Well my computer is finally cooperating, cept it only has 1gb of RAM but is there any way to get more than 2 projects to run at once? My P4 has 2, laptop has 2, E8400 has 2... shouldn't i be able to stress it a little more?

 

[Mindweaver]

the pc as of now kept restarting and restarting. I turned it off Cleared CMOS and now manually entered my settings back. Seems fine now as it is crunching away. Dont think it was instability. Think it just freaked out from the power going out. Hopefully everything is ok.

I will look at the weather forecast for tomorrow, if it looks as bad as today, I will be forced to leave the rig off

NOOooo..... Every time someone turns off an i7 a puppy dies...

Welcome aboard, I haven't been returning too many results due to the fact that I've had some stability issues with my phenom II, they seem to be fixed now. BTW sweet system you have there, chickenpatty and i will be working on that 12 core soon

Thanks Amdguy

When the new system is up and running don't forget to post some pics

Thanks Marcos! LOL, I posted some pics here http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=1390644&postcount=2254

I'll be installing two SATA dvd burner's to replace my current IDE burner's tomorrow (chicken patty was teasing me about my IDE burner's) , i might just take some pics then, but nothing much has changed in the system.

Last summer I was watching a thunderstorm roll in (as I always do hence my username) and even before the rain hit a bolt of lightning hit a utility pole about 100 yards from me...WOW what a bang that was...especially the crackling sound just before the boom!!!! Man was that fantastic!!! Wooohooo...oh yeah, my point. Well my Athlon rig, the only one that I had at the time, and the one I used to track the NOAA radar for storms moving up through Detroit-Windsor towards me, shut down when I landed on my back in the living room from my balcony...and it wouldn't start for 5 minutes....I freaked!!

But today, she's crunching away alongside ULTIMATEVORTEX HERE!!

a puppy, really? I love puppies I'll never turn it off again.

you are the true definition of "insanity"...


... no wait, thats Damulta. Nevermind I take that back

here is a shot of my new daily clock. lowered it a bit so that way I use less voltage. Keeps my elec. bill a bit lower, and room stays a lot cooler. Temp drop was about 14ºc across from my old settings of 4ghz

Amdguy very nice! The only thing I would suggest would be to rotate the CPU heatsink 270 Degrees (This way your pulling across your RAM, and blowing it out the back of the case cooling your power management where the 120 exhaust fan finishes sent it out of the case.). I can't really tell from the pics, but do you have a top mounted exhaust fan? To pull the air sent to the top of your case from the CPU fan?

It looks like your trying to pull heat from the graphics card, but its not being sent out of the case generating a lot of heat on your CPU, and Power management. That route would be better taken if you had a PSU with a bottom mounted 120mm intake fan at the top of the case.

Remember, I'm simply giving advice from the pic. I'm a big AMD fan as well!

I modded your original picture to show what i mean. See Below

Who is TJ Max?

 

[CyberDruid]

It's a women's clothing store of course.

JK

T-Junction Max is how the algorithm calculates your supposed CPU temp. It's a little involved but it's the basis of how different applications determine CPU temp.

Definitely a value that I'm not involved in......nevermind the distance to it!! I got some more reading to do now. Thanks.

Actually Three words from me.....WTF

That is a lot of CPU history.....386 and 486DX.....oh the memories

 

[MRCL]

Hm, interesting. My Grid states I have done two device installations... so it doesn't show the second rig I have setup for crunching, and it is crunching since yesterday. It states it has updatet statistics five hours ago. Strange...

 

[Baleful]

Wow Mindweaver, that's quite a collection you have there. I have a few of those chips sitting around here somewhere.

 

[h3llb3nd4]

I had some.... in a box in the attic
not as much as you tho MW!

 

[Mindweaver]

Yea that's some of my empire.. I've got a few 286's laying around too... lol and a stack of socket A's.. :d I'll work on another pic of some heat sinks and stuff.

Wow I don't even recognize those... way before my time. I love them though

A stroll down memory lane...

I still have a Coppermine sitting up on the shelf...first chip I OCed

 

[stanhemi]

Hi guys i'm already folding for tpu since november 2008 and next week i want to add my cpu to tpu wcg team.my question is : how many point my cpu can crush every day ??

Q9550 @ 3800mhz
E7200 @ 4000mhz
E5200 @ 3600mhz

I almost fell off my chair reading this womens clothing store. How would you know CD, been there?

 

[BUCK NASTY]

eff me, I got home and my rig was off, thunderstorms here today. We all know what happened there.

Miami, heh? Where exactly? I'm in Port St Lucie. We should get together for some Lan Crunching/Folding.

YESSIR MIAMI. There is a couple of people here in the area, would be nice to get together one weekend or something.
