I need to change the powersupply and would like to throw a 480 or the like in there, given that the 480 exhausts quite a bit of heat into the case from the underside of the gpu it looks dangerously close to the powersupply for my liking.

coming from 1 itx case, a shuttle, and 3 m-atx cases, all with at least one graphics card in, thats plenty of cooling space already! but then again, my i7 is at about 92 degrees C, so maybe you might not want to listen to me

Thanks for that Grimgoth will leave it in it's present case and just replace psu and try to tidy up cables. That second case with the mobo anyones welcome to it.

Marine Iguana · 2 Jun 2010 at 22:02

Eh?

I'm no help

Tell me about it Toxic, but you have had a few of them lately, but at least Im getting somewhere now..
Its all for the good of the teams RAC

My rescheduler has C:\ProgramData\BOINC\ in the bottom field..

ToxicTBag · 2 Jun 2010 at 22:21

One machine done 1 more to go here still on target for midnight

Did you get it working after a lot of too and fro then, last but not least is it only force vhar to cpu that has to be ticked or both on settings screen?
Apart from that i'm allmost done ....hoooorahhhh!

ToxicTBag · 2 Jun 2010 at 23:36

You go for it lad

And it seems to be at my expense :rolleyes:

Well done mate, have been most impressed with your efforts in such a short period of time, long may it continue :cool:

very very impressive - well done sah

Saw this on the Fud this morning, Im going to spend the day on the bay waiting for Toxic to sell his new 470's and go for these monsters

Bring meat and forks for everyone
As you probably already know, Nvidia’s Fermi is one hot chip and this makes dual-GPU designs pretty difficult if not even impossible, especially if you intend to push these babies at full speed. Galaxy, however, seems to have felt adventurous enough and showed off a dual-GPU GTX 470 card at Computex.

We're not sure what to make of it. The card features two GF100 GPUs on a single PCB and it features two 8-pin PCIe power connectors and three dual-link DVI outs. It's clearly a prototype, but the company obviously wasn’t shy of showing it off.

Best case scenario - we’d say that the GPUs are modestly downclocked and/or crippled versions of the real deal. On the other hand, Galaxy has had enough time to practice their dual-GPU designs as of late, so we'll wait and see. Unfortunately, given the fact that Nvidia advises users to use Nvidia certified cases when using two Fermi based cards, it’s not hard to be skeptical.

Worst case scenario? Well, you could turn your rig into a makeshift, passive fireplace.

What what where? oh!
Have to admit that two of my rigs are still having trouble getting work- stuck downloading, no wu

But, top 15 now

Sorry edgedemon, you got between 5 or 9 days left, depending on which sites you believe; more than enough time to get a couple more cards

edit: I think you better watch your behind more too, loudbob's about a month behind me

mymorph · 3 Jun 2010 at 11:46

and ill be making the top 100 in about a month ! yeepee

im quite happy plugging along with my single gtx260 & quad athlon....

Well done on the top 15...
Ive noticed loudbob as well, but not a lot I can do about it...
You will need to increase your estimate by a few days as my first fermi card went on line today, should give me about 14000ppd if it crunches 24/7.
Its not much, but its the best I can do for now..

I'll be back
