This song is called coil whining, and you will learn to love it... all Folders do.

Oc only the shaders.

oh my...


good news is that my gtx260 is half way through the first gpu WU since my last post here lol my bfg 216 is doing 1450 on the shaders without a hiccup... I think I'm gonna keep this card. Say 'aye' if you want me to push it more!

ok so I just found out that the back of the pcb on my 216 is too hot for my liking lol... fan now at 80% and I'm wearing my headsets without listening to anything. At least it drowns out the whining... Does the gpu client come with a cpu client or something? On my PII 720, one core is loaded to the max, and the other 2's usages are jumping around. Should I also install the cpu client?

Well, after my Q6600 got zapped by lightning (along with my UPC) I haven't had a rig to fold with. I just got this triple-core up n running(all stock), but it's only got a 4650 1 GB GPU. I'm folding with the CPU client right now 24/7 for the HWC team. Would a GPU client be better suited? I game for a couple or 3 hours a day, so I was thinking that the CPU client on 100% of the time is better than the GPU on only while I'm A.F.K. Anyone tried both, or something of a hybrid? I don't have the time or inclination to experiment with this setup, just trying my maximize my WUs without inconveniencing myself. I'll leave it 'as is' if nobody replies with a suggestion.

Stick to the CPU folding - the 4650 will have a pathetic ppd...

Thanks Charlie

I've noticed that my gpu sings through entire 353 WU's but sings in burst fire with other WU's, is there a bottleneck somewhere? I recall someone telling me it's giving the gpu a break or something, but can't remember exactly where... if it is trying to give my gpu a break, is there a way to make it plow right through without a break?

That is normal and there is no way to change it.

alright lol, thanks for the quick response

It wouldn't be so prominent if they'd put a chunk of medium stiff rubber pad between the toroids and the pcb, then goop it up with RTV. But you can try it yourself. Works on all of mine.

Hi everyone . I start to fold today, a simple test. so I get a passkey, my user name is MarkedOne, do I have to do other thing to regiester that name than get a passkey?, how you get the team stats on the signature and the HWC folding crest

thanks
