Okay, I'm thinking an 970 vs a 975... which is the better folding ppd deal? I might actually have to hold out for a 970. Being broke sucks, but I guess I need best bang for the buck.

Same clock speed - 50 % more for the hex.

Water cooling on a Tech Station!

I would have had a new rig on a Tech Station running today but my memory is quarantined at my local USPS office. It should have been delivered Friday but instead I got a "Sorry We Missed You!" slip so I have to wait until Monday Oct 31 to get it.

This rig was to be based on Bulldozer but now I'm not sure what the final processor will be. I will also have water cooling but mine is base on the Corsair H50.

My camera battery is now being charged so hopefully Monday I'll return with some images and more information.

I hate it when that happens, the waiting game is horrible when it comes to hardware. :laugh:

So I am tired of my room being above 80 so my BD will no longer be folding. seriously AMD WTF.

so sell it to me then [H] :roll:

Then my server would have no processor .. .

Also my mother found out she has breast cancer (slightly ironic on breast cancer awareness month I know) . .. sooo my BD is back up and folding all my folding machines are now going to TPU (for the moment) @ about 80 k PPD or so.

I hope there is a cure soon so no one else has to go through this crap! :rockout:

Athlonite · Oct 31, 2011

oh shit dude that sucks my partners mum has gone through chemotherapy for breast cancer

johnspack · Oct 31, 2011

Yeah, I can relate. Watched my dad die of throat cancer. It was horrible. If I could save one person from that, all this is worth it.....

I just had my first client-core error on a SMP unit in ½ a year (at 97%). I will let it run as a cruncher a day or two to see if it is a permanent problem. I would hate to increase VCore before it gets colder.

Edit: crashed again, rised it a notch. Still below 50 C so back to folding tomorrow if all goes well.

Chicken Patty · Nov 2, 2011

Guys,

I am using FAH control to Manage my folding. However, at first my GTX 295(SLI DISABLED) and my GT240 folderd at 100%. Now my GTX295 is at 50% each core, and my GT240 is still at 100%. Any ideas?

thebluebumblebee · Nov 2, 2011

Did the 295 clock down?

bogmali · Nov 2, 2011

Dave-what driver version are you using?

Chicken Patty · Nov 2, 2011

I'm at work so I can't verify right now, but it's the latest one on the Nvidia site.

msgclb · Nov 2, 2011

This is what I've got on my tech station:

ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
AMD Phenom II X4 965 (Waiting for AMD FX-8120 95W processor)
CORSAIR H50 Cooler w/ (2) Noctua NF-P12 Fans Push/Pull
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866MHz
Corsair Airflow Memory Fan Model CMXAF2
EVGA GeForce GTX 460
Thermaltake 850W PSU

Sounds like a driver crash. I have to re-start my rig when GTX2XX start acting up.

Yeah I find I have to restart my 460's and 470's about once a month or they start dropping units, and folding at 60%.

From my experience with older GTX2XX series cards is that the newer drivers will either crash and you'll have to restart the client or they will not fully utilize the card 100%. The Geforce 260 series drivers is what I find to work best with these cards.

Chicken Patty · Nov 2, 2011

That tech bench looks great.

As far as drivers, I'll find some older ones and try them. I have already restarted and it doesn't fix it. I'll keep you guys posted.

Chicken Patty · Nov 3, 2011

Okay guys, running the 260.99 drivers, same issue. Only the first core on the GTX295 is running full throttle, when I add the 2nd one they both scale down a bit and when I add the GT240 it scales down along with core 2 on the GTX295. Any suggestions?

***note*** I need to have more than one monitor hooked up? I only have one hooked up to the GTX295 and that's it.

johnspack · Nov 3, 2011

Well, sorry to say, my ppd is going to tank starting tomorrow. I have to strip my main folder down to sell parts, so I can finish building my first i7 folder. I should be able to come back with a least twice the ppd in the end, so it's worth it. My friend can only make payments, like me, so might take a month or two before I can finish building it. You know me by now, I always come back to folding!

Chicken Patty · Nov 3, 2011

Best of luck dude. Keep us posted on the build.

Can you hook up a dummy plug on the GPU2 on the 295 first and see if that makes any difference and then add the GT240?

johnspack · Nov 3, 2011

Looking for any left over 1366 cpu water cooling stuff I can find. My current bills are paid, so I can buy more stuff! I need one more cooling system, so I can xfer my current system over to the folding box. I'm looking for a used, real water cooling system, or the parts to accomplish that.

I don't have any. I have to find the how to on here and see if I can make one.

I might have some stuff available but not soon though.

Chicken Patty · Nov 3, 2011

Question, instead of making a dummy dongle for the card, Can I connect a cable to the VGA port on the monitor? It won't be two displays, but it'll I guess give it the resistance it needs to detect a display? Any input on that?

johnspack · Nov 4, 2011

Electrically, it would just be the same as a very long vga port. You would still have to connect a dongle to the end. Kind of like, if a power supply doesn't have the power good signal returned, it shuts down.
