you still sitting on that 790i stuff.

i run folding@home from time to time. as for tying up your resources i run it occasionally on a 3ghz c2d dell machine and i'm still able to use the internet and other stuff.

790i, no sent that back got a refund... resold quad core, but I still have the original 780i stuff with my E8400 processor and old 9800GT cards.

oh yeah..
forgot what hardware you had from your previous rig.

for a reference my radeon 6850 is putting out 3-4 work units a day with no real impact on my daily performance even when playing an MMO. My processor, phenom II x4 965 at stock 3.4ghz is putting out 1-2 work units a day.

Pat, there is no way to have completed units count for multiple teams, but you could both switch over to the bnet team lol

I'm running it on my server at work for shits and giggles...LOL, I plan on kicking it off when I get home to see what mine does.

I just re-stumbled onto Bnet, anyways that whole Folding@Home thing is taken a long ways by some.....

Holy crap that is a high score. What are you running it on?

2 computers....

Both are Quad socket AMD's with Magny Cours chips.

1. Supermicro mobo, 32gb ram, 4x6176's
2. Tyan mobo, 16gb ram, 4x6174's
-best part is they only pull about 550w from the wall at 100%, or about the same as someone's dual gpu folding rig.
-Big chunk of the point gain is due to the speed they crunch the large work units and gain so much with the bonus points, -bigbeta or -bigadv are the flags used by fah but I beleive 16core minimum is required now.

Well that will do it.

FUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

I recently learned how to overclock my computer

ASUS G72gx gaming laptop.
nVidia GTX 260m OC'ed to 1 GHz.
Replaced the P8900 2.53 GHz with the Intel xTreme X9100 unlocked 3.1GHz and overclocked it to 3.9 GHz. I would go to 4.1GHz but it keeps crashing above 4.0.
The peek CPU temps are about 112'c if I disable the thing that lowers CPU speed with max temp. But I have that on so my max temps are always 105'c under max load. and it maintains a speed of about 3.3 to 3.4 GHz like that, I have it set to 3.9 GHz because I like the extra Boost before the temps go up.
I did not know that we had this Folding @ home. I am now adding this to my laptop and run it every so often.

105*c are you nuts?

That is way too hot.

Agreed. Maybe he meant 105F? 105c is like 220F. Way too hot. Most CPUs shut down between 55-70c.

Not true... I've run my other CPU up to 80's but it was an air cooled E8400 so it wasn't well chilled... but typical CPU load temps will reach 70-75*c for a heavy OC.

and 105F on a OC'd cpu... I highly doubt as well, that would be 40*c and my CPU idles at 23*c on water.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking last night. I meant 75-90. But some systems have the ability to throttle clock or otherwise shut down the system if it reaches a set thermal limit in the BIOS. I set many of the ones I built at 50 or 60c depending on what its running, just to help keep someone from having a CPU failure. Never had one actually overheat like that though.

Anyways.
