Bit of a rebound for the team, back up to a very respectable PPD again :cool:

I have SB arriving on Monday!!!

So I am very excited about that, although it's going to be a fair bit of work as I have to pinch some watercooling bits from my other system, so will have to drain it and rebuild both. I'm going to do as much prep as I can this weekend though, fingers crossed everything works ok!

Ta for the news dekez, im only running a mild overclock for the next few weeks due to puncturing my EK 240mm rad earlier on

Pilgrim57 · 21 Jan 2011 at 15:41

Thanks for the news dekez

good luck with the SB build. I presume you've read the forum here about problems & how best to succeed. Lets us know how you get on.

Although my production is up due to SETI probs. I have dropped out the top 20

I'm awaiting the release of the 560 next week & if <£200 I feel I might upgrade as some of the Xmas money is waiting for a good cause.

I'm back up to third on production, although how I don't know. FoldingTwo crashed the other day. Upped the vCore and QPI on the overclock to see if that helps but it has been stable for weeks. :rolleyes:

petriodet · 21 Jan 2011 at 18:22

first 100 wu

BaBa · 21 Jan 2011 at 18:30

Thanks for the news Mr Dekez

Go on BA . . . . Bully that biffa!

Ive had a good week this week no crashes and a good supply of bigadv but just on my second 2684 in a row now

Heat must have been my problem, now with a desk fan blowing into the side of it Hydra has been stable for a week

Water kit arrived earlier, time to get out the dremel

Biffa · 22 Jan 2011 at 00:56

Weebeastie down for most of the week affected both Folding and Seti output sorry guys. Back up to steam now hopefully. Had to knock the OC down on the GTX470's a tad (775 instead of 800)

Also switched Mars over from i7 to SB which has been fun but caused a few delays as well in both projects.

dekez · 22 Jan 2011 at 02:12

just had aa quiz, looooooooooooooooovee all ou guyus! you are all wiackdd. a bit duunk and had a qualit tcxi driver but neeed bed now

LOL.... drunk posts F-T-W!

Made my morning Dekez.

On a more positive note I start my new job on February 1st and will be putting £40 a week into my upgrade pot so should have around £400 saved ready for bulldozer launch, if not a little more depending on when they actually release

Biffa · 22 Jan 2011 at 11:01

Dekez re SB, I'm getting 27min/frame on a 2686 bigadv for 37K PPD without any gpu

Thats a 2600K @ 4.6Ghz

Putting the GTX460 crunching seti drops that by 5K

Is that just a bad wu or is that right for 2600k @ 4.6Ghz? Would have thought it would be closer to 40k-45k PPD.

Frozennova · 22 Jan 2011 at 12:03

I believe thats a bad WU delboy, AFAIK they're good for 50k on the right WUs

dekez · 22 Jan 2011 at 15:39

sooooo hungover it's not funny!!! At least I know what time I got home now!

Biffa do you know if 260s have the same effect of dropping the big adv PPD?

If not I may put my 260 into the bigadv SB rig and move the two 460s into my other rig.

Frozennova · 22 Jan 2011 at 15:48

I thought it was only Fermi that affected Bigadv too much as it was more CPU hungry when folding. Good night then dekez

dekez · 22 Jan 2011 at 15:54

Cool I'll try that then on Monday.

Yes very good thanks! It was a Macmillan organised quiz for charity, £10 entry and booze is included and you can also bring your own. We came 2nd, and then it all gets a bit blurry after that, I have no idea why I thought my taxi driver was quality!

Biffa · 22 Jan 2011 at 16:45

Its hard to tell really, I'd need the same WU as previous tests.

BaBa · 22 Jan 2011 at 18:47

Anyone folded on xp64 and windoes 7 64 if so is performance the same, a small % change could make a big differance for me on bigadv.
