The carpet is poo. Thats why we can sling so much. folding as JRitt with MaximumPC

Tigerbiten, Have you considered instaed of running windows and 2 linux O/S's on one machine you could just run 1 linux OS with 2 instances of SMP (from different folders). You lose the overhead of windows and 1 linux O/S. Its faster to boot and is a lower memory hog. You can start the SMP with...

While this is strictly legal this contest is designed (as are all of them) to get and keep the interest in folding. We should not (in the name of science) halt or store partly done WU's to jumpstart the score for the sake of a contest.

The amount of heat generated by a computer is directly related to it power consumed. Each watt consumed is equal to 3.3BTU, So a quad using 175W is producing (175W x 3.3) 577BTU of extra heat into the room. A standard room (144sqft) with 3 computers running can be cooled easly with a 7500BTU...

2 GO builds here and they are at 3.4 and 3.5ghz, rock solid 24x7 folding@95% CPU usage

The better question is what MB did you put it in. B3's will go 3.2+ on an P35 board (GA-P35-DS3L) but I found a lot of P965 chips that will not O/C well with a quad

I'm running HR-01's with slow 120mm fans (900rpm), 3.5ghz, 1.37v and all of the cores stay below 52deg C on all 3 quads.

I agree. If you plan on needing more sata than the 4 provided than move up to the P35-DS3R. That will get you 8 sata's of which you can raid 6 of them

I have three quads all right next to each other with ultra 120's cooling them. All are clocked at 3.4 ghz and stay at 48deg with silverstone fans. They are in a basement office (very quiet) running F@H and I can barely hear any fans running.

You could do a pad mod to raise the FSB to 333 (from 266) and get a 3.0ghz machine (up from 2.4).

Get a dryer vent and mount a 120mm fan to it and duct that heat out the window

I have a similar folding machine and it draws 135W (it does have a harddrive and an x300 video card though so mine should be highr than yours by ~10w). A 250W supply will be fine

I currently have 3 965P-DS3's with quads and I glued this 40mm fan on the NB. Its quiet and does the job.

Mine are 48c-50c at 95% load on all cores

Wouldn't that be a rule of finger?
