Does it get to hot upstairs in the man cave with all the machines running, or just lonely????? or did the W.O.P.R. computer he built take up the whole room and he was forced into the house...... after the holiday's we need to have an intervention :hug:
The kids complain that it's cold upstairs in the morning. Fixed that! It's like a sauna in that room! 
Is there such a thing as a computer slob? If he thinks he is leaving that set up all the time he is sadly mistaken :witch:
I just realize the laptop is not even in the picture
Pfffffttt, that's nothing here is my current setup. The 'mess' on the floor is the new folding machine.
I'm building a bracket for it today to hold more video cards and a plywood box to hold it all since I don't know of a normal case that will let me 'float' cards 4~5 inches above the MB.

Pat:
Have you had any problems running your 460 at 920? I just run mine at 850 with the memory at 1900 and it's good for 11500 PPD on heavy jobs with the -advmethods flag according to HFM. It only runs at about 44C. I just recently removed the flag.
Also,
I have been waiting on parts, cards, etc. I had a delivery last week from NewEgg that on the confirmation said, "LEFT WITH BOY." There's only one problem with that. . . THERE IS NO BOY HERE! The house south of mine is for sale and empty. The house to the north is a couple with no kids. There aren't any houses across the street. So, I'm going through the claim process with UPS.

I can run at 920mhz IF I run fan-speed high, and leave memory clock stock. And I don't run -advmethods. With -advmethods I have to turn it down to 850'ish. Make sure you turn the voltage up to the max (1.087v) if you want to go max clock speed.
If you want points, REMOVE the -advmethods flag. The new advanced jobs are tailored toward GTX470/480/580. The 460/450/430's are not really big enough for them.

How long are the larger 50,000,000 step WUs taking with the 460? I was getting almost 16000 PPD estimate in HFM. Now, mine has a TPF of 1:46 which means almost 3 hr for a WU worth 912 points. I'm working on 11261.
With the -advmethods flag, I can turn out a WU worth 1298 points in a little less time even working on 6800.
:WTF2:
EDIT: Apparently if I go above 850, my card is not happy. I tested it higher and didn't get any artifacts but when I run the GPU3 client the speed drops off. The client never becomes unstable. . . just loses speed.
I may do some fine tuning later but that will work for now.

Oh heck, turn off the computer monitors if they don't like all that heat.... :rofl:
Poor Hamsters....
How about Kat? Nah, I bet she's on Facebook down stairs. :hug:
Holy :cussing:!
I finally got a 6800 that my GPU just can't handle. It is (R1122, C0, G30) and my PPD dropped from 11.5k with all the other 6800/6811 units down to 5664. It doesn't matter if I'm overclocked or stock. It is consistently taking a TPF of 3:18. I am usually at around 1:38-1:40.
Every little bit helps so I didn't dump it like the folks just after points are doing but damn. It is trying to kill my video card.

Mines been running about 9.5k since the 6800s came out, I was doing 15k or so before that. And it does seem like that room is warmer now.
Question for you guys. I just started one of my machines, but I have a quad core machines and an old p4 that I can fire up. Do I need seperate users on each machine or do I just put my name in on each one that I am running. Never did this before but ive heard of it many times. Is there any way to schedule FAH to run only at night? Theres 2 other quad core and several p4 and amd machines that sit at idle every night.

You can use the same user on every machine (that is what I do). There has to be a way to schedule FAH to run at night, but I don't know off the top of my head. I'll look into it when I get some free time. Hopefully someone will jump in and answer that sooner for you, though.
I'm thinking my desktop might have turned off...cause looking at my stats doesn't look like its went up any.
Start, click All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scheduled Tasks.
open it and double click "Add Scheduled Tasks" follow thru the menu.
one more dumb question, why is my quad core machine only running 25% cpu usage when my AMD is running 100%? i checked in task manager and its allowed to use all 4 cores.
With machines that have more than one core, you should try SMP (Multicore) jobs. Read this:
