Help fight cancer with F@H! join team ECF today!!!!!!

[harmonic]

Had some overclock stability issues with my i7 haswell rig. My job is keeping me away from home so I'm not here to reset it when it crashes. No matter what I try I cant get it past 4.5 ghz. Ran the vcore up to 1.5 but no dice and it runs too hot so I upgraded the cooler from a Hyper 212 EVO to a H100i radiator unit but it didn't seem to bring the temps down any.... So for now it sits at 4.5 ghz @ 1.39v but still just a tad bit hotter than I would like...
On a positive note I passed 9 mil

Just got set up on my laptop and home powerhouse. Will fold in the bg at work on the laptop. Very happy to have finally clicked the link and became involved.

 

[Bovinia]

We're happy you clicked too Magma! Welcome

I just joined as well. My personal system is on all day and all night usually. I work from home so mostly use my work system during the day. It should be able to run full time.

Unfortunately had to stop F@H on the laptop as temps were getting a little high. Good thing is the Home rig is on 24/7 and is working great

 

[Bovinia]

Yep it can be a pretty hard workout on a lappy. Be sure your fans are lint and dust free.

 

[Magma]

the fans are clean, but temps were hitting danger levels so I decided to only run on the home machine that has plenty of fans and airflow.

Just lower it to where its stable. Then forget about it!

In other news, I just received a pair of SLBV3's and will be upgrading my folding rig when I can find the time. So if you see my average bump up 50%, you'll know what its from

Yeah, I shutdown my laptop for folding a while back. It's too much for a laptop. Plus you can't fix something as easily in a lappy. I just fold on the rig and my server, both of which sports Xeon procs.

Server: 8-11K PPD
Beast: 110-170K PPD (to increase soon)

 

[Bovinia]

Congratz on the upgrades Nach! I miss not contributing right now, but I just have to be patient and wait this out. Still not working, but something will come along soon I hope.

I use a dual fan laptop pad and haven't experienced any problems with overheating. I think without those dual, external, fans, it would be kind of tough on it though.

 

[Nach]

I just got the new procs installed. Let's see if this ship can run any better now!

 

[harmonic]

Good work Nach

 

[Bovinia]

Let 'er rip, Nach!

Just signed up. And WOW does this use up every bit of extra cpu usage it can! I thought "I'm gonna run this sucker at high! I have a beast of a computer." It instantly tacked out my i7 and since I haven't set up my water cooling system yet I figured I'd turn it down to medium until I throw it on there.

This is awesome, thanks for posting it! My sister has been fighting cancer for almost 5 years now. I am always happy to help in any way I can. I recently signed up for the bone marrow donors list too. I'm glad to see people participating in this! Couple quick questions though.
1:It has been running for about an hour and it still says 0.00% progress on both my GPU and my CPU. Not sure how big the work units are but if they are tracking it in 0.00 increments, shouldn't it have made some progress?
2:I signed up with the passkey because it says it give bonus points to the team but when they emailed me my passkey it said it changed my name to Travis_ because Tbaggerr had troublesome characters. Will this affect me getting the Team ECF title? (Not that it would prevent me from participating, I just like titles )
