Since joining the 'fold' this week, I've added 5 systems. Give it a week so see the results, but I'll estimate that I'm good for 700-1000 PPW.

Let's get SPCR on an advertising binge - throw a banner at the top of the page or something!

Laptop is running with 512mb of ram, the desktop with a full gig. Is there any point/efficiency to accepting the "work assignments and results greater than 5mb in size"? or the standard or deadlineless checkbox?

Yah, I understand. On an up-note, (with his permission) room mates computer is now system #4.

Cool, I gotcha. It's actually w00glin (w-zero-zero-glin) That might have been it. I was checking the logs and it looks as if a couple units ended early. If the computer needs to be shut down for any reason, then does F@H automatically send whatever results are available the next time it starts (then...

Thanks P

Still odd question - all of my machines show Finished WUs: none

Do I need to differentiate them somehow with machine ID's?

So until further notice, no new liquid-ninja FAH sigs on SPCR?

OK, I may be wrong in thinking the laptop had crashed.

I never considered that one of the machines could have actually completed a WU so fast, but it did. 109 Points!


another edit... make that 2WU's complete based on the stats at Stanford.

Yee Ha! I'm foldin'!

should be downwards, at least mine is.

Just started folding and I have a few questions. 1 - my spare laptop with a 1.9GHz Pentium 4M is chugging along on a p1138 'Tinker', and after almost a full 24 hours to complete 16 of 400 frames it is estimating that this WU will take until January 7th to complete. Seems a little long to me. Last ni...

not sure how quiet it is, but what about:

Sorry to bring back an old thread.... what was the Team SPCR ranking back then?

3 systems added today: At work - P3-800MHz plugging along very slowly Spare laptop - P4-M 1.9GHz At home - Celeron 2.66 under the name w00glin Should start seeing some results in the next 24 hours. Would it be frowned upon to seripticiously add FAH to other random computers? ie. Roomates, parents, o...

It looks like one giant dust filter!

wing wrote: I believe it is a Celeron. It has the stock heatsink which is just a few fins. The dead fan which used to be mounted on top has been removed.

And it's over 50 at idle. Scary.

Dead fan? Removed? Put a new one on it!

wing wrote: So it's the CPU temperature that's still over 50

Is that still a Celeron? Over 50 at idle or under load?

I've got a celery with zalman HS (see sig) and it idles around 32, maxes out at 46'ish

Well, I played better safe than sorry and swapped the Truepower for the Enermax noisetaker that I had in my old case. The voltage readings seem more reasonable, I find it marginally quieter than the TP, plus it's got that extra power for all the HDs. It seems to give off a lot less heat than the tru...

I had my 370 apart yesterday and both fans were the plug-in variety.

Update: Rear (stock) fan now hard wired at 5V, nice and quiet. Pulled the Antec PSU and put in the Enermax Noisetaker. Better, though I assume the Nexus would bring it down that extra notch. PSU fan is around 740rpm, CPU is at 1400. I couldn't guess what the case fan is doing. In the process of swap...

Next.... It's definitely quieter without the 120mm fan running. I see the next common mod is to replace it with a quieter model. The multimeter on the fan-only connection shows that the fan is already 5.5V to 6V under normal system temps. For a real comparison, try plugging that rear fan into one of...

Just got a new Sonata with the True380S (330W) PSU. I was a bit concerned about the voltages being reported by Asus Probe, so I hauled out the digi-meter 12V - Asus says 11.712v, multimeter says 11.90 5V - Asus says 4.919v, multimeter says 4.97 This was taken off one of the molex plugs, so I guess m...

I just got a new Sonata 2 days ago and I find it noticably louder than the OEM case that it replaced. I'm going to try swapping out the TruePower PSU with my Enermax Noisetaker and see what the difference is, also may try cutting out the rear grill and leaving the rear fan at a solid 5v or 7v instea...

also try dtemp ( http://private.peterlink.ru/tochinov/ ) for hard drive temp reporting.

I find anything over 45 seems extremely warm to the touch. Mine idle at around 10-15 degrees over ambient (around 30-35 degrees) and max out at 45 during a long defrag.

Try shifting things around on the 2nd ide channel. with the DVD/CD as master and HD3 as slave?

I've had a couple SilenX 80mm 14dba fans. They're not 14dba, but very quiet if they're only blocked by a wire grill instead of anything stamped. My single 80mm is running 12v exhaust with the grill cut out, and it's as silent as the PSU fan running at 1000rpm (Enermax Noisetaker 370W) Also, at 12v t...

All at 21 degrees C ambient... Boot Drive :WD80gig 33-35 degrees C Storage HD:WD120gig 34-37 degrees C, up to 39 after a few hours solid of PVR running CPU: averages 35 degrees C, maxes out at 48 under full load after 30 minutes (Zalman 7000AlCu running at ~1300rpm) System: averages 40 degrees, maxe...

I have a 6-year old P2-400MHz. All it needed was a new HD (which it needed anyway, because 8GB isn't as impressive as it used to be) and a new fan. Dumb question.... what would one do with such a system? I'm not joking, I'm curious. I've never trashed a computer because there was something wrong wi...

but doesn't the sound bother you when you're working on the car, or taking out the trash?

From what I've read about most of the low-cost bridge solutions, expect a hit in performance of anywhere from 25% to 50% of what your regular wireless connections currently have. But like Rusty said, it's only WUs

Ah, I understand.

Yes for recording television, but for the bedroom. And the case is still a mini-tower, nothing special.

HTPC recording is???

I added a Hauppauge TV Tuner card, using it as a video recorder instead of the crappy VCR.
