Current Status of F@H Teammates

can i add a 9600gso/gt to my rig safely with that PSU?? i'm looking for an NV gpu for folding/physx.
is 500w pushing it??
5850 consume as much as a 4850 afaik.
 
Got moved into the new place. Comcast won't be out until Wednesday to get me set back up with cable/internet. Hopefully I'll at least have the HTPC ready to receive WUs by then, but it might not be until this weekend.

The 9600GSO will consume 70 watts max in F@H. Topower PSU's have solid 12v rails, just make sure the load is spread across them. It should not be a problem with the 5850 only using 320 of it's 1440 stream proc units.

Well I keep getting a Just-In-Time error with the F@H client I've been using with my cpu, so until I get it
resolved, I'll just be using my 8800gts.
I'm about to get passed by many people lol
 
Been away for a week recovering from back surgery. I've lost my badge, but I'm folding again 24/7.

BTW: Back surgery was a success. I can walk pain free again. :)

Congrat's, glad to hear everything is ok. Welcome back man!!!
 
back to folding again,after getting a fresh board from evga im running dual gtx 275's:toast:
 
Damn, I'm gone for a few weeks due to moving then all of a sudden 20K PPD doesn't get you into the top 10 anymore!!! Now I need another folder.... way to go (in the most pissy tone I can manage!)
 
Gonna be throwing a GTX 295 into the mix once I get it up and running!
 
eta 2 days till i can fold again

both 5850s are due thursday
new gigabyte 790gz ud4h due tomorrow along with my new spinpoint f3 1 terabyte

once up and running ill need some help configuring 2 ati clients again
granted i now watt/ppd ati sucks but hey im a gamer first folder 2nd eitherway

ive no idea what my hardware will produce

but

expected

5850 x 2 heavily overclocked cores

Phenom II around 3.5-4ghz

ill be folding off and on so far im about 800points from hitting 30k i should hit 60k-80k by december im a plodder lol but consistent.

so i guess while i cant compare to bucknasty or el fiendo you can expect me to slowly crawl further up the list with due time as long as i dont suffer another catastrophic hardware failure.

Anyway gentlemen ETA 2 days i expect you to man up and fold till you cant fold no more and when you reach that point i expect you to fold some damn more. We here at TPU will not let these greenhorns show us up. So lets get to work gentlemen the fighting will be tough so i suggest u make sweet love to the girl you know and have a few :toast:. I guess all thats left to say is HWC better bend down stick there head between there legs and kiss there arse's goodbye. :D

sorry if im bouncing around i do think ive had a bit to much of the creature tonight :toast:
 
El Fiendo, if you could put me in your list as "Active" that would be great. I am active, despite my terrible PPD.
 
lol at el fiendo saw he updated me on the list as someone who due to his name he wanted to watch or w/e lol funny story..

crazyeyes comes from my bf2 clan basicall this was what my eyes looked like

si55551198_96472_1.jpeg


granted had that fixed but still thats where the first part of my name comes from granted i can SWITCH eyes so i can change which one looked screwy very very handy when u see a nice woman walkin down the street and u dont want the significant other to slap you

the 2nd part is from the fact that even tho i looked like id been hit between the eyes with an ugly stick my ability to kill ppl in bf2 with the support kit as in sniping with an m249 saw or getting lucky hits with grenades taking out 6-8 ppl to a time i earned the title reaper.

and in most games since then the name has stuck along with other nicknames

anyway joking aside who wants to mess with a man who can snipe u with an M249saw with eyes like that :D

crazyeyes googly eyes the age old joke "are you looking at me or looking at him?" lol

so there ya go the story of how Crazyeyesreaper came to be

so many good times
 
Ok. Caught up I believe. I left out a couple of guys who were only going to be down for a couple of days as they should spring back up fairly quickly.

As for myself, it looks like I'm going to have to take my lumps and let Mike047, Mx500 and Msgclb suprass me in the standings. It also means I'll be leveled out at my current PPD. For reasons I still haven't quite grasped I'm coming into a time where I won't be able to spend alot on computers (or the utility bills that follow). I'll continue with what I got though. After I'm done figuring out a budget after home renos and a new car I'll start my upward climb with increased hardware.

Having said that, I just bought a 955BE and some DDR3 to go with my 790FX-GD70 that just arrived today. It will go the two 9600GSOs that have been waiting for it. On Friday I'll be grabbing 2 more 9600GSOs and when they arrive they'll go in too.

Oh, you thought I'd make this easy for you guys? In fact if I'm not mistaken that should give me almost enough to fend off all of you. Oh, and I picked up ~1100 PPD switching over my i7 to the new VMware client. We'll see where everything lies in 3 weeks, when Mike is forecast to overtake me.

Looks over shoulder and sees 3 9600 gso sitting on table and grins not to mention could put up with the lousy ppd of 2 4850 and 1 3870.:D
 
Four Mikes and a Fiend. I love watching the internal TPU folding battles. Keep up the good work guys.
 
LOL...

Well you can include me, also got the dummy vga adapter working so I'm folding both cards when I'm not gaming. :D
 
Crap! Freeking Comcast. My internet connection was flaky all day. Lots of

Attempt #8 to get work failed, and no other work to do.
Waiting before retry

Grrr!
 
HTPC is in a BSOD loop after trying to install Vista SP2. I think I narrowed it down to an issue with soundcard drivers, but I won't know until I can spend some time on it.

Gamer isn't fully set back up after the move.

So... basically I suck for now.

Should end up putting me at around 46k output for the next while. Until I find everything's ideal OC that is.
