Read the project number off the log or put FahMon/HFM.net on it, it will tell you. If you have not folded -bigadv, you will need to wait for 10 WUs completed in order to get a really big one. Are you folding under your name or UGN? UGN has folded the 10 WUs so you will get the fat ones right away. 3 days sounds like it, with bonus you get 60K points netting ~20K+ ppd.

I've got a 2600K running at 4.5Ghz and it's running 24x7 in the mid-60's which is very cool IMO. I've got another i7 950 running at 3.9Ghz and it's been running in the mid 80's on all cores 24x7 for a year. These things can take a beating.

Yeah, I'm getting used to it. My 2600K runs at ~60C right now. If I can get a better heat sink, I'll bump the frequency up a bit.

A couple of big units done, impressive. /vader
I noticed a slight dip in your points. Perhaps this applies to you.

Hmm my i7-875K could (tested a while back before the switchover to A5) do 20K ppd. You are now doing 33K ppd. Decent jump but not exactly double that makes me want to ditch my current set up and buy a new one.

There's this really cool team I know of that you should join. It's called The Tech Report and it's number 2630.

Stop trolling and behave then nobody will want to ban you?

astrotech66 wrote:I was having some reboots, so I set my i2600k multiplier back down to 43 (it was at 45) and that seems to have fixed the issue. My temps stay around 61C or lower for all the cores now. They were getting up to 65 or 66C, maybe higher, and that's when I was getting reboots.
Anyway, I was wondering, can I run the GPU client at the same time I'm running the SMP client? I have a Radeon HD 6870 that could be contributing if I can run both.

You sure can. I think the ATI client might require 1 CPU core still though...? Someone correct me if wrong there. So depending on the output it may or may not be worth it. I'll check the new V7 beta client about that as well as the new ATI GPU client and get back to you.

Cool, thanks. I was running the GPU client before I started the SMP and I remember adding something to the registry so that it wouldn't use CPU cycles, but I'd have to search around to find exactly what it was since my memory of it is vague.
