I am almost satisfied, still a bit of hard drive noise from my 250Gb WD's but it's gotten better after I moved of my RAID running 4 hard drives down to 2 hard drives. Running 5 fans in total (including PSU fan) and the only time I can hear the fans is when temps of the CPU goes over 65*C (fans spin ...

Hehe yeah that is true, all black even the keyboard and mouse actually. Now I just need a black desk and then paint the walls black

Parts that I'm pretty sure about: Case: Antec P182 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 All nice parts, should make for a very nice machine. Parts that seem nice but I'm really just guessing here: PSU: Seasonic S12-380 HSF: Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme Seasonic PSU's are ...

Pics rearranged and temps for hard drives updated.

I'm not sure but I believe so, or at least that's what all information I have found on forums has said.

I DID IT! :lol: I finally made my machine silent enough at idle that I cannot hear it unless I really, really concentrate on it. I moved from 4x250Gb WD's to 2x250Gb WD's last night as the hard drives were too loud. They are still not totally silent but they get muffled by the case so I can barely h...

Yes, they are the same cooler (apparently). I read some site somewhere when doing my research of this cooler that it is the same cooler that is used on the XFX 7950GT.

Incidently, how did you wire up the Nexus at 7v? Is it safe for the PSU? I did the 7v fan trick , I am running 3 computers all having at least 1 fan running like this and I have not had any problems with it. So, I think it is safe for the PSU. I think the general census is that it is safe but you d...

UPDATE: Yesterday I finally received my new Voltage Regulator Heat Spreader Module (hmmm...silly name, but it explains what it does :P ) for my X1950 Pro's, who were experiencing VRM overheating before yesterday. Ran 3DMark 2006 and temps topped out at ~70*C (Nexus @ 7v) and a score of ~9000, so I a...

1) How is the noise from the 650W Seasonic? 2) How are the temps on your X1950's? 3) How do the X1950's perform in X-fire at 1920x1200? 4) Does Speedfan work with your mobo? 5) Are your HDD's really loud? 1. It's not too bad, I haven't yet heard it when sitting at the desk (I have to put my ear jus...

No comments at all?

Well, I've been using my new monitor for a day or so now and I must say that it is a pleasure using my computer now. Can fit so many windows at one time that it is much easier to multitask now. Although flipping the monitor to portrait made me dizzy...(may have been all the beer I had though).

Well I have been thinking of getting a 250Gb and a 500Gb Samsung to get rid of most noise...but a shortage of funds and being lazy I haven't come to doing it yet.

Hello all, Thought I'd share my, now, very quiet rig. Specs: Antec P180b - top blowhole covered with foam SeaSonic S12+ 650W Gigabyte DS3Pro with Thermalright HR-05 NB Cooler Intel E6400 with Thermalright Ultra-120 and Nexus fan @ 45-55% through Speedfan 4Gb Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4 Inno3D 8800GT 5...

I have fiddled around a bit with fan setup and found the below setup working fairly good. http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/7/29/1306638/P7300328.JPG Nexus @ 12v keeps GPU temp at 65*C (ambient 20*C) during one iteration of 3DMark 2006 without crashing, not the greatest result but heck, it's reasona...

Well, I've run some stress testing to see load temps after going passive. All tests were done by running 1 iteration of 3DMark 2006 (ambient temp around 18*C) Nexus @ 12v blowing straight onto the heatsink/VRMs: 45*C Nexus @ 12v seated in the front fan location of the P180B 61*C Nexus @ 7v seated in...

Let us know how the temps settle down. Well, I think I may be experiencing the lovely VRM overheating issue on my card as everytime I attempt to run the 3D mode in ATITool after about a minute the screen goes blank and I have to reboot my machine. :oops: It might be just me, but I cannot see your p...

Hello, I bought this model of the X1950 Pro because it was equipped with the AC Accelero 2, which according to most reviews I read was reasonably quiet. Now, I must have gotten two bad samples or something 'cause the cooler was the loudest parts in my computer. So after a lot of research and measuri...

Well it seems that it was just a one-off issue with my SMP client failing at 95% as I finished another one perfectly fine this morning.

So it's all good and the folding goes on and on

G'Day

I am running Windows, and yeah it is a beta so I'll keep folding and hopefully get some WU's completed. As I have seen others that have successfully done it.

Thanks.,

Hello,

Yes this OC is 24 hours Orthos stable, haven't had any stability issues at all, hovering around 55*C. My hard drives are healthy, have no issues with them and they pass all checks.

I'll check the forums for any known issues with the project that failed and see.

Thanks,

Hi, I'm a bit disappointed with the SMP client, this morning when I woke up I went to check if it had completed the WU it was working on when I went to bed (it was at ~80%), when I check FAHMon it had downloaded a new WU so I thought great, I'll check my stats, to my surprise they had not changed so...

Alright, thanks for that. Now, does anyone know how to use the GPU client? I have the ATI X1950 Pro that I thought I'd put to good use. I have started it up with the -gpu 0 -local -verbosity 9 parameters, it gets to the "Starting GUI server" line and then it doesn't seem to go any further... Also, d...

Hi again,

I have a question about which client I should be using. I have a C2D 6400, I read somewhere that I should use the SMP client. Should I run that or the F@H Console, and also, should I run multiple copies of the SMP or the Console client?

Thanks

Hi Neil, There is a lot more to it, than the number of steps -- the complexity of the molecule and what it is doing at each step, all are different for each project. There are different cores, and many different projects. The points are awarded based on how a particular machine handles it -- and dif...

Hello, I am a bit confused by the scoring system of this whole folding thing. I just started folding using the FAH504-Console and it downloaded a WU of 1000000 steps, now I loaded this into FAHMon to monitor progress and it has a preferred deadline of September 2 with a credit of 230 (!!) points. Pr...

Yea I noticed that, but I've been stuffing around with the GUI application and the SMP client.

Installed the SMP client last night (Brisbane, Australia) and it was sitting at around 90000 out of 500000 steps on Core1 and 50000 out of 500000 steps on Core2.

So we'll see what happens.

Hello,

I just joined up with the SPCR Folding team using the two machines in my sig at home as they are on 24/7 but only used during the day so I thought I'd put them to good use when idling away.

Thanks.

Hi, I believe that "normal" non-widescreen tv's run 640x480 (I stand corrected) as the best resolution.
