Surely this is sufficient motivation for you to ramp up, no?

What is the weather in Denmark typically like
?
You should know . Summers are typical between 20 and 25 C, winters is around +2 to -2 C but we had -23 C last year as a minimum.

Why should I know?

That sounds very pleasant compared to what we have here in NC...in the summer it will frequently hit 35-38C, sometimes even 42C. In the winter it's typically 0 to -5C. Rarely much colder than this, however

Denmark/Sweden (your stated country of living) is just 2 mills apart. I know that you are US based but you got to get your background story straight if you want to pass as a Swede.

If we (Denmark) had to use our AC during summer (not often we have to) most people would stop running their PCs. 1 kWh is $ 0.36.

Oh yes, of course, how could I have forgotten

Wow, that's 4x what we pay here

Passed a million points today


EDIT: Just purchased a GTX470 from newtekie1, any idea what sort of PPD it should do?

EDIT2: These 5187pt WUs are unpleasant. They make my cards run 5c hotter, and drop my PPD by 5k/GPU

Shutting down my GPU's and SMP rigs, as it make no sense to waste the electricity with the 4P rig running. I'll get some wattage measurements this weekend to share with you guy's.

Hope you can get your GTX 260 fixed, as 100c sounds pretty bad.

Buck, you've got me dreaming of building a 2P Interlagos rig. Too bad server parts are so freakin expensive and pretty much non-overclockable, but the output is definitely amazing if you can put up the initial money to get the stuff.

5 hrs til next dump(6PM EST) of 333K points. After this WU I am flashing the bios to the OCNG bios. Should be able to net an additional 60-70K PPD, but we will see! I may not start another WU until late tonight due to testing the O/C.

Wow, 60-70k PPD extra due to an OC....any idea how much it should increase the power draw?
Do you know that the CPUs will be stable @ 2.8GHz?

Once you that thing stable, we should climb back up the ladder on stats. I will be switching my 2 X5570 from WCG to F@H while my i7-980 replaces it crunching.

It should be stable, as long as CPU and VRM temps are in line.

That would be pretty cool, I could see PNY perhaps giving you a GTX650 as a warranty replacement. Hopefully you'll get it solved

My PNY 460s run warm (75c-80c), but certainly not nearly that hot

I used to have a 460 i run a 260 now my 460 never ran that hot either. luck might be on my side if i can get a response. i have the xlr8 216 so maybe its just new enough to be replaced.

Please keep me in mind guys. I'm still looking for 2 570s or better to replace my 2 285s. If I get them, I'll put my 285s out to pasture to fold 24/7. I have to slowly rebuild my folding farm. I guess I could consider 2 470s or 480s but that would probably be a bit much for my psu..... and probably not worth the minimal performance gains. I suppose I could pick up a 4 series just to fold it, they still kick a 285s butt in that area. But I really want to upgrade my main computer, and just can't afford new cards. I really wouldn't mind folding again, I feel guilty!

Why can't you fold on the GTX285s and the i7? Those would do very nicely, even if not as well as GTX4/5 cards

Because it's my main computer, I am constantly using it. That's why I built a seperate server/folding box. It only has a single 260 in it right now, and I can't afford to burn out another card until I get more. I've gone through multiple cards now, and on a fixed income, I have trouble affording that! And I really want a bit more muscle than 2 285s for my games at 1920x1200 res. If I can get better cards, like I said, I'll throw my 2 285s at folding full time.....
Edit: Don't forget, I'm CamelJock, I folded for years here already, so you know I'll do it again!
Edit2: and yes, I'll fold the xeon too....
