage tuner utility and crank the volts on that sucker to get more OC out of it.

Easy Rhino · Jan 23, 2010

how are you guys running multiple console clients with sli enabled then? i thought only systray worked if you want to get multiple cards folding with sli enabled and no dummy dongle...

edit: nvm i just had to change machine id. ok so far so good we will see if this doesnt crash drivers!

Easy Rhino · Jan 23, 2010

nope, drivers crashed running the console clients as well...

this is becoming too much of a hassle. i should write a check to the folding@home people and be done with it

bogmali · Jan 23, 2010

My drivers crash sometimes but somehow the clients still fold so I just restart the rig

theonedub · Jan 23, 2010

I run my 275s with no SLI, no bridge, and the second card hooked up to the second input of my monitor. So far so good.

Ahh, new to me. No problems with the visual output at all?

BUCK NASTY · Jan 24, 2010

Process Lasso/-bigadv users: I am new to the application. It's pretty straightforward, but i am looking for tweaks that may decrease my tdf. I'm running the -bigadv image from the EVGA Forums(Linuxrouter?). I've heard of a Notfred's variant of the -bigadv client. Has anyone tried it?

EDIT: Image 1.0 8-core

El Fiendo · Jan 24, 2010

No, but a few people have switched over on foldingforum. I can't say too much about it, but I've found NotFred's to be faster on 4 cores than Linuxrouter's is on 4 cores.

No, so far I've only used the [GUIDE] VMWare 3.0 (8 Core Folding w/ -bigadv) -UPDATED which is a recreation of EVGA Forums (Linuxrouter).

I'm about 8 hours from completing my 2nd -bigadv WU. This is my current TPF ...

I found the following Notfred links...

msgclb - is that TPF with 7 or 8 cores?

8 cores. When this WU completes I'm going to try 7 cores.
