Well done guys, the God Peptideus looks down on you favourably. :mrgreen:

not bad! I would fold again but with me having no job again and my dad having a 90% chance of losing his job this year, i cant afford the electricity :P

If nextyear is good then perhaps ill be folding with a whole new rig :).

It's doing an excellent job keeping my room nice and warm :)

never mind my server room. lol

If my GPUs weren't quite as loud, I'd gladly fold for HEXUS. Maybe after I get a nice new VGA cooler.

Great job to everyone involved!

Run it on your CPU?

Even idling, my gaming PC - which is on my right, as opposed to my work PC, which is on my left - is too loud...the constant humming would just start to annoy me if I was sat next to it all day.

There's a reason my work PC is built with only one very large, very slow fan :P

I keep hearing about folding these days, isnt it something similar to GIMPS?

:clapping:

Well done guys; whats happened to improve the points so dramaticaly over the last month? The graph looks insane.

Couldn't you guys perhaps burn a few work units off as part of your stability tests when putting systems together? ;) :mrgreen:

That may sound like a silly suggestion but it really isnt. It's GPU and CPU based, and in my experience if an overclock's going to fail, folding @ home will find it's weak spot and bring it down to size. I've had processors pass 12+hours on small ffts, while running 32m places in superpi while also running 32m places in Prime95 on a loop, and these have fallen over when folding.

What do Scan use to stability test their overclocks?
