TPU's F@H Team - Page 472

Josh154 · Dec 19, 2010, 04:21 PM

Dang, if i had hardware to fold on i could do it but all i have is gpu's sitting idle. I sold that DDR2 Ram now too! Wooot! Now find me a good deal on a cpu preferably 1366 and ill order the thing!

(FIH) The Don · Dec 19, 2010, 04:42 PM

if you live near MC then go there and get a i7 9xx, they are cheap

Josh154 · Dec 19, 2010, 04:48 PM

Im heading to texas after christmas and can pick up a 950 from there for like 220. Or i could find a used 920 or 930 much cheaper.

(FIH) The Don · Dec 19, 2010, 04:53 PM

you should be happy to have those hw prices, in denmark that 950 is 400$

Here is the link.

Hmmm...every 30k points gets you a entry into the raffle. I say if the entire TPU team folds for asus for the duration, the chances of someone from TPU winning something is very high. There are people here ho'd win about 10 entries every day.

PS - those not in the US can fold for someone in the US.

"To each to his own". Chances of anyone winning hardware is slim and said new hardware would not even come close to replacing the points lost for TPU. This is ASUS trying to capitalize on the success of the EVGA Folding Team. Everyone is free to choose what they want to do.

mstenholm · Dec 19, 2010, 06:23 PM

My 5 % stays here. There is a reason why it says 50711 in my settings. A hardware giant can't offer me nothing that can replace what I get from TPU. Just my 2 c.

Correct. They even want you to register on their forums and we all know that means web traffic for the forums. If they want to make a name among folders they should donate a piece of hardware to TPU for a Foldathon. Then I would scream their name up and down the mountainside. Manufacturers have no place in running a team IMO.

bogmali · Dec 19, 2010, 06:47 PM

This is the reason why TPU is what we call 100% "Unsponsored" unlike the other big name folding teams out there. Heck even HWC cannot say that they are not "100%" unsponsored because the prices for their folding contest comes from........you guessed it NCIX! The last time I checked we (the folding and crunching members) provide our own prices to the winners! Enough said on that

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): My points go to 50711..........Next question!

theonedub · Dec 19, 2010, 06:58 PM

Just out of curiosity, has any manufacturer or retailer ever offered hardware to TPU for Folding?

Not as of yet. I'm working on approaching select manufacturers for prize hardware in exchange for advertising/notoriety. The fact that we are Top 20 in PPD helps our position.

Interesting, definitely keep us updated please

Guys,

I'm trying to setup F@H on Ubuntu 10.10, got no clue what the heck I'm doing. Really couldn't find any guides that were clear neither. Any help would be appreciated

I believe you have to use Wine wrapper for GPU's. Check the link below.

Got it, but not really sure what I'm looking at in the link. I've never used Ubuntu at all before so got no clue where to go from here.

This is why I have not gone native Linux for -bigadv. I'm such a Linux noob. I even had issues downloading/burning the image.

(FIH) The Don · Dec 19, 2010, 07:31 PM

@David, try and get a hold of Ion, he is l33t on linux

Yeah but I have not HDD for this rig so I figured I'd give it a shot. Once I get one going the rest should be fairly easy in case I have to setup another rig from a flash drive.

Josh154 · Dec 19, 2010, 10:20 PM

Hey guys need a quick questio asap. Now i know the D0 steppings on the i7 920's are good but what about the stepping on 860's? Im going to bid on this 860 on ebay but it's a b1 stepping. Is this a good stepping that i can get to 4.0ghz easy?

Correct, pack date may be more important. The older the 860 the more sluggish they are, and have a tenancy to need more volts. It's a crap shoot either way really, but the pack date will also give you some idea of how long he has had opportunity to abuse said chip

Agreed. I have a 14 month old i7-860 that requires 1.44V to hit 4.0Ghz stable. I know it's not the mobo(EVGA P55 Sli FTW). My 2 i7-870's only require 1.28V to accomplish the same and run much cooler. For -bigadv, the 1366 CPU's produce slightly more PPD per cycle, but I can't justify the cost difference for so little PPD.

Something to consider: If your planning high clocks with an older chip(920,860), it may require water cooling to keep it stable/within thermal limits.

Josh154 · Dec 19, 2010, 11:21 PM

Hmm well i'd be using a h50 for the cooler. If i grab that 860 off ebay and the evga p55 for 90 bucks in our market place here that would be a pretty sick system i think. Plus ram for like 50 bucks. I could have everything with what i would have into a 1366 board and chip.

Should i go for that 860 on ebay or try finding a 870?

EDIT: I'm bidding on a i7 920 D0 that comes with a receipt so i have warranty with intel. Current bid is $170 i won't go over $200 for it.
