Those little annoying F@H things ..

Likely the SSD as few people fail to recognise an unstable clock when they fold on every rig they've clocked

OCZ stuff isn't that reliable in my experience. Often it appears to be working but when stressed claps out.

Have a similar boot problem on this ITX rig

i was afraid of that because i like the speed of it and now its gonna cost a lot to buy a 'good' ssd, i should have just not been cheap in my initial purchase

and yea i don't think it would be my OC since sometimes it runs for days folding and with me doing schoolwork and youtube on top, but randomly it blue screens and when it tries to reboot the SSD isn't recognized so i get that boot error...... SO annoying

Oh, well that's different. BSODs mean it could well be your OC. Until you get boot errors only you need to scale back your clock little by little till the BSODs stop - and if they don't stop at stock clocks then it's probably your SSD.

4.25Ghz does that on my 1090T but 4.125 doesn't. (BSODs) then CL7 (rated CL9) RAM causes all manner of issues along with high HT Link (corruption and graphical positioning errors).
 
Thats exactly why I went with a Crucial M4 when I got my SSD. I was looking around and the reviews were saying to get a sandforce based SSD.

Looking a little further into it turns up that the Sandforce chipset is causing problems for people... inc BSOD

yea, but see it happened all the time, since i built the rig, even at stock clocks, (i had it at stock speed for a week or two a while back because i tried to have a 5ghz 24/7 clock.... which seems have to degraded my chip because i couldn't go back to the 4.8 which was stable as a rock) right now its just sitting at 4.5ghz which i'm happy with.

i know

... i'm thinking of saving up and buying an intel ssd (they have been said to be THE most stable) but they're pricey, so i might either go with that or a crucial m4 or lastly a kingston (again highly rated for speed and stability)

The intel and crucial SSDs are the same. However intel guarantee more writes. There shouldnt be any difference between the two, maybe intel gets higher quality chips, maybe it's just a deal bewteen the two companies to seporate their products on the market.

Either way you cant go wrong with either but intel guarantee a bit more peace of mind.
 
just need the money now
tongue.gif
lol probably have to wait till summer, to make some money (being a student kinda sucks)

EDIT -- i don't know about the warranty of the m4 but i just saw that the intel 520 ssd actually comes with a FIVE year warranty ... dam --

On another note, i have a question because i've noticed that on my gpu with -advmethods i get more ppd, BUT on my cpu i actually see about 2k more ppd WITHOUT -advmethods. anyone else care to confirm if they have a similar cpu (2500k)

With -advmethods you get these 8032WU´s wich are 4xxxPPD more, but take a lot of the CPU cycles.. so less PPD on the CPU.

Greetings Ray........
 
Oops just NOT the 8032WU's those are great
biggrin.gif
, as they hardly take any CPU cycles < My bad,

its the other beta WU's that take a major hit on the CPU !

Yes, I believe that you are referring to the 7612-13 WU's. Those are in advanced and the 8031-33 WU's are mainstream so no advmethods=no 7612-13's

Sad news guys, possibly going to be out of folding for a while
sad.gif
Mainly reason being due to high cpu temps, im hitting 92c and systems freezing and i've lost a few WU recently because of this. i'll down my clocks hopefully that keeps temps down until i watercool

Its frozen three times within the space pf 5 minutes so i dunno its the hdd or temps
 
dipzy, sorry to here that hope u get a wicked WCing set up

On the topic of heat and such, i have been living with ALL my rig's fans on 12v and i knew it wasn't super quiet, it was actually just a tad bit loud (but it in my room and i slept there for months, so it wasn't THAT bad) BBBBBBBUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT i just (right now) found one of those molex fan pass through cable, and it 'moded' it (well just changed the wires) so that instead of 12v all my fans would be fed 5v, and OMG what a difference, i mean DAMM i can hardly hear ANYTHING, its so dam quiet .

thats all good, but how do u think my temps will be effected in the long run? my cpu temps while folding maxed out at 55C and now i see the max at 60C, do u think they'll get worse after a few days?

It's not the CPU you need to worry about, its the components on the motherboard. Specifically the power circuitry around the CPU. Because it is water cooled you dont have a fanaround the socket mixing the air up.

Personally I would try the fans at 7v (use the 12v as the positive and the 5v as the negative) just to give the air around the motherboard a little more energy.
 
took my side panel off and temps are now no more than 81. Thats a 9c difference from before, would love to keep it that way but rig gonna get dusty real quick, going to down clocking cputo around 3.4ghz from 3.9ghz and see what difference
 
I have kind of got a temporary solution, in the bios i turned the cpu fan right up to 90% and with side panel on, highest im hitting is 84c. Not a massive drop but its still some 6-7c off, gives me more time to consider my water cooling plans

Hitting 88c now, going to have to drop my over clock down
