so hopefully novatech will get me something out, i might go for a 260 GTX now, 2 bad experiences with ATi in 3 months!!

Don't feel bad....I OC'd my 4850 for folding and toasted it. I get artifacts in 2D mode with it now. Seems to do fine in 3D mode though.....lol, makes no sense. I need a PSU and harddrive....then I'll have a 24/7 folder up and running. I'll just finish off my 4850....if F@H eats it....so be it. Trying to sort out some temp issues with my GTX275 right now....probably going to take some creative duct working to get the temps acceptable for folding. My 4850 was getting 2000-2500 PPD when it started getting artifacts in 2D mode.

got FahMon to work finally....switched to a txt based client and blam...works like a charm....and FahMon is reporting about 4000 ppd

gpu runs at about 75 degrees with fans at about 68 % so im not too worried....ive never had an evga card quit on me anyways....just need to stop using the pc when im folding.....have no idea what my max ppd is yet

i dont really feel bad just pissed off, my pc spends more time not working properly than it does, i was playing prototype at the point it died, the fan stopped working didnt know why didnt even bothered to look just called novatech and they said send it in, hopefully they'll call me today and let me know whats up

I was at work with my card at home folding when it screwed up. I don't even know how long it had been messed up when I got home. I voided the warranty on it by replacing the GPU cooler with a Zalman because the temps were too high at idle to be able to fold with it. Was running 85C at idle with the reference cooler and 105-110C running WoW....within 30sec of F@H starting, it would hit 115C and result in F@H crashing. That's what I get for rushing to buy one when they were first released....my GTX275 runs a bit hotter than I care for as well....48C at idle....without my fan rule, it exceeds 70C within a few seconds of F@H starting. Can't seem to keep my fan rule working when F@H is running to keep it below 70C.

i like that it can show the log in the program(not sure what the MHZ setting is for though...have it at 1 or the default)....thanks happy!.....as for the heat of my card...it stands idle at 60c but never gets higher than 75c so as long as it doesn't start hitting 80 i think ill rest easy...for now

Average now 11k

Where are you getting your "Average" from?

aircool · 07-14-2009, 19:48 | posts: 13,426 | Location: Devon, In A Little Town.

SMP and GPU on his rig with a mild over clock seems enough from what I'm seeing on here

yoyo69 · 07-14-2009, 20:01 | posts: 315 | Location: Aylesbury

I did not mean how is he greating that level of ppd, I am reffering to the source!
I think he is reffering to his potential 24 hr ppd not his average 24hr ppd.
My potential ppd reported by Fahmon is 16000-20000 but my average 24hr is currently 9697.
This is because I can not Fold 24/7.

Fair nuff, go by the EOC stats I guess..

I usually go with the last 2 frames because when I fold (rarely) it is running 100%.

i wait till both my gpu have 511 WU then report the total PPD possible, i tend to fold 24/7 unless there is some major heatwave

Nice 12,264 points yesterday happy, I did a 24hr run too and got 15,621, I wish I could do 24/7.
just won a 9800gt on ebay so hopefully that will run along side the 8800gt soon (24000 pertencial points per day)

.

happy · **Memory**: 4GB @ 8-8-8-24 @1600Mhz

cheers, i lost a 1888 yday

bloody coreavc locked up my card!

why cant you fold 24/7 just out of curiosity?

yoyo69 · *Last edited by yoyo69; 07-15-2009 at 18:47.*

My other half is heavy in too Koi Carp, so there are loads of water/air pumps and UV units running all the time, having my two rigs running 24/7 as well would just blow the electric bill sky high.

happy · **Memory**: 4GB @ 8-8-8-24 @1600Mhz

thats fair enough! i respect that

yoyo69 · 07-15-2009, 22:29 | posts: 315 | Location: Aylesbury

What OC did you settle on for the 8800GT?

happy · **Memory**: 4GB @ 8-8-8-24 @1600Mhz

only did the shaders, well it was stable at 1836, but turned it down to 1782 because it is folding all the time, havent had any EUE or unstable machine on that yet, so its doing fine, get a average of 5k ppd for that

hello guys, i just started to figth this morning.. here is a pic.. is this ok ? i mean, my both cores were at 100% of usage.. and what about the gpu use ?

happy · **Memory**: 4GB @ 8-8-8-24 @1600Mhz

@yukss

have a read through this http://folding.stanford.edu/English/WinGPUGuide

and use that client, your 260 will produce alot more points than your cpu in any given time frame

also have a look at HFM it will show you all the details you need to know about work units etc

on a personal note, i'd say use the console client as there is less hassle

YuKsS · 07-16-2009, 16:03 | posts: 1,409 | Location: Venezuela

a lot to read.. i will do it later.. and thanks for the reply happy.
