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 :shadedshu

 

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

 

If they ever need a home.....anyway my first WUs have been submitted for WCG yesterday night I was hoping to get my folding badge back but I forgot my ps3s auto shut down is set I have since corrected this problem and I'm currently 55% through my first WU with any luck by tonight I'll have it back

 

got my F@H badge! cant wait to see what my points stabalize at after a full 24 hours. Iv tried getting this 260 going but its over heats pretty bad it is the most powerful card iv got maybe tommarrow ill try a thermal paste swap something isnt right at 100+C

 

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.

 

Buck's daily points chart on Free-DC:

 

lol wut

 

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?

 

well i re TIMd and i cant get it under. she peaked at 101C she ramps slower but the fan cant stop the heat. IDK what to do im racking down the people i bought it from and iv contacted the riginal owner (person they got it from) to see if anyone has a recipt. its a PNY with a limited lifetime warrentee and its considered legacy. idk if ill run into much luck but if i do maybe they will bump me up.

 

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.

 

Is anyone else experiencing problems? F@H went down for me last night no stat updates or WUs my play station has failed getting a WU for god knows how long at or a little before midnight lastnight.


EDIT:: nvm i went to their server page apparently alot of their systems are down or not accepting WUs and out of the 4 ps3 servers 1 is down and the other i havent been able to connect to.

When my cards last needed WUs 5 hours ago it went fine

 

ya apparently its a PS3 problem I looked at the chart and the 3 that are down the WUs to go and WUs available are the same. maybe the projects have been completed? Either way god knows how long i need to wait for a WU

 

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....
