my folding output will be down for a couple of days, and then back up to full force! - Page 6

i'm really not sure why the speed is so low.

try http://www.speedtest.net. i just ran it and got 0.81 mb/s. i'm paying for 12.0

That is a very poor speed, at least I'm getting close to 10 mb/s but paying for 30 I think... $76 a month. These monopolies we have in the US are a drag, they can do whatever they want and the gov does nothing about it. Mine is adequate for all the folding at least.

yeah what i'm getting is terrible. but it's been getting a little better today. but i can't upload bigadv results with these speeds

My router is having some trouble, seems to quit working whenever I'm at work

I bought a new one on ebay, hope it gets here SOON!

i pay $130aus a month ($~110 US) for 50GB of downloads! (adsl2+). at least i hit the speeds.

are you on cable lord?

Yes I'm on cable, I did have dsl a couple of years ago but the company couldn't offer anything faster than 10gb/s at a higher price.

dang that's a lot of money. but fast speeds also. i don't think they even offer those speeds around here

yeh similar story here. no issues.

im about 1.1km of cable away from the exchange, so i get good speeds

too bad there is virtually only 1 ISP that provides said speeds

twoodcc · Jul 30, 2010, 04:01 PM

well i still have 3 main machines for folding, but none are back up to full force.

i don't have any of them running over 3.6 ghz (the fastest now is like 3.55 or so). so right now i'm just running -advmethods instead of -bigadv on 2 of them, and i'm actually using the other one, so no cpu folding right now.

i do have 2 gpus in each one folding.

yes i have macs, but i don't fold with any of them. my mac pro is too old to fold with. but i am eying those new mac pros though

too bad osx cant utilise GPUs and whatnot.

otherwise id let my 4850 have a crack - better then the CPU thats for sure!

yeah i wish they had gpu folding for mac os x. but really, there aren't that many mac video cards

i know! it cant be that hard to write some support for it can it? just support some of the later ones even.

yeah you would think that. maybe some day

twoodcc · Aug 11, 2010, 06:19 PM

well guys i might be getting back up there soon. the last couple of days i've been working on my home built system, and i had it stable folding at 3.8 ghz. of course i got greedy, and am currently trying to manage 4.0 ghz. but right now heat is in the way, and i might have to take it back down a notch. we'll see

DoFoT9 · Aug 11, 2010, 06:53 PM

^^ is 200mhz really that important

i'm tellin ya, there's something about starting with the number 4.

but it got too hot, and i had to turn it down to 3.98 ghz. not quite 4. hopefully it'll stay at that though

i prefer the number 9 to be honest

9ghz! phoar!

what temps are they running at? had you considered water cooling?

i was running around 90C. i've now taken it down to just 3.9 ghz. it's still up close to around 85C. i really don't feel like messing with water cooling on this system. maybe next time

fair call, added power, costs, fuss etcetc. not worth it i guess

i think it might be worth it on some systems, but not this one. this one has had a rough life

twoodcc · Aug 14, 2010, 04:20 PM

well i added 2 more GPUs to my folding mix. i got a gtx 465 folding in the same rig as a gtx 260. it took awhile, but finally have them both folding with the gpu3 client. we'll see how it does

Ooooh! great, it will be good to get the points on our team from that 465!

thanks. so far this thing is smoking. but it is using different units. i'm not sure what the ppd for the card itself is, but it's gotta be 10K ppd or more.

well only 1 465 gtx. the other was just another 9800 GT. but when i run 3 of them in the same computer, one of them overheats - to 104C! but if i take one out, then it runs fine
