My older Asus Rog Swift (one of the first ones out) died. I need to replace and am looking at the Alienware. NOT in a position to redo GPU hardware in current rig, so is a Dual GTX980 setup good enough to drive this monitor at the stated resolution?

SOOOO It's been a while. My last F@H WU was July of 2012. My gear was getting a little old and with the old job, things were a little tight fiscally so F@H had to be shut down. Well, I am in a new job and that I love and pays a hell of a lot better. In Feb, I will be upgrading my sig rig to...

My wife's computer took a dump and I will be using the parts from it to build a NAS. She needs a new computer and I need a box that I can take to QuakeCon with me next year. In addition, this box will be used for ripping / converting our extensive DVD collection to be placed on the NAS for...

For those that have the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO I've seen people install 140mm fans on the inside, can you install 140mm fans on the outside of the case and a 2x140mm radiator on the inside? I know a Corsair H100i will fit nicely, I've seen pictures of it, but am curious if I can mount a...

My wife and I are having a house built (finally breaking ground next week after several months of waiting). It'll have a dedicated media room and game room. I am COMPLETELY out of the loop with the latest and greatest technologies. Travel for work extensively and we have 21 month old twins...

Well, previous package sold and come to find out the MoBo was bad. It had been working perfectly, but for reasons unknown one memory slot is bad. Previous buyer has confirmed that CPU, RAM, & PSU were fine. Just the MoBo had issues. Could really use the funds so I am going to make a nice...

I have for the sale the following. Payment Terms: USPS MO or PayPal Gift (preferred) or PayPal (+4% for fees) Intel Core i7 920 (2.66, capable of sustained 3.6, includes stock HSF) eVGA x58 SLI MoBo Corsair 3x2GB 8-8-8-24 DDR3 1600 All of this was purchased in late 2010. Ran F@H for a year...

With the arrival of the twins, I am resetting priorities. My SigRig will continue to fold, but this one needs to find a new home. Still capable of producing some decent PpD. [H]orde discount: half of shipping Payment Terms: USPS MO or PayPal Gift (preferred) or PayPal (+4% for fees) I have...

edit: wouldn't ya know it, wiped out my message when I posted my badge I know it has been a while since I have posted. The twins were born on 03/04/12. They spent 9 very long weeks in the NICU due to being a little premature and working through some minor health issues. They are home now...

Well, I messed up and thought I had a Corsair AX1200, but instead I have a Corsair AX750. Payment Terms: USPS MO is preferred and gets a 4% discount. PayPal ok. Items will only ship after payment is received. New these are $160. I am asking $100 shipped ($96 if paid via USPS MO). It is a...

Well IVF (Invitro Fertilization) worked too well. They implanted two embryos and BOTH took. My wife and I are expecting twins. The funds from this sale will go towards the creation of the nursery. Two of everything is apparently not cheap (or so my wife tells me). She has been directed to use...

hmm. entire post wiped out. gonna have to retype: I have been away for a long while. Been busy with work and life. Summer has already hit North TX with some intensity and it is getting difficult to keep the temps in the house at a reasonable cost. For the first time since I joined, I...

So I've been busy the last few weeks and haven't really paid attention to my rigs much. For the most part, they are set and forget. Well the SR-2 decided it wanted to have a good ole brain fart and the config file was corrupted. I did what I was supposed to do. Stopped it, got rid of the...

Started yesterday. Dedicated i7 started getting A3 SMP WUs around 12 hours ago. My SR-2 started getting A3 SMP WUs around 5 hours ago. My Sig Rig is still crunching a Big Adv, but it takes it a while since it is also powering 3x GTX285's. So is there a Big Adv shortage?

My wife walked into our local ace hardware store and told me to research these. These are red tagged on sale thru the end of the month. Our store was sold out, but can order them for us. Gorilla Rack® 34W x 14D x 72H 5 Shelf Shelving Unit These are steel frame & mdf shelves. Shelves are...

I know I'm not the only one that has done this. I have 3x GTX285's that run GPU2. I have the screen extended to the other 2. IE is on the second or third (can't actually tell). How do I get it to come back to the first (primary) monitor. I figured I'd ask here first since this is what we...

Looking to do an upgrade of my sig rig. Currently running a TT 1200W Modular. i7 920 @ 3.9 and 3x GTX285. All of this under WC. Am looking to upgrade to: eVGA SR-2 w/2x X5650 (shooting for 4+ GHz) 2x GTX580 in SLI and obviously OC'd (this is [H] afterall) The TT I currently have I think...

I was just looking and there are a few new names on the EOC Top 20 PpD for our team. It'll take 103k PpD just to enter this group. Way To Fold [H]orde!!!

I just installed Win7 in my sig rig. Moved my steamapps folder so I can plan MW2 on this rig. Temps are as they were in Vista (45c) @ 760/1742(linked)/1385. 3xGTX285 in Tri-SLI. Using 260.99 nVidia Drivers (fresh install since I just installed the OS). Precision is saying I am getting...

eVGA GTX285 (old newegg link as there isn't a current eVGA link) This item has never been OC'd and is in great condition. Depending on the OC, it is capable of between 10K (even with the P10111's) and 14K (450 pt GPU2 WUs). Definitely a good gaming card as well as folder. Pictures...

I am in information overload trying to read thru all of the threads and various recommendations. My wife has asked me what I want for my birthdy (later this month). I've given her my other wish list items, but would also like to consider an nVidia Surround setup. TN Panel is ok. I can live...

Looking here before I pull the trigger at Newegg I need 6x1GB DDR3-1600 I know some of you bought some and want to trade up to 6x2GB for your SR2s :D Send PM with offer. I will pull the trigger on my newegg basket on Monday so this will end on Monday.

Well now that I have realized I have lost the top 20 spot (and am barely in the top 40), I have decided to pull the trigger on an SR2. I've found a pair of L5640's and figured out what HSF (Noctua NH-D14) I am going to use. I'm using other Noctua products and have been very impressed with...

As the title reads, where? I'm not finding any on e-bay. In a position to buy 2 (possibly 4) right now.

Asus VE228H I was looking for a 22" LCD and found this. 1080p in a 22" form factor. The Asus LCDs have been getting pretty good reviews of late. Google provided no info other than who sells them. Anyone with any info on this?

What is the best bang for the buck HSF for the SR2 given that two of them will need to be mounted. Assume I am going for high OC's in the 4+GHz range. Assume I am going with Westmere retail chips (at this point, it is likely to be the X5650). I may go one now and the second one in 4 weeks...

well according to logmein.com, my entire farm is down for the count. We've had more than a few thunderstorms go through the area and it doesn't look as if ANY of my boxen came up gracefully :( I am flying back to TX this afternoon from WA and I'll assess the damage at that time. I had 2 Big...

Staring at lassiterb's for sale thread. I've got two 9800GX2's left in my farm. Am curious about power usage between these two cards. The GTX460 seems to get a little better PpD and a lower power draw could pay for itself shortly thereafter. Thoughts?

So my new eVGA MoBo is here to replace my ASRock MoBo that up and died. Can I just replace the MoBo and plug everything in and then after it is up and running install the new eVGA drivers? I'm lazy (well, not really, but my day is busy enough to not allow me the time to do a complete...

Looking to get an Alienware M11x R2 this afternoon. I currently have an Asus G71V-Q1 (looking to go smaller). The Asus has dual HDD bays, but the M11x R2 has one. I will stick the 160GB Intel SSD in the M11x as the primary HDD. The second HDD in the Asus will go into an enclosure and will...

I had a HDD go bad on my second i7 rig yesterday :( I am going to try and look at it today, but with my traveling tomorrow and needing today to work to wrap up my other project, I won't have much time to really get into it. I hope it is a lose cable or something easy. I don't want to have...

For those of you who want a Norco Case for a boxen that can do more than just fold :D I bought it a year ago and it sat in the box. Gave it to a buddy who said he would use it. He didn't use it (nor take it out of the box) nor did he ever get around to paying me for it. So it is still in the...

I bought it a year ago and it sat in the box. Gave it to a buddy who said he would use it. He didn't use it (nor take it out of the box) nor did he ever get around to paying me for it. So it is still in the box that it was shipped to me. Newegg Link retails for $319.99 and $16.99 shipping...

Title says it all. When you shut down SMP2 WUs (including Big Adv), can you use -forceasm to force to not use standard loops?

Advanced Wireless 150w Auto Adapter w/ Airplane Adapter - DW-MIN-AA-150-CL Don't know if this is any good or not as there are no reviews and can't find anything via google, but for $15 and FS, it is worth a try. I travel for work 80% and this is small enough to carry around.

I just picked this up on my Q6600 @ 3.2 I've not seen this one before, but HFM.net has it at base of 462 points, but total credit of 73,106 POINTS!!! This is obviously even bigger than the Big Adv WUs considering it is running on a C2Q. I'm not entirely sure where it is getting the credit...

I have a VM that I have been using for Big Adv for many months. Prior to that, it was used specifically for Linux A2. Within a 3 hour period, the VM will be out of sync by 10 to 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure I've never had this issue before. This is currently an issue within my second i7 920...

I've got a box running the MSI K9A2 & an AMD 940BE. My wife is using the box now. It was used for folding for over a year and a half so not new, but not that old either. She has recently started having issues with the USB Ports (both on the MoBo and thru the case). Currently attached...

According to FF, the SMP2 Servers are down and basically all of my SMP2 clients are at a stand still. What is everyone running to get work? Or are you just waiting it out?
