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.
Ahh your running windows on that rig, that makes sense, when I had win7 on my rig I got around 32-35k, when I went to linux mint (on that rig, stats were the same when I had ubuntu) I shot up to 38-42k
I gained 17% PPD going from Windows 7 to Native Ubuntu/Linux Mint, gains in VM are similar around 15% Ive heard. Ive got a similar setup to you, I had my 2600k @4.8 but after 2-3 days 24/7 folding I got a lockup, down to 4.7 and has been 24/7 for a few weeks now. Getting around 40,000ppd in Linux.
When I worked in a computer shop 10 years back we had a bad run of Maxtors 50% failure rate from the factory, probably 1 of 6 didnt end up getting sent back before the warranty was up. This was over a 2-3 months period. Kept me away from Maxtors since.
I just had a pair of Seagates fail, they...
Glad I asked thanks guys, not having any experience with this I just assumed a lot of things, the case issue wouldn't be a problem but the PSU issue is a dealbreaker, I have a much better idea of what Im looking for now, thanks.
I was running 10.04 with no issues then foolishly "upgraded" to 11.10, it was nothing but frustration. I am a novice Linux user but 11.10 is much more difficult for me to get around, I went back to 10.04 and have mint downloading.
I have a chance to pick up one of these for around $300 shipped but I cant seem to find any reviews, it dosent seem to be too popular. Can anyone shed some light as to why? Is that price good/normal. Most 2p motherboards I see starting in the low $400's.

"Failed to acquire org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector: Connection ":1.85" is not allowed to own the service "org.gnome.CPUFreqSelector" due to security policies in the configuration file
"
So Im still at square one. Is it my...
Thanks Josiah, someone just recently told me it could be the old version also. I just downloaded 11.10 and when Im done this big adv I'll throw it on. Failing that I'll try your suggestion. Thanks a lot for the reply.

Its a nice unit, cleaned up Im sure you could find something to do with it, keep it on your desk to put envelopes/bills, it was hip back in the day to make your own ram sinks, but I think this beast is a bit thick and would be awkward to work with. Make some fridge magnets. I cant think of...
I just bought the finest cheapest case I could find with space for side by side 120mm fans, dual rad fits right in. $45+tax with 4 120mm fans already installed.
Hey guys I just installed Ubuntu in a dual boot setup with Win7. When I boot into Windows Speedstep works, when im at 100% load it clocks up to 4430mhz. No problems.
When I boot into Linux cat /proc/cpuinfo just shows default 3400mhz
dmidecode shows 3549mhz for some reason. Both these were...
