Join the SatelliteGuys Folding@Home Team!

[Voyager6]

Thanks for the congrats. We are making up some ground now. 3 days to overtake Miss. State and 3 weeks to conquer the AVS Forum.:up

 

[Scorpion.sting]

Congrats Voyager6 on your 1 Million point milestone. Welcome to the club :clap

 

[Foxbat]

Yea, Voyager6! Another Millionaire is always a good thing!!! :clap

 

[Plazzman]

Looks like we are having Mississippi State for Friday the 13th breakfast!!!!

Way to fold guys...!!! Fold on... :up

 

[Scorpion.sting]

This is a team 1st. 2 members averaging at least 20,000 ppd. Great job Plazzman:up

 

[Plazzman]

Thanks for the thumbs up Scorp!!! I do have quite the outdated farm trying to keep up with you. Hopefully in a few weeks or so I can build a real folding machine that might help the chase.. My farm facts follow, don't be to harsh I realize most of them are extremely outdated.... Fold On !!!!

This is cool because I just ordered my new Raidmax case from newegg. I to feel the need to upgrade a little. The best thing about it is that as a team we will be hitting the 150,000 ppd soon. Lets hope

...and in the meantime, I keep on getting these WUs on my Macs that use the old FAHCore_A1 SMP Core which leave my CPUs about 35% idle. I'm down to under 8K ppd. What's really sad is I'm still #3 in daily production, so others must be experiencing the same thing.

Even my GPU2 boxes are feeling the pinch, although my old Athlon 2.33 GHz box has a WU that it likes. I'm seeing 89+ pph on P5741,R4,C27,G171 which out-does my Mac Pro's current 85 ppd on P3064!

Hopefully the WU gods will smile on my mini-farm.

Scorpion.Sting good deal on the new case. Let us know if that new case has a lot of room. Last year I purchased an Antec Nine Hundred Gaming Case and with the Nvidia 980gtx+ cards there is not enough room for the drives. It also doesn't have enough room if I decided to add the third card..

Foxbat I feel your pain as my GPU's have still been getting the 5903 WU's which seems to add up to about the same score daily as the smaller units but they sure take longer. I'm sure I'm not getting the 15000 PPD that it seems it would..

Congrats GNASH Way to look alive!! :up

Look's like we might move one or two slots this week Congrats all!!!!

Fold On all..!!!!

you guys getting any of these 590x wu's on your gpu? i have not had one finish, they fail immediately ?

Yes I have been getting 5903 series and they take forever but they do finish.

I've been getting the 5904 wu regularly and it runs about 6 to 6.5 minutes per frame on my XP box with a 1GB 9800GT.

I'm getting closer to building my folding machine. I'm looking at a quad core with 4 nvidia cards now. Hopefully that will push some decent ppd.

 

[Voyager6]

Hi guys. Back from vacation and will be folding at full speed again. Someone shut down one of the folding machines (and forgot to restart the FAH GPU client ) while I was gone. We've had a great folding week even without my other machine. Averaging about 110K ppd. Looks like we can overtake the AVS Forum this week.

Sounds great 8bitbytes. Did you rob a bank ? 4 video cards at one time Outstanding!!!!

 

[Scorpion.sting]

I received my new Raidmax case today. This thing is the best case I have ever had. Will let everyone know what I put in it. Will take some time as funds allow.

Go team :up

What motherboard would you get to accommodate 4 video cards?

 

[Foxbat]

What motherboard would you get to accommodate 4 video cards?

All the ones I've seen with that many PCI Express slots have usually limited the number of lanes from 16 to 8 when all four slots are in use. There is an Intel MB for $600 at NewEgg that has 4xPCI Express x16, but that's probably overkill.

 

[8bitbytes]

What motherboard would you get to accommodate 4 video cards?

There are a few AMD boards that will support 4 PCi-E cards. If you follow the folding forum discussions, you only need 4x to get the ppd most cards are capable of delivering. The real trick is getting a hefty PSU!

The 185 nvidia drivers at guru3d combined with Vista Ultimate 64 bit seems to be delivering double the performance of any other combination right now.

However, I did find an Intel board that gives 3 16x PCi-E slots so I have that on my list currently as I finish reviewing this build before I pull the trigger.

 

[Voyager6]

Got production back up to 7K yesterday. Should be near 9K today. 3 more days to overtake the AVSForum.
