Folding Chit-Chat

[Tattysnuc]

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)

Whoever they are, they were folding for Default (Team 0) for the first few weeks of their tenure, and therefore missed out on recording their score here. That would tie in them starting ROUGHLY with Hexus running the article.

Beyond that, I've no idea, but welcome aboard Wobbler88! 1stRavens having to actually do some work for a change, so we need to pick up his slack

(This coming from the guy who's got several thousand pounds of PC components in pieces gathering dust and has had so for 3 weeks....)

Good news - specialtech have finally posted out my new dual D5 Koolance res.

The down side is I've been headhunted and got to revise my CV for the first time in 4 years... Man it looks and sounds dated. That coupled with a Microsoft Dynamics exam (resit) tomorrow am, is really taking up all my time. Thank god for you good folk providing a very welcome distraction.

Just got 88% in a mock exam, which is a pass, so I'm going to raid the homebrew and have a wind-down pint before an early night.

Congrats and good luck for the exam. Looks like a bigadv unit dropping in today and brought me briefly back over the 100k mark.

Congrats on the headhunt MOAR COMPONENTS in the future, I presume?

I wish.... Got to finish paying for those which I've bought already, and if the position does come off, then I'll have even less time to build computers here at home as I'd have to work away more.

It'd pay the leccy bills, which would mean I could run more simultaneously though

Exam's in 1hr 25 mins. Starting to feel nervous now..... Thanks for all the encouragement! These microsoft dynamics Nav certifications are so difficult when you don't have a vanilla copy to learn on because your infrastructure administrator has taken away your admin permissions on the local machine.... Shame I didn;t find out until I started revising (again) yesterday, so my own fault really.

Fingers crossed!

[Tattysnuc]

Yay! Passed! Off to happy work now...

[Terbinator]

Nice to hear mate!

[Englander]

Nicely done

Also, completed my 2000th WU and set a new daily record of 23,905. 3 more days and I'll take 9th place

[1stRaven]

Congrats Tatty.

[Tattysnuc]

Thanks mate. Got to try and cram another exam in before the end of march to reach the minimum criteria for my appraisal this year, so I guess I'll give it a couple of weeks, then start the learning process again. Any of you guys use Microsoft Dynamics Nav?

[scaryjim]

Congrats! I don't even know what Microsoft Dynamics Nav is, to be honest. And I get paid to manage Windows Servers!

EDIT: I have googled. Not so concerned about not having heard of it now

Right up to 1775MHz on the shaders on my GTX 460 now (887.5MHz on the GPU clock) which I'm very surprised it can maintain. 11.6K PPD on a 1384 point unit.

Can you change the voltage applied on that card in software, or is it "hard wired"?

[nibbler]

I get 11.7K at 850mhz core and memory at stock. Guess the difference there is just due to slightly wider memory bus on my card.

[Englander]

Ooh, 12.1K PPD now on the 1348 pointers! How terribly exciting. One has failed though so I'm going to keep an eye on it. Perhaps it was a different flavour work unit that is more sensitive to overclocks.

@Tatty, 'tis adjustable via MSI Afterburner. Goes all the way up to 1087mV, I've currently got it set at 1037mV which is a slight overclock from stock.

[Terbinator]

Has anyone managed to get the Afterburner voltage unlock to work? I tried the 'unlocked' voltage version and it still would only apply 1087mV.

[Golden Dragoon]

I decided to keep mine at 835mhz core at the stock volts of .962, at stock 675mhz it can undervolt drastically, and got it to do a run of 3dmark06 at 1050mhz max that afterburner allows while overvolted to 1.1v, heat, noise and fear stopped me from trying more benches, though that was with the gt240 removed from the system, with it installed afterburner causes bsod's and can't figure out why.
