Nice job k. Thanks for working on this

 

[amdgamer]

That is pretty awesome as only Team #33 gives away Intel Hex Core folding rigs.

That is pretty awesome as only Team #33 gives away Intel Quad Core folding rigs.

FTFY

FTFY

Ohh, I thought the 5630 was a hex core.

Well, to be fair, you guys just recently gave away a hex core system a few months ago!

Hah. Might want to edit that post

label it a quad core 8 thread chip?

 

[W.Feather]

very good to see.....lets hope this brings in more members

 

[Brak710]

Awesome! Glad to see the giveaways back!

 

[jebo_4jc]

label it a quad core 8 thread chip?

yeah that helps. I was actually referring to amdgamers post, but yours clears up the confusion I think.

 

[Toconator]

I'll definitely pay for shipping to the Great White North if I win. Might be a timely addition as my C2Q6600 has been having issues running @ 3.2GHz lately while folding so I've cranked it back to 3GHz today and haven't had a crash but temps are higher than they used to be. Been faithfully running at this OC for almost 4 yrs straight folding with classic then smp so it's done it's duty for the Horde for sure. Crossing my fingers and hitting the reg thread now...

 

[Pocatello]

Kendrak,

do you need any more parts for the boxen?

 

[Kendrak]

Kendrak,

do you need any more parts for the boxen?

We should be good on this one thanks to KMac.

If you want to help though, we are getting the parts together for a extra special giveaway.

We might be able to launch this next one while we are finishing up this current one.

of course this comes up right after I got everything pointed back to Anonymous

Why would you do something silly like that?

 

[LightningCrash]

Why would you do something silly like that?

I don't really care about the points part.

 

[Kendrak]

I don't really care about the points part.

But we (as a team) do!

Just pick a lucky person on the team and fold under their name.

There are a few people here that do that.

 

[Untitledone]

Pick me! Pick me!

hey guys, i decided to start up F@H on my home computer again since it's starting to get a little cooler around here (and there's this nice giveaway here ) and I was curious if my system is running properly.

I'm currently running the 6.34 client with just the -smp flag (it's loading all 4 cores on the sig rig at 100%). HFM is showing a ppd of ~2134 for this P10124 unit with average TPF of 40 minutes.
HFM Output website
http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=382146

To me that sounds really slow the TPF is making me think its a bigadv unit but I'm not using those flags! I remember the computer running around 4.6kppd last year =/ Is this just a difficult unit or is my poor box a dud now-a-days?

Is your OC the same?

Are you running anything else on the system?

 

[Briliu]

my OC is still 2800, yeah.

I was playing league of legends for probably 3 of the 4 frames there. That's more than likely the issue, I just never thought of LoL as CPU intensive at all. heh.

I'll post again tomorrow to see how the over night frames went. Thanks!

 

[Kendrak]

Well it isn't just the CPU but the memory. If the game uses up some or most of the memory bandwidth it is going to slow things down.

I think your fine

 

[Briliu]

Down to 22minute frame times!

It must have just been the game, I should know better than that lol.

Thank you for your help

 

[Kendrak]

Well we just got put on the front page.....

We should see people start flooding in.

[Kendrak]

Well since I listed this in here we added 30.

Now with the front page action.... I hope we add 100+ more.

lol it always amazes me how many people can't read down to the 9th and 10th lines to figure out that they can't register in this thread

 

[drdeutsch]

Great giveaway. I'm going to get in this time!

 

[Kendrak]

Great giveaway. I'm going to get in this time!

You think this one is great, just wait till ya get a whiff of what we are cooking up for the next one

 

[DeftonesXP]

Does anyone know if it's worth it to use a GF 8400 for F@H ?
It seems rather slow for this, right ?

 

[Kendrak]

It has been so long since I have know of anyone folding on a 8400, but even then it was much on the points. Maybe 1k ppd... maybe?

I'd estimate around 500-1000PPD depending on whether you have a model with 8 SPs or 16 SPs. It's worth it if you don't have enough other hardware to produce a decent amount of PPD, but I'd say if you can do 10-15k PPD or more with your other parts, don't bother.
