I got up this morning and my computer was off. It overheated.... So I decided to look at it and......wow I had no time this past few months to dust and re-grease my computer
So I took the fan off the heatsink and omg! It was full of dust! Took off the heatsink and the paste was all dried up. Then I thought, Shit no paste! Good thing today was payday lol. The GPU was also quite clogged as temps were in the high 80'sC when folding. So I went and got some paste and temps when folding on the GPU are 60'sC and both cores on the 5000+ never go above 45C. So Ill be back in action today!

For any of you thinking about a GT240, Newegg has a 512MB/GDDR5 ECS (3 year warranty) for $70 after $10 MIR and of course free shipping and a free Rainbow Six Vegas 2 game. As someone said, 9800GT performance for 1/2 the watts (for F@H). I have no idea if ECS put an artificial OC limit like Palit did.

anyone else notice there are very few 1888wus out there now? Or am I just slow?

We had some crazy snowfall today. 5" of snow with 1.5" of moisture. Power was so unstable that it causeed one of my rigs to shut down while I was at work.

 

[Fitseries3]

what kinda ppd can i expect from a 5850?

 

[hat]

Probably about the same ppd as a 9600gso with a healthy overclock... somewhere between 4000 and 5000

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

wrong 5850s average 3300 ppd stock 4000 at 775/1125

even at 850 /1150 i might barely reach 4100-4200ppd but it takes more volts to stay F@H stable

I may be trying an Nvidia card again soon, if I get an SSD I'll have to reinstall Windows anyways, so I'll either be trying an 8800GT or an 8800GTS G80. If whichever one I try works without driver issues, I'll probably pick it up, and if I do it'll be folding

i have a 8800GT with a xiggy battle axe make an offer

Is that the stock 8800GT that you bought from me?

Finally got my core i5 with a gtx285 folding, points should start going up on next update....:>)
Put a H50 cooler on the i5 and that was alot of fun.. Took awhile to get it all in place with a push pull fan setup..

Now need to put something together for the 275 to go in....
Think I got enough spare parts to put it in a rig...

Hey TeXBill, I was wondering what you have your GTX 285 clocks set at.

 

[TeXBill]

run them @ stock right now, they are all XFX brands. I run them 24/7 @ stock and they put enough PPD with out the OC.

I thinking more about underclocking the core and mem.

I haven't seen an 1888 in a week. Although right now I have 3 x 548's, 3 x 547's, and one 783. Whacks my PPD by 5000 and temps are through the roof. I'd gladly trade those 548's for 1888's.

Nasty, get away from that blueberry pie.

Nasty, get away from that blueberry pie.

I know. How in the world did I get 3rd place pie yesterday? It's nothing I did. More like what others didn't do. Or maybe none of the -bigadv folders submitted results? Or everyone got really big jobs? Is Stanford only accepting updates from Oakland, CA? EOC shows us doing 750K in the last 24 hours and ZERO for the day. Update failure?

Whatever it is, it's got me a wee bit worried when I just chug along at my 38-40K daily rate and suddenly I shoot up 4 places in the daily Pie charts. Come on guys, shove me back down to 7th where I belong.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

It is interesting that there seems to be no bigadv hits in the last 39 hours. hmmmm

It seems like InfernoDX from our most recent treat Planet 3Dnow! has lost his momentum. He was doing bigadv on "some" servers but is now back to "normal"

http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=336622

Edit: maybe back to normal.

Extra edit: no his is still folding 700 K PPD

 

[TeXBill]

Nasty going to see if I can match your PPD....:>)

On Mar 31 and Apr 1 the temp got to 88F and 81F outside and in the 90s in the room where I keep my crunchers and 7 cards. I shut them down in the early afternoon of 31 March. In the room where I keep my 3 bigadv rigs and my 24/7 machine it got to almost 90F. I shut down 3 cards in those machines. I had shut down one of my bigadv rigs for maintenance the night of the 30th. I couldn't get it up before the temperature hit the roof so I left it down. While all of my cards were down, two bigadv WUs completed on the 1st so while my numbers were impressive I wasn't! I only ran enough cards on the 2nd to get me in the pie chart.

A couple of hours ago a bigadv WU complete and should show up on the next update. It looks like on the 4th and 5th I'll get one bigadv WU. I've only got about half of my cards currently running.

If this is what's going to happen when summer gets here then I'm in trouble.

I have one more that is trying to submit but Stanford Servers are being boneheads again:shadedshu

TeXBill - We've been evenly matched for a while now. Given some of your upgrades you talked about in recent posts, you should have no problem matching and even passing me in PPD. Heck, for the good of the team, and cancer research, I WANT to be passed in PPD.

msgclb - Sorry 'bout your heat issues. But here's "fiendish" idea. Get a big ol' shipping container, insulate the crap out of it, put some solar panels and a windmill on top of it to power a swamp cooler mounted at one end. Of course it would be ugly as sin. A real eyesore, and the neighbors might ride you out of town on a rail.

Has anyone overclocked the piss out of one yet(shaders)? I want to know what ppd I can expect running on the bleeding edge of crashing.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Buck, of what I remember, only one person has a GT240 and that one is a Palit and it's limited to 1754 on the shaders. The two that I've listed are ECS and XFX and you'd think that the XFX would be a good overclocker. And its only $67 after MIR.
