[PROJECT] Atlas Folder

[WhiteFireDragon]

alright then, GL! weird how it just came back to life. hope this doesn't affect the long term reliability of it doing it again...

Yep I have the same worry of course, but a card with the possibility of dying in the future is better than a dead card.

Jeez!!! That is some serious GPU power you got there. I wonder what kind of FPS your gonna get running crysis.

[AtlasShrugged]

I've never played Crysis, I suppose I could download and test it though.

I really like your build, and think it might deserves a post in the xs fah section even if you don't fold for us. It's nice to share experiences and and you seem to have enough, personal professional and extreme

Tonight's update is the first one actually performed on Atlas Folder.

I'm calling the machine "done for now". Things I lack and will certainly do in the next few days and weeks are:

• NB/SB on water
• Fan/Pump Controller and Monitor
• 5.25" drive blanks
• Two additional fans on the back of the machine

Tonight I did a clean install of Vista SP1 and cable management. In the photos below you might noticed that the fan cables aren't that neat... That's because I anticipate putting a fan controller in and I wanted to leave them as long as possible and not solder them together until I do that.

Thanks again for the support that I've received here on XS, I'll definitely do my best to contribute here when I can.

Here's a screenshot of my idle temps:



GPU3 runs hotter than the others, and the difference is larger under load. Also on my todo list is to disassemble that card and see if it's a TIM issue.

And Atlas Folder himself:





It's really not a terribly elaborate build, but for my first time it was enough. Now that I have a lot more knowledge and more tools on hand adding NB/SB and maybe MOSFETs really doesn't scare me at all any more.

Looks great!! Fantastic job you have done with the tri-sli and the MM case

[disruptfam]

Atlas folded overnight with my new GPU overclock and my QX9770 running stable at 4.2GHz. I have not tried to push my processor harder yet, it's running the SMP version of F@H with temperatures between 45*C and 49*C on all cores so I'm very happy with that. Still have GPU3 getting quite hot, right now it's at 84*C while the other two GPUs are at 53*C and 54*C under F@H load. Definitely need to pop that card out and have a look this weekend.

Below is a screenshot of FahMon displaying my three GPUs and my SMP all running on this one machine. You can see a total PPD of 24399.95 currently... There's probably a bit of room left, I'd like to be topping 25k PPD on this single machine.

Amazing build & a huge contribution to the FAH project Atlas - 20k+ out of one box is the stuff folders dream of
