------------------------------

Another good week guys, BaBa your output is insane!! :eek:

Just over 3 weeks until our next team stomp!

Next week is going to be pretty poor from me, I'm going to be swapping out my sandybridge MB and redoing the watercooling at some point, so will switch from bigadv to crunching for a while as the rig will be going on and off a fair bit and I'd probably miss the bonuses.

Have a happy Easter everyone and enjoy the sunshine!

Great news

Now, looks like I have some time off over the Easter Hols - time to start tweeking.

Lets see if I can regain third spot on ppd

This might help:

Dear loudbob, Your Order has been packed and is in the process of being shipped.

Too obvious you have sandy on the way me thinks.

Ta for the news Dekez, looks like my PPD has firmly settled, I may see a tiny increase as I found out EasyTune has been clocking me back down to stock for weeks without noticing so I'm sure those 800mhz I lost will help a little.

loudbob · 22 Apr 2011 at 15:27

Nope - not Sandybridge.

Waiting to see performance of Bulldozer and possibly LGA2011

ToxicTBag · 22 Apr 2011 at 15:41

Thanks for the news Mr dekez sah, i too am waiting on dx secure so i can start folding again.
Hmmm has Mr Loudbob procured a gtx 570/580 by any chance?

loudbob · 22 Apr 2011 at 15:46

Whatever you do - don't tell Delboy - gonna try sneek past him with him noticing

But it is a GPU.......

Pssst.....no worries will keep it on the downlow congrats

loudbob · 22 Apr 2011 at 16:18

I've got six pci-e slots to fill - currently two are occuppied with gt430's.

This new GPU is the first (of two) for the 860 rig.

The 930 rig will need something bigger (me thinks) - an Asus Rampage III deserves it

Depending on Bulldozer - the 860 may be replaced. Bulldozer (if performance is good) or Sandybridge - then the 860 will be demoted to media centre.

Edit: Doesn't help my ppd when I get another P2684

loudbob · 22 Apr 2011 at 20:52

Just a heads up......

Looks like the new Nvidia Driver 270.61 has not been fixed since beta - cannot get it to work with fah.

Had a quick check on interweb and it seems quite widespread.

If anyone has got it working please let us know.

ToxicTBag · 22 Apr 2011 at 20:56

I tried the 270.61 drivers a week or so ago crunching and gtx 470's didn't like em at all, cards would forever clock down in the end went back to 267. drivers

loudbob · 22 Apr 2011 at 21:13

Just as I'm doing now tsk tsk.....

Still at least I know not to update drivers when new shiney item arrives on Monday

joemo13 · 23 Apr 2011 at 09:08

Folding seems to have nearly finished off my current ageing pc, I was saving for an upgrade anyway!

Speed · 23 Apr 2011 at 16:23

Tiffy! Just two more million and I get the big one!

Hope you're not expecting a Monday Delivery......

When I placed my order OcUK website said delivery would be Monday, but I have just checked DX Website and they don't deliver Monday......so I'll be very suprised if my order turns up before Tuesday

Speed · 24 Apr 2011 at 22:29

I guess they don't take into account the bank holidays, which is silly really.

dekez · 24 Apr 2011 at 23:33

Excellent tiffy Speed!

I find it quite annoying courier companies in general don't deliver on weekends as standard, (Saturday delivery cost a fortune), you would think one of them would offer it and it would be a major selling point.

Biffa · 26 Apr 2011 at 08:52

Thanks for the news dekez

You all know it was a Bank Holiday yesterday right?

loudbob · 26 Apr 2011 at 18:42

Yup, me knows.....

But the item was shipped on Thursday (last week) prior 2.00pm via next day delivery - and as stated on DX Website - Normal Service resumes today (Tuesday).

Annoying thing is - I can't even track it - as DX Website doesn't have the details of (yet???)
