500k in under a year
Yay me :D
500k, in well under a year, with 2 dual core pc's blatting away 24/7. ( and now the gpu )
Main outage was 150 hours of tanpaku on the laptop that never got credited ( tanpaku is dead since mid august 08 )

I think your 1M will be within your grasp very soon with the GPU now running alongside 8)

hmm.. dodgy Psu perhaps then ..
I've put an OCZ Stealth X stream 600w in.. £10 off at Aria, £60 all in posted![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
The one that was in was a £25 job :shock:
I'll fire GpuGrid up, see how it goes
You ever had all 4 cores and gpu grid at 100% Ben ??
2 fans lol, I have a 120 on the psu ( standard fit ), 2x 90mm akasa on the 8800gt cooling a massive passive heatpipe grille / radiator, and an akasa 80 pushing air in with another pulling it out![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon/razz.gif)

As for fans, i have a fan stuck inside the PSU and 2 big fans on the front/back illuminated! :D Oooo pretty colours!
hmmm ironic maybe isn't the word, think I'd junk it personally, or keep it as a spare after fitting a decent one ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon/razz.gif)
Remember my pc has been on 24/7 for over a year with boinc hammering the dual core at 100% :D
I have both cores and gpu at 100%, I can email, browse with streaming radio etc no issues, I only exit Boinc for gaming nowadays![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Me too, gaming is the only thing that stops BOINC. But i just prefer to give the 10% cooling time :lol: The regulars on MSN will know how hot the beasty gets (probably relating back to the PSU) :shock:fellie wrote:I have both cores and gpu at 100%, I can email, browse with streaming radio etc no issues, I only exit Boinc for gaming nowadays
Aye the 10% for cooling makes sense, does it run cooler with 3 cores at 100% ??
I use rightmark, or core temp 0.96.1 to show running temps.
The Gpu fans, I have dropped the temp no end using a rad / grille passive cooler with 2 fans in comparison to the stock cooler![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
42 degrees C idle, 55 maxxed with gpu grid![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

I actually don't know if it makes a difference or not (it's all in the head) :lol:fellie wrote:Aye the 10% for cooling makes sense, does it run cooler with 3 cores at 100% ??

But i like to think it does make some kind of difference + not using as much power. I have yet to try changing the GPU cooler, and not seen how hot it gets. I will have to have a scout around for some programs to tell me.
