    Phenom II X4 955, Windows 7, Overclocking, and QNC

    Guys In my past experience using QNC under XP if I overclocked a processor (lets say just multiplier) and had QNC enabled, throttling would work fine and be stable but the LOAD state would be the original multiplier not the overclocked multiplier set in the BIOS. I'm thinking of buying the...

    Good 350W-400W PSU?

    I just purchased a VisionTek 400 watt power supply and I love it. It is super quiet and the best part is, it was only $29.99 at Bestbuy.com http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9321263&type=product&tab=7&id=12 18084393178

    I'm still hoping for the day the ATI client doesn't eat up all the CPU so i can run the SMP client too.

    1 month and still exciting

    Guys, Around 1 month ago I started GPU folding and registered at hardfolding.com. The first weeks my attack list was full of retired members and no threat list. Now my rank is under 800 and yesterday i finally got some people in my threat list. It really is exciting trying to keep PPD to keep...

    Probably a redundant question but... ASUS or VISONTEK for 4870 X2?

    never heard of visiontek ! they've been around for a long time. Anyways, lifetime warranty with the visiontek... so i say go with them.

    Single-slot, passive, dual DVI-I Radeon 4k-series?

    VisionTek's 4550 is passive single slot (including heatsink)... based on what i've read it doesn't need any aggressive cooling either.

    Single-slot, passive, dual DVI-I Radeon 4k-series?

    The heatsink on that card looks like it would take up two slots, I know the VisionTek 4550 is a true single slot (including heatsink) passive cooled. But to answer your question this card CAN do dual VGA, you just need another DVI-VGA adapter.

    Any way to utilize ATi 4800 series with F@H?

    I use 4850s and 70s to fold, but you are correct... the ati client uses a lot of cpu power.

    The complete system build with the most effective PPD/price ratio?

    logmein.com messes up the gpu client ? I'm monitoring my two systems that way though. I don't actually bring the nice little spinning molecule up i just use fahmon once i'm remoting in.

    The complete system build with the most effective PPD/price ratio?

    I have a system with a Phenom Quad Core 2.4, 4GB RAM, on a 790FX board, Vista 32, and four (4) HD4850 but I only see PPD of 10K. The problem is that the CPU is at 100% thanks to the awful cpu need of the ATI cards. It is a better setup than Tigerbiten described (20K) but it is a pitty my system...

    4870X2

    I thought it was clear that the 4870x2 was the fastest consumer card out there... so i'm going to say the x2 over the 280.

    How do i know if my card got damaged, it reached 92°C

    The card will operate up to 104C with no problem, at 105C thermal overload takes over at shuts the card down. At that moment you can look at the card and you should see the temp LED on. Keep it might that they've said 110 is the limit.

    GPU + SMP on Dual Core?

    I have two systems both amd phenom quad cores (vista 32). The first system is running a pair of HD4870 and the cpu load is 100%. The second system is running four HD4850s and the cpu load is 100%. As i understand the ati client still uses a lot of cpu, correct? When i was setting up the first...

    GPU servers down

    I'm having the same issues on my second ati based system. 3/4 HD4850s do not have any work. Based on the log file i think it is version 1.10. Should it be that ?

    Do i have to register my Visiontek 4870x2 somewhere to get the warranty?

    You don't need to register to get warranty service, just a copy of the receipt.

    all of the initial 4870/50 were built by ati. So they SHOULD look the same.

    GPU2, activating cards without monitors.

    Hi guys, I recently setup my dual 4870 box and everything is going fine with it. I want to setup a 2 more systems with each running either 2 - 4870s or 4 - 4850, but those systems would not have monitors connected so i wouldn't be able to "activate" those GPUs to run multiple clients. Is...

    Questions about GPU2 setup

    The system i'm setting up is a 4-core Phenom (2.3). The case and motherboard will not hold 4 - 4870s so i was thinking it would be best with 2 - 4870x2, but reading some stuff suggest it doesn't even work properly with a single 3870x2. ?

    Questions about GPU2 setup

    Hi guys, I'm in the process of testing a new setup (with maybe 3 more in the near future) and I just have some questions. I plan to use the GPU2 client under Vista so does it matter if it 32 or 64 bit version? Sometimes the "display" will slow down to a crawl but if i move my mouse and...
