Folding@home news 11th -18th April 2013

The weather isn't hot yet :eek:

My i7 2600K @4.6 runs around 70c 24/7 on a Corsair H100 watercooler thingy at mid fan speeds (it's a bit too noisy to run full speeds). Have to see where that sits as summer approaches.
 
Hi guys. Decided to fire up the folding client after being off it for many months. I remember when I first got my 670, the PPD was always below 20K, now the units I'm folding are estimating 25K PPD, have improvements been made to Kepler GPUs? I'm not too good with setting up the f@h stuff, so are there any settings people recommend?
I'm not running my CPU, just the 670 at stock settings (I remember when I overclocked and ran it, though the GPU was stable in games, it would often cause WU to fail!) and have the slider on 'Full' so the GPU is running all the time, am I getting a PPD that I should be getting? I have been getting this weird bug where my PC just freezes for a couple of minutes, and this happens a few times an hour, but I take it this is due to the GPU under heavy load.

Many thanks!

I have the H80 but the stock fans were really noisy so changed them out for a couple of corsair SP120 silent fans, it may a massive difference.

So on an AMD Phenom II 1055T I shouldn't be worried about 56C? It's the location of the PC now, it's in a corner so the heat gets trapped in the corner, the shelf above stops it escaping properly :(

My Reference GTX670 also gets about 25k PPD but even though I haven't overclocked it, it runs at 1080Mhz when folding with it. Odd. But yeah 25K is a ndecent score for the GTX670 I think.

My Oc'd 670s get about 28k each on the current 8070/8071 WUs so your 25k at stock sounds about right. When I was getting the 762* WUs it was about 40k per GPU. I hope we get them back soon.

They took the beta WUs off very soon after a very heated debate between a lot of 4p system owners and Stanford. I heard some people were getting over 200.000 PPD on a GTX680 with those beta WUs.
 
I think he meant the beta wus that are still going around if you can get them, you get around 45K out of a 7970 and 50K out of a GTX580
