I remember a picture of a cup in a glide-out device of some kind, on the front of a PC, by an exasperated tech whose client had problems with a stuck "cup holder". Perhaps this is to power one of those hi-speed USB coffee warmers! :) Bruce

Here's mine, Primes95 at 3.6GHz, mixed FFTs: CPU0 55,54,54,54,59,56 CPU1 56,64,53,56,54,60 From what I remember of the discussion I guess I'm about at median. Cool! (I can't believe my keybard wrote that.. :rolleyes:) B.

Hi Stroker! OK, that will be where the NH D-14 goes, I may only need one. The 212 EVOs have done a great job except for the one core, and that CPU has a fan underneath it too... Go figure. The machine will run Primes small FFT torture for days on end, zero errors and warnings. But it gets...

I need to find the discussion on CPU numbering vs. actual motherboard location. I'm going to upgrade/swap coolers to see if I can get the one hot core to behave, and don't know whether it is o or 1, and I seem to remembe the reported hot one is not the marked on on the mobo. Help...

That's why I gave a point range instead of one PPD rate to imply the variance due to WUs. This is one third of regular production, not small variance. These several are all ordinary like 6097, don't remember more. Did several hundred before trying the VMUbuntu for -bigadv. Bruce

I just finished two -bigadv units at full rate, in the Ubuntu VMBox, inside Windoze 7 x 64. I have company and cannot run 24/7 so must stop that, with its wonderful point total of 415K every 3and 3/4 days. That and my electric bill, --but we at Kitguru made it to the sub 200 rank. So I go back...

Stroker, This definitely needs looking into. Now I'm going to be in over my head again! Now I have to put the darn box into Ubuntu. The only way I like running Ubuntu is from its own drive as a bios boot selection upon starting computer. I load both O.S.s on their own drive with the other...

Are the Linux folding times similar? Now that I have done the reverse of your VM, I thought about that, but the VMBox, at least the Oracle, is slow and small, and in the past, I've not been able to get all the programs into native Ubuntu. Whether Kompozer, Gimp, and some others are usable...

It's running in an Oracle VMBox. I need too many of my everyday Windoze programs to go native Linux. I'd be shutting down too often. I loaded Ubuntu11.01 which offered to self-update to 11.10, to which I said, "why not?", and so it was done.

Got a 6904, and it took about 3-2/3 days to complete, it slows when I use the computer for normal work, even doing e-mail, browsing, watching a YouTube vid or whatever. The frame rate when undisturbed is about 51m30s. FahMon showed swings from 112K PPD to 117K, total points given, was about...

Zat a 402 Chivvy SB? :) Thanks for the guidance guys, I have just loaded core a5 and started on a 6904. I think that is the object of my search. Now to get a monitor on this new VM. Using Teamviewer to re-install VMBox twice is such a cumbersome process, I lost track and forgot to set...

Thanks for the help, I'll see what I can learn at Oracle, probably a forum there on the 'setup', and with luck a folder there. Bruce

Apparently, I only have CPU 0. It got the speed as 3300 instead of 3600. Bruce

This is embarrassing! :o How do I find that readout? My Ubuntu experience so far is little more than copying instructions from the folks who understand what they are doing. Bruce

W.Feather, Any who might help me to "have a clue", feel free to step in. ****** I now have Ubuntu 11.10 running nicely in a VMBox, (Oracle), and the client download went fine, but when I tried to run -configonly it shut me down and said I had less than 2 CPUs and should run standard...

Yea! That would be a week and a half ago, or in other words; coming up Real Soon Now! ;) :) :) I just have to give it a shot, I'll set up a temp machine for everyday uses, and let the SR2 fold Linux. I also just noticed another reply, on a VM solution to my issues. Thanks to all you...

No wonder! I have folded Linux on my old quad, but gave it up because I could never get NV GPUs to fold with SMP; Wine is my friend beside the keyboard --- but not in my Ubuntu. I need the machine for other things, and Windows must run for many of my regular ops. With my 24 thread...

No, Win7x64. Is Linux required? My passkey is working, 24/7 folding nets about 75-85K PPD according the the [H] -Stats page with most of my past WUs. They complete in about 2.5-4 hours. TPF from 1m15s all the way up to 3m45s for the 6097 it's working on now, which is an 8hr. project. Most...

I'm going to show my ignorance here, but how do you get the -bigadv units, (Win7x64). I have used the console properly flagged, and Tracker with the check in the proper box. Both show 24x24 cores in the logs and both show 24GB RAM available. Completed almost 200 WUs and still no -bigadv...

Temps of the eight that Tthrottle shows me, as I write this: 54.5,61.7, 51.7, 56, 53.5, 58.7,51, 48.7C. FYI it takes 3 or 4 seconds to drop to approx 30C average when I stop folding SMP. This is with no GPU in action, that definitely slows the cooling off process! For comparison, in the...

All of the frustrations and foul language are still in store for the future! :eek: :) As I go higher on the BCLK, and begin to fight the voltages and temps, it will soon be more challenging, guaranteed. I'm familiar with only ASUS's multiple BIOS on the fly capability. I have yet to decide...

I was concerned because the pattern of the insulators did not match and I didn't want the voltage or polarity to be wrong and fry some expensive CPUs. If you'll allow a cheap graphic, (where brackets = the square ones, (my closeup camera is several miles away): Talked to Corsair...

My PSU arrived today, a Corsair 1200... (Oops! :eek: The 1250 was another brand.) [B]Edited to add; Apparently Corsair doesn't supply the ATX/8 power cables with the exact molding on each pin's insulator, I don't have the voltage assignments in the mobo manual for the ATX/8 pins, just...

I had noticed a perforation there, possibly for an 80mm to ventilate that side of the case. The Azza Hurrican 2000, (loved it), comes with a special thin fan there. Might take some baffling to even the air removal for both CPUs on the Rosewill, might well be worth a little effort. The idea of...

Hi guys. Since you all occasionally delve into the mundane nuts and bolts ideas, I thought I would ask something about thermal dissipation and CPU backplates. I had seen the big heavy ones on the back of this Supermicro I'm trying to sell, (went for SR2 once I found out what it's all...

In a very quick glance through, I've already learned so many things to keep me from having to shoot myself, I usually drive myself to the brink assuming I'm doing something WRONG, when the facts are that a bit of knowledge can be so very useful. On my folding forum (KitGuruFolders!), we have a...
