Hey guys I see everyone talking about there work buffer.. I set mine to 2 days. If you don't plain on crunching 24/7 or a some what fast rig.. then I wouldn't set past 2 days. You need to be able to finish the extra work.

I'm sure our older members know what there rigs can and can't do (CP, ION, etc. hehehe) I'm just posting that information for our new members.

Info is always welcomed bro

Awesome, I'll have some down time later this week, actually early next week. Check out my system specs

Upgrade?..lol 5770! Maybe crossfire later on? hehehe and new SSD nice! That 1000 watt looks new right? did you have a tx750 before?

This is my daily rig, no need to hire some big guns you now, the 5770 is more than enough, it outperforms both of my 4850's in c/f by about 5-7 FPS in Crysis. runs lot cooler, more power efficient. Can't go wrong. Yeah, the SSD and the PSU are new. I had a PCP&C 860 Turbo Watt before.

Nice the 5770's that good. I've been debating on a 5850 or 5870.. hehehe I have my GTX285
core: 712, Shader: 1621, Memory: 1366. I really like that card, but i need to replace my 9600 gt in my other rig.. It kicked the bucket last week.. Luckly I have an 8800 gt till i get something new. I would much rather get a new card for myself than to get something for my Domain controller. You know?

Yeah I get you. The 5850 rocks bro, anything higher is just overkill, however a 5870 is an awesome card. Just don't need to spend the extra bucks unless you just want to rape benchmarks, you know?

Yea I know what you mean bro.. I'm leaning torward the 5850, and maybe crossfire l8ter down the road.

I hardly think I fit into the category of older members, I only started crunching in July and joined here in September...maybe experienced is a better term?

Awesome!
BTW, I may be sending you some PMs in regard to settings for OCing Q6600s, I'm going to try and convince my friend to OC his to 3.2ghz or so...it's a 1.12v stock one so I think it has potential

that would be killer

I meant older as in older then our newer members.. but I'll add experienced too..

Which Q6600 do you have G0? If so they seem to clock better than the C0's and so on. but yea what ever you need I'll help bro! I have mine OC @ 3Ghz and the temps are around 47c with a AC 7 pro cooler. oh and it's a G0.

that would be killer

I hope so.. I was told that 1 5850 should out perform my GTX285.

havent' looked at a comparison, but maybe true.

 

[Mindweaver]

Yea I don't think by much, but it will be DX11. Plus, when they drop to around $200 and CF will be great.

It's my friend's Q6600, it's a G0 cooled by a Xiggy HDT-S1283, keeps temps @ 35-40c full load stock speeds, so it definitely has potential

yeah I agree, they are also very future proof too!

I use a SDD and just today I had a blue screen. After the forced boot down and restart my OS (XP) performed CHKDSK. Related or not? 90 days of folding and 20 days of chruncing is a lot of rewriting.
