First off I have been away from the hardware stuff for a few years now. So not sure what is going on in the video card world. I presently am running a GTX 460 card on a windows 7 machine. I am running a 24" and 27" display off of it and want to add at LEAST a 32" tv to the mix. 24" is at 1920 x...

I have been running a I7-2600K for a couple of years now oc'd to 4. I know lots of folks went higher than that but I never could get mine to. Meanwhile the system as of late has gotten a bit unstable. It would never run with 4 memory banks full (2gb sticks) So I ran on 2 for a long time. I have...

Having struggled with wireless IP cameras for a bit now I have decided to go with a powerline system. First off be gentle as my experience with powerline stuff is pretty new. I plan on putting a powerline adaptor in my computer room in my house and then two or more adaptors in the detached...

As I said above I have an SR-2 and am reading the SR-2 thread... whew... I understand to plug in the two 8 pin power connectors but what about the PCI-e power connectors? I plan on overclocking and the manual only says these are optional. Oh and this will be a dedicated folder... so...

You must pick this up. I am not shipping this rack. Besides the shipping would be more than the rack. hehe Bought this rack several years ago to finally rack mount all my folding boxes. When I moved to this house I found I can't get the thing into my computer room. Has set in my living room...

Well the above is my dilemma. I haven't thought it totally through and here is the situation. In my quest for a hex box I ended up buying a 2p server motherboard with X5550's as it was more reasonable. Then while trolling around looking for some hex chips at a reasonable price I ended up buying...

Well folks I finally did it. I bought a 2p system. It almost broke me but got one coming. In any case my ppd should jump dramatically in a couple of weeks. My Christmas present to myself. Course this means I will have to sell off one of my systems listed in my sig. Not sure which one yet and...

Anybody else having trouble getting a new SMP work unit? I checked the stats page and it looks like plenty of servers are up but my one smp-12 rig won't download any. Just keeps saying nothing available. V 6.34 Windows XP by the way.

Well I finally did it. Tonight I broke into the top 100. Sure I can't keep up with many of you but since January of this year I have climbed to 99th spot and over 16 million points. My 3 boxes, a Q9550 with 2 GTX 460's, an I7 970 with 1 GTX460, and finally my I7 2600K together are churning out...

Well as I was in Vegas for the last couple of months my home machines shut down. Quickly getting them built, up and running, I made a few mistakes that cost me. I am in ~120th place after all that. Been stuck there for a while now with only my one dual 460 GPU machine churning out 25K a day...

Found a 970 and am looking to sell my 920 and 940. 940 oc's to 3.6 stable folding. But if you use more volts it MAY go farther I am just not going higher as I don't want to hurt the chip. As usual ymmv 920 oc's to 4.04 easily and is stable folding. I7 940 SLBCK C0 stepping and...

Looking for one of these that I can overclock for my folding farm. Trying to catch up to some of the great folders here on the [H]orde. Since I can get them for $279 locally, just looking to beat that price shipped. Thanks for looking, Rick

Found a 970 and am looking to sell my 920 and 940. 940 oc's to 3.6 stable folding. But if you use more volts it MAY go farther I am just not going higher as I don't want to hurt the chip. As usual ymmv 920 oc's to 4.04 easily and is stable folding. Bare CPU's no HSF I7 940 for $180...

Say I just bought a 920 to fold on. Gonna replace my 940 with it as it will clock slightly higher. Something near 4.1+ However I am getting the bug to get a 6 core processor like the 970 or 980. I see 980's for around $650 and 970 are closer to $400. Since they both overclock about the same...

Well finally after several weeks of messing around I got the I7 online today. It is doing a bigadv as we speak. My first bigadv. So will be adding around 30K to my daily score if all goes well. Should put me in the top 100 in the foreseable future... Now to get busy and oc the thing... so...

Well did it... finally broke into the top 500 yesterday. Avging around 27k a day. I know not a lot to some of you but its a lot for me. Just waving my own flag .... FOLD ON!

First off I am not sure how to descrbe this... Secondly it is NOT a communication problem. The mouse and receiver talk to each other just fine. My mouse is very flaky. It seems to skip around the screen a lot and is very hard to put it on a particular spot. As I move it it seems to hop and...

All parts for sale are in great condition. Always used in systems under a full time UPS so never seen any surges. Most parts were used for my folding farms and most have never been overclocked. Just run 24/7 at full load. Price includes shipping to ConUS. Shipping extra to others. CPU'S...

I am considering leaving the team I am on (2CPU) and joining you guys. A couple of questions: 1. If I change teams what happens to my points from before. I know they don't transfer here but do I just lose them? 2. Do I need to get a new passkey if I change? 3. Is there anything else I need to...

I just finished testing the difference between a 768 card and a 1gb card for folding. It was a bit lengthy for a post so I put it in an article form on my website. For anyone interested see this link

Any ideas on how much I will gain with the above upgrade? I am averaging about 12k for the two 9800's now.
