That sucks.
It's a hot one here today.
I may have to stop folding if temps don't come down soon.
I'm kinda picky on how hot I will let it run.

I might take the heatsink off and stick hot glue on the coils to see if I can stifle the whine. Gotta check Gigabyte warranty info on that first though.

Currently have my GPU OC'd to 850Mhz. I can hit 900Mhz, but the F@H core crashes after that.

I backed down to 900Mhz to lower the temp since it was hot out, that also lowered ppd as expected.
I know that it can run much hotter but I won't go over 65c with it.
Backing down to 900 brought the temp down to 59c.

Ugh! My GTX570 makes a high pitched whine when I fold.

:( I'm really sorry to hear that, it never made any noise when I had it. Of course, I wasn't folding, but yeah. If you need the order number or anything, I think I still have it.

This morning I had it auto-start the overclock. The F@H core crashed, so I reset the card back to defaults and let the core automatically restart. Very minimal coil whine now! Makes me happy. :)

Wow, We are going to bust 1.5 million for the month and if we can hold this pace for 7 more days we can move up 5 more spots.

Nice! I wish I had an i7 but being a cheap kinda guy I went with a AMD FX-4100, but I got a good deal on my parts and helped a friend who needed some cash.
