Here's the next member of the 7 million points club, back folding for the team, it's......

SebRad!!!!!

Great work on hitting 7 million! Awesome! Keep on folding!!

And up next at 400k, it's...

odk0037!!!!

Thanks for helping out with the team, great work!!!

Welcome back! Well, first suggestion would be to get the new client, here's the installation instructions https://fah-web.stanford.edu/projects/FAHClient/wiki/ClientUserGuide#Windows although those are for windows, I'm assuming that's what you're running. The new client will allow you to control gpu...

I have that Chenbro case, it's not too bad, although the fans in the back are not great. I replaced them, and it's ok now. I also cut a hole above the motherboard and stuck a fan above it, keeps the board pretty cool, so I don't need a tiny fan on the motherboard to keep it cool. The tricky thing ab...

Let's see, I may be able to help on a couple of these: 1. Ignore the side intake fan for the moment. You don't have a big gpu in there, so nothing to cool with that. You may want to download SpeedFan or some other temperature monitoring software and check your temps to be sure. If the cpu is getting...

Well yeah, the Fractal R3 is a much better case for a normal situation where you have decent ventilation on all sides. The problem that you mentioned, though, was that the Fractal R3 has the PSU vent on the bottom, and if you take the case feet off it's going to be a problem. Most cases that are goo...

Huh, I think 46.5cm converts to 18.3 inches, and newegg lists the antec 300 height as 18 inches. Is there a different measurement somewhere else that leads you to believe it won't fit? As far as the top vent goes, you can block it, and probably block the side fan too. My real point is, a cheap case ...

Hey, look who hit 500k, and got into the team top 100! It's....

Buddabing!!!!!

Congrats on 500k! It is nice being on the first page, isn't it? Keep up the great work!!!

And now, bouncing into the 300k bracket, it's...

Jackaroo!!!!

Congrats on the new bracket!! Great job, keep on folding!!!!

Yeah, you do really have a lot of options here. You may want to just optimize for airflow, with the height constraint you wouldn't want a lot of bottom to top flow, but it sounds like things are fairly wide open front to back. Most cases with front input fans aren't really optimized for silence, so ...

Looks like a good list, the only thing I'd critique is the hard drive. In terms of reliability, the 2.5" drives I've had always seem to fail fairly badly, I'd be worried about using one as the main drive. The case should have enough room to mount a good 3.5" disk pretty quietly, get a WD green drive...

Is it in something like a pillar? I have something like that, but I'm more constrained by width that height. Is your space wide enough for most cases? If you're looking for more suggestions, all 3 dimension limits would be useful.

Hey Frenchie, sorry to hear about the trouble. I did find this thread about nvidia driver trouble people have, might help: http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=18814

Good luck!

I have an FT 02, although I later made a case that was something like the FT 03. The vertical fan arrangement seems pretty effective to me.

I have a fortress, and it's a great case for cooling high powered systems. I have an i7 980x in it with dual gtx 460s, all OCed to various degrees, and it can keep them all pretty cool under load without a lot of noise. Of course, for your system I would ditch the V10, I've never read a review of th...

In other news, it sounds like AVADirect is going to try making quiet systems: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4487/avadirect-moves-to-silent-running I doubt they'll be as quiet as the Puget systems, but it sounds like they're going for lower price points. Might be worth a look, if you haven't resigned...

Hi all, have some terrible news. As reported here: http://en.fah-addict.net/news/news-0-368+bigadv-bonus-points-changes.php They're going to readjust bigadv points, so that they'll be worth less than they used to be. So all those big points any bigadv folders have been racking up are going to drop. ...

Hey Buddabing, great work on top team 100! Yeah, we're all concerned about the site, but it seems to be working out somewhat. Hey Frenchie, sorry to hear you've been having gpu issues. I haven't heard of speed switching like that before, sounds pretty strange. Might want to find one of those gpu mem...

Hey, coming up fast, it's our newest member of the 7 million bracket.... SKeptical_Thinker!!!!!! Congrats on 7 million, but with your new production levels, you should be hitting 8 million in no time! Looks like you've started folding bigadv jobs, great work!! Keep up the outstanding folding!!! :D

Hey, here's someone new at 700k, it's....

cerberus1981!!!!!!

Congrats on the 700k boundary, you'll be at 800k in no time!!!

And jumping up into the 400k bracket, it's....

muncca!!!!!

Great work, congrats on keeping the ppd up! Keep on folding!!!!

Looks good. I assume you're going with a pico psu, you don't have any dedicated space for psu in there.

I got a little NAS case because I wanted something small that could hold 4 hard drives. SFF computers are great for places where you have a strong idea of a simple thing you want the computer to do, and you don't want it to take up more space than necessary.

I noticed a while back that heatsink factory says that they're shipping them: http://www.heatsinkfactory.com/prolimatech-genesis.html but I haven't ordered one yet. I keep waiting for http://www.svc.com to get some new prolimatech stuff in, it's always easier to just go pick it up, but no luck latel...

Would a fairly standard SLI configuration be the way to go here? You can get a couple cards that run at about half what you need, adjust the fan speeds on both cards so that they run at low speed during non-gaming usage, and then let them speed up when you need to game. I have a couple of dual gtx 4...

Hey, give it up for a new member of the 20 million bracket!!!! No kidding, it's...

jhimanka!!!!

It's an amazing effort, great work! That's an amazing amount of folding, an outstanding achievement!! Awesome!!!

Indeed, welcome back SebRad! And hey, jhimanka, congrats on taking #1 in production! I think you're being a little modest, you had another giant spike yesterday when you made 650k ppd! Notably, it looks like you returned 2 WUs at 6pm yesterday and got 576k for them! Now assuming that both WUs were a...

Looks like you have a good set of components, but I'm curious about one thing. If you aren't planning to overclock, then why go with the i7 2600k? The i7 2600 should be marginally cheaper, and it won't have the unlocked multipler, so you won't be tempted to OC it. If you want to keep it as an option...

With your requirements, the gpu upgrade might be overkill. A gtx 450 or 550 would probably work. Although, come to think of it, I have a couple spare gtx 260s in a box somewhere, would be happy to get a few bucks for one of them. Not sure what your power consumption is like now, you might need a PSU...

Yeah, great work SKeptical_Thinker!! Looks like you've started in with bigadv jobs, that will take you to a new level. Speaking of stepping it up, it looks like jhimanka had a really good day last week, ran up 488,655 points in a single day! Not sure how that happened, but great work! I'm pretty sur...
