Just upgraded my MB and GFX card =)

before: Was getting 1500 ppd from vmware client.

Now: 2000ppd for vmware client and 3100ppd for gfx client...

Still more to come as I overclock them both.

Not massive ppd compared to your setups but I'm happy. I just want to reach 20000 points, thats my goal now.

=)

 

Good milestone to get started on, but you're not going to stop at that - right?

 

I see your team rank is 2491. Why not try for the top 1000?

Thats how i started to get addicted a few years back.

 

Nice - you already see an improvement.

It's good to be happy and not have stupidly high expectations. That way you always get what you set out to achieve! (Well, until the bug bites and you can't reign your expectations back in. )

 

Top 1000 is a long way off at the moment! Depends how close the points gap is between everyone.

I'm just chuffed I've more than tripled my output. Would like to OC my cpu more but its at 70 Celsius when folding. Will have to get a decent cooler.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Is it just me or do you guys also have problems convincing the wife that folding isn't wasting electricity?

 

lol i always get, "why is the pc left on?!" just answer.." downloading *insert what ever u want to be d/l here*! "
it usually works

 

Probably have comments made about leccy useage on a weekly basis , and especially when she opens the bill while I'm away on buiness !! Over the winter months, considering them as 'heaters' seems to work , during the summer it becomes a bit more tricky

 

I left my machine folding overnight with my new overclock and it seems to be fine. CPU temp is a bit high at 71ish celcius GPU seems normal at 75 celcius.

Just done a screen grab of fahmon:


And I've reached the 10k mark, another 10k to get to my goal.

 

I remember having the 20k target, then 50k, then 100k now it's 10 million & 100k ppd

 

So you are saying folding can be addictive then?

That is an awesome ppd rate, what rigs are you using Saspro? If you don't mind me asking of course.

 

I'm only hitting 50-65k ppd at the moment.
Currently running
2x 4x8800GT farms
1x 2x8800GTX & 1x8800GT rig (frankenstein rig untill stuff comes back from RMA)
a couple of q6600's in SMP.
1x qx9650
1x gtx280
4x 8800GS (on loan only)

When everything's back I'll have

3x quad 8800GT rigs
1x tri 8800GTX rig
at least 2x q6600's running vmware smp

I'm also looking at adding some Xeon's & other servers I have (for load testing purposes)

I've had to scale back a bit as I moved jobs so don't have the luxury of a whole rack to myself in a server room
