Due to circumstances and a rushed fiber internet installation at my (rented) apartment, the freshly installed fiber modem ended up in the basement, with a highly inconvenient way to route Cat-6 between the ground floor apartment and the fiber modem (lots of drilling & running cable through...

Hello, Just wanted to drop a quick message that even though I have been AWOL/MIA for a while, I'm currently back to lurking on [H]. Haven't folded in a while (8+ years...) mostly on account of the astronomical electricity prices here in Germany (did some moving). If I ever move to a country...

I recently built a new Intel i7 6700k system using an Asus Z170 Pro Gaming after reading great reviews about it on [H] and elsewhere. My experience so far has been practically negative, however. First the specs of the new system: - Intel i7 6700K - Asus Z170 Pro Gaming - 32 GB (4 x 8 GB)...

I'm close to pulling the trigger on the last parts of my new system build, including a shiny new 6700K. My only worry right now is that going for the (cheaper) tray (OEM) version might be a bad idea, due to shorter warranty and possibly other unforeseen consequences. Am I just being paranoid...

I'm in the process of building a new PC around Skylake. I wish to have three Dell U2515H 1440p displays connected (via DP, they don't do DVI). Gaming I would do just on one of these displays, preferably at 1440p. I am considering getting a GTX970 with 3x DP outputs. It's just that after the...

Today I did the unimaginable and rebooted Windows on my laptop to fix some issues with the GPU in it. After this and installing a new NVidia driver to fix Optimus (switching between the 660M GPU and HD4000 IGP) I noticed that the fan in the lappy was still blazin'. Looking at Task Manager I...

After the recent theft of my belongings I'm looking at buying replacement LCD monitors. Previously (2012) I had settled on U2412M 24" LCD monitors as the best choice for my purposes (programming, Photoshop, After Effects, 3DS Max and the occasional gaming, mostly). Looking at the currently...

I'd like to not see this new subforum appear in the 'New Posts' listing or anywhere else. I have no interest in any of the 'content' in this forum and frankly find much of it to be quite offensive. I do however like the [H]obbies section and even GenMay has its moments otherwise I'd just ask...

Hi guys, long time no folding :) I just started the F@H client on my 3630QM-based laptop (CPU client only) while I'm slowly easing my way back into doing F@H. And rebuilding my life, I guess. Why I vanished from F@H earlier this year (March-ish?) was because my then housemate kicked me out...

My first good UPS I bought years ago was an MGE one, which worked perfectly year after year and still works aside from bad batteries. I replaced it with an APC BackUPS CS 650 VA which died after a few years for no apparent reason. APC refuses any liability, saying that the CS series just wasn't...

Odd issue here, when I try to access files on this Windows 7 Ultimate system via the LAN using its IP address or via the network list in Explorer, I get the login box as usual, just that after typing in the username and password, the box just pops up again, with the same data filled in, but...

I started folding on a new GTX 660 Ti yesterday in my main system and while it's generally a positive experience there is one thing I could do without: the same kind of horrible system lag I experienced with specific GPU drivers with the previous GPU clients, 2+ years ago. I'm running the...

With the latest v7 client on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and latest NVidia drivers the simulation stops with the error GPU_MEMTEST_ERROR. This even after following this guide: http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?&m=1526339&mpage=1 Things tried so far: - Set the client-type to 'beta'. - Updated...

Hi everyone :) For the past few days (since last Thursday) I have been using a Dell U2412M which as you all may know is a LED edge-lit IPS LCD, to replace the Iiyama 20" CRT I was using before. I'm still using the (aging) Iiyama 19" CRT I was using before as part of a dual-monitor setup next...

A few months ago I bought this Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 (v1.0) keyboard to replace the $5 keyboard I had been using up till that point without any major complaints. While this keyboard is a dream to type on and definitely has better ergonomics than the keyboard it replaced I am...

A friend offered me his 21" Apple Studio Display as replacement for one of my CRTs which is having issue. The monitor being Apple of course lacks such niceties as a proper OSD, which makes me wonder whether it's any good to use it with a modern Windows OS? It's important for me that I can use...

Last week I upgraded to the Corsair HS1A headset, replacing the AKG K77 headphones I had been using up till that point. The [H] review really wasn't kidding when it said that the soundstage of these headphones is very wide, making it very easy to hear small details in music, movies or games. I'm...

A few days ago I was forced to shut down the last F@H client I had running. With my GTX275 out of the running due to noise and electricity cost issues I'm now dead in the water. Got said GTX275, a 9800GX2 and two Q6600s all sitting idly now. I would love to keep folding, but with my life and...

My current setup is as follows: I have 4 email accounts, one using GMail's IMAP API, the other using 1and1's IMAP. The other two accounts are also on 1and1's servers, but years ago, before I realized that they offered IMAP, I setup a local IMAP server (hmailserver) on my network and had it...

Until a few days ago I was using the 196.21 driver with my GTX275 on Windows 7 without any significant issues. Then I had to upgrade the driver because I need OpenGL 3.3 support, which is a more recent addition than what the 196 driver provides. Now, however, I'm having severe UI lag, even...

Alright, I have this CMS I developed. I installed it without any issues on the production server, then I sent the client the admin panel (C++/Qt application) and the installation package for the development server. The code was as far as I can determine extracted correctly on the development...

The thread in question at NVidia Forums: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=187401 A good friend and colleague of mine built a new system a few months ago, with an Asus mainboard and Zotac GTX580. Shortly after setting up Windows 7 he began to experience major graphical glitches...

I created this application for a friend who runs a chess club. He gave me permission to put it on my site as well: http://www.mayaposch.com/chessboard.php It allows one to create the images of chess board configurations one sees in chess magazines and on websites, is freeware, runs on Windows...

As the title says, I integrated CKEditor ( http://ckeditor.com/ ) into a PHP project, yet found out that on Windows 7 with Firefox 3.6.12 the editor doesn't load. The textarea is replaced, but all that is displayed is a blank field, no input element. The only error I see in the Error Console is...

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 rev. 1.0 AM2+ mainboard and was wondering which AM3 CPUs it supports, therefore I asked the following question: Their response was as follows: Now, I quote from the Socket AM3 page at Wikipedia: So... is Gigabyte basically pretending this mainboard can not...

I decided to start the GPU client on the second core of my 9800GX2 yesterday and within minutes I was reminded of how terribly noisy these cards are with both cores at load. Since I got the system in my combined office/bedroom I don't think there's a way I can run the client on more than one...

My housemate recently got a Xerox Phaser 6140 colour laser printer and set it up as a network printer via its built-in ethernet port. He can print fine from his Linux system and I can print from my laptop which runs XP, yet from my PC which runs Win7 I can not seem to print at all. First of...

I currently got my system connected to a Creative Inspire 5300 5.1 surround set, and I wish to add some good headphones to this configuration. What I will be using these headphones for is quite diverse, ranging from merely listening to music, to judging the sound, music and such in the games I...

Hi guys, as you can see here: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=45650 I have had some weird, sudden drops in my PPD. On top of that FahSpy reports that one Q6600 (in system with one 9800GX2) is producing 78 PPD, and the other Q6600 (CPU-only system) a grand total of...

I looked at the temperatures of my folding systems earlier today and noticed that the 9800GX2 is running at around 90C on both cores already, with the Q6600s at around 60C per core. Once the 9800GX2 reaches ~95C I'll shut it down, the Q6600s at around 75C or so. If I had better cooling for the...

Hi all :) For a while I have been wanting to use this camcorder my housemate bought last year for something fun, and a few days ago I came up with the idea of making a short video on F@H, including an explanation of what F@H is, why I'm doing it and include some shots of my little farm/garden...

Last week I bought myself a new calibration kit, for the first time with a hardware colorimeter device, the X-rite i1 Display 2 which according to TFTCentral.co.uk is the best (affordable) colorimeter one can get. For only 159 Euro including shipping it was mine on EBay from a UK shop. I would...

Hi guys, as you may already know, I have been running Win7 for a few weeks now and have been generally happy with it aside from some initial minor issues. On this system I'm folding using the F@H GPU client (GTX275). PPD is normal. What I find annoying is that when I try to play videos...

As said, when I launch the GPU client on my AMD 4450e system to fold on the GTX275 the Windows 7 GUI becomes very nearly unresponsive, with seconds of lag between opening menus, switching windows and such. I already switched to the Windows Classic theme and disabled PhysX and all fancy UI...

Today I decided to install a legal copy of Windows 7 Enterprise a friend had provided me with. Installation went okay, everything seemed fine. Then things pretty much went downhill from there. While the low-level features of Win7 seem pretty okay, especially the user interface suffers from...

First of all, yes I'm aware of the official stance of Stanford on the use of FPGAs for F@H: http://fahwiki.net/index.php/Alternative_FAH_Platforms#FPGA Second, the reason given on that page doesn't make one bit of sense. Third, I link to HPRC articles such as the following...

Hi all, I just installed a fresh eGroupWare installation (1.6.002) on a Windows 2003 R2 host with Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2 and PostgreSQL 8.4. Everything worked fine until I got to the configuration section (Step 2 - Configuration). For some reason it doesn't save any of the settings I fill in on the...
