Good week guys we are now 24th in team production.

Some extreme slacking going on on my part, finally got round to removing my SB motherboard and sent it off yesterday, my watercooling bits arrived and I've put together what I can ready for when the B3 board is returned.

Hopefully I can get up and running before Sir-Les stomps me!

Ta for the news dekez.

You've repeated the part referring to your sandy build.

ToxicTBag · 6 May 2011 at 16:03

Thanks for the news Mr dekez sah, looking forward to appearing somewhere in it next week

dekez · 6 May 2011 at 16:26

You're welcome guys, yeah I've not really progressed on my build much from last week!

Will be good to have you back in there Mr T

Biffa · 6 May 2011 at 17:37

I really need to move the SR-2 onto Linux

I just don't have the time. At this rate BaBa will catch me in just under 4 months :eek:

BeeP · 6 May 2011 at 22:53

Thanks for the news again dekez.

Finally got rid of my smelly XSPC tubing today so I can leave the rig on at nights again.

I'm starting to enjoy all this folding lark, even thinking of leaving my work PC on at nights folding.......addictive even for someone at the very low end of the scale like me.

dekez · 6 May 2011 at 23:56

It's a slippery slope, we all started at the low end of the scale

Frozennova · 7 May 2011 at 08:14

You'll find yourself upgrading next not because you need to but because your being accused of being a slacker and need more PPD

BaBa · 7 May 2011 at 14:24

Thanks for the news dekez

Having a strange problem with one of my i7 860's on bigadv it has been running 1333 8-8-8-24 1t (actual speed 12XX due to oveclock) ram and doing 38-9 min frames.

I had some spare ram from another project 1600 7-8-7-21 ok with the overclock i have its running @1540 but it is doing 7-8-7-21 1t and the frame times have gone upto 42 mins?!

Edit: Just seen on the ff that 2684's are getting a boost in points

At last!

BaBa · 7 May 2011 at 20:06

Seems the changes to 2684's give about 430k ppd still not as good as the rest by 100k ppd but better than it was by 100k on Hydra

A warm welcome to the team

Didn't expect that mention, cheers

I have just got into folding as my PC is usually just for gaming and I do everything else on my mac so while not in use I use folding+my water cooled rig as a heater

I have to say though, I have found it quite addictive

dekez · 8 May 2011 at 19:01

Good to have you with us, nice looking rig you have there

Speed · 9 May 2011 at 15:13

I want my 19 Million Certificate! lol :mad:

Apparently 19,057,560 only gets me the 18 million one! :confused:

Guess it has to be 19,100,000 +

Frozennova · 9 May 2011 at 19:39

It might be on the next update speed, stanford are normally a little behind with tiffy updates.

Speed · 10 May 2011 at 15:57

Doesn't look like it, I kept checking, I got to 19 million on the 8th as far as I'm aware. It did however change pretty much right away once I reached 19,149,776 and once update had passed! :confused:

Ahh well, got it now! One more to go...

dekez · 10 May 2011 at 16:08

Congrats speed

, but once you get to 20mil, you'll need to get to 25mil

Thanks! Yeah no doubt, but I'll be packing it in at 20 million. Maybe not permanently but at least for now until I get a more reliable income.

PermaBanned · 10 May 2011 at 18:10

Yeah, you say that now

Frozennova · 10 May 2011 at 22:11

I'm guilty of slacking massively today as I've been doing some overclocking and benching for the OCUK/Gigabyte OC competition.

Was you only dumping that one Bigadv Toxic just to give you a little more time till the impending stomp
