F@H news - Wednesday 13-20 January

A waterblock for my 8800gt turned up today, courtesy of SS. Cheers man So I should have two of them folding in a couple of days. Cheers for your estimate MI, 10k per day would be very good.

Does anyone know if "shaders" are in the "core" and so cooled by a core only waterblock, or somewhere else on the card so reliant on air cooling? If they're in the silvery bit in the middle then I can put shader clocks up considerably more.

Single cruncher here too. You're a good man for posting the news threads.

I beleive they are in the chip - that the only bit I cool anyway

Yep the "Stream Processors" (as Nvidia calls them) are part of the main chip on your card. Good luck with the clocking

Sounds good. I'm now the proud owner of a second 8800gt, a core only waterblock, and a d-tek heatsink for the card. Unfortunately the heatsink and waterblock aren't compatible. Still, fingers crossed I'll be folding on it by tomorrow night.

What OS are you using Sirius? Ironic that you have a guide to setting it up in your sig :s
