The sign up for those invites that Bog has ends today. Let's not waste 32 cores of Folding power that each invite comes with.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

I used to use gpufolder V2(or something) on my low end folder but have switched it to v7 but ive two questions firstly its gt240 is doing x11 work as normal but previously i could run 1 uniprocessor on its dual core too now if i do gpu usage drops to 50% on avg, ive turned it to gpu only?

and on that old folding manager soft it had shorcuts to stats pages that could easily be searched for my production only ,to check my folders are working effieciently etc anyone got a few links ive tried the first post links but their top 20 only(hopein tobe back their soon)

All invites gone. All you're doing is configuring clients within HP's cloud servers to fold for you and the team. The hardware itself is HP's system.

You might want to look into setting affinity so that the GPU client is tied to one core while the CPU client is tied to the other core. If not, you can find where to set it when you select "Expert" or "Advanced" mode for the client and then go into Configure - Advanced and look under Optimizations. Are you sure that it didn't launch SMP on you?

Bought a Asus P8P67 Pro last night in the process of switching everything over & getting it running again. Also picked up a Sapphire 7970 for the gaming rig. It runs flawless so far with all games I've tried @ 1920X1200 OC's like a beast & runs cool @ 50% fan speed.

Here is a screenie of 60K plus PPD courtesy of HP's Cloud System, not bad for something free

But how does it Fold?????

Haven't tried that yet. Not sure I want to fold on the ATI card.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

PPD/watt for the newer ATI's with Client V7 is the same as Nvidia.

 

[TeXBill]

I have several dedicated folders now that are going strong.
I might try it later and see what it will do.

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Okay, don't want to hurt your baby.

 

[TeXBill]

yep ^^

Well, still not sure what to do.. the rampage works so nice. And I'm sure I can drop that 73c with the d14. And why do I need 4.15.. a little thing called ROF, dam sim. Also, because I can! I frankly want 4.5 out of it... but need 300+ in water cooling for that, so I'll take the 4.15, at probably under 70c, for now. Maybe with triple 140mm fans I hit 4.3! Jeez, this is TPU... I'm supposed to oc it!

 

[johnspack]

Well, not sure what the deal is.. not sure if I'm using the MX-4 properly or what, but my Polaris with MX-2 beats this D14. I do use a 130cfm Panaflo on the Polaris vs the stock Noctua fans, but still a bit disappointed. With the MX-2 I just spread it over the ihs, works great, with this MX-4 I did the grain of rice thing in the middle. I did check it once and redid it, but it spread evenly, so should of worked nicely. I've seen reviews on the D14 where they show to match the 2 fans(ie 2x120 or 2x140) results in better performance. I have to sort this out so I can figure out what cooler goes to my i7 folder, so any advice appreciated!

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Pete, I don't have the D14, but have read many reviews. What I have seen is that the D14 does not shine until it has a very heavy load on it. It has such a great reserve capacity in comparison to other coolers. I saw a test vs. the Venomous X where the X ran out of capacity, although it had been beating the D14 temperature wise. In short, just put the D14 where it will have the heaviest load.

 

[johnspack]

I think my shortage of proper cleaning chemicals is having something to do with it. I solved a weird little mounting issue, but even after that it's only about 2c cooler under heavy load than the polaris. I already know the polaris can handle my xeon at 3.8ghz folding, tested it for several days. Really needed the d14 to run my 950 at 4+ghz running cpu hungry games..... Just going to have to scrape up the money to buy my cleaning and prepping stuff, and do it right...again.

 

[horik]

I7 950 get hot at 4+ghz on air,i get >80c when folding for hours,my room is at 21c

 

[johnspack]

Oh, wasn't going to fold the 950, need to make sure I always have a backup, so the w3570 was going to be the folder. However, found out my p6t mobo is damaged, so the i7 folder idea is scrapped. Oh well. I'm rather short on money now as well, so I'll probably not rebuild the old folder again. Probably just leave the one box with a 9800gtx going for now, until I can recover needed parts again. At least I got the d14 down another 4c under load.....

 

[thebluebumblebee]

^^ From past history with a certain GTX280....., does that motherboard have any warranty left. Asus warranty is from the date of manufacture, so check it. Please.

 

[Sir B. Fannybottom]

I've been folding all day now, the house is starting to get hot...

 

[johnspack]

Ug, I bought it from Hertz, who bought it for me from someone else on another forum. I doubt there's a warranty. I was worried it was the xeon cpu, but tried it on my main rig, and it works perfect. So it's definitely the p6t. Think I'm sol on this one....

 

[thebluebumblebee]

What harm would checking the warranty status cause? Although, I don't know if it makes a difference that it's now in Canada.

 

[johnspack]

Yeah, I guess I could check the serial number or something with asus. I'm rather bummed out about this.. took every penny I had to build it, and it's basically dead on birth! Sure am glad the classic w3570 es is okay though, I was more worried about it. I'll probably just look for a cheap used x58 mobo of any kind to replace it, and problem solved. I've rebuilt x58 systems so many times now I can do it in my sleep! I've actually memorized all my bios oc settings, takes me about 2 mins to set it up, and reboot. I guess this has been good practice for me, so at least I got something out of this. i7s rock... now if I could only afford sb-e.....
