Quick question before I buy today. I'm getting 16gb of ram and don't plan on overclocking the ram. Is it better to get two 8gb sticks (dual channel) or four 4gb sticks (quad channel) for a X99 motherboard?
I have no idea what PSU I need so looking for reliable good advice.

Thought my Klipsch speakers went out so I got the kick-ass Swan M50W 2.1 speakers. Found out it's my Auzentech X-Fi Forte soundcard that died. Love the Swan speakers by the way! So what's the latest and greatest soundcard to get for around $200 or less? Thanks in advance to everyone willing to...
My Klipsch 2.1 speakers died. What's the best speakers to buy that matches the Klipsch or better? I listen to mostly music but would like a well balanced COMPLETE system (not looking to piece together everything). Looking to spend around $230 or less. Seen a few posts about the Swan M10. Like I...
Ubernerd alert! It's a sad, sad day when I'm going out getting tanked, working on picking up girls (mothers included), and thinking about how many PpD I'm getting folding. Long live rock -n- roll my folders!!!!

P.S. I'll worry about my posting later when I've sobered up. Don't...
I'm trying to get HFM.net to display the correct completion date/time when folding on a VM. Is there anyway to sync the date/time of the VM to the date/time of my computer or my local time? I'm not sure if it's the VM or Linux running in VM that needs to be synced to my computer/local date and time.
I know I'm small fish and fold away in my little corner of the world but was surprised at how fast QQucumber came out of no-where and mowed me down. I've also got Catfish449 and Caducus on my ass! Time for another -bigadv to move up and give me some distance. Anyway, just thought I'd post and...
Is it possable to switch from SMP 8 to SMP 7 during the day to encode video and rip DVDs and back to SMP 8 at night without losing WUs in SMP client (A3, etc.) and VM SMP client (-BIGADV)? For example, I wake up in the morning and I'm at 56% in a WU. I tap CTRL+C to stop, do a -configonly to...
I decided to start a -bigadv and noticed the download time in HFM doesn't match the actual real time. In HFM it shows I started the download on Feb. 27 and not today. I also noticed the credit (including bonus) only shows around 25,000 and not 50,000. I deleted the FAHlog.txt, unitinfo.txt...
I've got a couple of questions about HFM. Under 'Status', what do the different colors mean (yellow, blue, green bars)? Under 'PPD', what does this number mean (do I earn these points after completing the WU?)? Under 'Credit', is this the total points I will be awarded including bonus after the...
I had everything going nicely running -bigadv and monitoring the results in HFM until I had a power outage for 2 hours. I got -bigadv running again but HFM isn't displaying any results. I think the log folder (\\192.xxx.x.xxx\fah\) has changed. Where can I find the new address?
It's been 5 days since I first began folding. Now I'm ready to make the jump to -bigadv. The current flags I'm using are -smp 8 -verbosity 9 -advmethods. Do I change the flags to -smp 8 -verbosity 9 -bigadv or -smp 8 -verbosity 9 -advmethods -bigadv? I don't plan on using VM. I don't think I...
I'm running Windows 7 64bit and the following hardware. Can I fold at home and join the [H] team #33?

I've got a quick question concerning gigabit. I have cat5 (gigabit) cabling going from the tap outside of my house to the modem in the house. My ethernet port is gigabit on my motherboard but my router (old Linksys WRT54G Ver.4) is only 10/100. If I get a gigabit router like the D-Link DIR-655...
I've got a mild overclock of 3.6 and my ram (Mushkin Redline 12gb) seems to be tight together and not allowing proper cooling. What's the best fan cooler to get for 6 sticks of ram?

Is it possable for Memtest+86 to give a false positive? I tested a stick of ram that failed on pass 2 but after shutting down the computer and back on re-running Memtest+86 on the same stick of ram it has now passed over three passes.
How many passes do I need to consider ram good? If it...
After having my SSD fail after the 1.4 firmware update, I was able to recover with a little research.
This worked for me and I now have my SSD back with no SMART errors and everything working perfectly including TRIM.

Need advice. I've got an Intel G2 80gb SSD on the way and need to know the best way to use it. On average I use about 25-30 gigs of apps including the operating system. Should I put all of my apps on the SSD and use my other regular drive for storage, downloading and whatever else or should I...
Is there a difference in what 5870 brand I get if they all have the same specs? The two I was thinking about getting are the XFX or ASUS. I'm not familiar with XFX and some of the other brands so I'm thinking about getting the ASUS 5870 because of the well known brand. Any opinions?
List of...

Looking for a good soundcard to install on an EVGA X58 motherboard. Main use will be for music and gaming using 2:1 Klipsch certified THX speakers. I'm not running a studio so I only need a good card for music and gaming only. Budget is $150 and less. Looks like AuzenTech is prefered most so I...
This may be a stupid question but I have to ask. Is there any motherboard that will run an i7 950 with DDR3 1600 memory without overclocking? I thought I read somewhere that you can set the QPI in the motherboard bios to 6.4 and run DDR3 1600 with an i7 950 without overclocking.
If you can't...
Everytime I visit this forum it only lists one page with thirteen posts. Is there any way to access older posts and go back a few pages? Possably a setting to allow more pages with older posts?

Seems like I've got the parts for the ultimate computer but I'm not sure what power supply I need. Most of the time I'll be using all quad cores for encoding video but will definately heat things up with some gaming. Here's the build:
