Folding Chit-Chat

[Tattysnuc]

I know what you mean Jim.

I'm not sure how but I am hanging on to the 100kppd at the moment.

... and I'm still only making 50k ppd. I've been waiting for a new reservoir for my system from Specialtech since 3rd January. Talk about excuses... Rung up twice so far, and I think that they've probably had a few people chasing, based on their response. Bit dramatic for customer services though

"...somedays I just want to stick 2 pencils up my nose and head butt the table..."

Looks like my self imposed ban on buying computer hardware lasted 3 days this year. I've got an exam this week (Microsoft Certification) so I'll be back on the folding case straight back after that.

I do forget just how long routing cables and tubing takes. Since I moved to compression fittings, everything is taking 10 times longer!

I am preventing myself from buying a sandy bridge upgrade to replace my E8400 that I have at the moment. A little too expensive at the moment even if it would help my ppd count.

I too am fighting the urges.... It ends up that I now have:

1x970 i7
1x980x i7
1x950 i7
2x920 i7
1xQ6600
1xE8500
plus laptop

and I only have the 980i, E8500 and laptop working at the moment, which is a bit of an excessive "spares" list. I did promise myself I'd pay off my credit card this year, which is going to be difficult at best. Can't wait to get stuck into building all of them!

so your going to be catching up by the end of the year then.....

so your going to be catching up by the end of the year then.....

I was always intending to. I'm a classic case of someone who never gets round to finishing things. Kinda why I'm breaking the current pc project (Project "Boreas") into sections where I can get the main PC up without having to finish my home made Boreas unit. Must take some pictures otherwise that'll be another project log missed...

Now I've got my server up and running, I'm loathed to take it down, especially as when I have part finished work units. I've just finished backing up the 1.6 TB of data so just waiting for a window of opportunity now... Preferably when I don;t have a hangover like yesterday....

Good to see you added the joint folder of the year to your sig. Well deserved sir! I was dead chuffed that we both got it!

Well, it needed an update and I added a link to the folding section as well.

Only 1.6tb's?

[scaryjim]

Anyone know who "wobbler88" is? They're folding for Hexus and catching me fast...

OK, I really want to know who this is now, since they're about to go past me. I worked hard to get up to 64th (or whatever it is)

[nibbler]

Couldn't tell you




Yes, I have done that smiley in order to make you think that I know who this guy is.

[1stRaven]

there goes my 100kppd average.

[scaryjim]

Oooh, nibbler you cheeky youth - I almost fell for that

Although there is a disturbing similarity between the names, dontchathink?

[shbris]

anyone else getting these sucky project 6805 gpu3 assignments

[nibbler]

P6806 here, what's the credi tof a 6805?

[shbris]

sorry i meant 6806/6801 projects, they're like half ppd than 6805

[Tattysnuc]

I've got a 6900 unit running on my 980i (Bigadv), a 10504 and a 5782 on my GTX 295. On my wife's shuttle I've a 10200 unit on my E8500 and a 5784 on the 9600GT. They're all running about the usual levels giving me a combined output of 47k-51k on FAHMon depending on when the readings are taken...

[scaryjim]

I'm still recovering from that stupid 250k unit I got a few days - AFAICT it was worth close on 4,500 points, but took the better part of two days to get through

Looking back at the month, if I can push my output up a little bit I can get a third consecutive month of > 100% points growth. To hit that I need to make another 42K points in 11 days, so ~ 4kppd continuously. Going to have to fire up something at home, I think...
