Why the second part, when it gets out of hand, it not only makes OCN look bad, but it also detracts from the club too.
So, please, enjoy, share the joy and knowledge and have some fun too.

FYI, it saddens me that my power house DFI SLI DR 939 Opty 165 CAB9E is no longer in my service

At a near 3G OC with 2x1G of DDR500 GSkills, it was a great system and I too have a fond appreciation for the 939s

Further more, I still have a 146 CACJE and a 165 CCBBE with no MB worthy of the 165. Still, I do run a TForce 6100 939 with a 4400+ for folding.

The Duke, I just recently switched to a TForce 6100-939. I acquired the board from our club leader a few weeks ago. Question for you: what was the highest stable HTT that you were able to achieve? Were you able to get any applications to report the chipset temperature?

By the way thanks for clarify some confusion for us in the thread

ive been playing COD4 past few days. near the end i think. its pretty fun. too bad its so short.

i have suggested to txtmstrjoe for using F@H as a "CPU stress program" when testing stability of overclock. i think its like a first level "clearance" for me. if you cant fold, your system is hardly stable. it will detect incorrect "calculations". this is order of stability for me.

Level 1 : F@H (txt-based or SMP)
Level 2 : OCCT (30 min - 1 hour)
Level 3 : Orthos/Prime 95

Dang, i wanna know how much power my room is pulling. Lol. 3 full computers. 3 lcd's (17", 19", 24" WS). 42" Sharp Aquos. Printer (standby), dsl modem, 2 router/switch, 1 lightbulb (energy saving coiled whatchamacallit bulb), dishnetwork satellite reciever.

my electric bill was over $300 past month T_T

Time to install a "Windmill"

androo, those energy saver lightbulbs are filled with mercury. If it breaks, stay out of the room

Well, you will not have much of a choice. Incandescent light bulbs are banned in the US as of 2014.

To find your power consumption, you can either sit down with a mutlimeter and test each running item, or you can do what I did. Open up your UPS's control panel and read current power consumption.

Regards Fold@Home stability, I was simultaneously running the GUI-CPU and the GUI-GPU with my normal bag of tricks. In any event, I was running 100% load for over three hours, I am sure this clock is fine.

Now I need to find why my video drivers crash whenever I play Call of Duty 4. It has no problem running RTHDRIBL for an hour. The entire hour at 16x AA, bump map, 1920x1200x32 gives me a GPU load of 98%. Load temps do not exceed 63º C.

Play Call of Duty, and the video driver will periodically decide it is going to go south in a big way despite it only loading the GPU around 70%. This happens even at stock settings. Other games appear to be fine, but I have not played many since getting the new card.

In other news, I am planning a massive food/drink/LAN party for the club. Everyone must start saving up for gas and/or plane tickets to get here. The planned date is September 3rd of next year. That should give everyone enough time to save.

Some Club-related business (I'll make this somewhat brief, as the work sched is a bit suffocating of late):

I know I said this sometime last week, but here's an update: An announcement on our Stock Cooler OCing Contest is imminent. Expect it by the end of this week (Sunday). There are just a couple of small details that need some kind of resolution, but the Club officers' schedules have not been too friendly with each other. I thank you for your continued patience.

Second, we all must remember that, while we are part of the S939 Appreciation Club, we are also part of a larger community at large (namely, OCN). Consequently, we are obligated to observe certain rules and ways of doing things that are simply part of the way things are done here. We joined OCN willingly, agreeing to follow the rules its leadership have established, so we are honor-bound to do so. Some rules are specifically codified; others are not written anywhere but are accepted as a matter of course because that is how things have come to be. But two rules we must always be mindful of are 1) There is a right way of doing things, and by definition a wrong way as well, and 2) We must never do or say anything that will discredit OCN or our group, or bring it the wrong kind of attention. If we keep these things in mind, we'll continue to thrive.

If anyone has any questions or concerns and you feel uncomfortable with bringing it up with a moderator, PM me and I will be more than happy to help out.

I will reply back and do what I can.

Lastly, my apologies for not updating our roster. This is entirely MY fault; our Club secretary has done a good job with the roster refresh, but I am having some issues with implementing it. I will be talking to Blitz soon about this.

That's all I've got, guys and gal.

- Joe

Joe, looking forward to the announcement on Sunday. I have my DFI board prepped and ready

nategr8ns · 07-23-08

I wish I could use my DFI board for the competition

I have pulled a CMOS battery out of an old gateway and I'm going to try using that (its about 3.1-3.2V so I'm good.)
this weekend I'll see what I can do with it

boonie2 · 07-23-08

Hopefully that will work , sounds just like the problem I had , battery replacement worked for me ... good luck
