Had a good cleanup and temps on my GTX 580 have dropped to 77 C when they were hitting 89 C a bit ago. Also replaced my CPU cooler, but temps don't look like they have improved by much. The hot weather obviously isn't helping, but at least the temps are not hotter then they used to be, which is a good sign.

Turned my 5870s to 100% fans now - I can't hear much of a difference - but then maybe sleeping in the same room as them on 70% has progressively deafened me
Connection issues here, none of the wired computers have internet so no points
that should really help on QRB
, crazy thing is the one wireless computer is still working, so probably a modem issue. And seeing as how its Sunday this may take a bit to get resolved....

Unstable machine on one 430 @885/ 1770, running 875/ 1750 again now - unstable machines in the night are a right PPD waster.
I'm here to complain about these new GPU work units again.
The ones worth 53xx drop my SMP by so much I was considering not folding on the 460.
And these ones worth 77xx. Gah. Fix them already. 11.5k-12k on a 560 Ti is NOT GOOD ENOUGH when they are also making SMP drop points too.
It almost feels like they don't want us to fold on domestic hardware anymore with all the PPD fluxuation thats been going on with a trend towards worse PPD over all.

its probably because they slowly want to reduce the ppd of current hardware, so that gives them room for new hardware to come. what i mean is once the 600 series start folding instead of giving the insane ppd, they slowly lower our ppd with what we have and then make the new gen produce about what we were getting on our 500 series when they were new (like the 580 is getting 23k ppd for me, which will probably drop sometime soon, and then the 680, which has over 1500 cuda cores, where the 580 only has 512 cuda cores, should be getting just a bit more then 25k) of course this is just MY speculation , i could be very wrong as i only have been folding ~1year

I agree with you, it's not like they'd get a very positive reaction if they announced "PPD is going to drop, tough".
Have been getting loads of fluctuation too, sometimes at 40k a day, other times down to 14k.

My temps are same as before, hovering abouts the 64-67c. When it gets too hot in my room, it does not go above the 72c mark so its all good temp wise but the ppd is soo random, dropping by as much as 3-4k even more at times by abouts 10k. My normal ppd is abouts 21k, i hope this is sorted out soon

Yup, the fluctuations are pretty extreme, but so far I've not had many that were too significant, but when they do happen the PPD is affected massively and something needs to be done to get rid of all of the inconsistencies we are seeing.

Hopefully this issue is resolved soon, only down around 100K PPD so far. Cable modem keeps dropping out and requires a reset to get going again, this really messes with F@H.
This all started after changing ISP's, the old ISP looks pretty good right now LOL.
You said previously that one with a wireless connection seems to be ok? Is there a way to share the net connection from that to your other computers while you have having this problem?
The time with wireless comp still working was a dead router, it has since been replaced. Now when it goes out it is everything out. I think Comcast uses the cheapest equipment that they can buy....
Bummer.
I have a new Modem/ADSL Router to get plugged in but I keep putting it off because everything is set up nicely in the old router. MAC address filtering, IP address' that sorta stuff.
So I need to get the new one fully set up before I swap them over so I don't get moans about intenet outage.
LOL LOL
Comcast had 3 different techs out today to fix this problem. The 3rd one installed my old Verizon/Frontier wireles router behind their Comcast router to get things to work on a short term basis. I think i'll be definetly going back to the old ISP.
The lesson to be learned from all of this is to not let your wife talk you into changing ISP's for $25 a month savings that will only last one year when your exisiting ISP has been flawless for three years...

That's a shame. In my area Comcast has been surprisingly stable, which is good because I don't have any other option for broadband.
Have you thought about buying your own cable modem? The Motorola Surfboards are supposed to work pretty well.
Just started a new WU, 6098. After 9% completion, ppd has dropped from 22,450 to 11,655 and time has increased from 13hours to 19hours 40mins
Are you using the V7 client?
I have noticed some strange fluctuations with that, but it seems more down to the estimation calculations rather than computation actually slowing down on the work unit.
On the other hand it could be a background application/process eating away a few % of cpu time which can badly dent PPD.
I found when running FAH on my Q6600 @ 3.2-3.4 ghz having Hardware monior running in the background took as much as 1000 PPD away from me while using 0 to 1% of CPU time (as seen in task manager). When getting between 8k and 10k PPD, 1000 PPD is quite a chunk to lose for an application seemingly doing nothing.
The latest HFM.net now supports V7 as well as V6 and it is supposed to correct in PPD calculations
