Don't feel bad about it- every result is important. The act to contribute to such a cause is a Win!

I have a 'broken' GTX280 here, it MIGHT boot in the server rig. it had a green light with 100% fan but NO DISPLAY before. I always suspected my VGA monitor but i will see how it goes in the server. I'll try it tomorrow! fingers crossed, i'll then have some serious PPD then even if it does only 2-3 WU it'll be great!

Sure hope so man. For now I need a wireless adapter though. Or try what you told me with an ethernet cable. Just from one PC to another right?

Yup. Then just go to Network Properties (the window where you see the individual adapters), select the two you want, right-click and hit Bridge Connections.

I actually have a WiFi adapter, but I'm saving it for when I head home again--having to bridge through the laptop is a lot of trouble.

LMK if you need an ethernet cable, however, I have plenty. I can also probably get a 4-8 port switch your way if it would help

Also, just hit 100 million WCG credits

Onward to 200m

If you get picture, make sure you run MemtestCL or the OCCT GPU test for a few hours to see if the card still computes reliably.

Ah, thank you!

I will do that I had forgotten about that tool!
I used to use it religiously now this GTX570 throttles so there isn't a point

Is this ram any good for a socket 1366 X58 setup?

Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 6GB (3 x 2GB) 24...

If not, what type of ram works well with an X58?

Seems fine, if a bit expensive. I personally run my X58 setup off of a single 2GB stick--although I have 5 1GB sticks to add whenever I have the opportunity.

I'm sure any cheap G.Skill 3x2 kit would work fine. That's the only brand of RAM I usually buy new.

My choice would be G.SKILL F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ.

That would work great Norton. Damn good price as well.

Also was going to tell ya too Norton, I am sending you a PM regarding a X58 motherboard.

 

[Peter1986C]

This reminds me of the fact that with Ballistix modules, some motherboards have difficulties reading the SPD info (if any of that is available). So best make sure you set the frequency, clock and latencty settings manually in order to guarantee stability.

Excellent point Chev!!!

I can see from the first Free-DC update that I'm not the only one that ran dry yesterday. For me it seems like people with multiple 7970 all have a to small buffer when they make "maintenance". I went empty and stayed like that for 3 hours and 20 minutes. My question to HammerON, t_ski and manofthem is - how big is your buffer (setting and real run time) and did you run dry. If anybody else with multiple GPUs ran dry yesterday I like to know.

It seems like at least Sekebob thinks that the buffer will go up to 3000 WU but in two of my three rigs I can't get more then 600 and with 150 WUs completed each hour I ran dry three times the past 10 days.

My buffer is currently set to default:

I haven't run out as far as I know. I backed the rig down to 8 WU's per GPU as I was getting some random WU error's.
Might pump it up again as I re-installed 12.10 a little bit after adding the third 7970. I will move my buffer up a bit too

Ok new build being setup as we speak!

Specs:

MSI 785GTM-E45 Motherboard
AMD Phenom II 720 x3 (Unlocked to quad)
2x2GB Gskill DDR2-800
Asetek Liquid Cooled (Xiggy push/pull)
2x Maxtor 80GB SATA drives in raid 0
XFX 5770 OCed
Enermax 500W PSU
NZXT Vulcan Case

Installing Windows 7 X64 now and will get it up on WCG soon

 

[Peter1986C]

In Asgard-AMD (see specs) I have the same motherboard! CPU VRMs can be hot though because they are not cooled, that might be a thing to watch out for.

Nice setup!

I have the original box for that 720 here somewhere if you ever want it

Well that build was short lived

Installed windows and started setting up windows with drivers when the machine just shut off! so I started it back and it got to the windows start screen and shut off again! Well two more times I finally got in the bios and the CPU was 105deg cel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Asetek pump died... FML

Little bit warm

I may have a stock cooler (non-heatpipe) around if you need it.....

I got another water unit but its not as good. I will try to find the back plate for it. Kinda sux cause the temps were like in the high 20's at first when it booted into windows but pump just stopped.

 

[stinger608]

Damn Brandon, that sucks bro!!! :-(

Yea hopefully I didn't damage the chip any. I will install the other cooler and test. Hope it works ok.
