    I've seen Terbi is in the process of upgrading/utilising a new CPU.
    Queelis is off for the summer.

    What's everyone else up to?
    I'm not in posession of anything that will fold at the moment, when I'm at uni though I'll be using my free electricity combined with a GTX560ti and a 2500k/bulldozer/llano to get through some units

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    What TPF/When's the deadline/How long do you have to complete those bigbeta units? Also, you really should try folding in Fedora.. somehow it's way more efficient than folding in Windows.

    Does running *nix via Sandbox have any performance hits?

    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.

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    Running -bigadv on 980X/970s in Fedora via vmware seems to scrape ~10% off the TPF. I don't know if you'll see similar results for other situations, but I would probably think so...

    I'm still in the middle of a BIGADV unit. Once that's finished I'll switch over to the newer ones. The latest BIGADV's are taking longer to process than usual, so it looks like the maintenance that I've been threatening to do, has suddenly become more urgent as the current one won't get me any bonus points.

    I can't use Fredora as it's a Windows Server and it runs MANY other things, including my media server, Virtual Machine Server...

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    well, my home machine is fully built up again. A few upgrades this time but the main one being a 2600k and 12tb of storage.



    I think i may have some issues with heat on the graphics cards though...



    I just need to now work out why I cant get it to overclock past 3.7gb without freezers and blue screens.

    Wow, that's impressive!

    Which RAID card is that? Does it start to get toasty?

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    Its a dell perc 6/i. I fitted a 40mm fan to it to keep it cool but not really pushed the rig yet to check it. It does allow me to copy a 1gb avi file in less than 4 seconds though so decent throughput.

    Re: Folding Chit-Chat

    btw it seems i got 1.5k from one WU yesterday so maybe my bonus points are being added, although even then i would only be getting around 6k from a 1100T...

    How do you manage to get bigadv units on a hexcore? Do you have to do all that linux trickery or am I missing something?

    Yeah, Linux trickery.

    Mostly found here..
    There are a few lines in that guide that I wouldn't write but it's all personal preference I suppose.
