What operating system are you using?

I've yet to meet one that can't turn the comp off or put it in to some 'not on' state via a couple or so mouse clicks.....

Problem In Chair, Not in Computer

Brilliant!!


Will be taking that one to work!

My Athlon 64 X2 4400+ Brisbane is the 65W version. It's overclocked 10% and running Folding @ Home 24/7. It's currently using the stock heatsink/fan and thermal pad... it's not silent... but quiet enough that I can't be arsed to go to the loft to find an 80L and decent goo to reduce the noise. Pete ...

Bad news Boys'n'Girls... the current total is 879 TFLOPS!!!

Looks like we may have to open up a couple more Piggy Banks.

Well that depends..... is it quiet?.....

A WU completed update:

WU completed in 40.5Hrs, worth 1760points
PPH = 36
PPD = 870
PPW = 6100

:( Big Sympathy due there herosformula . :( Big Bummer... :evil: I have a WU sat in queue since mid April due to down servers. Yesterday had a bad checksum on current WU and restarted..... after 96% done on a slow machine... :( Hey Ho!!... :roll: http://www.newminicornwall.com/MINI%20Images/keepfold...

Russ, Oh... now I see :D shall we start another debate on flow rate or do you think it's been done to death (with no concrete conclusions) already? :lol: Hi Visitor , excuse my... 'humour' :D . Yeah it worked fine once you got the water circulating. Normally let it sit in the BIOS set-up for a while...

With a low power CPU no doubt it would work..... Thoroughbred 'B' is not low in terms of heat output. Low heat output chips would probably hamper the effect. Why have a water cooling system without a pump anyway. Sorry, I thought this was Silent PC Review..... :roll: Fins on a standard heatsink wou...

Why?

It was a WACC CPU block and a Gainward(?) GPU block.


Pete

My XP2400+ Thoroughbred 'B' and NVidia 6600 thingamee, both overclocked ~10% and running higher than stock voltages, were cooled in the same loop with no pump and no fan..... No probs even if Folding 24/7..... Fairly obvious result!!!... :roll: Behold my leat 'clickable' skils: http://img357.imagesh...

What's at the top of the list?


Pete

So, further to my edited post above the current info for my 4400+ is:

Proj 2605 worth 1760 points.
Four Threads
Runtime ~50Hrs
PPH = 35.2
PPD = 844.8
PPW = ~5914



Even better!!!


Need to find out how to make it run at 100% CPU usage now...

As floffe has already said, you'll be fine on 1GB. 8) My two WU's are using ~120MB each if I'm reading the monitor right. Chip cache can make a big difference depending on the WU. 8)/ :evil: Which is something I forgot when ordering my CPU. :roll: Still at least mine is the energy efficient 65W one...

For the record I'm now running the Linux SMP Client via finstall. AMD 4400+ @ stock (2.3Ghz) 2GB DDR2 With both CPU's at ~96% and running: p1170_p1164_RIBO_H2O_froz p1171_p1164_RIBO_H2O_froz for 574 points each. Am turning 1% in 1/2HR dead, so 50 hrs total per CPU = 11.48 PPH. 11.48 X2 is 22.96PPH ...

Anybody checked the price of a Blue Gene recently? What's it's life expectancy(cost/year)? What's it's daily power requirement in terms of cost? How much air conditioning(cost) does it require? How much floor space (rent)? Salary for staff to run it? Oh, and we're gonna need two..... Pete :D P.S. Ca...

No probs so far on Opensuse 10.2 x64. (Mr. Murphy, please note the 'so far'...) Only PITA is nvidia driver install... it's not difficult, just has to be done... following the destructions at opensuse.org. (It's an nvidia liscence issue for all (?) linux flavours) I've found the most difficult thing ...

How much does that equate to in points money?
