I haven't been to the forum in a while, so this was a nice surprise! Thanks guys! I started folding for the [H] back in 2004 as a way to test my brand new Pentium 4 overclock stability - Man we have come a long way! I've had big herds and small over the years, but this is by far the most epic...

Yeah I know, the GPU meter only fills 80-85% which is a little painful... But with stock clocks and the reduced load they are running uncomfortably warm. Don't want to push it until I figure out the thermals. Part of the issue is the Dell T7500 motherboard design, it was made for standard...

I have had 2x EVGA GTX 1080 (founder) folding since the beginning of this month. Each puts out about 500k PPD, which is about the same as 2x 970s, except they use less power than one 970 - about 110w VS 130w. At the moment anyway, 2x 970 + 2x 1080 = 1.5M PPD / 500w (total) BTW These are in two...

Back when Xoxide was selling these, I bought a few to do LED mods with. With this particular PS/2 model (and probably others) the lights are controlled by the computer so they are affected by other keyboards as well. The controller board works without the keys just fine.

I built a test machine to see what a $100 4850 would do, total cost $380. It won't run a CPU client and a GPU client at the same time, and even with the GPU alone it VPU recover crashes every 1.5 WUs. Very annoying, but considering the cost and that is is self-tapping screwed to a piece of sheet...

4850 @ 3200 ppd 30

So anyway. Parts for the 4x 275 machine have been ordered. The parts for a $280 ATI test machine (ordered before I started this thread) came in yesterday, got that setup and folding pretty easily. The first thing I noticed is ATI card gets pretty hot, but with the catalyst control center I...

I bought the copper because it was shiny. In all seriousness, I'll never forget my cu Volcano 7+ that took a 2.4 P4 (in the blue case, above) to a stable 3.98 at 6200 glorious RPM. Maybe there's tests that prove me wrong, but if I'm dinking with oc I want cu. EDIT: Oh man, this is bringing...

DOH! ty. Just picked up TRUE copper from Xoxide, rest will be from newegg on Monday. It's shiny :D

The 9800gx2's on ebay are the same price as the 275's on newegg, less the whole warranty thing. I'm looking for a repeatable design that I can pitch to my company, so the parts need to be available in the future. Yeah, I tend to agree with that. Especially with consumer-grade products that...

I really appreciate everyone's suggestions. Starting from scratch: 1 MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail (thanks sirmonkey1985) 1 AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ955FBGIBOX - Retail (@sirmonkey1985, fold...

By a while, I mean 2005. This was what the rotron came out of... cardboard vapor cooling ;) EDIT: Rotron in action... The ghetto grill is there because at 3200 RPM it will take your finger clean off.

Thanks y'all, That's why I love you guys. Vaulter98c if you're board I'm all ears, I've been out of the loop for way too long for this stuff. The MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail and four EVGA 896-P3-1170-AR GeForce GTX 275 896MB 448-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16...

Is it worth trying to air cool four 275/285's in one box? That sounds (to me, it's been a while) next to impossible without WC, which is not ideal for headless boxen...

How do we beat these guys? I've got $1500 for [H]ardware... 4x 4850 machines?

Macs are for kids! ;)

Unfortunately all (modern, < 100v) flicker circuits use a pseudo random algorithm on a microcontroler to simulate flickering. This includes the store bought candles, look for a blob of black stuff on the PCB, there's a chip under it. If there is no chip - just a resistor- it's integrated into...

The contrast adjust is an input voltage between V+ (5v) and GND that tells the controller IC what the duty cycle on it's PWM output should be (on VFDs it was the grid voltage, it's function has been preserved since then). If left disconnected it may or may not display something onscreen, but it...

Ryobi is disposable crap. Craftsman aren't bad for 18-19.2. DeWalt still are the best. But the question was about rebuilding a battery pack. 1) The security torx screws are not a common size, it's like a T7 or something IIRC. 2) The batteries are sub-Cs, usually around $2 each (check here...

Good looks, thanks man - I had completely forgotten about the student discount, I'll absolutely check that out. The only other one that came close was the leveno; I'm just wary of stepping into what I've criticized so much in the past... I guess I could always paint it black :D Thats about...

Current laptop is a W3V and it's just about perfect for me. Two years is a long time for a computer though and it's getting outdated, so I'm starting to look for a new one. Asus retired the platform which sucks because it's hard to find a 14.1" with an aux battery these days.The requirements are...

I am putting my laptop up for sale my Asus laptop. I purchased it from Star Tech just about a year ago (1/18/06) for $2200. Tons of goodies like bluetooth 2.0, DVD w/o booting into windows, brushed aluminum top, SD card reader, SPDIF out... I had it customized with the following specs: CPU...

Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) as a Power4Gear alternative, finally a slick solution! My Asus W3V laptop is about a year old now, and I can confidently say it is one of the best computer purchases I have ever made. The only thing that I have been disappointed in is the Power4Gear utility...

We just got in the newest power spec 9800 into the store... http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0242605 Its selling for $3900 and there is no way you could build it for less. Its running the x6800 overclocked to 3.2 on the 975 intel mobo. 2x x1900's and 2x 150gb...

Yeah, I know it is worth 200-300 more then my asking price. The idea was to move it quickly and avoid having to put it on eBay. Guess it didn't work. Oh well.

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in my gaming machine (complete, I'm not trying to part it out here) as I am going to collage and don't have room at the apartment for 2 computers. This bad boy PCMark05's at 5064, 3DMark05 at 7196. Here are the specs Thermaltake Armor case...
