  1. well anything will do better than the stock HSF

     

    I am so anxious for them to come, according to the tracker, they should be here by the 2nd, if i remember right...so by sat. i will hopefully be posting temps...

     

    <-----EDIT----->

     

    They are in Wyoming, Michigan and I am in Big Rapids, Michigan...according to UPS they should be at the front desk of my dorm tommorrow (Feb. 1st)

     

    Im so excited!

  2. ...An "Express Upgrade" program is available for providing free or low-cost upgrades for people who purchase computers with Windows XP between October 26, 2006 and March 15, 2007.[43] The precise costs vary between OEM manufacturers; Dell, for example, will charge $25 USD plus applicable taxes/fees to upgrade Windows XP Professional to Windows Vista Business or Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 to Windows Vista Home Premium, while upgrades from Windows XP Home to Windows Vista Home Basic will cost $45 USD plus $25USD plus applicable taxes/fees.

    ...

    Further criticism of upgrade licenses was expressed by Ars Technica's Ken Fisher, who noted that the new requirement of having a prior operating system already installed was going to cause irritation for users who reinstall Windows on a regular basis.[47]

  3. Please someone correct me if I am wrong...

     

    Retail is the full version, can be installed on a freshly formatted HDD

     

    Upgrade is a version that you can upgrade from XP to Vista, so you have to format, install XP, then upgrade to vista

     

    Like I said, correct me if I am wrong, but thats what I have always thought it was

  4. you didnt answer the question "is there any beeping?"...is there?

     

    POST card

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16815158065

     

    Basically the post card is a card that you plug into an empty pci slot, does not always have to be in, that will display an error code number on the 2 digit led display that you can then look up in the booklet to find out what the error in the post is giving you, some motherboards have this built in...when i took my A+ class in HS we were required to plug one in and create an error on the computer that would give a code and see if we could find the problem with the card.

     

    I dont have one but they can be very helpful.

  5. did you put some thermal compound on your cpu?

    check to see if your hsf is on correctly

    try with only one stick

     

    what size is your psu? it could be possible that you dont have enough power

     

    havnt looked it up yet, but does your mobo indicate where it hangs up in post before it dies? do you have a post card? is there any beeps?

  6. I know before we redid the layout of the site, there were stars that we had under our avatars, now they are blocks and also the folding members do not get these "stars" like we used to, is that going to be fixed or is it going to stay how it is now for good?

  7. and you would set this up by installing f@h 2 times to diff directories and setting the priority under the task manager?

     

    The only reason the rig is not setup and running right now is because it would be at my parents house and that thing is loud, and my parents dont want it running and keeping them away at night, they find it annnoying...so what im going to do is set it up in the garage of my parents house and use the wireless networking to keep it connected and use a crt (so i dont take the chance of an lcd monitor freezing in a cold michigan garage)

  8. I have a setup sitting at home that the next time I go home I will set back up for 24/7 folding but it is a dual processor rig...

     

    what I was wondering is if it is possible to have both cpus working on the same WU and if it is possible would that be better than having each cpu doing its own wu?

  9. I just ordered the Thermalright XP-90C cooler

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835109122

     

    and the Silverstone RL-FM92 92mm case fan

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835220003

     

    The Thermalright XP-90C is made out of all copper and the fan has max of 3800 RPMs and 80.92 CFM...

     

    2 questions,

    1) Which way should the fan be placed, blowing on or blowing off the HS?

    2) What do you think the temp difference should be? currently I am getting 61C full load (using OCCT or ORTHOS)

  10. good call on that froogle...35.99 at new egg for an oem open box version of it...ill do that and buy a better fan...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16835220003

     

    Just ordered that fan and the heat sink. It should be at my school at the end of the week so i will show you guys some pics of how much cooler it got...

     

    and thanks for all the help so far, maybe i can push a little bit further... :thumbs-up:

  11. I believe that if you buy an OEM version of windows you are just going to recieve a cd and a cd key; if you buy the retail version, you will get the fancy fold out box with the cd key printed on it, a booklet showing you why you need to upgrade, all that crap.
