Not with an x6 you don'tOriginally Posted by scaryjim
You'd have to go a long way to double the power draw of a processor through overclocking
You will pull approx 250w from the wall at 4ghz at 1.45v. Depending on your mobo.
If you go far north of that expect a heavy toll on your 13 amp plug socket.

List your Folders!That's one of them
Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
Core i7 920 @ 3.4GHz (clocked it back due to power draw), i7 2600 (Turbos to 3.5GHz on all cores under load) and a GTX 580, Also have a GTS 250 I put on when it gets a bit cold

That's a very welcome collection to the team's arsenal! Welcome aboard!Core i7 920 @ 3.4GHz (clocked it back due to power draw), i7 2600 (Turbos to 3.5GHz on all cores under load) and a GTX 580, Also have a GTS 250 I put on when it gets a bit cold
I had to re-read your spec 3 times before I spotted this post - even then I was baffled by you had an un-overclocked 2600... then I spotted the missing K. Shame, cos that'd be worth 40k points on it's own @ 4.5Ghz....
Congrats on your quick progress. Look forward to see how this pans out in the run up to Xmas...
The 2600 is my media PC so didnt need to be the k version
Both the i7's are folding Bigadv units so they put out a fair amount of points, FAH mon is saying the current units are worth about 20k ppd atm.
Just checked the stats, 2nd output atm

BTW downscaling in a few weeks, moving to the 2600 as the main box (about the same speed as the 920 and much lower power).
The 2600 and the 580 will still be folding however.

You're steaming up the ranks!

Tattysnuc has me beat, Still upgrading to Ivy Bridge when there out so I will make sure I get a K series chip

Yeah, he is catching me up quickly as well...
They do these days. My i7 950 runs at 1.168V loaded and 0.912V EIST/light load, giving the occasional surprising result of the following:
(I now run QPI up a step as well from when I took that shot).
It clocks down to x12 or 1943 mhz.

Fair enoughI still like my heavily undervolted Sempy 140 - drops to 0.768v at idle (vcore in the BIOS is 1.05v)! That's as low as my mobo will let me drop it...

I'm guessing you don't a leccy bills that's £185 per month like me then :SFair enough
I've reduced my folding to just my server in the week, with my gaming rig going over the weekend, and being left to finish whatever it starts. Still 50k+ average points per day at the moment, but those bills have been a real wake up call. I'm still blaming that on the Aircon unit in our bedroom that we had to have on over the summer, to the wife, so Shush... no-one snitch.
I'm going to have a go at building my media centre rig this weekend. I'll take lots of piccys and stick up a work log.

50k average? I may have a chance to take top spot for a while
Salazaar : <Touching wood as I write this...>
It could take you a while - 23 million points difference is a fair way, and you're knocking out a very respectable 30k ppd at the moment. I reckon if I stopped folding right now, it'd take you best part of 2 years.50k average? I may have a chance to take top spot for a while
Did you see the SR-3 motherboard teaser that Hexus put up? That looks like my next purchase, pending a lottery win...
.... or a competitive board/chip from AMD....
Just bought a Crucial M4 64gb, might not do anything for my ppd, but will make my computer far more responsive, as I have my windows install on a 60gb partition right now should be an easy swap as well, though not sure what the best way to do it is, been a long time since I moved an active windows install to a new hdd.

You'll need to activate AHCI or whatever it's called too....
Personally, I'd use the opportunity to do a clean install - that way it'll be completely clutter free.
