Folding Chit-Chat

My internet is playing up, no WUs for a while

We flew through the 150M landmark. Well done everyone!

Platinum's making great progress - up to 57k ppd average. Nearly caught me in the production stakes.! I had 2 work units finish esterday, both 6900's but, only one of them was credited the full amount - the other only got awarded 11k which was a bit disappointing.

I've decided to plum for a Z68 ITX board rather than a Socket 775, so my existign 775 board will be going upfor sale. I plan to stick a 2600K in it and forgo the GPU. Should be able to get a few more PPD or the amount of leccy it will use. Still planning on using water though. Means I don't have to worry quite so much about the PSU's requirements, and can use a lower rated, smaller, PSU.

Should be cooler too. Still might stick a card in there to test the overclock on the CPU though. What's a better torture (producive) test eh?

After this weekend ill be down to one CPU folding Bigadv and the GTX 580 so your lead is safe for now, if I can get a cheap S1155 CPU however I may be able to stick another GPU on folding

[Platinum]

Actually just checked the stats and I am top producer for the moment, w00t

Board arrived today. I've got:

1. Z68-ITX board
2. 2x2Gb 1.65v Corsair Ram
3. Zalman 550W Heatpipe PSU or CIT depending on the CIT's load bearing characteristics.
4. Stock fan (temporary measure)
5. 30gb 2.5" Toshiba Hard Drive
6. Shuttle Case

2600K CPU has just been ordered - well it's my birthday next week, so why not?

I'm going to see how this CPU overclocks before I decide which rig to stick it in. I've got 2 rigs with 2600K's in them already, so the fastest ones should be up and folding all the time, which means this rig is one of those.

I've got a couple of Phobya double width 1.120 rads, a Lang D5, res and Swiftech Apogee GTZ waterblock which I'm intending to mod to fit the board.

Going to get the kit up and running tomorrow night, just to test it all out (under air) and then I'll see how much it overclocks before I put it into the shuttle case and get the mod underway.

yeah but not for long.

I've got 2 work units finishing today, so my average is at it's lowest point before it gets bumped back up - unless my missing bonus points from my server get missed again

PS. Well done!

/looks at Sandy Bridge E, hmmm

I see a bit of back-and-forth there, very nice. Now go spend all your hard-earned moneys on folding rigs

[Golden Dragoon]

Think I may start folding on my htpc again, thing is I doubt the psu that came with the case would stand upto it for long, can anyone recommend a mATX psu that is any good?

I have a Silverstone SST-ST45SF 450W SFX (matx) power supply in my gaming rig, specs to the left. I've been running a 2 thread SMP and GPU client 24/7 for the last two weeks, no problems at all. Available at Scan for £67 here.

[Golden Dragoon]

How quiet is that supply, it may cost twice what the case + psu combo cost me but if it is quiet then it could be worth it as the current psu is quiet when playing back videos and other light tasks, but gets reasonably annoying when pushed.

[DDY]

It's pretty quiet, I can never hear it above any other fan.

This review shows the fan only ever ramps up at about 450W load, my system under full load hits 244W max.

[Queelis]

Aaargh, I'm SO close to an X6 1100T (second hand, almost for half price of new)! I hope this one deal goes through, that'll see my PPD increase.

After I do part 3 of the undervolting adventure, of course

[The_Wheelhouse]

I'm back but I'm only folding on an i3 2310m so at the minute my PPD is going to be pretty low. The current unit I'm on will take me about 2 days to complete
