are you going to be getting the Atom that i linked you to in the PM(the Atom+PCI-E X16 slot)

Maybe, I want to re-use the Silverstone ITX case I already have (otherwise, I would have to go caseless, which doesn't bother me, but my mom would gripe until I purchased a case for it, which I don't want to do). If I get an Atom, I think I'll probably go for the D945GCLF2D (cheaper of the two Atom 330 boards Intel sells)

[p_o_s_pc]

I would go with the ECS that i linked because it has a PCI-E X16 slot. You could use that for a folding card

Maybe a little touch up, but if it's already down to the copper... I don't think i would touch it with those temps. A cruncher at stock is a lot better than no cruncher at all.. lol

Just not worth it really. It's a cruncher.

Yea that's what i was think'n. Plus, the mega is moving over to the 965 and you plan to OC it right?

yeah. I'm going to place the order for the AM3 mounting hardware now.

[Chicken Patty]

By the way guys, since 3am last night it's been crunching away

I want the ECS for that reason but then I would have to buy a case, which I don't have any money for. I'll re-evaluate my finances, and see if I can get a spare case, because I would prefer the ECS board so I could upgrade my folding potential.

[Arrakis+9]

im in the top 100 for our team now
crunching 24/7 on my i5 my tech boxes and soon to be added new tech box

[mstenholm]

You can start the production of my crunching badge - I made a fresh install on an old Dell work lap top (forgot the password). Now it is heating up a room with all its might (P4, 2 MHz, 83 C CPU). First job 8 % done, so only 1½ year before the badge

[Flak]

Well at least I got over 250k before having to massively lower my output.

What's happening?

BTW, it looks as if Chomes is back crunching again at his former rate, he turned over 10k points yesterday

[Flak]

Not sure what happened, some sort of cascade power failure or something. Hit every desktop pc except my server (which is on a UPS) but totally obliterated the battery in the UPS. It's a mystery really. I have a whole house surge unit and then all the pcs attach to seperate tripplite iso bars, the server + network equipment are on seperate APC UPS. No laptops were affected so they are putting out their usual WU's.

Have an electrician coming out to try to find out what exactly happened. I have only one spare psu but haven't begun testing to see what exactly is bad in all the pcs now.

[p_o_s_pc]

good news. In about 10days i will have another X2 240 (taking the X2 4200 place) and i picked the rig up today.It will be crunching away shortly...also OT but i got my cast off

[[Ion]]

Awesome, so do you also have the GTX260 up and crunching?

[Chicken Patty]

That's great news Tim . Glad your cast is off man. The addition of the new rig is also appreciated

The GTX260 is folding away. I didn't mess around with overclocking it much (yet)

[hat]

Well, I looked up my processor to see what kind of overclocks people were getting with it, and I saw that legitreviews got thiers to 3.2GHz on stock voltage. I've been sitting at 240x12.5 (3GHz) for a while now, but I bumped the multi up to 13 to give me 3120MHz... hopefully it's stable.

thats not a bad clock. My CPU is running 3.6ghz on less then stock volts.I wish AMD mad a Black edition AII X2 240 or something (i know they have the 550be)

btw numbers should be going up for me. I just got my X2 4200+@3.1ghz crunching 24/7

[hat]

Yeah. The thought of getting a 240 crossed my mind as well, but I don't really need it for anything else other than to increace my crunching power, but the fact that it would be running faster while using less power is drawing me to it... sort of like Boromir was drawn to The Ring

i say go for it. great little CPU for cheap and runs really cool.I'm picking up a 2nd one to replace the X2 4200

Anyone else notice their status being real consistent lately? Usually my daily production ranges from low 3k to 5k and occasionally up to 6-7k. For the last few days it has been consistently around 5k which is what I like (like my Folding output). Just wondering if its just me or if they changed maybe the way they validate WUs.

I know they do have trusted rigs if you have used them for an extended period, but I imagine my rigs were at that point after the first year of run time or so?

Here is my chart:



Both comps run 24/7

[p_o_s_pc]

my stats have been all over the place. I know i have atleast 1 trusted rig (the 5kBE) But i have been playing some games and adding stuff so that could be why mine is all over

I wish I can give you some input, my crunchers have been on and off lately.

Since about the 20th of December, my stats have been almost flat:


BTW, Velvet, I passed you again, hopefully I'll stay ahead longer this time
