I'm at 97% on a 2684. I don't like them. Getting 25k with my 2600k @ 4.4, 1.267 vcore. I'm running it as my daily rig, while I test it with F@H.

I have one that I would be happy to give you, but the shipping would cost an arm a leg and half a kidney.

All the same maybe we can work something out shoot me a PM.

Also I have fixed my 460's and 430, so they are now back online and folding, at about 27-33k PPD.

PSU died, so I had to drive my Pneumonia stricken @$$ to Fry's and buy a replacement while waiting on Antec for an RMA number. I ended up buying a Silverstone ST1500, which will be going into another up and coming build (sorry for no pics but I am posting this from my HTPC as I can't even barely get off the couch.

All the same YAY MORE PPD!

Sorry for double post

EDIT: Finally back to 60 k PPD. No fun looking at a 6702 yielding 24 k PPD.
EIDT2: Second rig had the same transformation from sub crazy folder to 60 k PPD just now.
EDIT3: Same WU -6900 (13, 10 , 34) One is doing 21:00, the other close to 22:00. Difference is 0.05 GHz, slow RAM speed and SSD / HD.
The bad one shifted the get bonus-don't get bonus balance. I just got 8955 point where I should have had 93.500 (TPF 20:53). Let's see if the next due in two hours will fail to get bonus too. Back to SMP, again.

I finally got my i7 2600K folding, It's OC to 4.6GHZ @1.3 volts and seems to be holding steady. Some reason it only wants to fold SMP, new build new drive and new reformat.

The few times I changed Machine ID in the past I didn't encounter that problem but not getting a -bigadv these days is not unusual. 4.6 GHz is something like 45-50 k PPD without GPUs ?

Edit: around 45 k PPD I see from these sources - http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.ph...4757&start=135

Yep going to try a few things and see if I can make it grab a -bigadv WU. So far I have a 480 & 450 with it folding. That will change next week, I have another 480 waterblock on it's way to make it an all watercooled SB folding rig.

Does that mean you will have two 480's runing next to -bigadv folding? You will for sure have a higher output from that rig then my turbo-rig (62 k PPD, when it get bonus) but I use 272 W

Yes that will be the config for the SB build. I still need to get my other i7 build folding again. I'm waiting on a heatsink & fan for a 1366 motherboard then I will have it folding.

As it happens that’s is more or less what I have for my next build (got a CPU and a spare PSU too btw). Easy, easy MStenholm, wait to after next job. Small internal discussion, none of you business

Having 2 x 60 K PPD rigs is nothing worth when they crash left and right. Rig one is now running ordinary SMP after a BSOD yesterday. It ran 20 hours WGC and GPU folding afterwards so now I try the easy stuff. Rig two had a client-core communication error 74 % in a 6900. Ran Memtest and found nothing. Now running WGC for the night. Have ordered new RAM to be on the safe side. Temperature is no issue since all readings are below 45 C. What more can they possible want?

Just wondering if ECC RAM would solve some of the bigadv failures??? Maybe what they want/expect is server level hardware with built in error correction.

Ok, someone buy FITS's stuff. He did upwards of 160,000PPD with that rig with 4 GTX480's. Those X5687's are half new price! 32nm Quad core @ 3.6MHz stock! [FS/FT] FITs: Final selloff

Sure error correction would be a help but then I (most of us) would have to change platform. Fits stuff is tempting....

Wow, $1700 in cpus. Homer droooooll.... I'm still figuring out a way to get a psu, and now, apparently, a router. Arrrg. It never ends! At least my old q9450 is kicking butt and taking names. I may get brave enough to try the smp client on it at some time. What ppd can a quad get at 3.7ghz?

My main rig has randomly started BSOD'ing when left to fold for extended durations. Seems like its time for some diagnostics. There's no OC on the processor and the RAM is running underclocked.

Maybe there's more wrong with those SB's than we've been told. Niko084's just died.

Nah, the problem is in my main rig, not my folding rig.

Excellent update for MStenholm. Maybe Stanford is using super-saver shipping for some of his wu's.

^ Yes both rigs gave birth to a -bigadv (92 and 89 k or there about). New (faster) RAM will be installed in slower rig tomorrow. Should give extra 3-4 k PPD and an easy to remember cycle - 1½ day including super-saver shipping

Found this interesting, especially for those of you running bigadv:
Quote:
Version 6.34 of the SMP client is now available for download on FAH's high-performance clients page, for both Windows and Linux.

It is provided as an executable file, which should be placed in the main directory of an already installed client. For safety and data stability reasons, it is recommended that this update be applied when no partially-completed units are present.

The main new feature in this version is support for the new A5 core, which should be making its public appearance in the near future.

This new core will be used exclusively by BigAdv projects. It's identical to A3 core, but it is built from a different code branch which is specific to BigAdv projects to improve compatibility and stability.
