Guys I need your opinions.

In the near future, maybe next month or two I want to buy a few cards to fold with. I don't want to break my wallet, but I wouldn't mind spending a few bucks neither. I'm looking for two cards, maybe three. What are your suggestions?

I want more GTX 470 cards but I can't afford them. So maybe a few GTX 465 cards OC'd to 470 specs would come down to where I could afford them. Then this...

Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 Specs and Launch Date Leaked

As far as power supplies go, my comfort level is around a 750 watts.

sneekypeet · Jun 3, 2010

The reason I said 470 CP was this. My card at a used price of $275 does just about 12K ppd with a little OC and little effort. I fold one card and it never goes over 72*. Now you can buy two or three of those, and just outpace it with two, and have more heat, or just have one killer PPD maker, and simplify life

Just my 2 pennies.

running over my HD5770, had to take the side off my case and up the fan speed to 100% to keep it under 60.

That's weird (your temps).

Here is mine at 70%, closed case. And the CPU is at 100% in WCG so there's plenty of heat around. Not to mention I have an i7 crunching at 100% right next to it.

That sounds like a very good strategy. I'll def. keep you guys posted as to when I'm ready to buy. For now the opinions is what I'm looking for. Keep'em coming

hmm weird that your temps were that high.

well it never went past 63.
i just dont like my gpu running over or around 60 ever.

on the other hand, im using the stock cooler (HIS)

will replace with aftermarket later. when i can spare the coin.

edit: i think i prefer the console version and it using less, it lets my have full HD playback accelerated without any jittering like i did when i had the gpu client on full blast before(sys tray one)

Did you guys notice that mmaakk posted a 610 pt wu on the 3 am update?

kaneda · Jun 3, 2010

Blasting the fan on 100% for a while seems to have cleared it a bit, back at 55% fan speed and its 46C

Must have been dusty

running the dnet@home GPU client through boinc. its taking about 85-97% , fan has to be at 100% and the overdrive OC disabled. ot it goes into the 70's.

This is still not stopping me from having 12 threads at 100% all day for WCG and a 5770 at 100% for F@H mostly all day, just turned off for sleeping. Trust me, it's not pleasant though.

Congrats on your excellent weather. :rolleyes:

My 'Feels Like' is only 99ºF. I've shut down two i7 rigs until the sun goes down but I still have 7 clients running FAH that includes one i7 running SMP2 A3. I've also got 24 cores running WCG. When I get my electric bill for this month I might have to declare bankruptcy.

I have to hand to to all you folks that live east of the dry-line. Keeping those rigs crunching and folding in that humid heat is a severe strain. We've had that rarest of rare events here in the SF Bay Area -- humid weather. On Friday when I went to work I found myself sitting on the train sweating. I go to work really early and I usually have to wear a light jacket even in the summer. I thought I was getting sick! I had down-clock my i7 rig when I got home. Core temps were through the roof.

Again, mucho respect from me to all of you in those hot and humid places. :respect:

Thanks bro, you have no idea what I go through man. It gets so hot during the day in here that when i get home my room is burning. During the weekends I mostly stay home in the day (hence why :laugh:

) so I keep the a/c kicking so the room stays cool. However while I'm gone, my mother doesn't do the same
