You talking about the EVGA plates on the PCB?

I just left that on the 960, smack the G10 with H55 on. No problems and it stays nice and cool. Though, debating of building a back plate for the 960. Bit bored and want to take a dremel to something. Since I finish putting a lego set together and been playing minecraft. My building mood is demanding to be satisfied with doing something.

One of these days I will do it.

@DarthBaggins you know I own everthing.

O, the folder rig going to get prettified and water cooled to the max. Just got water blocks for the RIVBE in. Time to find me some rattle cans, I'm tired of black.

Hmmm, is there any uni blocks for the 960? May reuse the G10 on something else.

Just need a few rotaries, fans, and bits and ends left for the rebuild of the folder.

 

[DarthBaggins]

Only block I've found for the 960 is the alphcool block, which I still plan on ordering to test out on my MSI


Also just missed a 970 for $200 on evga b stock

 

[hertz9753]

Did you stare at it to long? I think you missed the 970 because you had to ask if you could buy it and she said no.

 

[DarthBaggins]

No I said no, must await to see what my employee discount is (supposedly a little bit over cost)

I used to give 10% over cost to employees on special orders if they wanted a case of something at the grocery store. I was an order clerk and a Person in Charge or PIC for short.

I have had an i5 3570k in a drawer for about a year so I decided to build a rig. The first MB didn't work and I settled on half of the purchase price from the ebay seller. I was getting a code 62 error and couldn't get into the bios. I found an ASUS P8Z77-V for $115 and it is doing Windows updates right now.

I doing a belly bump.

 

[hertz9753]

You guys should post and start folding. I am well known for triple and quad posts.

I had to download an update to get updates. I'm still on auto updates and this feels like a set up for Win 10 even though I have Win 7 Pro. I'm not getting any updates it's just scanning my system. Everything is new except the DVD, MB and CPU.

 

[Ithanul]

It is Windows, it takes forever unless you make a image that already has the updates applied.

Reason, I think with my next clean install on the main rig I plan to make a backup image with all its drivers and updates installed. Would cut out a bit of the setup time. But that maybe later since the three classes I'm taking this term require C++ compiler, visual basic, and windows access. Going to be nuts doing all three at same time on tight schedule since I need to get them done sooner than the other students. O well, at least visual basic and windows access doing databases will be a slight review. Though, last time I touched visual basic was back in High School on Windows 98 SE.

 

[hertz9753]

I know a guy that still has a copy of 98 second edition. He would go outside and mow the law or shovel snow while waiting for the downloads on dialup.

 

[mstenholm]

Just to avoid a potential double post from Hertz- I started to get SSD errors (reported by HWinfo) on one rig. I got a replacement but I think that now is the time to reduce my electricity costs so unless it gets cold again it will only do a 24 hour test run.

 

[hertz9753]

I don't double post...

 

[mstenholm]

I don't double post...

Not when we can stop you...
ACHI - Gigabyte X58 UD7 give you a tons of opportunities for different settings. I made a wrong one a year ago when I re-placed the HD with a SSD. I hooked it up to port 4 but only set port 1-2 to ACHI. I think that's what gave me some errors (and lower transfer speed). After cloning my old 500 GB 840 Evo to a 250 850 Evo I made the correct setting before firing up the new disk. Ups, errors gone. Well one good thing is that I have three X58 GB MBs so a ready SSD can come handy.

Anyways, got my hands on two XSeries 335 IBM servers. Just need to find me some RAM, hot swap enclosures, and SCSI HDD for it. Bit older, but the Xeons are suppose to be 2.8-3.0 GHz. Plus, both sockets have CPUs.

Plan to make one cruncher and the other going to be for messing around with and learning how to setup Window servers, Linux servers, etc.

Last night I finished up my last wu on the 7770...

Later today, I'm going to do a little switchero with hardware, and I'm looking forward to seeing a new gpu thrown in the mix. Hoping to see a nice jump in PPD

Green this time for more points?

All I can say is... Yes! I'm exited to dabble once again on the green side. Sadly I'm getting tied up but I'll be installing today.

I'll be posting once it's up and running, hopefully without issue.

So here we go...

This evening I swapped in a beautiful GTX 980 SC beast. Nice change from the 7770 that was in there, and if F@H Control is correct, a much bigger PPD jump than I was hoping for. But, we'll see how things settle once it's folding for some time.

Spoiler: sexy beast

Nice.
The 11406 is a good WU. I get 324k on my 1491 MHz 970 where 295k is the over average (ex upload time).

See, I've heard speak of different wu's but now I need to begin learning the difference and what's what. Thanks for your comment, somewhere for me to start learning.

I just checked my other running 970 and found it working on the worst of them all - a 9159 doing 234k so here is big span. 9151 and 9152 are really good with 355k.

The EVGA GTX 980 SC has unlocked voltage in the stock bios.

Final result including upload time was just shy of 450k PPD. Not bad.

Well that's to be expected an low/mid range 2012 GPU versus a top of the line nVidia 2016 GPU with a shitton more compute power it may as well be a 1/4mile race between a Ford Model A and a Farrari f12-berlinetta sure they'll both get there in the end but you know which will be first

....it may as well be a 1/4mile race between a Ford Model A and a Farrari f12-berlinetta sure they'll both get there in the end but you know which will be first

The Model A, because it won't spontaneously burst in to flames half way down the track.
