yeah i noticed my C2D isn't very flat but thought well they made it that way for a reason

haha, you 775 guys have it easy when it comes to lapping...no pins to bend

first attempts at ocing the fx60 looked promising with 2.8ghz @ 1.4v passing 15 min of orthos with flying colors, but then when I went to shut down to bump it some more the hdds cycled and I got a bsod

I don't think my crappy psu can handle it

tomorrow I will try dumping my second hdd into an enclosure to take a little load off the psu, redneck solution, but hopefully it will work

Or just buy a better psu

You have a good cooler. I'm running the free Ultra XFinity 600W that was in the bargain basement for free w/rebate from Fry's awhile back. Didn't you get one of them?

**zevia** · 05-06-2007

@crossg you are really flying with your Q6600!

@Dee is catching up quite fast too.

@hessjm, did you manage to hook up your Dell 670/GX400/280 etc?

reasonsnotrules · 06-06-2007

only 1 or 2 more WUs and i'll finally pass the people that no longer run FAH! yay! slow and steady

**Womble** · 06-06-2007

My computer was running slowly so I think "Hey quickly use Gohst and bingo got me a new install of Windows and everything will be great again"..................

except I forgot to backup my 2*WU's that were currently running.

Bugger!!!!!!

Yep,
As long as you have a 19xx series ATI GPU. I think the 16xx and 13xx series also work but they are slower than most CPUs so folding on them is mute.

I think it's slower than Linux or Windows SMP.

Since you have a 4x4, why not try Windows 2000/XP/Vista SMP client console version (currently 5.91 beta). Installation FAQ (scroll down to the very bottom): http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-SMP.html

**jwill427** · 06-06-2007

the best of both worlds would be one smp client and one gpu client

the gpu will reserve 1 core and smp will use the other 3

Well it's not the feeling of getting ahead of anyone it's the thoughtful thing of giving

Strange I left WU 2652 running when I went to work this morning and it mysteriously stopped at 70% all by itself.

Lost 11 hours of folding. Guess I better call the gremlin extrerminators.

Ouch! Well, luckily you have a beefy PC and will probably catch up fairly quickly

On my C2D machine my client fails to get another job so if i'm not around to check it i've lost time

I have to restart it manually every time

sometimes several times till it starts to work

but i keep trying
