I'm happy for you both.
MORE PICS.!!!!!!

Then I tried to add my Picasa account so I could just upload them, and that hangs my phone like 2/3 of the way along the progress bar. What is going on???:confused:
Well all systems go... That H100 is nuts and huge but the temps are insanly low cant wait to play with some OC... but need to let the system burn in a bit before playing... hehe... so letting the gpu go all out tonite and hopefully slowly crank things up tomorow...
bedtime for me so have a goodnite folks...
REPOST! What an amazing set of hardware! :cool: ^:)^

Hahaha! :)) =)) Yes, MUST turn off that annoying little sleep feature! You'd think the manufacturer was trying to save you electricity or something! :DQuote:

Here is one to laugh at...

Check out the black casing whats hanging out is the 8800gt with that pcie extender cable i purchased since a dumb capacitor wouldnt let it sit in the right spot amazingly enough it runs cooler now then it ever did....
Oh did you see the stack of cd spindles well it does have a purpose... Its putting presure down on the heatsink for the cpu (broken plastic mount for the heatsink attackment)
anyhow i hope you enjoyed the pics... Will take some more once i clean off my desk and get those casings in...
Awesome! Your door opens outward?Quote:

AH man no fair yours came with an action figure...
HAAHAHAHHAAHAH!!! those are some great pics. I got my card in and running in my gaming box temporarily. I'll move it to my cruncher tomorrow.
Got the 4 5970's this Afternoon, actually sold 1 of them yesterday for $440 Netted me $405 after shipping & AMAZON taking their cut so I made over $100 on the Card, probably will try to sell another 1 & just keep 2 for a total cost of $400 to me for the 2 Cards, cheap crunching ... lol
Very nice!! Then you'll keep the other cards you have for sale? Fill those hungry pci-e sluts, err slotsQuote:

Wow. That is the smart way to subsidize this hobby. :D Big congrats.Quote:

Awesome! That means you got a smoking deal on two 6970s! :cool:
Things are running smooth finally got my casing in today and its a beast can't wait to play with it but since the wcg challenge kicked off gonna wait till the end before putting it together... FOR THE TEAM :-bd
On the OC front figured it was time to push it a bit since were needing more cpu power so overclocked the I7 2600k to 4.3ghz without having to touch the voltage how cool is that. :cool: also kicked the ram up to 1600 with better timing hopefully that will help feed that beast more wu faster :p
Oh man, that is killer! Sounds awesome, you got a heck of a deal with a CPU that O/Cs that good and then BIOS flashing your 6950s to 6970s! What a great day for your RAC and for Team SETI.USA! Many thanks, my man. :)
Can't remember the last time I was flashed :-$:cool::-$Quote:

Took a huge risk on the Diamond 6950PE52G since they sell two Dif versions on the same sku.. :-ss I figured for 210 each with a 5 year warranty I took the risk and got lucky. \:D/ Received two reference models instead of there dual fan version. SUPER HAPPY 8-}
Update: well things are still sitting on a shelf and the casing is cold and empty. When i first planned this system i didn't consider having two video cards but things change right... So purchased a 750w to replace the 650w hopefully this will be more then enough. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151087 The reason for this was im having such an issue keeping moo running at 95%+ not sure if its lack of power or something else im doing wrong. a few pics to show you what i mean.
Attachment 744Attachment 745
I doubt the power supply will make a change but atleast i will have more power then needed.
Please let me know on that! It's exactly the kind of problem going on with my bro's rig, running 1 HD 5870 on Moo! -- it gives that same problem where the %GPU usage bounces all over the place. Very strange, I never had that problem on any of my rigs before.:confused:
I have also been seeing this on my I7 rig as well. It started about a month ago. Nothing I do will get it to run at 99% like it used to. I only run 6 wu's and leave two available for the gpu's. Still looks like Coro's Pic above. I even ran F$ program to find the faster core. All was well until a month ago. I'm going to blast this whole machine and do a clean install after the challenge see if that helps.Quote:

Ah, maybe it is not on our end, then at all? If Moo! changed something, then it is on their end. Yes - it was Christmas time when I noticed this behavior on Brandon's rig - so 1 month ago.
Don't bother to "give it cores" - as you found out, it doesn't help it go to 99% anymore. I tried everything from 100% to 50% on the CPUs in BOINC, and it didn't make a bit of difference. So in the end, I left Brandon's rig crunching on 100% of the cores, because I figured may as well.
The way these projects are running, I think Collatz is looking better and better...
Thanks Duke for this bit of info. It explains much.Quote:

It might still be that the card is slowly dying and the new app just made it apparent. I'll now for sure after the challenge.
