I don't know if the bios will. What mobo?
More so, can you change the FSB and core voltage amound other things?

Its a Gigabyte P31 I know I can change the Multiplier and I think the voltage.
Then you're set! Have fun! Just don't set the voltage too high!
Keep temps < 65c for 24/7 operation is my advice ( maybe I'm already to conservative to really be XS )
Ok, so i've OC'd the GPU and almost got 4k points per day. Now i'm just trying to OC the processor to 3ghz which i've heard is possible with the stock cooler. I've got the GPU fan running @ 100% and its at a nice and chilly 50c. I'll report back when I get my CPU over clocked
I agree w/ Marvin.
Its one thing to have super high clocks on a cpu that never reach 100% cpu usage, games, normal pc usages, or 100% for benching only. Personally, I don't let mine get over 61-62C just b/c cooler is better. Extreme OCing for 24/7 stable for say 5 years is much difference than max FSB/mhz.
You may want to consider a 3rd party heatsink to ensure you keep your cpu cool.
I got the SMP client working and the GPU client working.. i'm getting a grand total of 4348.01 ppd. I'm getting 4147.20 off the gpu (9600gt) and 200.81 off the cpu (intel pentium dual core stock).
Is that normal for a dual core?
200 ppd is way to low for smp, you're probably runnig in single core mode ( did you follow scoop's setup/upgrade guide? )
I just double clicked on the application, i guess i should follow the guide. Where is it?
Should be stickied here somewhere, but I'll help you since you already done most of the work. If you edit your shortcut to the client to include -smp, when it finished this wu it will start on a smp one. So the target should be
Edit: it will finish the current wu first, which could take awhile ( those ambers don't use SSE2/3 afaik, their really slow ).Code:".....\Fah-something.exe" -verbosity 9 -forceasm -smp
the SMP client was erroring on me, so i'm just crunching for WCG on my cpu and on my ibook and i'm folding on my gpu 9600gt.
You know we'll try to help you get it running smooth if you post your fahlog's files :up:
I can post my fahlogs just its not worth running for only 200 ppd and Boinc w/ WCG is easier to set up. On my gpu I was getting an EUE error but after reading another post I found that it was probably because my shaders were at around 1900mhz. Ya, i don't think that was a good idea. But its now working and is nice and cool at stock. Is it worth it to send the fahlog files, or should I help out WCG which would be more productive?
Thanks for your help!
I'm gpu folding at 1900 shaders without problems but I'm having a rare gem as a card it seems.
Wcg is also a project which does the world only good so I won't hold it against you :up:
You can run wcg on the cpu, it is much easier to manage and set up, and keep gpu folding for the fah team. I did the same, swapped my quad with a wcg member's gpu for a week as a rough test, going to post our experiences about that later waiting on a announcement from Vijah Pande. I'm sure the guys will help you join the xs wcg team, and the impact gpu folding will have is very dependant on the os but not more then 15% ( my estimate for xp nvidia with your card ).
Well, i looked at sc00p's smp install guide it was Easy to follow, Thanks!! Now i'm just going to fold on cpu and gpu!! I've just slightly oc'd my gpu to 679 core and 1697 shader, i'm getting around 3.5k idk what to expect with the Cpu smp client..
I get a realistic 395x ppd with 725/1900/1900. I oc'd the core since I game in between, I can oc it more for gaming but temps do raise another 3c with 750mhz so I leave it at 725.
What I do find surprising is reading you found the guide easy yet you seemed to have so many issues before :up:
It's only a good observation though :wtf:
Post some ss's maybe we can optimize it some more! What brand card did you have again? And what are your gpu temps? Maybe if you alter the fan profile you can up the clocks some more ( I had to because 1800 shaders wouldn't keep stable with the stock 33% fanspeed, 44 or 45 is much better keeps my card @ 70c with aforementioned clocks :)
Btw, your avatar.. I actually have a cat who when she was young walked on a leach with me and my gf, way to many cars around. Thing is, now without the leach she still wants to follow us everywhere we go for a walk :rofl:
She made it inside the groccery story so many times, and when she was a kitten that was cute but she's almost 4 now ( times flies ).
At first i had some issues, but i then learned to look around more and found stuff better.
Wow,(time does fly ) @ your cat, my cat (a 2 month old kitten) now just lays on my keyboard and mouse i'll have to post up some pics (if i can how do i?)
i've got an xfx 9600gt non extreme. i just run it at 100% fan b/c it doesen't bother me and lower temps are better!
The attachments only allows pretty small pictures but you can always use http://imageshack.us or http://www.photobucket.com ( last one is a guess ). Print screen works if you goto paint and press ctl-v or paste it will put the image in your paint window. Though there are a few nice free ss software packages, http://www.techsmith.com/ has snaggit which is very popular :up:
I found out how to take screen shots
I need to get my flikr account username i'll post in the morning when i get it working,my cat is in my avatar
Also, i overclocked my GPU to what you have, I just don't want to get an EUE error like before which killed my ppd.
My gpu eue's on 1950 within 3 frames, but can run 1925 with reasonable stability. 1900 has never eue'd a wu. Most of the times you can't just duplicate clocks and expect it to run, and I think I don't have a bad clocker and you might. Just monitor the client closely.
No problem with the pics, I'm abit ( very very very ) slow today myself :(
What would you want in a screen shot though? Right now F@H mon shows 509 ppd on SMP client and 3330 ppd on GPU 2.

How can you stand 100% fanspeed? I got it at 44 think 70c isn't bad for a gpu? And I'm actually afraid the sleeve bearing will wear out pretty quick on 100% :eek: But I'm told to be to paranoid about that so nm me ;)
I'm used to an ibook g4 at 100% fan speed which was worse, plus my case is under my desk also, i can't stand my comp not making any noise b/c u have to know if its on. I can lower the fan speed a bit so i don't kill the fan.
I just lowered my fan speed to 70% its at around 58*C so thats ok.
