Purchased a Asus P7H55-M mobo from ocuk earlier not sure what im going to do with it but it has folding potential. It'll give me something to play with

I don't know a great deal about Intel chips so how would a i7 860 preform PPD wise ?

47.. what the hell are you braiding

May I also suggest once you have all your clients up and running you give them better names that SMP 1, SMP 2, GPU 1.. etc!

Name each machine and then number the clients.

CoffeePot SMP 1
CoffeePot GPU 1
etc

Malboro SMP 1
Malboro GPU 1
etc

Thats a definate on the names cheers for the input Mr SiriusB. Hopefully once i get 3 cards back from rma that'll be 24 cables for braiding plus fans etc etc etc......and a few months away until all the bits come a one of a kind box with a Bioshock theme. Now spit....what do you have up your sleeve, i know your planning something

I would say that is the sensible way to do it as normal A3's are a darn site quicker to finish than BigAdv units.

Yup think thats the way i will go, seems the seti munster has awoken from its sleep but its not going to poach machine 2...sorry coffee pot...away from folding

 

[Biffa]

Uh but Toxic you are already doing bigadv units. You only need to qualify once for bigadv

Mine's clocked to about 3.6GHz on air and, running bigadv WUs, gives me around 29k PPD.

Seriously? My i7 920s are at 4GHz and get about 33K PPD. I guess the 860's aren't too shabby!

 

[dekez]

Can the 860's clock to 4GHz as easily as the 920s?

 

[Frozennova]

860s clock the same as 920-950 and will produce the same PPD, they're all quads with hyperthreading. the 860 just doesnt have triple channel memory and the 16/16 pcie

Oh dear so i am allready qualified to do it, i thought the general conscensus was that i neede to do x amount smp before i get the adv bonuses so i started doing 10 smp then i was going to go back to adv.
Soooooo am i ok to go back to adv and will i get my bonuses or should i plod along on smp....so very confusing....doh there goes another frazzled brain cell

29 million thats positively obscene....bravo Mr Biffa

 

[SiriusB]

Have you done any folding before you set up bigadv Toxic?

 

[ToxicTBag]

I did some but not sure how many wu's of the required 10 is it for smp

 

[Frozennova]

Was you getting basic points or was you getting bonuses Toxic

 

[ToxicTBag]

Was you getting basic points or was you getting bonuses Toxic

I is not sure to be honest Mr Frozennova

 

[SiriusB]

If both your machines were crunching SMP before you decided to go bigadv, it is entirely possible you managed the 10 WUs you need.

Christ, you have folded over 700 WUs in the last 6 weeks! I suspect 10 of those might have been SMP!

Okellydokellydo its back to bigadv this evening then...tis all good

Can't do that - the launch is next week........

 

[SiriusB]

Remember to put sandbar detectors on!

And keep tugs away!

 

[ToxicTBag]

If the nuclear reactor fails for whatever reason i'll loan you a gtx 480 to jump start.....just kidding hope it all goes to plan
