I have a MSI neo2-fr P35 and it's been good to me. With a Q6600 G0 I reached a folding-stable 24/7 clock of 3.54GHz (434x8) with a Tuniq Tower, and I'm running folding-stable 24/7 now on water at 3.89GHz (432x9). I've booted the board into Xubuntu at 4.01GHz (9x445) but wasn't nearly folding...

I started folding for a new team (126176 = "Bipolar Disorder Awareness") and username (Bipolar_Folder), both of which I created roughly 10 hours ago. Since creating my new team and username, two of my SMP clients completed WUs for the new team and username roughly 5 hours ago. There has been a...

I have to give a shout out for Ohio. I'm a bit downstream in Cincinnati, thought out-of-state at the moment, trying desperately to finish up my final papers to graduate at the end of the month. But, I just had to buy a quad, and had to install 10 flavors of Linux on it to find the most...

I ran Memtest86, and passed at 880MHz. I'm stumped.

I just formatted my HD and installed Xubuntu 7.10 yesterday night. (8.04 yields 100 PPD less, no clue why) I'll try upping the RAM voltages, there at a modest 2.1V and then run MemTest86, and see if its stable at that speed.

Also the board has a lot of copper, with two good size heatsinks, 1 over the voltage regulators, another on the NB, with three heatpipes between the two. I have fans drawing air off of each, 120mm and 80mm respectively.

I have a pretty decent PSU, by my estimation. It is a 600W OCZ StealthXstream. Would adding more RAM give me more memory bandwidth--perhaps that's where the crash is originating? Right now I have 2x 1GB Gskill F2 DDR2-800 sticks @ 1:1 = 866MHz

It's a P35 chipset (MSI neo2-fr P35 mobo). What do you think it could be? The same thing happens in XP and Xubuntu, but not with Notfred. I'd use Notfred if only it gave me 2605s like I'm able to get in Xubuntu and XP via VMs. Thanks for your reply, this is driving me crazy. No folding...

The pump I use is submerged, so that limits the type of enclosures I can get for it. My new idea is to, using my Swiss army knife min-saw, see if I can cut some peninsula shaped "holes" in the playmate jr.'s drop-top lid, just big enough to fit the tubing. Easier said then done...

When I was overclocking on air around 3.53GHz (443x8) and I tried to push the system to be stable at 445x8, I would get floating-point exception errors in one of my clients. Now on water, I'm stable at around 433x9, but when I push the clocks too high I get an OS lockup (Xubuntu 7.10), but...

Good idea about closing the loop (i.e. topping the reservoir/playmate). I have 2 drops of Dawn liquid detergent in the loop to break down the surface tension (i.e. "poor-man" water wetter) to make the distilled water more heat conductive, since surface tension blocks heat. This additive should...

I had to drop the overclock to 3.9GHZ (433x9) to reach stability with 4x SMP clients, but as a result I'm utilizing some of those unused processor cycles from running *just* 2x SMP client and netted 58 PPD from the addition of 2 more SMP client , My PPD on the Q6600 went from 5460 PPD to 5508...

I'm going to mess around with it shortly to see if I can run 4x SMP clients at this higher speed and see if I can still make the preferred deadlines. Right now I'm doing a 2605 in 9m 15s and 9m 20s per 1%, or 15h 30s per WU (avg.) These WUs have a preferred deadline of 3 days. I'll report...
