HFM.net is being a little over optimistic....apparently my GTS250 is doing 14k ppd by itself LOL.

There we go....refreshed it a few times and it fixed itself.

Just passed over the 5,000 PPD mark.

Wohoo just added another 2,000 points after coming home from work

If you look at Kakaostats, you'll see that we'll be in 239th place if we keep this up!

Dang I didnt know I was in the top 20!!

MY 8600gt is still folding strong but, very loud. Got ahold of xfx support finally (my laziness) and they are sending me a whole new heatsink/fan.

Sweet...throw on some decent TIM and it should stay nice and cool. I am always surprised how sloppy the manufactures throw on TIM. Most of the time you can drop temps substantially with a new application.

Yeah I already replaced it before I put it in my rig. I used Shin from Bomber. It lowered my temps 2-4c easy

I already have mine fired up...gonna run them hard today!

Overclocked the shaders on the 9600 GSO using RivaTuner. Jumped PPD about 600 points. Seems to be running nice and smooth so far. Fan has not even kicked into high gear yet. For such a budget card...this thing is a Folding monster. Running just under 4,600 PPD on that card alone

Best folding card out there for the price. The price/PPD on it is amazing, especially when zzf had it for $34.99 and $14.99 after rebate. What sucks however is how they used the same name for the "new" 9600gso that only has 48 shaders.
