Nice rig! Didn't I read somewhere that 350W was too light for todays rigs? After all you are trying to drive a HDD, CD, a power hungry video card and 3 case fans...My guess is you need a bigger PS.

(LOL....I have zero idea of what I just typed makes any sense at all. I'm way, way over my head here and I should just shut up! I'm blowing smoke out of every orifice and bloviateing bigtime)

" I'm blowing smoke out of every orifice and bloviateing bigtime"

ROTFL

Well, it sounded good and techy, LOL.

Actually, not all those devices are drawing power at the same time, so 350W should be ok, but 400W sure wouldn't hurt.

BTW, it's driving 2 hard drives, a CDRW, a DVDRW, a power hungry video card and fan, 3 case fans, cooler fan, MB fan, 5 USB ports, flash card reader, compact card reader, a floppy drive, a web cam, network port, and voice/fax modem, heheh. (printer, speakers and monitor have their own power supply).

Don't feel bad, I cooked two procs and or mobos last week. One was on my Soyo Dragon+ board also. Got some serious shopping to do this week, hope to get them back up next weekend.

amigatec, can you remember Amiga computers? I see from your profile that you are Linux based.

Are the P166s fast enough to run Linux? They sure don't do well under XP bloatware

Yes I used to use Amiga's absolutely loved them.

Also the P166's are running Linux, one is my firewall and the other is my test box. Both used to run SETI until they shut it down.

Hey thanks for the cool link.

Someone put together a nice little calculation page for figuring out PS needs.
Nice.

I'll use that to check my systems. Thanks again.

Ouch - that's gotta hurt.

Good Luck on getting them back up and running - we need all CPUs we can get.

We have 460 CPUs!

It would be nice to reach 500 by the end of the week.

That's awesome.

We're up to 461+28=489

Just 11 more CPUs and we'll reach the 500 CPU milestone

Let's go FR!

I see the climb to 399 from 499 is starting to get steeper.
Now, every time I check team overtake, we're trying to pass teams 3000 - 5000 points ahead of us. But as long as we continue to pass 10-12 teams per day, that's progress.

It may take us awhile to get in the top 100 in total points, but we're solidly in the current top 100 of active teams, for posting points.

Also noted, that SISD, has slowed down in their daily production. As noted before, they were a school district, that probably did this as an "over the holidays" experiment.

They're down to about half of what they were producing, when they passed us like a bat out of hell... and now, we're gaining ground on them. :)

On a personal note... I'm freaking... trying to figure out where 10 of my CPU's went to. Only 97 are active, out of 107 registered.... I know of one that I've taken off-line, because of the cpu load, but where in the *ell did the other 9 take off to... ?

Do you have any old, slow processors that are chewing on large folds that take over a week?

If you live anywhere near a Fry's...never, ever go to this site. It is evil and far worse than criaigslist and will lead to a divorce or worse!

Well, I dunno about that... it all depends on whether one's spouse is as geeky as you are.

Since I'm married to Kingu and want one of his good ol' home-boy blade systems REAL BAD, something tells me that all Fry's will do to us is make us go broke!

That reminds me of a couple I know, they don't fight over whose turn it is to do the housework, but they're constantly battling over who moved the wireless access point around, to improve the reception in their respective offices....

Good thought...I'll check into that.

Mostly though, I've found a few that have hung up, in downloading a new protein, and I have to manually start and restart the service... but cycling through the farm takes time... up till now, I've only been checking to see if they're still folding, not what, and how long :)

Since I sit right next to the wireless access point, I get the best reception. No problems here! :)

(In all honesty, we gave up futzing with the access point a long, loooong time ago. We found a place where it gave us the best reception in most locations in the house. Now we just need a booster so we can sit on the front porch while online. Pitiful, ain't it?)
