Improbability of my RAC reaching 83,000 is falling, but normality has not yet been achieved... Your not very probable then...RAC: 84,355... I think I was getting my double negatives mixed - improbability falling ;) Ho hum. 85,000 and still rising... Slowing down, need more GPU's to get it going again. You're not gonna hit 300k RAC at this measily pace. Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it. ID: 13984 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

The 4850 with Zalman fan is installed and running. The overclock takes it right up to 750Mhz - the highest the ATI Overdrive program will go :P Just waiting for the postman with my riser so I can shoe-horn the 4870 into the other PC...

The latest 4850 with BIG fan is now tested at 730 MHz, but awaiting riser for it's new home in a small cramped PC. So I'm just firing on 2 cyliders just now, a trident due to fire up soon I hope, maybe early next week. ID: 14267 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Hope you have enough air moving in the "small cramped PC" to keep that thing cooled off. Do you happen to know if the GPU app will run on two vid cards in the same box? It's not a crossfire mobo, and, from what I have been able to find out (from Internet research), running in SLI mode actually preventsBOINC CUDA apps from accessing both nVidia cards.

SLI does indeed cause then second and third GPU to be missed and unused (as of the last drivers this is still true). ID: 14307 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Surely you can spare a thousand or two of your RAC with the less fortunate. :P Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected? If it makes sense, DON'T do it.

I once hired a small car in the USA which had 3 cylinders, which I'd never come across before. Can you imagine pulling one of the spark plugs? That's how it is for me a I guess - I hope my spark plug arrives tomorrow ;) ID: 14440 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
