The Equipment Rant Thread

[Skuggi]

Another hallmark of folding team threads is the Equipment Rant thread. (At least back in the day.) This is where you can come to blow steam when one of your computer part's blow up!

So I'll start this one off too!

So my score hasn't been going up because I've finally diagnosed my new GTX 680 from EVGA is bad, it's getting RMA'd Seems to be a circuitry issue as it's causing my 12v rail to fluxuate at times. Luckily I do have to say EVGA has some good support and I'm getting my new one Cross Shipped next day as soon as it's approved and I'll be back up and in the game I hope the new one is as good of a bin I was getting 1110 clocks stable.

Well at least my order for boba's shipped today.

Great idea for a thread Skuggi Have to agree that EVGA has good support. I've always been an Nvidia girl, usually do my buying from Newegg and have never had a problem if I needed to RMA anything.

i can rant on and on about my equipment lol but it is pointless because my machines are low spec and run Linux so they can do more with less and chug on forever. In the end to me it is about the contribution not the points.

So I have just about decided to give up; on folding on my Radeaon HS 6950 2GB OC edition. I have rolled drivers forwards and backwards, changed sdks, changed a few settings, removed the OC.........and she still will not fold. Just sits there at 0% and unavailable

I had to quit using my GXT285 because it overheats it, but I can't afford to upgrade it right now. To me it's like OS said...it's not about my progress up the ranks, so it's ok with me to just fold on 2 of my 4 cores and my single core laptop
