My 8800 Ultra & 9600GT both has quit folding or at least not putting out what they used to, both go to 38% them back to 0% just back and forth all the time... So it has cut my folding on those card's to almost nothing.. Did new drivers, different folding@home files and nothing changes the output of them.. Time for some GTS450's or GTX460's and retire the old cards....to the trash pile...

Seems like I'm always having problems out on the farm
It's time to go with new stuff and quit trying to baby the old stuff along..

My folding will be down for a bit, just pulled my ati tuner pce-e card, and now my old gtx280 is running again. Did it because my 260s were failing in games. I may have found a problem, and it will take time to diagnose. I'm also still looking for a sli capable psu so I can fire up my 2nd rig. Offers...? I have time, need to replace my dying mouse first.... My kingdom for a new i7 system.....

This afternoon I noticed El Fiendo wasn't the 'tail end charlie' so I scrolled down wondering what had happened. When I finally scrolled back up I had an OMG moment. So now I have to say +1 to Bucks post, 'dammit!'.

Guys, just got home since 8am when I left for work. Somehow my main rig was off which involved my six core cruncher and my gtx 295 folder. Cause? Maybe power outtage? I can't get this rig to start back up when the power fails so that explains why it was off I guess. Just a heads up.

It turns out my pci-e tuner card may be faulty. I have my 280 back up and running. So I really need a psu to run my 2nd rig now. Bad. Need a psu with at least 2x pcie connectors. I just bought a bunch of stuff for my bday, so 1 month before I can afford it. I'll try to fold my 280, but I'd rather use my 260s.....any bday offers for the old man?
I can only fold 8hrs a day from now on, with my main rig, I really need the 2nd rig up. Any psus anyone can send?

I could play with upto $200can, it would be for possibly the 2 260s, as my 280 is still rocking. Which reminds me, anyone got a used 280 for sale??? I do pay my bills.....
not iill next month tho, I bought bday presents.......
Okay, last count, I need to power 2x gtx260s, 1x gtx280 and 1x 9800gtx. I only have one working psu. Can make offers on a used one.
Edit:replace that corsair with a silverstone and we're talking.

Really hoping I don't jinx myself, but my 280 folded overnight with no probs. I've now added a 260 for dedicated physx( metro and mafiaii need it..) and will try for an overnight run with these 2 cards. My 280 is a monster, at full clock(702/1512/1250) produces about 3/4s what my 2 260s can. If I get my 2nd rig up, I could pull stupid numbers!!

i agree.
I ran a GTX 260 216 and a 8800GT both overclocked (don't remember the CPU but i think it was a AII but it was OCed too) had them running on a 650w Silverstone without a problem. I'm sure the cards he is using is taking more power but he also has 200w more.

as a note i folded on both GPU's and crunched on CPU everything 100%
