w00t cracked the top 100 and gone red to boot!

Nicely done guys! Should set a new team monthly record this month

Should just about make it. I dont think I'll beat my last months figure. Left it too late with these bigadv units.

[nibbler]

first ever day of more than 10k points

first ever day of more than 10k points

You've done well today mate

[nibbler]

You've done better though, we're having a great month that's for sure

[1stRaven]

Just think of the points coming in Jan!

[Golden Dragoon]

Ohhh yeah!

Shocking, you are getting a little less on your GPU than me, yet my Q6600@3.4, is getting half what your AMD@3.8 is getting on similar work units (mine are reported as 481 credit, yours are 483 credit)
Only difference I can see is my cpu is running the A3 gromacs core, while yours seems to be on the SMP2 gromacs core.

[nibbler]

Didn't you say you had locked out 1 core for the GPU?
Still, should be higher. That said a phenom II is more efficient to start with iirc and it is 400mhz difference, which raised my ppd but about 2k.

[Terbinator]

Time to crank up the Q6600.

[Tattysnuc]

Maybe all those AMD ANTI INTEL fanboys were right when they said that AMD's were better than Intel....

(and let the Xmas flaming begin)

[nibbler]

Value for money I'd say they are unless you're running bigadv units.
This CPU was £50 but is as fast as an i7 920 atm
Getting money for xmas this year so with any luck if I sell on my current CPU I can get a 1055T

[1stRaven]

I'll keep my Xeons. lol

Just set another bigadv server going. I think I should hit 400k points tomorrow if all of the scheduled units go through.

I should stop comparing apples to oranges lol
You are right, I had thought I had removed the smp3 flag when I switched to the nvidia card, but it is still there lurking in the config file, I had only removed it from the shortcut.

Time to crank up the Q6600.

It can hit 3.8 with enough volts, but the excess power consumption and heat just isn't worth it, I may drop the multi though and run a faster fsb though.

[Legthigh]

Nooooo... Been out all day and left some stuff switched off

[scaryjim]

Don't worry Legthigh, you're climbing the team rankings quickly enough as it is! I've canned all my folding for Christmas (had to turn off the work server and just can't afford the electricity to run Kali 24/7 (don't want to think about what'll happen when I get the extra 8800GTX and overclock everything ) so I won't be producing until January now I'm afraid guys: still, it'll let a few people catch up to me before I kick off again in the new year

Anyone know how easy it is to switch BIOS chips on an MSI K9A2 Platinum? I got one sold as seen and have tried every other BIOS rescue procedure I've been able to google up, to no avail. With 4 PCIe slots it'd make a lovely base for a GPU folding farm (add an Athlon II 605e and 4 recent NVidia cards and it should be a killer in terms of ppd/watt)...
