A jump up in production this week guys!!! Nice work!

Speed I've finally added in the leaderboard! :p

The tiffys I will update when I get home tonight using SBs script, many thanks for that and for the work you're currently doing to create a news generator. I'm looking forward to the reduction in cutting and pasting from various stats sites!

My production has dropped a bit, the gf has caught on that my second rig is on all the time and started turning it off again :mad:, plus I keep on getting 11K GPU3 units, don't know where all the 15K ones have gone :(

Thanks for the news dekez - and it's me that has all the 15k units ;)

The top 100 - its that top 100 active users by total score.
With 86 active members where does the extra 14 come from?

Not looking forward to my impending stomp...
but I've stomped you twice SB and I'll stomp you again, even if it's next summer :D
 
Thanks for the new Dekez. Looks like you overtook me in production this week.. or someone did. I am down to 9th! :mad:

Might be able to squeeze out a bit more PPD this weekend as I plan to bump up Raven [main rig] to 4GHz from 3.8. Might even try for 4.2GHz again and see if it is stable. It would do that Grey Screen of Death crap when running at 4.2 last time. I am hoping the ATi drivers are improved or the system is sufficiently burned in to take it!

Windward, my server, can probably go up to about 4 if I have the patience - and the attic doesn't get too hot! :D

Since my weekend is now mostly free, I should be able to finish the news generator. I plan to grab the stats tomorrow night, and again next Saturday then see how close the output is to next week's news [be two days' points difference, but generally should look about right!]. If that passes, then I will hand over the script. :D

I hope to have at least one machine folding throughout the year once I have improved the airflow in the attic. That should be good for around 15K PPD.
 
I'm nearly at max output.
Once my new board arrives I can reuse one of the surplus 8800's and this will give me a maximum output of around 45k ppd.
I'm out of cash so can't increase on that anytime soon.
It's only through stupid competitativity that I've spent this much!

Give them back! :p

It wouldn't be a dekez news unless I ballsed something up! It is supposed to be the team top 100 ranking of all members, active or inactive, I've corrected it now. :)

Good week! Thanks for the update, dekez. Looks like we are advancing well towards 2CPU and the national team of Poland. I foresee stompage ahead. A few minor changes to my setup this week, so production should be steady now. My little Xeon will be clocked properly this weekend, too, so hopefully some bigadv fun at last!
 
So, how much heat does a GTX460 chuck out, and what power draw? My server has a pretty decent Corsair 650W PSU. Should be enough, right?

I can make back a bit of money on my GTX260, assuming of course the 460 is worth getting and will improve on 7-8K PPD.

I get anywhere between 11K-16.5K PPD on my OCed MSI Cyclone version. In my opinion it is worth the upgrade, as its thermal and power characteristics are not that different form a 260 model.
 
I'd definitely recommend the 460, I think quite a few of us have the cyclone now.

I'd replace my 2 260s as well but they are under water at the moment and I don't fancy splashing out for new cards and blocks any time soon.

You'll be fine, I figured I could squeeze a 460 in with my 400w PSU and still have 70-100w spare
 
AAAARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

HDD failure on my folding rig:mad:

Now rebuilding, but a new MB should be here early next week and so I know I'll be doing it again....
