    How important is memory speed and timing to folding?

    That is very true. my ram is rated for 2000 but i have it at 1800 bc I only have a 181bclk and it doesnt really like 2-12 memory divider

    How important is memory speed and timing to folding?

    Well just an example I have my memory at 1800 w a 3.8ghz overclock and am seeing bigadv numbers similar to 4-4.2ghz. Timing doesnt play a crucial role in bigadv but speed does. Ill have a better measure when I get my 950 oced bc it has 1600 ram in it

    How important is memory speed and timing to folding?

    Well almost all ram now runs at 1.65v. You can actually find low voltage ram w good timings and such that run at 1.5v

    Upgrade time - recommendations?

    Personally I would recomend an evga card thats model number ends w AR. AR models have lifetime warranties and cover anything as long as there is no physical damage to the board (TR only has a 2 year warranty). PNY are good also and I think they have a lifetime warranty as well. ASUS make good...

    How important is memory speed and timing to folding?

    The only difference between dual, tri, and quad channel kits is that the memory is identical and works together flawlessly. When I build my first computer I built 3 identical ones for my family and thought hey lets get 4 tri channel kits so each has 8 gb (I didnt know anything about computers at...

    How important is memory speed and timing to folding?

    If you can find some 2000mhz ram w timings of 9-9-9 or lower would be the best for folding since timings arent as big of a factor. Gskill and corsair are my favorite but I have some decent ocz memory in my x58 rig. In my 2 faster p55's I have gskill perfect storm which they dont make any more...

    How important is memory speed and timing to folding?

    Tri-channel is higher performing than dual channel but can only be used on x58 systems. If you put 3 sticks of ram in a dual channel system it will only see it as single channel. I believe feather is right about BD being quad channel but im not sure if that will only be on the server side or...

    How important is memory speed and timing to folding?

    Tri-Channel ram is for the x58 series chips. Its the only series that supports tri-channel and has enough dimm slots for 2 sets. For all other chips dual or quad channel are what they use. in the future the newer chips will come w quad-channel controllers so pick up a 2x4 or 4x2 or 2x2 with...

    GPU3 not receiving work

    There was an issue with the gpu3 server this afternoon I believe. A bunch of people were able to upload the wu's or get new ones but it seems to have been resolved around 6 for receiving and 7:20 for sending

    Folding pratices guideline

    I personally think all folding forums need to have a stickey explaining aspects of folding such as how the wu's are made and assigned because most people that start know nothing about what they are actually doing. When I started I realized I was doing a small portion of a project but didnt...

    The race to 4 billion

    I know what you mean. Up until today I was checking my rigs every 20 min or so to see if my bigadv was 1% closer to being done lol
