I'd love to get a 1055T 95W for my rig, it's a real pain it can't be sold without a motherboard here yet

I got rather excited when I saw them, was a huge disappoinment not being able to buy one, not even any available on the bay of fleas

 

[dekez]

Yeah same here, stupid decision by AMD, I really don't understand why they don't just release both the 125w and the 95w and make one cheaper than the other.

That's pretty damned good. My 950 @4.4GHz gets about 21,000 on P6060s.

 

[didgemaster]

all your GTX470s running?

 

[Biffa]

None

 

[Frozennova]

Youve gave him a 6 core shaped heart havent you

 

[Biffa]

Yes, and strangely its running 20° cooler than the 4 cored variety.

I think I might have got a good chip for a change

 

[Frozennova]

A good chip and the fact that its on a smaller process.

Dont suppose you know anything about linux folding do you biffa?

 

[Biffa]

Only from using notfred

 

[Biffa]

Wewp!

 

[Frozennova]

Congrats thats one mega tiffy.

I can understand how I had the GPU folding, then a restart later and it just errors out with an Unstable machine error

 

[didgemaster]

Mr Biffa - with these tiffys you are spoiling us


Congratulations sir

 

[Speed]

that is one weighty tiff imho

 

[Stan_Lite]

Lovely tiffy Biffa

True to form, two days after leaving home, one of my rigs has given up the ghost. It's the UD3R which was churning away quite happily at 4.1GHz for about a week before I left. My own fault really. I thought about turning down the OC to be on the safe side but decided that a week without a hitch indicated a stable OC. Should have known better really I would ask my flatmate to switch it back on but, chances are, if it's the OC which is unstable, it'll just fall over again. Ah well, them's the breaks.

New memory arrived today and it turns out that I managed to kill the IMC in my chip so got a bit of a loan from my step-mum and ordered a PII 955. I would have gone for a 1055T but I couldnt afford this replacement let alone more money on a 955

 

[miniyazz]

So it was the CPU all along?
