Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I usually buy the EPS extender with bigger internal wires (only $3.00), cut that adapter wires in half, reconnect yellow to black and black to yellow. Use electrical tape to insulate it. Now the female side can be plugged in directly with PCIE from the PSU. This way you can still reuse that PSU...
I found that different resistance on the EPS wire will cause the motherboard to heat up to 50C at the connection point. What I found helping is plugging any EPS adapters to near the 24pins. The straight 8pins cpu connector from PSU should be at the bottom of the motherboard or further away from...
I have all the parts for folding except the you guess right.;)
Looking for used 4P motherboard in working condition to replace the broken motherboard I have on ebay. Preferred GL, but GI will do as well.
PM me for details.
I finally got mine running stable at 3.7ghz 1.275V. My frametime is around 8:50 on 8101.. Possibly because of my slow ram.
Temperature at VRM is 70C, so I'm at limit, unless I watercool the VRM as well ;)
yeah, basically the VRM area must dissipate 20% of the total cpu heat. If your OC cause the cpu to consume 200W that is a whooping 40W of heat that the VRM has to dissipate. In my case, I had the heatsink on and no fan, it still smoked those mosfets :o
They are 6.5 x 6.5 mm
The mosfet will burn at high OC not the Ferrite chokes (the taller components). It does not hurt to sinks them. The more the merrier, but most of the time it is in the way of the cpu heatsink mount.
right still have 1 half length pin dangling in cpu2 socket :D 6200 never boot on cpu1 socket which is perfect. Even with ver 3.0, only spinning fan, no graphic led is on.
I used 3M thermal tape and thrown away marker's board aluminum frame cut out seems ok as well.
not 24 but lots' more than that just a few posts above

ubuntu 10.10 booting process is very fast. There is no speed advantage in using different hardrive. Just make sure you have ext3 partition for folding. Other option is to fold in ram. If you are WC and OC to the max get those mosfet heatsinks and fan. I've learned it the hard way.
Thanks tear you're right. Upon close inspection inside cpu socket. One pin were broke in half. The other were bent. I only fixed the bend one and now all dimms are recognized and function correctly.
