Alright guys, looks like some of you might passs me up again. I stopped folding on my laptop because it was just running too hot and I need to use it for school. I also backed off the OC on my quad from 3.6 to 3.2 due to some minor stability issues. Result: my ppd is way down.
My second q6600 rig is getting closer to operational though. It would be up already but my old PSU turns out not to be compatible... go figure.
What is your old PSU?
one of these would aid in your laptop cooling
I got some more parts for my girls new Q6600 rig today. I'm still deciding on a mobo for her but I think I narrowed it down.
Anyhow, I'll get some pics of her stuff to show you guys, its hilarious! My friends were laughing at her case/kb/mouse(all pink) but once they figured out what was gonna be inside the laughing stopped pretty quickly.:D
I'm still having probs with one of the quads on Vista, I really think I'm gonna install XP64 on that rig too. I'm soooo fed up with Vista!
:rofl: bolded part, very funny...Quote:

EDIT: ordered a mobo myself too, not desided yet which quad though, probably q6600...
Just read the news and thats great! Hopefully it'll fix my probs with Vista/F@H.:up:Quote:

Her rig will consist of Q6600, Gemini II, GSkill 4Gb PC2 8000, Antec 550w, X1950xt w/HR-o3. :yepp: :yepp: :up: :up:
How sexy :p: Now I want pink pc too. It would be a hit at LANs :shrug: :D
Great stuff, Twiggy :D
Hey Barnacle look at our lines! :D Oh and Coo coo is going to kill us!
Haha! BestBuy was having a sale and I picked up a case with a 80plus 500W PSU for 19.99. Quad #2 is alive folks! The VID on this baby is 1.225, right now I'm running it at 3.3Ghz on only 1.18 after vdrop/vdroop.
Hopefully I will complete testing today and have it crunching by tonight.
I keep hearing about the VID on the quads - you mean it isn't the same for all the Q6600 G0 chips? Let me guess, lower VID = better OC right? Or at least less voltage to get the same OC?
Quad_2 is crunching... I'm on the hunt again :D
This chip has potential to be a great overclocker. I'm very much limited my by mobo. I will probably swap it with the one in my main rig when I get a chance and see what it will do with some water cooling.
Yeah, the VID is the default voltage the chip asks for when running at stock speed. There are exceptions, but generally the lower the VID the more headroom for overclocking.Quote:

I don't post much here in this thread, it's looking like I can make it into top 30 this year but to many people with more hardware crunching. And I refuse to run dual smp atm, I rather have the quickest turn around time possible for my wu's.
Still enjoying the thread, and the people.
Happy folding all :)
Hey Barnacle, San Jose is close to me. I'm gonna come to ur house and kill ur power. lol jk
I knew my lead wouldn't last... :shrug:Quote:

My old PSU it was a 430 watter that came with the original Antec Sonata. It only had a 20 pin MB connector. :shrug: It's not a big deal, I guess I'll just put my Athlon64 back in it, use it as a print server and let it crunch too.Quote:

If I've got my notebook with me during the day I usually open and close it failry often. Maybe it would be better to just leave FaH off during the days I'm using it on the go and then let it work when it's at home on the desk...
:ROTF: great pic... you're pumping out some serious points though. I saw you broke into the 6000ppd average on the leader board, turning bright red in the process, earlier today.Quote:

Three Musketeers :fight: ... I bet :nuts:_cer would like if I was naming you The_Knights_Who_Say_Ni! but that could almost sub-promote rival team
:up: great pics you post always :ROTF:
Woke up this morning to one of my folders locked up :( I figured it was probably a memory stick gone bad, (has happened too many times) but it's not that. This quad has been running 9x400 @ 1.35v for a couple of months now without issue. Now it wont even boot at those settings. I have had to clock it all the down to 3.3 to get it stable again. I will try a few things this weekend and see if I can get back to 3.6, but for few days anyway, looks like I'll have just one quad folding.

Got a laptop today!
It is a Toshiba Satellite something. It's pretty nice, dual core intel, nvidia 8700gt.
One question. How do you install smp on vista? When I start the .bat file it fails to log on. :shrug:
