How is Ben-N1NP doing 150k a day folding now?

Curious what your rigs are now and how many there are! I know you were a linux guy at one point and would like to know what/how many rigs are folding away, either headless or with an OS! I read another thread that says you have at least 3-680gtx's running, but am wondering what else is in the mix!

Cheers to you bud! I haven't even been able to fold this winter here in Texas. Seems I am too close to the equater to get any temperatures below freezing. I've only seen that 1 night this winter below 32F!!

I did try to fold on my now ancient 260gtx's last month, but the temps running around 80C, is just asking for a flame out/dead card!

Any other Dev folders are welcome to post in this thread as to what you are folding with now. I'm curious to see what the median hardware is now!!

Cheers, JX99

I found that, even though these CPUs are 4-core with HT, running folding set to SMP-8 caused some resource conflicts. Setting to SMP-6 acually increased the PPD. Both are running full turbo-boost @3.9GHz.

GPUs are running a mild OC (1200MHz) and holding 44-48C under load, for up to ~68F ambient temperature. The average temperature here has been relatively low because it got cold and stayed steady cold, with less of the usual fluctuations. OTOH, low temperatures have been warmer than usual, we only got down as far as 3F this year, usually we see -5F or lower. I don't know what to do when it gets hot again, we had a week straight last year where every day was 102F or higher.

And I am running Windows because there is no support (even third-party wrapper) for GPU folding under Linux with the current v7.x client, and even with the early-return bonus points for SMP work units, the GPUs are where the big points are. The Kepler cards are not even fully supported yet, they are treated as basterd children of the Fermi platform. If they incorporate native client optimisations for Kepler, the cards could do a lot more.
