Just want to make a clarification here.: I like to build computer, I try to play game to justify my build, but I'm really not in gaming. Since I have 5 computers capable of good folding, running 24/7 idling mainly all the time, I decide to put them in good use, why not, but don't expect me to try to beat the record. I do it for fun, not to be the # 1, in summer I will shut them down, and for now I go slowly by slowly, build a folding beast have a learning curve, so I take my time. Build a computer is more fun than use it.

It is MarkOne, but nothing will run as cool as my ENGTX260 Matrix :)
I've got as much PPD on that now as a GTX275. I'm 27% OC On the Shaders by dropping the core a little with mem.

Runs 50 Degrees on the 584 WU's.

Good luck with the MSI one, let us know what the thermals are on it.

they probably not the best rated one... but I'm confident with this one, and usually I have good luck with stuff. from the pics, the cooler base cover all the important stuf , including the vrm.. The Asus you talk about look very good too, but dam hard to find , do you have a place where they have ?

I have had no luck finding a second one ever. They don't sell them in North America.
I even have the people at TPU searching for one as well to no avail.

That card is just amazing. I know someone who uses a Twin Frozor and it actually runs really good for folding.

I read some freaking things about the new drivers of Nvidia last few weeks here someplace, , is that something I should worry, can I install the last driver, or they are better option ?

[martin_metal_88]

Personally I always stay 1 version back with the Nvidia driver. I am now using 190 on mine and everything is working like a charm. I would sugest only to stay with SQL driver and avoid the BETA one.

Over 4500PPD? Not likely. I have two 9600GSOs, and the one that is clocked higher (650MHz core, 1836MHz shaders) tops out at about 4200PPD, usually running at around 4000.

The 191.07 driver version is your best bet based on what I have read and experienced.
