@ xbonez let me know how that kits performs I need to get one for my 1055T and the new 875K setup. Love water cooling keeps my temps down and easy to setup. One suggestion for you is get some non-conductive fluid for your setup. If you ever have a leak it will not short out your parts. That fluid has saved my butt a couple times and is well worth the money in the long run. Frozen CPU has several different brands to choose from. Don't get any of the dyes they are messy and end up clogging up your system over time. Plus they are abrasive so they will cut down the life time of a pump.
Set it up correctly the first time and you will not have much more to do to it except general maint.

I have one rig down ATM while I switch cases. Trying to free up my CM Stacker 810 so I can use it on the my Quad Opteron setup.

Got the Feser Blue from FrozenCPU. Its non-conductive. I know I shouldn't have gone for blue (or any color), but couldn't resist

I'll use it for a while, then switch to distilled water.

Woot! my 470 is out for delivery right now. Unless USPS massively screws up, it should be in and chugging on my folding rig by today. Thats another 15k PPD.

I wouldn't use distilled water it's conductive and if you get just a drip it will short out some expensive parts. I use the Feser Aqua Ultra Pure or PC Pure water only it's clear and non-conductive. Best stuff I've ever used. Doesn't have any abrasives in it and it cools great.
Think about it before you fill your system up with something that you have to replace later. It's a pain to have to drain and refill your system again. Plus with the messy dyes its also a pain to get all of it flushed out of your system. I know I've been dealing with water cooling for several years now. Just fill it and forget about it.

Got it up to the 1000mhz mark. This card is almost a good of an overclocker as my GTX460 Hawks cards are. Seems stable so far. set the cpu to 3.8GHZ so far. I need to get a better board so I can go higher on the chip clock speeds.

 

[Josh154]

xbonez! Let us know if you get that 470 today. Also are you moving the h50 to your folding rig now that you bought that rasa kit?

Think i could possibly trade you my 775 backplate for your 1366 backplate if your putting the h50 in your folding system? It will work for both of us and then i can get doing -bigadv which is way more points for TPU

 

[xbonez]

Yup, got the 470 today and its folding already.

The backplate I have with my H50 reads 1366/1156/775. It seems its the same bracket for all intel sockets, just different screw holes. Didn't you get a similar bracket? If not, I don't mind trading as long as you have a bracket that fits my s775.

Poor quality pic coz I had VNC'ed in.

Inventory of folding rigs @ the moment. Will be adding another -bigadv rig next week if I can get all of the parts together for it.
Three of my folding rigs I have at my house and the PPD they are doing at the moment.
The 1055T has been putting up some good numbers lately. It's OC to 3.8GHZ and will go to 4.2GHZ but it runs to hot on just air. The i7 870 is really doing good now even with 2 cards folding with it. Last but not the least is the i7 960 OC to 4.2GHZ with 3 fermi's on it.
I have 3 more not so good rigs, well 2 of them are not so good. The i7 860 is doing almost as good as the i7 870 is. Plus 2 imacs that are both shutdown now till I go back to work. The i7 860 @ work has a GTX 460 hawks in it and it puts out about 32,000 PPD (that is just a guess off the top of my head)

Nah mine didn't come with the original corsiar bracket. It's a cooler master 775 back plate. I used it on your exact setup with my h50 and it worked fine. But it only has the mounting wholes for the skt 775. I bought it used so that's why i didn't get the original corsair stuff. It did come with all the AMD mounting hardware though.

Look's good man! Is that 870 doing -bigadv or smp? My 920 doing -bigadv should get around 30k PPD with 2 smp clients too right? I want a 40k+PPD rig

After i get my rig setup i plan to upgrade my gpu's. But upgrading my gpu's will come along with a new PSU. So most likely a new PSU, then gpu's. Kinda need a monitor though first because i changed my setup and i really don't have it setup right now for any monitor for the main rig.

The 870 is doing bigadv, the only ones not doing bigadv are the 1055T and my i7 960. The 960 use to do bigadv but for some reason I cannot get it to do bigadv again. So it just regular SMP till I get it figured out. The whole setup is netting me around 50,000 PPD so I'm not in any big hurry to figure it out yet.

Why does it show your only getting 13k out of the CPU doing -bigadv? Cause your running two gpu3 clients?

your talking about my 960 and it's just doing regular SMP now not bigadv
The 870 is doing about 30,000 PPD with bigadv and the 860 is about the same but i dont have a pic of it up there. The pics are my 960, 1055T, and 870 only.

 

[Josh154]

Ohh alright i thought u said it went 1055t, 870 then 960

Cool, ok. I can ship it out monday, then.

Cool thanks man! Shoot me a PM with your shipping address and ill get the bracket shipped out monday for you as well First class USPS should arrive pretty quickly.

Will do.

Got a pretty sweet, stable OC on my 470 w/ the Zalman VF3000f. Getting over 16k PPD.

 

[Josh154]

Looks awesome man! When i upgrade my cards i plan to get two gtx 470s. They fold great and are decent gaming wise. Id say 1 gtx 470 will smoke my gts's in SLI and then i can add another 470 later.

Post a pic up with your folding rig complete

 

[xbonez]

Will do shortly in the 'Your PC ATM' thread.

 

[Josh154]

Will do shortly in the 'Your PC ATM' thread.

Okay cool, ill be lookin for it I could probably do a quick little update with my rig how it is right now too awaiting it's ram

Do you still have my shipping address for that backplate? I still haven't received your PM

I'm going to go as far as I can. I'm on a fixed income. I need to get a psu for my folding rig. I can't use my main rig for folding 24/7. I'll have to back off once I get my 2nd 285. My 260s and 9800gtx are for my folding rigs. I really need help to get a psu for the folding rig. I need a quad core cpu, so all my funds will be going towards that. Can anyone help me with a psu for a 24/7 folding rig? Happy New Years!

Somebody around here had a Cooler master 600w for the price of shipping. I'll look and see if i can find the dude for ya.

Happy new years to you and all as well!

I still have a PSU up for grabs.

There ya go, shoot Bow a PM and hopefully he can hook you up

 

[johnspack]

I already did, think the shipping to Canada scares him. Too bad, it's actually quite easy and cheap when you know how. I really want this folding rig up, I've scrounged hard for months, and finally have folding cards to go, and I think my rig is still up to it... 2 260s folding 24/7 would be so sweet!

Well it can't be hard to come up with a little more money. I paid like $40 bucks shipped for my ModXStream Pro 500w and it was brand new when i got it. Just look for some good deals man. I always seem to find good deals on stuff but im usually patient. Upgrading to my i7 i wasn't very patient though but i still got some great deals.

Paid
-$207 for my i7 920
-$80 shipped for ASRock extreme X58
-$65 shipped for 6gb g.skill ddr3 1600mhz

So i paid $352 for my i7 build and sold my skt 775 stuff for $215. So i pretty much paid $137 for twice the cores and like 8x the ppd. Not too bad i don't think I'm pretty positive i could have found better deals on my chip but oh well.

Just watch for some deals and do whatever you can to score some side cash for it

Got it
