I was having a bash at bigadv again and happened to have both rigs dump on consecutive days. I've switched back to SMP again as bigadv still needs a lot of maintenance and neither machine had any success with the new A3 bigadv WUs. I'm off back to work on Monday so I can't take the risk of running bigadv while I'm away. I've added the -bigadv flag to both SMP clients in case they get them working for Windows while I'm away

Back to normal now. HFM reporting about 75k-80k ppd. Keep checking your rear view mirror

 

[Biffa]

Not sure if I need to

 

[Stan_Lite]

Oooooh. Finally got it going. Nice one dude Enjoy life at the top - looks like you'll be there on your own for a bit

Still got to watercool the blighters and then I can add the 4th card.

Go the shaders/mem at 1440/1675 at the moment, to get the same as a stock 480 I'd need to push the shaders up to 1580, not sure if I'd need to do the memory too, 1675 mem is stock for the GTX470, the 1440 on the shaders is a 200Mhz overclock that gave nearly a 3K boost in PPD.

Will be interesting balancing power/cooling/output with these, but I think that single rig with the 4 cards and A3-SMP will push around 70K on Folding.

Be interesting to see what it does on BOINC

Did you say anywhere you were getting GTX470s? If so I missed it. Get some pics uploaded and on here... please!

I did mention it a few times in the Seti Thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=16706887&highlight=aquagrafx#post16706887

Boxes!

GTX470 vs GTX480

3 x GTX470 in situ:

 

[miniyazz]

So that's why you sold off your 295s

 

[Biffa]

4 x 295's for 4 x 470's almost penny for penny.

Now I just have to offload the water blocks for the 295's.. thats proving try my patience a bit.

In the mean time I have a GTX 260 going into MM and ecstasy bay with the water block.

 

[miniyazz]

Anything meeting my pricing?

 

[Biffa]

Whats your pricing? thread is here

Whoops sold already.

 

[miniyazz]

Lol, my pricing is lower than what you sold it for

 

[Biffa]

I actually sold it for more than that on the bay

 

[miniyazz]

Hehe, fair enough. I don't use it so much because the fees put me off - you don't lose anything by sticking it on the MM, even if you don't get as much for it.

 

[Biffa]

Got home and another parcel had arrived from Germany

 

[Biffa]

Box arrives... yummy:

Oooh whats inside sweets?:

Yummy blocks, just love the look and size.

Shiney!!!

 

[Marine Iguana]

You got sweets

 

[Biffa]

And coffee, but I had to make it myself

I watched the video from the seti thread. The cards look so good with those blocks on. Would be good to see some pics of the system when you have it finished.

Oh and this is cool!
