you still sitting on that 790i stuff.

i run folding@home from time to time. as for tying up your resources i run it occasionally on a 3ghz c2d dell machine and i'm still able to use the internet and other stuff.

for a reference my radeon 6850 is putting out 3-4 work units a day with no real impact on my daily performance even when playing an MMO. My processor, phenom II x4 965 at stock 3.4ghz is putting out 1-2 work units a day.

Pat, there is no way to have completed units count for multiple teams, but you could both switch over to the bnet team lol

2 computers....

Both are Quad socket AMD's with Magny Cours chips.

1. Supermicro mobo, 32gb ram, 4x6176's
2. Tyan mobo, 16gb ram, 4x6174's
-best part is they only pull about 550w from the wall at 100%, or about the same as someone's dual gpu folding rig.
-Big chunk of the point gain is due to the speed they crunch the large work units and gain so much with the bonus points, -bigbeta or -bigadv are the flags used by fah but I beleive 16core minimum is required now.

I recently learned how to overclock my computer

ASUS G72gx gaming laptop.
nVidia GTX 260m OC'ed to 1 GHz.
Replaced the P8900 2.53 GHz with the Intel xTreme X9100 unlocked 3.1GHz and overclocked it to 3.9 GHz. I would go to 4.1GHz but it keeps crashing above 4.0. :deadhorse:
The peek CPU temps are about 112'c if I disable the thing that lowers CPU speed with max temp. But I have that on so my max temps are always 105'c under max load. and it maintains a speed of about 3.3 to 3.4 GHz like that, I have it set to 3.9 GHz because I like the extra Boost before the temps go up. :burn:
I did not know that we had this Folding @ home. I am now adding this to my laptop and run it every so often.

105*c are you nuts?

That is way too hot.

Agreed. Maybe he meant 105F? 105c is like 220F. Way too hot. Most CPUs shut down between 55-70c.

Not true... I've run my other CPU up to 80's but it was an air cooled E8400 so it wasn't well chilled... but typical CPU load temps will reach 70-75*c for a heavy OC.

and 105F on a OC'd cpu... I highly doubt as well, that would be 40*c and my CPU idles at 23*c on water.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking last night. I meant 75-90. But some systems have the ability to throttle clock or otherwise shut down the system if it reaches a set thermal limit in the BIOS. I set many of the ones I built at 50 or 60c depending on what its running, just to help keep someone from having a CPU failure. Never had one actually overheat like that though.

Anyways.
