Good thing my computers are under my window in which I have an A/C for the Summer time temps.:rockout: So no slowing down this Summer when my main folding rig is completed.

A whooping $25 a month to run the A/c during the hot days and open windows at night if its cool enough. Ohio dont get too incredibly hot.

sometimes it does but most of the time it isn't all that bad. Happy i don't have 5 (or was it 6) rigs still crunching/folding

I would have hated to see how hot it would have been with

all cards overclocked and running 24/7 2 of the GT's voltmodded and the GTX overvolted via software
4 8800GT's
1 GTX260
1 8800GTS

all CPUs overclocked also
X2 240@3.9ghz
X2 4200+@3.1ghz
X2 5000+ BE@3ghz
E7200@3.6ghz
Phenom X4 9500
E1500@3ghz


i think that was my farm

now i am down to
1 i7 920@3.85ghz
1 8800GT (for now)
1 x2 4200+@3.1ghz
Thinking about adding more but the summer heat would be WAY too much even with AC i was hot even in the winter time with windows open :eek:

on another note

SORRY GUYS THAT I BACKED DOWN I COULDN'T TAKE THE HEAT OR NOISE ANY LONGER :(
BUT MOST OF MY STUFF WENT TO PEOPLE THAT WOULD FOLD ON IT FOR THE TEAM :)

I wish I was so lucky with all the systems I have running AC is on nearly 24/7 running, leads to a power bill that runs around $300 a month higher. Turn it off for an hour if it's 70 outside and 70 inside and it will be 80 inside, few hours later pushing 85.

But I keep em goin.

Well I will have nowhere near that many as my job wouldnt be able to cope with high electric bills lol. Ill have 2 rigs folding this summer with my main rig folding whenever not in use.

I wish I was so lucky with all the systems I have running AC is on nearly 24/7 running, leads to a power bill that runs around $300 a month higher. Turn it off for an hour if it's 70 outside and 70 inside and it will be 80 inside, few hours later pushing 85.

I have a "chiller" system planned for my rigs that involves my A/C and some anti-condensation projects ;) Just need to get that money first!

Yeah no kidding.....:D

What up ST:D? Where have you been stranger?


Heya Bogmali,

Been busy, still wishing I had more coin for the gear you guys both had back in teh day lol.

Working on some interesting Projects for people who don't want to chew power to death and still fold. GT240's are were its at in this regard. Bout 50W a piece , minimal HW required. Roughly 160W for 8K ppd. All crammed in SFF cases. Waiting to get the GT's in to prove or disprove this.

Other than that, moving so I've had no production for over 2 weeks now.

I'll be back in, good to see your team is still strong.

ST
