Haha, no, just moved house and it's taken a while to get back online! Will be back folding later today
Perfect!
Just in time to cover up my slack while I am moving from my i7 860 to an i7 950 . Hopefully that'll bring my 4Ghz clock up to more around 4.3ish; combined with hopefully some better memory bandwidth and hopefully more PPD--even bigadv potentially.

The good: X58 stuff has arrived. Right now the i7 950 is clocking at 4.3Ghz folding!
The bad: It takes 1.425V to do so....and, my 6GB of DDR3 arrived 1 stick DOA, the other two can't come close to stock speeds without BSODing.
So, time to RMA the ram and possibly switch out the i7 950 for a better batch of i7 920.

On a brighter note, I just ordered a gtx460, should have it folding by Tuesday!
Nice Buzz...:good:
I feel weird not Folding, not really sure how to explain it. I still have my Evga 780i motherboard. I have priced 3 x 9600 GSO cards and a cheap case, power supply, CPU to make a small farm when I move to America. My laptop can do everything I currently do with computers. Someday I will be back up and running!

Bummer, don't think the new clients give a huge bonus for overclocking, tho, haven't noticed a big increase from stock, I'll play around and check, tho!

As far as PPD is concerned--I was running a bigadv at 4.2Ghz and was hitting around 40k PPD with both my GTS 250 (~6500 PPD) and the smp client...now, if I can only get the rig up running again!

Is there any interest in another marathon yet?
I would be more than happy to run it like last time. I also have some goodies for prizes also
If anybody is interested in this please post and spread the word throughout the forum.
Here is an older marathon so you can see what it is.

Absolutely people are interested. I think its great for the team! Jan or Feb isnt a bad idea either.

Looks like one of my clients went down, it's not online according to TeamViewer.
Will fix it soon. Also there is a possibility of me dropping a Linux machine off over at my friend's house, so I may end up a a steady 3 clients

Yeah, could do with a little help here.. might have to to quit due to the hot weather, hopefully get some water cooling here soon..memory went out on me--I thought it was going to happen all along, but when it wouldn't boot at stock I knew something was wrong!
Should be up soon...and Buzz, keep putting out those bigadvs!

Well, it looks like I'll be up and running here in a bit. Got my memory in on Thursday, picked up some PVC from the store and made a res for the dual H50 loop. Made the mistake of installing it and then trying to bleed it--1/4" ID hoses are a pain to get the air out of! Last night took them out, got them bled (after shaking and lots of work), mounted it back in the case, and then my motherboard acted like it wasn't getting enough power to boot. Took everything apart, took out the CMOS battery, let it chill overnight and it's working again. Now, to get it back up to speed! I really want 4.2-4.3 out of it, but right now the motherboard likes to kick the memory timings to 8-8-8-19-1T instead of 8-8-8-24-2T when I change settings. At least my temperatures are down a bit (I think!) to ~61C at 4Ghz. (EDIT--my 920 is crazy--it can run 4Ghz at 1.2V, or 4.2Ghz at 1.265V! I'm having trouble getting past 4.2 for some reason, but now it's at 4.2Ghz and 62C while folding. Should be putting out decent PPD soon!)
(The res and pump will be in the case eventually)

Been folding on and off the last few days and have gone from two hundred and something to 74th, doesn't seem like anyone else is folding, or at least they're all up in the top 25, rather boring without any competition. Is the computer forum done with folding?
