Sick. Find the highest stability within reasonable temps and post back. I'll take a look at some of the other BIOS editors that allow you to increase GPU voltage.

Voltage increased from 1125mV to 1200mV
Temp: 55c

And folding wide open with no issues so far. I am going to play some Call of Duty later and see what happens. I have never been able to get above 700MHz before...nice app

How do you get that layout for your display? I've been working on a project for about a day now and all it shows is a 3D molecule with a black background. Do you need to use the console version?

I tried a few tests...not too good of results. Normally I can run a game with no issues at 690MHz at stock voltage.

When ever I run a game or a 3Dmark06 test with any sort of voltage increase it crashes half way through the first graphics set. I even tried stock clocks with a slight voltage increase...still crashed.

With Folding it helps and I ran it at 740MHz with 1250mV for about 2 hours and it ran great. Really did not speed up the WU at all.

My motherboard is almost an antique now...bout time for an upgrade

Trying to get the household Commander to bless off on an eVGA 790 board...almost there

haha. Best of luck with that.

I've just started folding infrequently on my 8800. A little bit here a little bit there, finishing work loads of course. Is it worth folding on my E8400? While i'm folding it only uses about 4% average on my CPU.

kookooshortman55 · 04-17-2009, 07:12 PM

You can change the CPU load. I have it so it takes up one of my cores so I can still do basic tasks while folding.

kookooshortman55 · 04-17-2009, 07:24 PM

And nevermind about the display, I didn't know there was a GPU client. Running it now.

shenry · 04-18-2009, 05:07 AM

Ok I'll download the CPU client today and see how it goes. Cheers.

im having some problems with this, i downloaded the windowed version and then read about the multi core system one, so downloaded the console one. I tried setting up the multi core thing as said but the second command line isnt working, it tells me that -Console is a bad argunment

could somebody help me to work that out please?
