    Show me a useful project for my GPU that is equivalent. GPUGrid?

    Change in BA requirements

    Found the way that thread was closed really offensive. It's like a part-time rarely-seen and unliked barkeeper walking up to a group of the regulars and telling them to change the subject.

    Crazy Cooling Idea: Rig in Chest Freezer?

    Underground tanks here Please don't try using freezers. And to the person who said vegetables produce heat, are you serious? Any food once in a freezer is not "producing heat"; it is losing heat and eventually heat entropy occurs. With a computer, it is producing vast amounts of heat...

    gtx670 ppd low?

    Is going back to 327 going to actually stop BF4 from working at all or only slow it down slightly? Because with the older drivers your GTX670 would be getting 80K ppd.

    Folding used to work, now GPU_MEMTEST_ERRORs

    Would need to see the start of the log but one immediate suggestion would be to revert to older drivers like the v326 or v314. v331 is known to not play nicely with folding unless you have a 780ti or Titan.

    And where is the letter? Or is so self-important he doesn't feel anyone else might have a view on his opinions? Why won't he publish it?

    My bad. That is he. And just in case anyone should wonder why I'm posting on this subject (as MikeTimbers has also not folded for a long time) I fold and post on FF as HaloJones.

    bruce may not be a big folder like some. he folds for The Genome Collective which is one of the earliest teams in Folding. He folds as b.borden.

    Massive Water Cooling Setup Suggestions Welcomed

    Use a closed loop to water-cool the cards using generic VGA coolers instead of full-cover ones. That way you can re-use the blocks and they are much cheaper as well. Then cool the closed loop's water with a heat exchanger pushing the heat into the mains water as suggested above. BTW, this...

    Change in BA requirements

    Not only the BA units but the current absence of core17 units with the new beta core15 units halves production for no consequent reduction in utility bill :(

    Weirdest Thing You Will See All Day

    Genius. Strangely though, the official code for this is not in the source code so one of the other .js files must have got it. Loving pressing A repeatedly!

    Cannot get new GPU core 15 to install

    Had this same problem with a GTX260 and now a GTX460. Both hung on Updating core and needed a manual replacement from another machine as they just kept on downloading 2.22

    Agreed. Haven't seen one for a while. :(

    Attention GPU Folders: Make sure you are set up for QRB units

    My post should of course have said 44000, not 440000, but still crazy. That card is in a rig with a 465 which is reporting 85K ppd for an 8057.

    Attention GPU Folders: Make sure you are set up for QRB units

    A 450GTS caught a 8057 unit and is reporting 440000 points per day! Insane but hell, make hay while the sun shines!

    Attention GPU Folders: Make sure you are set up for QRB units

    This is just another example of PG's points inflation. Whenever it seems people are tiring of Folding we get another new process where the lucky ones who look on forums like this find out how to get units that they shouldn't get and points that are ridiculously out of whack. And it stirs up the...

    Best PPD for a 2600K

    4.6GHz and a Linux VM running 6.34 with a GTX260 running in Windows, the 2600K is getting around 33K. If I stop the 260, I can get to around 35K. For points per watt, the 2600K is outstanding.

    Mixing metals in the Watercooling loop

    The GTX needed a replacement copper top which I had to buy. The other one is a museum piece and paper weight. The lesson here is never trust anodizing.

    Mixing metals in the Watercooling loop

    Swiftech Apogee with corrosion. 6 months old. BeCooling SlitEdge. Neither of these would have been doing any good for the pump. Galvanic corrosion is a big problem. Bad anodizing in both these cases was to blame.

    Start Folding the Easy Way!!

    Gave up with it. Got errors reporting a "StartIndex" was less than zero and went back to my classic console clients.

    Hmm, had to enter the extra_parms setting in client.cfg manually.

    Start Folding the Easy Way!!

    Having a small problem with this. I've always had them all set up manually and it's been fine running SMP console plus two gpu command line clients. With this app, the two gpu clients don't seem to be running on separate cards! How do I force this? There seems to be nowhere to set this manually.

    Folding@Home Donor Advisory Board Topics

    Since Bruce folds for TGC, I second that opinion.

    Question about Parallel Flow/Galvanic Corrosion

    That's what Galvanic corrosion looks like. Top one is a Swiftech with military-grade anodizing and the bottom one is a SlitEdge

    Vote: Donor Advisory Board Member

    The Genome Collective is too small to get a board member although Bruce folds for TGC so I guess we're represented already. But I voted for Tobit because he deserves it.

    Should the [H]orde transition projects?

    As a long time member of the forums here but a cruncher for The Genome Collective I wholeheartedly agree with the proposal to have an advisory board. There is a huge disconnect between the scientists and the workers. The FoldingForum doesn't bridge that gap except as technical support. All...

    Do 9800GX2's just die for no reason?

    Yes I think they do. Mine was water-cooled (and clocked to 756 but that obviously was nothing to do with it ;) ) and ran FAH 24/7. Then one day the daughter-card blew. Then a while later the main card just went. At all times, both green LED's working but the card just slowly disappeared from...

    Aluminum and Copper naysayers look here

    So an old block from that manufacturer worked and so we should all stop worrying about galvanic corrosion? Here's a newer block from the same manufacturer. Used with distilled water and coolant conditioner. That's why you shouldn't do it because not every block will be as well anodized as...

    Thermochill P160 + Heatkiller 3.0 + i7 920 = OK?

    Given how many people are using only a 240.2 from the likes of XSPC or worse (i.e. they're no match for a PA-series rad) and a PA160 isn't far off the size of a 240.2 my hunch would be that you won't have any problems. The only issue is that a 240.2 can support two 120mm fans where it sounds...

    New HardOCP Thread

    Why are the headings (the ones with the dates in them) flash? Why in Firefox do the headings in the featured articles appear once as an image and once again as a Flash object? NB These are not ads, just pieces of text. If you must use a graphic for text, can't it be a graphic and not Flash?

    Favorite Reservoirs

    The Criticool Waterplant works well.
  38. M

    To reservoir or not to reservoir? That is the question.

    I've used a T-line and now a Criticool and although the Criticool is much easier to fill and bleed it has done precisely nothing for the actual cooling efficiency. If you can spare the time to allow your system to bleed with a T-line, it will work just as well once the system is bled.
