Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Yeah, bigadv is turned off for Linux ATM...has been now for probably almost 2 months, no idea on when it will be turned back on.
Awesome! Welcome back. Was thinking recently when you would make a comeback. As Zero mentioned, -bigadv has been removed from Linux for the time being. You can run it in Windows with the latest SMP client. Just add the -bigadv flag and configure the client for big packets. You should be good to go. 
Wow, once you get both boxes running, you'll likely hit the #1 PPD spot on the team!
Gasp...what specs??
Good grief. Please say they are similar to or exactly the same as the one thats giving you 77k per day. That little burst of ppd might be enough to hold off EVGA by itself for a couple weeks longer!

....Never seen that many thread "squares" in my life. [gasp]
[gasp]Haha! That is going to be sweet as I can't wait to see your numbers. As you know, we are all bunkering down and trying to hold off the other team as long as we can. Do you know if your rig is overclockable? If so, it would be sweet.
No, unfortunately blades don't have the ability to overclock. I wouldn't anyway as I don't want to have to explain why a $20K blade melted into a 150K chassis lol
My second box has been going for a while but the numbers are weak:
Blade 1: P2685 (R1, C15, G15) TPF 18:36 76774PPD
Blade 2: P2684 (R6, C20, G8) TPF 25:06 48975PPD
My second box has been going for a while but the numbers are weak:
Blade 1: P2685 (R1, C15, G15) TPF 18:36 76774PPD
Blade 2: P2684 (R6, C20, G8) TPF 25:06 48975PPD
I'm sure only half of that or less is being used for folding. My 24-core box only shows something like 1.5GB of RAM for the FahCore_A3.exe Process.

You are fine. P2684's are terrible compared to the other P268x's out there. 49K ppd is a very nice number for them.

Welcome back! We def need the huge PPD increases all you "big guns" have been able to throw up recently..It almost makes me cry to struggle to get 18~20K PPD out of one box...

Ahh, I didn't realize you were running blades. That is still sweet as all of us dream of being about to borg something like that. How do you keep something like that cooled down within the space constraints?

That is the beauty of this team as we have the big heavy hitters up in the top spots, and there are those like us who work with what we have and give it all we have. When I first started, the folks here helped me out even though I was originally only making about 400 ppd running the classic uniprocessor client on my laptop. They help everyone out no matter how much production your rig makes. That's why i'm proud to be part of this team as we all do it for the right reasons.
I had some issues getting the drivers installed on the w2k3 box yesterday, trying the IBM UpdateXpress on the w2k8 box and I'm hoping that it'll work and the drivers/firmware will increase performance.

Holy s***, that is impressive - any chance of getting the lot to fold for a week??? That should keep evga off our backs for years!!

I agree the Team Spirit here is much better then my old Team (anandtech), and that is why I switched over..I had accumulated over 170K points using the classic client back then
..It took forever lol...When am I going to see that 980X break 4Ghz? If your worried about cooling I am going to an internal WC setup and my Koolance Exos would work great on it

That 980x is currently at the hospital. I have a blown motherboard according to Micro Center. My last 3 builds have all used Gigabyte motherboards, so this makes me a bit uneasy as I love Gigabyte and hope this is just an outlier. While they were running memory diagnostics, they said the ram slot shorted out and blew out all 3 ram modules. It is still under their 30 day warranty so they have replaced everything for me free of charge.
I am an air cooling type of person and just don't want to risk water cooling. I may consider the Corsair H70 when it comes out, but only because it is maintenance free. I just don't believe liquids should be present near computer hardware. I am a wuss.
I don't think you are for being leery of WC. I too avoid WC but mostly because of the complexity. When you run dual-processor systems exclusively like I do, WC can get very complex and very expensive. For a small amount of additional clock frequency that most standard dual CPU systems will alow the owner, it just doesn't seem reasonable to me. I get my money's worth with decent HSFs and the other mods I perform for increased cooling efficiency.
