these days with new cpu release cycles averaging perhaps 6 months or less, i'd guess, if you shop around, you may be able to get a 'hand me down' used PC for a cheap bargain which may well be quite a performer :)


As far as second hand used to go.. I used to use dell outlet, then timo pointed to lenovo in general, I noticed they also have an outlet. They are charging 350 for quad core i5 complete builds. Which if you figure out a i5 chip is worth 200 bucks, and a copy of windows 100, I would say if you arent builting a multi gpu computer, your be better off. Alot better off. But then again if you build a multi gpu machine, you would be alot better off on points generated, as well as power saved. ya digg.

Yea im trying to get a couple of people to run folding@home on their laptops, for the fact it uses alot less ram. But so far no one in my family actively folds, credit to them having extremely slow computers and being fine with it. But ya know 6 family members, and parents cousins and such, no ones interested. I did a recent push for two of my family members, my only first cousin on my dad side ran it, but I really dont think hell keep it on knowing him. My brother in law with a i7 laptop said he would wait till I came over and he thought it sounded interesting. But cutting to the nitty gritty, my 1st cousin has a i3 5005u. I started folding on a amd dual core 8 years ago, and this is 8 years newer, and hyperthreaded. It has integrated graphics, and 4 gigs ram. I told him I would buy him a cooler stand if he ran the program. You think he could successfully run fah? maybe set it to use 2 of his hyperthreaded cores or something? Also I am looking for cooler stands, and right now im looking at this which has the highest fan airflow, or cfm I could find. Anyone got something better, cause I personally hate laptops. They are fine if you want to spend top dollar for something you can only upgrade the ram in. But heres the stand im looking at:

Like I said, I dont have any experience in laptop coolers, so if you have one that you love let me know.

well they dont have any tasks to run, pity, I thoght about it and one thing I didnt say, wcg stays at about 40% ram usage while rosetta uses at least 20% more, this is on 12gigs. So technically rosetta@home is the most resource hungry project, without counting gpu's

While I started rosetta@ home in what looks like october of 08. I found this after switching up accounts, but didnt keep old account long enough to gain any significant points. Having about 8 years of boinc experience, I knew that all the stuff I read and heard would come in handy. This being said I heard energy conservation on world community grid was the most cpu intensive task on boinc of fah. This intrigued me but I could personally never tell a difference. So I ran fah rosetta and wcg writing down all of my cpu temps. wcg made my cpu at least 5 degrees hotter. Anyways, thats where Im at if anyone wants me, Name: JohnMichaelMontgomery

Well I added the artic mx 2, didnt do much but drop it a couple of degrees actually, where max was like 55 or 6 not its 51, get alot of around 48. I did have some cooler master thermal paste on their from a aftermarket cpu, must of not been such bad stuff. Plus I put a pretty thin application as to be on the safe side. Bill Gates quote about success being a lousy teacher haunting my intall. lol peace
This also doesnt conduct electricity so its not like liquid silver or anything. Gotta protect the investment.

I was a member of gpugrid.net for a long time, their members are the best when it comes to message boards in all of boinc or folding @ home in my opinion. Ask the most random question and they will do their best to answer it. So one day the topic of liquid cooled vs air cooled came up and the consensus was a liquid cooled system will given time eventually leak. Otherwise I would have definately tried my hand at it, to much buzz surrounding it not to. But besides that I have absolutely zero experience with liquid cooling.

Maybe I didnt read it exactly clearly, and maybe I can manually set my standard turbo boost see if that helps. Another day another dollar. The thing is, I cant overclock this cpu no matter how hard I try. I did have success with overclocking the turbo and that is it, I just wanted to protect my system. But 3.9 is better than 3.7, gotta catch em all.

I know that my bios doesnt have this option. But on the cooling note the Noctua NH-U12S can run full rpms and drop my cpu 15 degrees without making a sound. Supposed to get some ARCTIC MX-2 in the mail today. To bad I only have one awesome heat sink. Should get to about 40 degrees, its at 50 now, was at 65. Mobo does fan control setting.

I remember one time they said running at cooler temperatures creates better results. Then I read a old cpu engineers google post about how it makes absolutley no difference. Any ideas on what to expect? I didnt care for the longest but thought I came across a document on intel when I was updating chipset and hard drive rapid store, something about keeping the cpu below 40, who knows.

this is a consistent turbo boost problem for me. I stopped oc'ing. Get easily agitated and wasnt working for me. Now im faced with this.

well it aint movin. dunno why. I reformatted my laptop with windows 7, installed all the updates. It just sits there and doesnt do any research, but lags my computer. Ill check back see if you know what the problem is I guess. its an i7 toshiba s665-a6605. 8 gigs ram so it should be fine on that front. I always have problems with rosetta for some reason. First kept bouncing from 50 to 100 percent on all my computers, then I found a fix for that (windows c++ 2008 redistributable x86) now i do a fresh install and it just hovers at 10%.

Ram really is essential and I would rather have to much than to little. But yea reason 8 gig minimum is because thats all those perticular boards could hold, lol.

world community grid is good for your computer. less ram usage.

Yea I put definatley recommend putting swap file usage to lower. I personally have mine all at 50% because I dont want to hurt anything, but I also have 8 gigs minimum of ram on my computers. World Community Grid is nice if you dont have alot of memory. One of my computers im rebuilding only has 4gigs, so it might need to do world community grid till i get some more money.

Yea ive done multiple gpus, i find that as long as the fan is 100% unlocked its fine. Ive had no problem with evga and gigabyte but asus was locked at 85 %

Well the problem here is expansion, I dont like buying all the extra stuff, moniter, keyboard, mouse, cd rom, hard drive. So basically I did alot of research on it and am pretty sure it will work, but with expansion and no experience with backplate install, tho I assume* it would be easy, Im going with the gigabyte ud7. That way I only have to pay 300 dollars one time on a power supply to support four 570 gtx's for gpugrid.net. I would have liked to try it as xeon is built to run 24 hours a day and do math really well, its just expansion kinda got to me.

Also when it comes to xeons some are thinner than others i figured out which is something else to take into account.

Well I started looking at the thermaltake website. Since a computer is only as strong as its weakest link Im going to get a good one, and it has alot of information on cpus, i think people should definatley buy thermaltake cpu fans after seeing there website.

so obviously i was missing exactly what the tdp meant, as i just find cpus with stock coolers, so yea i did take it into account, just didnt know the meaning.
