Per Core Temp reading, my quad i7 870 is 65*C, 62*C, 64*C and 64*C. Is this safe, running 18 hours daily in Distributed Computing year round? Am concerned. Any advice will be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot. joseps75

Hi:) I just upgraded my old core 2 duo with new mb=P55A-UD3 and cpu=i7-870. 4gb of ram with a cheap pci display card. It's running on Windows 7. Just to prove that Intel is correct, I used the stock HSF supplied with the cpu. It is running 70% load 16 hours daily 7days a week on Distributed...

Your question is semilar to mine. I just upgraded my 4 yr old pc. Just replaced cpu and mb with i7-870 LGA1156 and GA-P55-UD3. And I just install the supplied Intel Stock CPU Cooler. All other components are old and reuse. Even my PSU is only 380watts. At no load temp=44*,40*,45*,39* average...

[I] had this same problem with my Quad Q6600 after a while. Mine is worst because only 1 core is showing. I call Intel Tech support. It told me that the problem is the mobo, whis is the P5K-V ASUS. So I called Asus and explained the problem. The asked me to ship it back for repair. I did. then...

I just donated my older dual core box. I wish to replace it with core i7-860 or i7-920. I like i7 because of 4core/8thread capability. I will use it primarily for Distributed computing which can run 8 work units simultaneously. Which one is advantageous for my purpose? I already built last...

Hi every one:) After reading all your post, here is what I did first: Norton Security Suite is the latest release provided free to Comcast Bundle subscriber. It has a STARTUP manager which you can use what program to run during startup. What I did is check off all programs I do not want to run...

I have 3 quad boxes on Vista os. It boot to ready to use in 5 minutes. It has Norton Security Suites, Microsoft Security essentials and Boinc auto run on Distributed Computing. Is the 5 minutes bootup reasonable? I wish to make it faster.

Hi all:) I just give up trying to OC my new box. I am now content with the current default setting. I know that at no load, my cpu's temp are low (27*C, 25*C, 30*C, 25*C, 27*C,25*c) and when I resume distributed Computing with Rosetta@home at full load, my cpu's temp averages jump to 44, 47...

Hi everyone :) Where did I go wrong, or Should I just give up Overclocking? Here's my setup: I used the OC GENIE to overclock my new box while running on distributed computing in Rosetta@home with 8 threads at full load, and running cool: 45*C, 48*C, 46*C, 45*C. It boots and run but...

Hi:) I am not sure if DC can run in VM. I have not heard of anyone doing it. I think it 's kind of new. If you are interested in DC, you can check with Rosetta@Home or World Community Grid and inquire about it. joseps:)

No, I am running 32-bit and not running virtual machines. I wish I can run 64-bit Win 7. But I am afraid the 64-bit OS is not supported in Distributed Computing. I just run my boxes on distributed computing for medical research for human disease cure, its my volunteer work. I believe the...

Hi Maximus96:) I just want to share what I built the 3 nights ago Jan 31: 1) intelCore i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model $289 2)Kingston 4GB DDR3 (2 X 2GB) 1600MHz CL8 240-PIN DIMM, DUAL HYPERX $110 3)Zalman CNPS10X Quiet CPU Cooler $60 4)COOLMAX 700W ATX...

Hello:) I have $880 save for building my new home pc It will be my personal pc for all around use: Editing photos, Distributed computing for R@H and WCG, internet use, etc. It's my No.1 toy. Please give me some expert comment/advice. This is what I come up with after reading, browsing...

I believe you are in the right track. I am browsing this thread because I plan to build a box with an Intel core i7 860, a Win 7 prof . I like to read ideas in this forum just so I can do it right the first time. I am not yet sure which is the most economical mb to use. Anandtech has a good...

Hi I need some comfirmation help. One of my quad q6600 computers failed. 3 of the 4 processors are nolonger running. IS IT TIME for me to replace it. I assembled the box just 12 month ago. It is not overclocked, only runs Rosetta@home project for the last 12 months 14 hrs daily. Average...
