Well I've finally made it, just cracked the Top 100 and I'm currently ranked 98th!

Uphill struggle from here me thinks! :D :o

adamsalem2k, you are next!
 
Indeed, no doubt he will stomp me back if he has a bigadv on the go.

Unfortunately my main folding PC is having some issues, might be bigadv related I'm not sure.
 
Yeah join the club. I switched to bigadv and had the system lock up twice, no BSOD that I could see. Luckly I didn't lose the progress.

However I switched back to standard big last night at 04:00, went to bed and then woke up this morning to find it had BSOD in the night. IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE what ever that means.

So maybe the overclock isn't stable or the PSU is on the way out or something. I'm back to stock for the timing being, so far so good. Not quite sure what the issue is, was running nearly 2 weeks without a problem previously.
 
Very nice Rich! Also means I have zero chance of catching you! lol

It also appears for some strange reason the overclock in my main folding system is unstable, even using the old settings. No idea why, maybe the PSU is faulty or something. Going to swap a few systems around today, that way at least the unstable one is easier to toy with.

In better news:

Yeah, I think you are right there.

Just did a internals swap between my main and foldingPC, should hopefully solve the unstable overclock problem or at least make it easier to tweak.

I swapped the main internals, so the motherboard, CPU, memory and HSF. Direct swap with all the parts still attached, as bar the HSF and the memory the systems are the same.

Strange thing is, they both now appear stable, both have passed OCCT auto 1 hour test twice where as the foldingPC internals which are now in my room would fail. Very strange turn of events really, going to try Linx x20 and then some folding. Could be PSU related I guess, but then I would have thought that the stable system would have failed if that was the case.
 
Well looks like they are both unstable, one failed Linx quickly, the other on the 19th run of 20. Added some more voltage and they seem stable!
 
Memory or everything?

My three machines are completely different on how they can fold.

My i7 P6T server can do -smp 8 -bigadv all day on Windows 2008 @ 4.0Ghz :cool:
My i7 DFi LP DK x58 main rig can do bigadv no prob but only at BCLK 185 or lower and only with -smp 7 :confused:
Weebeastie with the i7 P6T7WS @3.9Ghz can't do bigadv at all but gets 17K on -advmethods
None of them like running SMP/bigadv with a GPU at the same time. :(

Biffa, what flags are you using on Weebeastie to get it to 17k? Just -advmethods? Anything else like -forceasm to make it more stable?
