AMD Users RACE - Finished!!

[plonk420]

speaking of coolers, The Dark Knight uses the stock AM2/AM2+ (maybe even 939?) .. uhm .. clamp thingies -- one thing i've been looking for since losing my zalman custom attachments on one of their 7000 series coolers. (ie, like the 9500 AM2)

Here's a great CPU that works like a horse and OC's nicely. Its only defect is the manufacturer, but we can overlook that can't we fellows?

I don't know man... that is a lot to ask for

[BlackAdder]

Hiss..Hiss... the picture of that cursed Intel box is like a cross to a vampire.... hide it from my eye's please !!!

[vaughan]

I'll race with this 145058 computer. Single core.

What's with this rubbish?

Vaughan, I don't see that computer id in your Rosetta account . I wanted to see if it pays to fire mine up or leave it hibernating in the corner.

Never mind, I found it in the archives.

[NeoGen]

You're in vaughan.

About that error... I have no idea. I've been running Rosetta ok here. What boinc version do you have?

for our use, i'd say yes except for i7. AMD may have their hands full with this one (just see its 2nd pass x264 encode times).

mobo is a bitch of an investment (i have only once before paid more than $90 for a mobo). i had to buy a third party northbridge cooler, too, since MSI effed up. i guess i'll have a story after the contest...

boinc 5.10.30

[NeoGen]

Some projects already require newer boinc versions, I don't know if rosetta is one of those... but with v6.6.20 here everything runs ok.

[PcManiac]

I agree, I am running 6.6.20 without any problems related to BOINC...
the problems I am running into today are completely coffee related... or lack thereof.
I decided that if I was going to OC my computer, I had better use some Artic Silver 5 thermal compound rather than the stuff that comes on a retail HSF.
I scraped all the old stuff off, applied a nice thin layer of the new stuff...
popped it all back together, and bumped up my "MHz"...
for some reason, my computer wouldn't get to vista... just a boot-loop.
so I entered the setup again, and checked the "PC Heath" status.
the CPU temp was 44c and climbing!! Crap!

I looked inside my computer, and the fan was not moving... yeah, I never plugged it in

so I blame the lack of coffee!!! hehe

oh... and the 4200+ doesn't like to run at 2.7+ Ghz...not on stock air anyway...
