    Accidentally blocked BOINC with Comodo

    Hey guys, I seem to have made a mistake with Comodo Internet Security when a popup came up for BOINC and I clicked block instead of allow, and "remember this" was ticked, now BOINC won't connect to any servers at all. I've gone through the list of events and can find the event which I...

    SMP Won't DL -bigadv Units?

    Hey, my client stopped downloading bigadv units a couple of months ago after it trashed too many. I always assumed it was going to download them again when the completed WU ratio went back up now its stable again, but its still stuck on 4500 point units and only doing 22k PPD. I have the...

    TeAm Project Poll - Shortlist Thread

    After the problems with Orbit, etc in October, everyone splitting off into different projects in November, and the sheer excitement and massive success of the f@h and PG races, I think the TeAm could now do with deciding what single project to focus mainly on in Feb/March. As this is a...

    PPD per Watt

    I thought it would be a good idea to pool information on what PPD/Watt we are achieving with various configurations and clocks in f@h. Would those of you with kW meters be willing to contribute? I'll kick things off...all figures taken from the wall at 245V. Monitors not included. Box 1 has a...

    Anyone suffering from connection problems?

    I lost 4 full days work due to a connection failure while I was away at my parents, and I was very annoyed about it! ;) So much so that I have decided to buy a redundant router that will switch to mobile broadband in the event of a failure...

    3.5G Failover Router

    I'm fed up of my intermittent 50Mb cable connection and want to protect it with a failover router using an existing 3.5G USB dongle that I already own. Can anybody recommend a good wireless failover router? It needs to allow automatic switchover from a primary ethernet connection to a 3.5G...

    Any OOP Gurus?

    Hi, I'm struggling with my programming assignment. We have to use animation and graphics in C# to demonstrate a scientific principle. I was hoping to do either conservation of momentum or Brownian motion, and either would need 2d "balls" moving, bouncing off the "walls" and colliding with each...

    4870 White LinesOf Death?

    Hey, I hope someone can help, I have a strange intermittent problem with my video card. It is water cooled and overclocked to 790MHz core. Neary every video I play on youtube (or any other website using that sort of embedded player) causes my screen to flash - displaying around 100 white...

    Tips on OCing PHII 940?

    I have a Phenom II X4 940 with a very, very small overclock. I'm keen to improve this but I'm not sure where I am going wrong. I have tried every feasible thing I could think of in BIOS, but while I can POST at 3.8GHz, I can't get Windows to load at anything above 3.3GHz. I can reach 3.3 at...

    Socket 775 HSF bracket?

    Hi, I just put together a system using a Q6600 with the stock cooler from a Q9650, which obviously is inadequate for overclocking as I'm getting 66C load already. I already own a spare Thermaltake 103 http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/174-2/Thermaltake-Fanless103-Heatpipe-CPU-Cooler/ which...

    OpenCL with C#?

    Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to use C# and OpenCL together, simply because I am lazy and don't really want to have to learn more C as well as C#, C# is nicer and I just want to write some GPGPU FFTs using OpenCL. I am way out of my depth but I have a couple of years to study what I...

    Affordable DDR2 mobo for gpu farm?

    Hey guys, I didn't quite want to pay for the GTX 260s so decided to opt for some 8800GTs instead for now. Managed to get hold of 3x Accelero S1 Rev 2s and 4x 8800GT 512MB cards for around £280 altogether and I'm planning to use them in a 3 node ATX folding farm fit into a set of Ikea drawers...

    Folding with gpu2 on mixed cards

    Can the 4870 run happily at 4x PCI-e?

    Hi, I'm considering getting a second card for my ASUS board (see sig for specs). The board has 3 full-size slots: 1 at 16x, one at 8x and one at 4x. If you use the 8x slot then the 16x runs at 8x instead. I have one 4870, and I am considering getting either another 4870 or a 4870x2. I...

    Using folding at home to test stability.

    Just a quick question to any of you expert overclockers who know the odd bit about folding@home... Can I use F@H instead of Prime95 to stress my computer after an overclock, to determine whether it is stable or not? Are there any areas that will not be stressed enough to declare the OC as...

    "System" using 4-7%CPU on 4870

    Im running the GPU2 client on a 4870, with the SMP client on the Phenom. Recently I noticed that as well as FahCore_11.exe using 22-27% of CPU constantly, there is another process launched by the GPU2 client called "System" which uses 4-7% of CPU. This is with the SMP not running and a very...
