    Finally am folding again with CPU and GPUs but with only 50% of my RAM.:(
    (I have seen entirely too many BSODs in the past 6 weeks.)
    One of my RAM slots has got to be bad and haven't narrowed it down yet but everything is cooking along nicely at stock speeds on the CPU and the GPUs are back to their original shader OC - 1620.
    Hope to get my CPU OCed back to high 3s this weekend and will probably go back to a VM/Ubuntu client since the bug has been fixed there so look out Merkin_Tile.;)

    Cool man! It's been really tragic for me to see your recent numbers with that i7 beast!:cry When you do get to 3.8+ GHz, you will now need the new 6.34 A5 client for -bigadv SMP to work.

    Ya on running native 'nix for the SMP for at least a %10 increase , though you will lose a lot of PPD on the GPU's. I would personally stick with Windows even though I don't have any solid figures ATM. It would be interesting to see the difference between two OS's.

    Fold on bro!:major

    BTW, I have a Sandy Bridge rig now, which is a dead DOA, when I get the replacement mobo from MSI, I'll do my usual folding here as a test between the OS's but that won't be until mid-April at the least.

    It really pisses me off when I have some $900 worth of useless hardware just sitting here.:mad No relation to the Intel P67 issue, it's just a dead mobo, but no one wants/can't send me a replacement due to the current P67 chipset crap*.sigh* I really wish I had one of those 'faulty P67' boards ATM.:(

    Ouch augie. I want one of those also but the wife needs a new comp first so I'll do some fast talking once she has hers in hand.

    Puuulease, can I have the number 1 spot just long enough to brag to the folks in the assisted living facility. ;) :cry

    So lbmest, sounds like you have a X58 chipset. I've heard good things about the customer support at EVGA, and they make a board for around $210: EVGA 131-GT-E767-TR.

    Sounds like the board might be a bit persnickety with ram thou. Fold on matey.....MT :wave

    Same mobo as I've got. Yup, the forums are good with an active community and returns..

    As to the #1 spot, you better make hay while you can as I might be coming here in April.:p:cool:-D

    If I don't get my overclock up to the 4's, you'll have the top spot pretty shortly and not a thing I can do about it.:cry

    Oh crap, we better start looking for some LN2.;)

    Some days are getting into the high 80's (Celsius) ;) already here in Phoenix, AZ; :cry so I'm going to reduce my Folding in response. :crybaby

    Also, I read a very good review of the the H60 closed cooling system.

    If anyone is at Luke Air Force Base's Open House this weekend, make sure you take protection..........................for your ears. ;) Looking forward to the F-22 demo. :celebrate Take care all, and fold on. :wave :zzz
