The Frozen Penny has broken the ice on it's last WU..... At least as a 'frozen' Penny... The good buddy has decided to give up it's chilly home so I can transfer the phase cooler to the new Nehi rig. (Sniff)...such an emotional moment.... Let it stand that when I took it down, it still held the record for the fastest 4 core rig ever on Seti. I will bring it back up on air cooling, but I have no idea how it will respond after being run so hard for so long in it's frozen state. I can only hope that the Nehi responds to it's frozen treatment nearly as well as the Penny did. And as the Nehi shivers and says...'Help, Mr. Wizard, I don't wanna be an ice cube...', the saga continues... Wish me and the kitties luck folks....it might be a long night.

Mine is still air cooled with the crappy stock fan and it now is my top 3 machine - thing is the other two machines are dual CPU/die systems and my Nehi is a single CPU/die. Can't wait to see what Mark can get out of his rig. Good luck Mark ID: 842331 ·

Just completed the build and fired the phase cooler up.... Reaching -34.6c with no load.... 'Bout ready to hit the power button.... Spin 'er up....ramming speed.....or not. Here we go.....

Someone is still using a CPU to crunch? . . . My brief foray into using CUDA led me to decide that machines capable of many simultaneous threads may well be better off with the 'traditional' optimised apps. ID: 842367 ·

Agreed completely - CUDA has enormous potential but is not yet ready to compete with optimized apps when it comes to Quadies. My foray has proven it true as well. ID: 842375 ·

Im to lazy to upgrade to new apps :) I could run a frozen system if it was waterproof. We got 2 feet of snow and its plenty cold.... ID: 842461 ·
