Lol, yeah. Kinda like "Shit happens" but with Biblical grandeur.

Nice, Wrah... but I like this girl better.

Nah... with the boxes you have, you'll be jockeying for position on page 2 in no time.

Woohoo! It worked. Thanks. More points for SPCR!

Quit taunting me, I've run out of computers to borg.

I have a slow-ass Celeron 466 folding under Linux. I've set it so that it asks me before it attempts to use my net connection. Unfortunately, it's also running in the background, so I have to check FAHlog.txt every so often to see if it's done. I thought I could just kill the process when it was don...

Or would I be tempting fate too much, and the PSU gods will smite me? Eventually, you will be smote. Nice to know that the Seasonic won't die (immediately) under those conditions, though. I have a 400w Tornado and I plan on modifying it with a 5v Papst, but even then I'm apprehensive about it since...

Sounds like a no-name brand to me. I might power a P3 with one, but Athlons and no-name PSUs don't mix.

I have a Dell Inspiron 8100 folding 24/7. The fans are on about 80% of the time, which isn't too bad, all things considered.

Thank goodness I haven't had to take it in for servicing, though... I would hate to have to deal with Dell's support.

There's a thread about this in the General forum: http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=10487

Wooooohoooooo!

Quite right u :!: It is more important to have 100 folders doing 10 more PPD than a single folder doing 1K PPD. It goes to show "there is strenght in numbers" :lol: Yep, and it's not quite as catastrophic when one of those 10 PPD guys goes down. :) Bye Lockheed, we'll miss your points. [edit](And y...

I'm with Joe on this one... I don't like how it's such a blatant ripoff of the G5. I might like it if the G5 never existed, but ripoffs inherently look cheap to me.

I do like the air channels, though.

*Bump*

We need your help! We're currently neck-and-neck with Team MacOSX and we need some new members to help us get over the hump. If you join, we promise to shower you with praise and treat you real nice in the Folding forum.

What voltage, shiro? And what did you use to put it under load, Prime95?

Gahhh, it looks like they're ahead again, by a whopping 54 points.

I was all ready to use the dancing banana guy, too.

Thanks again, Crisspy. I believe you when you tell me my case is probably not 2mm -- I have no real way of measuring except with a ruler, and you know that that's not going to be very accurate. :lol: Welp, a-cuttin' I will go. One last thing... how do you guys usually drill holes for the fan screws?...

Maybe it's an insidious MacOSX plot to kidnap our best folders.

Hahahahaha! "Symbolic representation only - Power supplies might not catch fire, but you can certainly burn them out."

If nothing else, THG is good for laughs.

... and sthayashi has now passed me. Noooo!

Seriously, good job.

(Yeah, I just like the banana guy.)

Strange. I had coil whine from my Enermax when I plugged it into a Radeon 9700Pro and an Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard. Replacing it with a Seasonic Tornado actually fixed it.

Geordie, how did you read temps from both the CPU diode and the socket? My motherboard's (Abit NF7-S) BIOS and MBM only show one temp for the CPU... do you know if it's the motherboard socket temp or the CPU diode temp? I just replaced my TbredB XP1700+ with a Barton XP-M 2500+ and the temps are sur...

I have a 1.13GHz P3 on a CUSL2 right now. Up until a few minutes ago, it was cooled by a noisy Thermaltake Golden Orb cooler. Under load (Folding@Home), temps reached 55-56C. I just slapped a ThermalRight AX-7 with a 12v Panaflo L1A on it and temps dropped to 45-46C! The AX-7 might be overkill for a...

And proud of it.

I love getting a shout-out in this thread. It's like making one of the Plays of the Week on SportsCenter, only without any actual physical effort required. Hahaha... I feel exactly the same way! For my next trick, I plan on continuing to sit on my butt But you do it with such style. :D "And it was ...

You better hurry. I've fixed my 1.5GHz problem, so now my main folding machine is running at 2.0GHz, and I've got another machine that's itching to go (as soon as I get my fiancee to install F@H). Just wait'll my mobile Barton gets here... if I'm lucky, I'll hit 2.4-2.6GHz (silently, of course). :)...

... and now I'm green again.

I gotta find more systems to borg somehow... sthayashi is gonna catch me soon!

Sort of, but not really. ARM "owns" both the accounts, so I have no problem with it. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to consolidate accounts, but that's just not possible.

Thanks for your help, Crisspy. I just bought the red Wiss M1RC (dunno what the 'C' means) and I'm cutting everything I can get my hands on... which isn't much, actually. Wish I had some metal to practise with. :) I would guess that my case metal is just under 2mm thick. The instructions say it's onl...

Lol.
