Well that's another of the threat list, though 25K PPD will be missed
Indeed I can stop looking over my shoulder now
But it was good to have you with us, feel free to pop back for another mil anytime!

Just to let you know that I have a few issues.
Firstly, I'm having some stability issues with a couple of machines. My main gaming rig is a core i7 920 running at 3.8GHz with 2xHD4890s. It's running 2 GPU2 clients and 1 SMP client. This is 100% stable but the HD4890s are very noisy and give poor PPD. They will be changed out for a pair of GTX295s when I can get my hands on some. The machine in the bedroom is a Q6600 running 2 Windows SMP clients. This is 100% stable at 3.4GHz. My old gaming rig is in the same room as my new gaming rig and is used mostly for photo editing and web browsing. It has a Q6600 at 3.4GHz and an 8800GTX and is running 1 GPU2 client and 1 SMP client. This is slightly unstable and probably just needs a slight voltage bump. The media machine in the living room is a Q6600 on a crappy mATX board. It is very unstable and crashes after about an hour with a very modest OC. I'll be working with that today. I have a spare DS3L which I'll put in. This will require a format and OS install - luckily, the system drive is completely separate from the storage drives and all the media is backed up also, so should be safe. Hopefully, by the end of the day, I will have four stable rigs Folding merrily away.
The other issue I have is work. For those of you who don't know me, I work away from home on an oil rig. I work 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off. I won't be leaving the entire farm running while I'm away but I will be leaving a couple of machines running. This means that the for half the time, I will be running on reduced capacity.
Plan for today is to rebuild the media machine in the living room and fiddle with the OC on the other unstable machine. I may possibly move graphics cards around. I'm toying with the idea of bunging the 8800GTX in the i7 gaming rig temporarily until I get the 295s (probably end of January). I won't be doing much gaming until then and it'll help cut down the racket. The 8800 gives almost as much PPD as the two 4890s together. I would stick the two 4890s into two other rigs - probably the bedroom and the living room.
Long term, the plan is to get the 295s for the new gaming rigs when some are available and I have the money. I also intend watercooling the gaming rig so I can hopefully push it a bit further. It will run happily at 4.2GHz but not stable enough to Fold without more voltage. I don't have sufficient cooling to up the volts at the moment but should be able to when it's under water. If I get that watercooled and 2xGTX295s in it, it should be a monster
I'll let you know how I get on
