Folding@Home: THGC Needs You -Team 40051

[Norton72]

I played around with it a little and it seems I am getting my max clock speed at around 64C and below. So I have the fan control set to come up to 40% at 65C. I wonder if it's time to try another 10% boost?

I see "overclock fever" setting in with this one gentlemen.
What shall we do??????? 😀

Encourage and infect him more ,or warn of the dangers of lost points and sleep as you tinker into all hours of the night.........

Yeah I would crank it up and set a custom fan curve instead of a fixed rate speed.
Some work units produce a lot more heat than others. So you want the fan to ramp up with temps.
Play with it a little until you find a nice quiet curve that keeps you in boost mode temperatures.



OMG what have I done??????

Ahem.....watercooling...

 

[Norton72]

Watercooling, yes. I initially built this computer with a Swiftech 240X, but it started leaking after a couple of months. But anyway, that was a CPU cooler, so it doesn't count now, does it? Water cooling is in my future, but not right away.

So I have set a good fan curve and my clock and temps are stable. GPU usage is ~97-99%, 59C, 1447MHz. Tomorrow, another 10 MHz. I wonder at what point I'll have to start tinkering with the voltage?

What, me? Never 😀

Second place it is then, new toy arrived😀

Ooh! What did you get?

 

[beanoslim]

GTX970 Strix, really nice looking card.😍

 

[Mousemonkey]

And a nice little addition to the team I hope. 😉

 

[beanoslim]

Nah, think I'll just look at it😀

 

[Mousemonkey]

Yeah right! :lol: So when can we expect a rise in your PPD then?

 

[EXT64]

But, but, but beano, if you only got one more 980 (plus your new 970)...

That should actually get you close to my real effective ppd (yesterday was a glitch).

Well I just quickly bunged it in the old DFI that was on the test bench and they didn't seem to get on so I've now switched that mobo for something slightly newer and its just about to fire up.

You are not the man I thought you were

Its alive, reporting 230k on a 9159

[EXT64]

Nice! So do you have all of your systems in one room or spread about?

 

[beanoslim]

This is the main rig

I like open plan😀

All in my office, bit of a mess atm been messing around with laptops!

This 970 is cool, running @48C..

 

[EXT64]

Sounds like that 970 needs some overclocking! lol, yeah temp is definitely not the limit on maxwells.

 

[beanoslim]

I've bumped it straight up to 1400mhz, will see how it goes, currently on a 9151 for 290k.

 

[beanoslim]

Woke up to a blue screen, that's answered that.

Double moon time...@lilcinw and ThePretzelguy

 

[Sakkura]

On that note, this one's for you kingsmp:

 

[beanoslim]

Like it:lol::lol:

 

[king smp]

Thats awesome!
Congratulations
I regret that due to living circumstances that i cant fold anymore and I am very happy to see my standing drop
Booyah Sakkura and Team 40051!

 

[Sakkura]

Cheers.

And in other news, Beano breaks 100 million!

Great work man.

Oh, and Norton broke 10 million recently, that's a nice milestone too.

 

[Mousemonkey]

Oh lookie! A speck has appeared on the horizon. 😗
