    well, shutting down as I type this and will be heading out in about a half hour. This first leg of the trip is down to Oregon for a week. Then back for three days and then off to the mountains of Northern Idaho. So I'll see ya a week from Sunday (tomorrow) evening. Yup, I'm excited about it AMDave. I have my son's from Tennessee and North Dakota joining me along with their families for the first leg of this, which is a family reunion kind of thing. My better half (for this trip anyway lol) decided to spring for this for my birthday present this year as it's been nine years since we have gotten together. Then for the second leg to Idaho, my son in law and I will be making that jaunt as we do every year. The Idaho one has turned into an old farts social really. We've run the same trails for years, but we all just get together to do this on the Idaho-Montana border just to shoot the breeze and yak about what's gone on the past year........... And naturally of course to solve all the problems in the world... although I can't think of any of our grand solutions that any of the world leaders have chosen to follow! lol :-)

    And than after that I'll get on with the full press to reach 1,000,000 in f@h. Wow, this room is quiet now with only one system running which will be off shortly. The A/C unit is sure loving it though!!! heh heh

    And when I'm at the top of a mountain covered in dust coughing, I'll think of ya AMDave and how you're so "envious"! lol

    Yup, just sitting here thinking about it... can't help it... too tired. Was good to get some sleep in my own bed again, but am still a bit exhausted from the trip. Got a lot of sun. Came back to temps in the high 90's. So only clicked on a couple systems for the short time I'm back to fold. This has the poor old A/C pulling double duty. :-)

    Temps have been crazy over here in Arkansas, we are everyday in the high 90's or 100's... The A/C has barely time to rest... and it's not the peak of summer yet.

    My temps were well over 60C with just 2 core crunching so I under-clocked my rig from 2600GHz to 2000GHz.
    But now I've just fitted an Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 and crunching with all 4 cores at about 52C at 2400GHz.
    Result.
    Darkness isn't there, but you can't see through it

    ya, I played that game too, put one of them there H50 coolers on a intel quad. It's running much cooler now with four cores going max. Finally had to quite taking the trips all over the place and sit at home for a while. So will play around a little more with some f@h and try to stir the pot up a bit.

    I think my x4 9950 was running almost 80 c with the stock AMD cooler. It ran like that for a few years without any trouble. I haven't had a CPU die yet.
