Another 5000ppd added, at least as long as my PC doesn't over heat (getting warmer down here in Nu Zaland).

amphibem

So went with Looking for Knowledge 's suggestion and got a reduction loaded temps, from 70+ down to 55deg. Still higher than I'd like but much more livable. Will now leave this box chugging away at GPU folding only, at the risk of getting my thread moved again found I get better PPD with just GPU or...

The general principle is pull air in from the front and back, have it go through the various heaters, then exhaust out the side. However doing this has given me the idea of trying reversing the flow on the CPU and rear exhaust fans to see what that does. What case do you have? I usually pull in fro...

Thanks for everyone's help - can't say I fully understand the situation but sounds like I should be fine, currently folding on 4 cores at 61.5C. As far as airflow goes, probably easiest to answer with some pics: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/th.b7af75d172.jpg That is the back of the PC, sh...

I have to ask: why is it a loss? 60ºC under load with warm ambient temperature isn't anything to sneeze at. You know that desktop CPUs are usually rated, if I recall correctly, to 85-90ºC, right? Well as per the next comment my understanding was Phenom's are rated to 62deg, hence my concern. Otherw...

So I took the heat sink off and found a couple of problems: the thermal paste was in somewhat of a lump (not spread over the full chip) and some of the nuts on the mount were loose. So I did a proper job of applying AS, fixed the mount and restarted. Now I get around 40degC at idle, still breaking 6...

Hi there, As you can see by my join date I have been around a while - but been pretty inactive for the last few years. Anyway I just upgraded by system with a Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition and ATi HD5770: still haven't gotten over how much grunt you can buy for what used to be entry-level dollars! ...

I'll check out some of those sites, but off the cuff, does anyone have any experience with office suites for iPod (the ones that give you read/write access to .doc, .xls, Google Docs, etc.)? Also, has anyone ever used IM+? I've used IM+ (still have it but don't IM much any more) - the most obvious ...

Well found this tool; FAH GPU Tracker V2 , which has been serving me well so far. Provides a convenient tool to manage SMP and multiple GPU client - I am currently only running 1 GPU client with it (no problems so far, I think 4 WU in) and will try SMP once the current WU's are finished. One of the ...

Has folding accomplished any major milestones? I don't mean to be dissing it at all, I think its a noble cause but I just have never heard about it accomplishing something major. Has it done anything that casual people can find on your local 6 o'clock news? No. Even pseudo-mainstream geek sites lik...

Nice to hear from a fellow Kiwi too

What part of the country you in, I am in Taranaki as previosuly mentioned it is cold right now

Gday mate, well I have been an on again off again contributor in the past. I stopped because I didn't like running my CPU hot all day and the extra expense of power. But there are lots of dedicated folders and every now and again I check the stats to see if UGN has taken over the world. I am going ...

amphibem

Hey all - I have been absent from these parts from a few years but have decided to start folding again so thought I might pop in. Only a small player - few CPU's and 1 GPU for now (FAHmon shows ~1750PPD) but a good bit of fun. My question is have things dropped off on this effort over the last few y...

amphibem, how did you get SW to install on home premium 64? I too am trying to install either/or the Student 2008-2009 version, or the full 2008 version on my 64 bit Home premium system and I can't get past the "SW not supported by 64 bit OS's". Any help would be greatly appreciated blfto...

I personally have a lot of experience with MediaPortal and Mythtv and find them very powerful pieces of software; with many features, plugins and good user interfaces. However I am not sure if either of them have proper support for the HD PVR, I know it is being worked but it probably isn't out of d...

I personally use VMWare Server, it is also free and allows you to setup your own virtual machine. From memory, VMWare Player does not allow that. Go to https://www.vmware.com/freedownload/login.php?cmp=EMC-ServerEvalActivation&li=activate , download and follow the activation steps. The setup is ...

That _all package is just a 29KB metapackage which depends on the others you've built (but in this case its dependencies are fulfilled by the older, unpatched packages of the same name already installed so it doesn't really do anything). It doesn't actually have anything in it other than text files...

amphibem

OK so no go, tried the install from the machine directly got the same result as above: $ sudo dpkg -i ../mythtv_0.21.0+fixes18254+ffmpeg15219+latm-0pk1_all.deb (Reading database ... 77331 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace mythtv 0.21.0+fixes18254+ffmpeg15219+latm-0pk1 ...

Deleted the 'multimedia' line, ran update then ran these: apt-get source mythtv='0.21.0+fixes18254+ffmpeg15219+latm-0pk1' apt-get build-dep mythtv='0.21.0+fixes18254+ffmpeg15219+latm-0pk1' That worked, with no errors. Then remembered to go back and make the change to avformatdecoder.cpp! Not much po...

OK so I have run into a number of problems, hopefully there is a way around this! The issue that has actually halted me is at the bottom, I have worked through the process is order though for clarity. So, with that added to your sources.list (and after running apt-get update to get the package info)...

amphibem

Wow that looks great. Should get a chance to try this all out tonight and will let you know how I go. On a side note, is it alright for me to use your instructions to create a complete set of instructions for what I am doing, assuming it works? I will of course link back here (as well as my other so...

amphibem

You want to grab the source package (as listed in the first thread) and then add your patch in to it to build a binary package that you can then install. If you are hunting for packaging instructions, remember that Ubuntu uses Debian packaging so search the Debian pages as well as the Ubuntu ones, ...

I am looking for a decent guide to teach me how to make changes to the source of a patch, and doing a rebuild, in Ubuntu. I have had a look around but it hard to find specifically what I want, there are Linux newbie sites which don't go into enough detail and guides on updating your kernel which isn...

Still a little too close for comfort for me. You should at least put that external drive in a different room. :) Better than that... it is also being replicated in the HTPC I have in the living room :wink: . At the moment just pictures and music... I would lose all my academic and professional stuf...

Thanks, unfortunatly that didn't work. And the computer will not sleep if the keyboard is allowed to wake it up either.

This wireless keyboard doesn't really cut it anyway, especially for gaming. Might go to a normal keybaord.

Cheers anyway

I recently fixed my sleep problems with my desktop; it was waking straight up from sleep without input, turned out I needed to turn off the mouse &keyboards ability to wake the computer from sleep. However now when the machine is woken from sleep the mouse scroll doesn't work properly, it moves ...

Well thanks for all you help, however I am pretty convinced it magiced itself to life :P I had the motherboard on its tray, with one stick of RAM and the CPU plugged in. I wanted to test what karz said so I put the heatsink on, plugged in what was necessary to power up (plus the monitor cable out of...

Motherboard speaker pin-outs are either four-pin (+5V-NC-NC-GND) or three-pin (+5V-NC-GND, where "NC" stands for "No Connection"). If the connector attached to your your speaker has four positions, try moving one of the end sockets over by one spot. You can do this by pressing l...

amphibem

Quick speaker test is to tap the wires across a battery (1.5V type) - of course this means that you need to actually access the wires and with the plug on the end of the speaker connection that may not be easy unless you use something like a pin to make contact with the sockets in that plug. Only b...
