Shutting down for a storm? Remember the rule of thumb for all electronics:

If lightning struck the lines, I'd think there would be a performance increase if anything.

I think I will play it safe this time, can't chance my shiny new i7/SLi 275 box.

Well, as I've mentioned before, I DON'T stop folding. Only in dire emergencies, then I start right back up. Tomorrow, 2.75mil. On 2 cards. At half the poverty level.

 

[johnspack]

And while I may be a canuck, let's beat these Canucks bad! Let's fold!

It appears I have 2 more slots to fill. I'm looking for hi-ppd cards. I can get a brand new 9800gtx for 100can at newegg.ca, can anyone do better?
I have a month to do this.

I think I have one stashed around here. Somewhere between the Johnson rod and the Framistam.

Trying to get members of one of my gaming forums, who would of never thought of it... to give folding a try. Hoping for multiple new members!

Will be looking for a good psu at the end of the month. Would like a corsair tx750 or better, or else I have to settle for whatever I can get on ncix.com for $100can. My server finally just shut down on the current psu, and I really want to move my 9800gtx to the server, it interferes with what my 280 is doing....

I'm unfortunately stopping F@H for now, as it is my new X4 955 runs too hot, and it can't take the extra heat of an 8800GT folding as well....sorry

 

[bogmali]

If anyone is looking to go i7, I have my 920 C0/C1 stepping for sale on my F/S thread. I will give discounts to fellow folders but not much since I'm trying to recoup funds from my D0 purchases.

What temps is the Phenom seeing and what cooler ( please not stock ) ?

What temps is the Phenom seeing and what cooler ( please not stock ) ?

It's a Xigmatek HDT-S963, and I'm running at 60-62C load (case closed), ~55c load (case open). I don't know idle temps, but I never idle, so they don't matter to me

Clearly, insufficient airflow is part of the problem, the top of the case and the back vent where the air is exhausted are both quite warm to the touch, and the air coming out of the back is also "hot"

You are on the money- case airflow is very insufficient. That heatsink is a little small too, compared to its 120mm equipped older brothers. Time for more fans and maybe a slight upgrade to the cooler?

One other thing, are you sure your MB is giving the Phenom the right amount of Vcore? When I first installed my PII the default settings actually over volted the CPU. Once I adjusted the Vcore to the correct value temps went down considerably. It was feeding it enough volts for 4ghz

I can't add any more fans (except at the bottom, which I've already found out does no good), I'm considering a new cooler (Mugen 2). However, I don't think that would do much good if the heat can't get out, so I'm considering something like the Cooler Master Elite 341. BTW, it's getting 1.408v (as reported by CPU-Z @ load), could I lower this a bit?
