It has been a long while since looking into mid to high end air cooling and I need opinions and options. I'm hoping to get a Ryzen 5900x or at least settle for a 5800x before too long and will need a good heatsink for said CPU. The size and performance of modern air coolers is an issue I'm...

It appears my trusty 8800GT finally died today. Went to watch some movies on the computer earlier today and my system locked up. After a restart I tried it again and the system locked up again with some nasty green crap all over the screen. I restarted the system again and Windows acted as if...

As the thread title says, I had hoped to never have to post this. I was down visiting my family today and to drop some stuff off when my mom gave me the news. On Monday my dad got the call from the doctor stating he has cancer, prostate cancer if I remember correctly. As of right now, we don't...

Well, I have installed the 64 bit Windows 7 beta 7000 to see what all the hubbub is about. Just for reference, it's installed on the rig in the sig. After the installation I installed the newest 181.20 Vista64 nVidia drivers for my 8800GT. After a bit more mucking around with the OS and a couple...

At this moment I have an AMD X2 system sitting here doing nothing more than monitoring a couple of things and running a distributed computing project. The system specs are nothing spectacular: X2 [email protected], 1 gig of RAM, a few hard drives totaling about 640 gig (mostly empty for the most...

It seems some new A2 core work units for Linux have been released. Currently running 2 of the 4433s worth 893 points each and I do not like them at all. They are running on 2 cores of a [email protected] and only doing between 1700 and 1900 PPD. From the look of things, they aren't optimized very well...

After the way some members of this team have acted towards other members of this team during the chimp challenge, I have decided to have all my systems pulled from the challenge by this evening when I get home from work. The only reason I'm calling attention to this is basically to protest...

Well, it seems Spring is finally here for me. It's been in the upper 70s and low 80s the last few days now. Unfortunately, this seems to have affected my ability to fold a bit. For the moment, all my quads are running just fine even if around 65C for temps. However, it seems my X2 is a...

Pretty simple question for the most part. I created a poll like this a while back but figured it was time for another one since it's been at least a couple years since the last one. So why did you join the [H]orde? Pick your choices from the poll and expand on them here. I'd like to hear your...

I know some of you have seen me recently pop up on your radar for threats. The addition of a [email protected] has been the cause of that. However, now you have a real reason to worry (at least some of you). I now have my second Q6600 in. I'm doing some overclock and stress tests on it and it should...

Tonight/this morning I pulled the trigger on a new system. Q6600 with 4 gig of RAM. The only unfortunate thing about this will be that it's also my main system which means not 100% folding all the time. However, my current main system of [email protected] isn't doing too shabby and once the quad is up...

Okay, I've been using compiz-fusion for a while now and I've had the same little annoying problem the whole time. I've gotten to the point where I'm not going to use it until I can figure out the problem/setting/error or whatever it is. I like messing with it but this one little problem is just...

I'm just a bit curious as to who is around and in what capacity. It's been a bit dead in here for a while and I'm wondering if it's just lurking or what. Chime in if you would.

Okay, I know with the Windows console client you can set the % of the CPU the console can use. I used to use this all the time with my P4 w/ hyperthreading. I would run one client with regular units at 100% and a second client running timeless at around 15% so it wouldn't interfere with the...

Myself and Bill were having a discussion about trying this. Does anyone here have a Linux quad SMP machine that is not a production machine and would want to do a little test for us? Since we know the SMP client does not scale 100% with twice as many cores (dual to quad) we were wondering...

I just finished a 600 pointer earlier today and sent it back. While checking my stats it seems I was only credited for 500 of the points. I also finished a 364 pointer today and was only credited with 292 points. Has anyone else seen this happening or know of any announcement about WU's...

Just out of curiosity, is anyone running any of these proteins? I'm currently crunching one of these. It's a Gromacs core that's worth 542 points and I'm currently getting about 250 PPD out of it on a 3.2 Ghz C2D. It doesn't sound like a crappy PPD overall, although I just got the C2D and I'm...

Well, I finally spent the money on an upgrade to dual core and I should be moving up in the ranks a little bit again. At least I should stop dropping like a rock. I will have to say these Core2Duos are very nice. I snagged an E6400 and a Gigabyte DS3 board and so far seem to be sitting at 3.2...

As indicated in this thread would you like me to work on setting up a way to have a Battle Royale Gauntlet system? If you think you would like a system setup like this, I would appreciate suggestions on what you would like to see in it.

This is a poll.. I think the thread title is self explanatory so have at it.

http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1025694770&postcount=13 This was FLECOM's point total just under two years ago. Now look where he's at. It's also interesting to take a gander at some of the other older posts in the thread. Don't see much if anything out of some of them anymore...

Hope you didn't eat too much of my dust there. ;)

This is pretty simple. What are the reasons you decided to join the [H]orde for folding and have continued to do so? This is mostly just because I am curious as to the reasons why others fold for the [H]orde and what drew you in here. Please be honest and select all that apply. If you...

For those of you with GenMay subscriptions (which seems to be many of you) there is now a poll open there to see if we can get Iron Nutz and Mary new titles. So head in there and give your vote. If you don't have a subscription, then get one and vote. :p

I've got an old dually motherboard here with PII 266's on it at the moment. I was looking to possibly upgrade the CPUs a bit but was wondering if anyone has had any experience in running the older Celeron A's on it. Tyan Tiger 2 model S1692DL http://www.tyan.com/products/html/tiger2atx.html...

Since the last thread just had a poll for ages and we weren't able to get the actual ages of people to figure out the average, how about we try that. And yes, I know that the last thread was a lot of fun but let's try to keep this on topic so as not to get locked. I would still like to see...

I hate to say it but it seems I'm down three boxen for now. I was over at my friend's house where my systems were located at doing a couple things last night when all of a sudden the power to the whole house went down. I went outside to say something to my friend and he went to the basement...

Just got to my friend's house where my computers are and checked out EMIII like I usually do first thing. I saw the frame progress bar going nuts on a WU, P591_BBA5_pf. I thought it was some kind of mistake since it wasn't even taking but 20 seconds or so to finish a frame. After it went through...

I did some searches but could not find what I was looking for. I am going to install a new mobo & CPU in my system and I currently don't have a lot of time to do a full format and reinstall right now. I remember someone mentioning a program built into Windows that will essentially erase the...

I may be selling my A7N8x-Deluxe rev 1.0x and XP2400+ @2300 to a friend soon. The deal has actually been in the works for a few months now but nothing has gone through on his end to get some money. I was originally going to get a DFI nForce II LanParty B and mobile Barton and try to overclock...

I'm just getting my EXOS up and running and I'm wondering how much water it should hold when first filling it up. In the manual, it says you may need to add some distilled water because what they provide may not be enough. For reference, I'm only cooling the CPU right now so you get an idea...
