I recently shut down my small mining operation and am offloading the rest of my equipment. All cards have been in my basement mining for the last year or so. None have been O/C with the exception of the 6970, (which I ran in my main rig for a long time). None of the cards have ever been over 70C...
I realize folding@home isn't the most popular topic these days, but I noticed my SuperMicro H8QME-2 stopped pulling BigAdv units a few days ago so I assume F@h upped the requirements like they said they would. I'm currently running 8389 Quads in it and I'm wondering if its worth it to upgrade to...

Anyone see this yet? Be pretty cool if they actually bring it to the market. Checking the site out I don't see any "Visa" or "Mastercard" logos anywhere yet, so I'm guessing its still in the planning stages, but it would be nice if it came to be. Just one...
So I get home last night and see the rig I just built down. Go down the basement and the hard drive has died. This rig I built the day before using 3x XFX 270 cards along with a 6970 and 7870 cards. So I grab a new hard drive, image it and throw it back in the system, then fire it up and load...
So this week was simply awesome on the mining front. Tuesday I got some cheap ass risers from Amazon and one of them fried one of my boards, then last night another board went down, so now I have 7 cards doing absolutely nothing but collecting dust and 5 more cards coming this week.
I'm an...
I know this was posted here a few months ago, but Performance PC's still has a shitload of power supply's on clearance.
Just picked up another 1200W for a mining rig for $140. Some Antec, Silverstone and CoolerMaster stuff left as well.
I started LTC and altcoin mining a few months ago and my small farm has gradually grown to 4 rigs with 14 cards as well as cramming cards in my home server and HTPC. I have spent very few dollars out of my pocket, mostly selling and trading some coins here and there to finance my small...
Didn't check all the prices, but the few I saw weren't bad.
Here.
One thing to keep in mind, EVGA limits their warranty to 1 year with all their backstock cards. Something to think about when buying one, but I've dealt with EVGA RMA's process before and they are stellar as far as I'm...
Anyone have a ballpark on PPD for this chip w/mild O/C on it? From what I've read its between 10k and 50k so I would guess its between 15 and 25k PPD. I know its nearly a complete waste of time/power to fold on single cpu systems now, but it will be on all day in my file server anyway and my...
I'm in my 2nd year of collage working on my degree in IT/Network Administration/Network Security. Last week I started an IT Internship at a local nonprofit healthcare business, helping them deploy about 100 new desktops and 20 or so new laptops.
In short, I found myself In the middle of a...

Don't care what brand.
Looking to extend the life of my old Q9550 and DFI Lanparty Motherboard as a folding rig. I need some faster memory to push beyond 500Mhz FSB. I can buy some PC8500 for about...
Use this code: 4TQQB01I8PXYNIJ
Apply's to these cards.
With some EVGA bucks I had I just picked up a GTX 770 FTW for $225, I'll probably get screwed when they drop the prices in a couple weeks due to AMD releasing their new cards, but my old 6970 was getting a bit long in the tooth.
So I seem to get these massive projects every other day or so....my poor 2600k is struggling through a 10127 now...and has been for like freeking 14 hours. WTF is up with this? I am doing good with 24-28k ppd, then every other day or so they throw one of these at me and it takes like freeking 20...
So at Christmas time I spotted some Gskill Ripjaws Memory on sale at Newegg for like $37 or something. I knew within the next month I'd be building a new SB system, so I grabbed 4-2gb sticks for less then $80. The first of February I got around to building my 2600k system, as it turned out, 2 of...
Thanks to your guide I was able to get my second rig up and running Ubuntu last night and folding. It was much less painful then I though it would be. Since I'm a total linux newbie, I did have couple problems, but nothing I couldn't figure out on my own with the help of your guide. Next step is...
I built my 2600K machine last week and last night I finally got around to seeing what it could do. Since I put it together, I haven't had time to properly play with the O/C. I just set it on "auto" overclock @4.4Ghz and it ran like a top. Last night I got her up to 5.0Ghz, (with very high...
So this week I finally took the plunge and started folding for [H]. Thanks to the post on the front page it was much easier to start up then I thought it would be, seeing is how I know absolutely NOTHING about folding and programming. I do have a few questions for you guys that are running...
So i decided to pull the trigger and upgrade my system this year. I told my wife I'd use our tax refund to do it. Thinking I had plenty of headroom and a couple grand at least, I started shopping around a few weeks ago for components. I actually started picking up some things here and there...
Title says it, I started a new build last week, 2500k w/Z68 Asrock board. This will primarily be a gaming system, with (1) 1920x1080p 24" Monitor. My build budget is $300 for the graphics card. I don't need nor want a $5-600 card, when $300 will work fine. The way I look at it I have 2 choices...
So, upgrading to a new SB this week, I noticed newegg has (2) i-7 2600s listed.

I've been online gaming for the better part of the last 10 years. When I look back at all the money I've spent on video cards alone, it would probably fill a nice size swimming pool!
