Looks good man! Im actually working on getting my rig setup right now too Ill post some pic's after i get everything set up.

Did you manage to find some bolts that worked since the push pins came out?

Yeah, I found some that were lying around. They were the tiniest bit too large, but I forced them through. I wasn't too worried as it as only the heatsink.

Update: Processor and HSF in.

Look good! Thats about right where i am! Now to to the vid cards

Congrats to bogmali, top 100!

 

[Josh154]

Woot! That's awesome bog! Keep it going

Making this post from my folding rig...woot!

gonna receive another 470 in a few days (TexBill shipped yesterday), and Bow's 8800.

Nice man! I see you revered the freezer pro. That's how i always ran it too. Also i see you took that extra muskin stick out. Dual channel work much better?

 

[xbonez]

Yeah, reversed it coz the other way around it was almost touching the Psu.

Removed the mushkin coz together with the patriots, it wouldn't boot. The patriots and the mushkin work alone though. Might be an incompatibility. Will try some more later, otherwise I'll just get rid of the mushkin.

Oh and just to let you know the patriot isn't in dual channel right now. DIMM's 1 and 3 are one channel and 2 and 4 are one channel. Try putting the patriot stuff in 1 and 3 and then the mushkin in DIMM 2. It's worded wrong on the actual board. Check out CPU-Z it's running in single channel right now

 

[xbonez]

Yeah, its running at singl channel. I'll try switching the channels.
Temps are idling at 40 degrees. I won't OC till I get my Eco Coolit.

Switch that patriot ram to the third slot put the mushkin in the second slot and let me know if that works

 

[xbonez]

Yeah, that worked. Running all 3Gb now.

If I'm using my GPU only for folding, does it make sense to underclock the memory? Will that allow me to push core clocks higher?

Told ya it would

Im not forsure on the GPU mem. I don't even touch it when i OC my cards i just OC shaders and core only because i game on them too.

This si so weird. The processor idles at about 45, but on Prime 95 stress test, does not go beyond 52. I've never seen such a tiny difference between idle and load temperatures. maybe its an Intel thing (?).

Anyways, it seems I have quite some headroom to OC. And even more once I get the Coolit.

The ac freezer 7 isn't that great of a cooler to begin with and you don't have any airflow on that rig

True. Also it seems Prime95 wasn't stressing it enough. Its now touching about 56, folding.

Folding has always been my stress test. I used to pass IBT at 20 runs but would fail clients due to unstable machine.

 

[xbonez]

So, I've been folding SMP on the Q6600 for 20min now, and its still at 0%. Is that normal?

And here's HFM screenie:

EDIT

Nevermind, it touched 1% finally.

Setup both clients to fold successfully. Q6600 getting about 2.3k. I'm anyways gonna set it up to crunch tomorrow. I'm off for the night.

Good price on a used EVGA GTX 260 (Core 216) - $105

i5 rig

Got the i5 655K rig running. I only put a gts450 in it for now and the chip is running @ stock speeds (3.2GHZ). I have 2 bad GTX460's both of them are Evga cards. The only card I had left was the GTS450. Got 2 480's on the way should be here next week plus a different board so I can overclock this chip and see what it will do. The chip is not running as good as it can be @ the moment. Once the better board gets here it will get stressed then. So far it's not putting out the points that I'm sure it can do. But it will be running a whole lot better once I get a better board and some better cards to put in it.
Here's another one for the TEAM.... Going to be getting the 875K running by the first of the week. I got a hold of Fits and will be picking up a Gigabyte board plus a Gigabyte GTX480 from him. Anybody need a 480 card get a hold of him, he needs to sell some more cards and other parts. Let's try and help him out.

 

[mstenholm]

You get +10 K on a 450 ? What am I doing wrong here other then the obvious (running 860 MHz and in the "second" slot)? Back to topic...it was about time that you added some new hardware for the team effort Happy New Year TeXBill and good luck with the i655k and the 875K.

 

[xbonez]

@TEX: Thats one hell of an OC on that 450! 950 / 2000!!

 

[Josh154]

Well guys, my ram should have been here today and i could have had the rig up and folding but UPS isn't delivery now today because of the damn weather. Too bad the weather couldn't have waited till tomorrow... I tried calling and picking up the package from sioux falls but they won't allow that for some B/S reason..

Hopefully it comes on monday

 

[TeXBill]

Stock it runs 930, so I didn't touch the volts and went up 20mhz, on the core clocks. I like the gigabyte cards. The gts450 here only cost me $105.99 with free shipping. I've had good luck with the gigabyte cards. Going to get a couple of more of these cards they have dual fans and are quiet even with them running 100% fan speed. I can most likely get 1000mhz with some more volts. Will see when I get my other board and try to get a good OC on the chip.

 

[xbonez]

Oh yeah, temps wise you have lots of headroom, so you should try overvolting.

Just purchased this water cooling kit for my main rig:
