If you're on windows, you can set the manual fan speed with MSI Afterburner. If you're on linux, you can use this script from github after you enable coolbits. I'm not sure about OS X fan speed control.

I agree, I keep getting 30k point WUs that take 3 minutes (TPF) instead of 100k point WUs that take around 6 minutes (TPF).

I thought bigadv was discontinued since January 31, 2015? I tried running F@H v6.34 recently and I kept getting messages (no work unit) from the server. -_- Note: Please read the license agreement (fah6 -license). Further use of this software requires that you have read and accepted this...

I didn't mean 1 million PPD per day, so I guess I should have said points overall. :( Why do you think some of my work units failed to submit (I hope its not related to the confusion with the overall points I have)?

I broke 1 million PPD and I'm barely catching up with the serious folders (top 20).

It depends on the dimensions of your power supply units. I live in the US and we have many homes with 10A or 15A sockets (120v).

If you're lucky with a 240v socket, 120v sockets are more common in homes. You can hook 2 1.5kW power supplies to a motherboard if you only have 120v sockets (15A). However, the 2 PSUs probably won't fit in that case as suggested by ChristianVirtual.

This is probably true for many laptops with window 7 or 8, since not all laptops have drivers for Windows 10 at this point.

You're probably looking for the x16 riser with Molex power cable. The molex is necessary if you're going with 4+ GPUs, which allow the GPU to directly draw power from the power supply. If you're serious about putting all that stuff in a case, you'd need a Corsair 900D (or a seriously big case)...

Investing in several 750Ti GPUs might not be the best idea once nvidia refreshes their GPU products later. You also need a case to hold those GPUs, it can get quiet messy with all the wires dangling.

If you had your own web server hosted at another location, that can work too. But imgur does the job just fine, although links can break after a long time.

I don't recall Windows 10 as a required update for Windows 7. The worst scenario is to backup your files and do a fresh install of Windows 7.

I got 414 PPD (I can't check how many PPDs I got for each WUs) for submitting 2 Core_A4 WUs in around 40 minutes (I used a different computer :P). Update: I got my first 10 WUs done, seems like the CPU WUs did the job Grandpa!

I can already imagine PPD deflation within the next few months. :( Thanks for the greeting! The more, the merrier! Anyone got any estimates for completing a work unit for Core_A4?

LOL, those fans sure are loud. I don't think I can drastically improve the air flow in my desktop. The thing is I want my CPU to last me for a while, so I've held off overclocking. Also, I've tried running fah6 on linux and I got :(no response:( from the server. I really liked my console...

My room is cool enough to fold with my GPU at around 65C ;). My next WU should finish by the end of this hour.

Thanks for the warm welcome, even though I've been lurking :rolleyes: far longer than I have created an account on this forum. I probably can't get my CPU to fold well because my CPU gets real toasty at around 70C on stock clocks (3.5 GHz). I did prior research about the limits of my 6 core...

As many others in this thread have said, The C Programming Language by K+R is a really good book for writing in C. As for a book about C library functions, you could consider The Standard C Library.

I started folding with a GTX 780Ti (stock clocks). My first WU got pushed a few hours ago (13.5k PPD). I guess there aren't any bonus PPD points for the first few WUs, it took around 10 hours to fold with Core_18. I've folded under other names before, but we'll see how much I can contribute...

Thank you for informing us of this unfortunate news. Your family has my condolences for your loss

There was someone who had a similar issue. It wasn't really resolved (here), seems like the motherboard does its own thing regardless of its user. Did you increase the iGPU size in the BIOS? In another Gigabyte mobo (GA-Z77X-UP7), you could specify size of iGPU or no iGPU (discrete GPU).

I suppose more information of the computer build would help (like RAM size, etc) troubleshoot this problem.

Unigine Heaven is a pretty good benchmark. If OCing or have a heat dissipation problem, watch out for VRAM temperatures (VRAMs can get real toasty) because those temperatures are different from GPU core temps.

There is a specific model of the 7970 made by MSI, it has 4 miniDP + 2DVI. It is on Newegg for $480 (MASTERPASS promocode might lower to $450 first and then rebate to $430 here) and there exists a Hard|OCP review (here).

If you want to game on a UHD screen, might as well look for a the top tier GPU of the respective generation. The 6990/7990 both have 4 miniDP ports, although there's no support for more than Quadfire (2x6990 or 2x7990). If you're using only the miniDP, 4 6990s/7990s can theoretically power 16...

Yes, crossfiring affects bitcoin mining (you lose a portion of your hashrate). Not sure about litecoins though.

Went around looking for 7850 horror stories, came across this post. Not sure if the 1GB version of the 7850 makes a difference in heat though.

Maybe if your system isn't well ventilated, all GPUs can overheat if they aren't cooled fast enough to dissipate heat.

The 7850 Radeon HD (~380-400kh/s) is $90 on Newegg at the moment.

That is quite interesting, I have crossfire bridges from different manufacturers such as XFX and Gigabyte. Is it possible that it might be a manufacturing difference?

Other resellers are showing 7950s as "Discontinued", not sure if newegg will restock.

For the AMD 6990 (not to be confused with 6990m), GPU-Z's "ASIC quality" failed to give a score or anything. I haven't found a need to OC it either, it handles most of the stuff I throw at it. 6990s run terribly hot on stock clocks (certain games), OCing....I don't want to deal with that heat.

There is a similar thread here (not on this forum), one of your drivers is probably the cause of the BSODs. It would really help if you put your dump files up online.
