5th Annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race thread.

[SemperFi]

Thanks for the link biodoc. I haven't read it yet but I will. I updated my bios and used the auto config on my Asus crosshair IV board and am now running at 3.49Ghz. I was going to take the quick and easy route and just bump up the multiplier. I still plan on doing that as soon as I can find it. Looks like I have more reading to do. Can't complain about the 3.49Ghz though.

That is a nice hs/fan zipspeed. makes the one I got with my Phenom II look like a joke. Which it is. That is where Zalman comes in.

Here's a good source of info on OC'ing the PhenomII chips including the thuban (link).

To start, find the max temp for your chip in the specifications. The 1090T only has one sensor so find a utility that gives you that reading (Asus PC probe is a good one). Your motherboard should have come with software for hardware monitoring and overclocking (AMD overdrive, probably).

1075T overclocking should be very similar to 1055T overclocking. guide & another youtube guide

Thanks for the info and links Biodoc, I've got mine running at 3.5 stable now!

Hmm, saw this on techbargains, for any who might be interested - a cheap pair of 9800GTs ($99 for both after coupon code, idk if I can post it here?) for folding:

Also, thx for the stats pb.

There's this $35AR GT240 too @ newegg:

Should be a decent, relatively low power usage folding card.

EDIT: Looks like the price went up $10 since yesterday, $45AR now.

geecee: keep an eye on the GT240, I got the same thing for $40 after rebate from the Egg three weeks ago. Also Newegg has a holiday price guarantee (starting three days after I bought mine)-maybe that can be used to get back to the $35AR?

Anyway the main reason for me posting here is to volunteer to join the race.

No more parts for me here. Already spent the funds I was allotted (by DA BOSS, aka my SO) to build a new system, and all extra funds are going to Xmas presents.

Excellent! Great to have you, even if you do end up on the other team.

Thump553, you will be in from today's stats. I am condsidering which team to put you in ... depending on the results today

 

[petrusbroder]

Here are the stats as of December 9, 2010, 18:10 UTC:

Here are the stats in a different (and for me simpler) form. Much less work!
Is this OK for you all?

BTW: Well crunched, Snowmen!

 

[ZipSpeed]

Thanks for the update! Crunch harder Yetis!

Anyone who has time or is interested should read this 48-core F@H cruncher built by 10e. If only I had money...

Peter, the new stats look great.

I'm having trouble seeing the corrosponding numbers for the 9th on the left and right table ................ is there a hicup or am I looking at it wrong?

The right side of the sheet (the small table) are the day-by-day production numbers; those are aggregated in the big table ... and can not be seen there. I'll look into how I can make that more clearly visible ...

 

[petrusbroder]

Is this more clear?

 

[biodoc]

The stats look great Peter! Thanks! :thumbsup:

 

[Markfw]

The stats look great Peter! Thanks! :thumbsup:

Ditto !

And I finally got my PPD over 210k. The little brown truck is due anytime now, and that will up it again @!

 

[petrusbroder]

I will have a bad day today: no -bigadv WUs coming due ... expect only 65K.
OTOH: during Saturday and Sunday I will have at least 4 -bigadv WUs due ...
The ups and downs of Folding@home ... ;9

Here are the stats as of December 10, 2010, 18.07 UTC.

Well crunched, The Yetis!

 

[petrusbroder]

I find the stats quite interesting:

• The racers have increased their (and the TeAm's) PPD by 426K! This is also reflected in the TeAm's stats ... before December the production was approx 859K - 950K each day. Now the production is getting close to 1 500 000 points a day.
• The racers produce 74.8% of the TeAm's output.
• Just now - if the race would last for 2½ months - we would pass two teams before we would be passed by one.

I think the sways are the big wu's. I have 4 dumping this weekend. That 250,000 or so, in addition to my normal points.

Thanks for the stats peter ! And congrats to my opposite team.

Hello Thump Welcome to the Race!

Thanks for the stats, Peter

 

[ZipSpeed]

Finished building my i7 970 rig. Installing Windows right now. Next, overclock to 4 GHz and stress test. Hoping to have it running -bigadv sometime this weekend!

 

[Uppsala9496]

About 300 points away from my total race output last year! Impressive what an upgrade does. Added a PS3 and a GTS450.
I even shut those two down at times to watch a movie or let my wife do some random video things.

Impressive.

Good luck with the startup.

The Yeti's look forward to the addition of your new rig............. :thumbsup:

 

[PCTC2]

Hmmm... My ppd seems to be dying. I should check all the boxes... and ADD SOME MORE! I'm letting the Snowmen! down!

 

[Markfw]

I just added one, but most of the points won't show until Sunday....

Wait for it ! I expect Sunday to be worth 400,000 point for me (give or take 50k)
