I have become a little too fond of it as a system too haha! But that doesn't mean it won't be folding. It will for the most part. This thing has 3d vision as well.. and a great 7.1 soundcard with digital output and USB 3.0.. Some features I really like. I've allready watched Avatar in 3D with it...

It's actually folding for 12/14 hours a day average. It folds when I'm at work. It's a little too noisy for night folding :) I have one room all in it at the moment. It is silent, but not silent enough for that purpose haha! Still looking for an apartment. If I have a seperate bedroom then it...

I know that :P When folding I'm only running@700Mhz with the lowest vcore setting ;) This configuration is when I use it for gaming every now and then. This system has become my main rig. I prefer it to the older X2 actually..

That makes quite a difference to the score in 3dmark06 :) Here's 8819: http://3dmark.com/3dm06/16010672

Thanks for the detailed explanation Kougar! Well I think AMD cards should do much better as they now score as well.. Let's hope there will be better future support for the AMD cards too.. Anyways, I have been fiddling with my bios settings and got a better overclock out of the CPU with adding a...

Here's the graphics cards that I've owned throughout the years: Voodoo 3, Kyro 2 (that was artifacting crazy so I RMA'd it) Geforce 2 TI, Geforce 4TI, FX5700, 6200 (sadly not unlockable haha), 6800nu, GT 7950, ATI 3850 and now GT425m in my folding box..

I found an excellent ambient track there, I quite like it! Here it goes! Hope you like it :D The album is called "And the stars go with you". I think this track is the best of that album though. Some great tracks on that album. John Serrie - And The Stars Go With You...

That was a terrible event. It makes you feel sad things like that happen in this world. But yes there's still alot of good thing happening too that don't hit the news. Actually I am not kidding my sisters birthday is on that day. I remember she felt put down having her birthday when we watched...

What I'm about to say now is how I feel about it and not factual so feel free to correct me haha! I have a feeling that nVidia get more out of there cards using technologies like CUDA.. If you look at the AMD cards it looks like they are about raw power. They have a lot more shaders if you...

Thanks Kougar! That is thanks to the overclock I run on it. It's overclocked to 37% :) I've also been playing with my fan speed settings so it runs 80 degrees tops when folding now. For folding I'm running this system at the lowest possible multiplier and vcore. According to AIDA64 it's using 6...

This thing is even not so bad gaming :) I'm running Dirt 2 at 1650x1024 with high detail and 4x AA settings. Below my overclocking settings :) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!-- Benchmark Mode Results --> <!-- author: Douwe --> <!-- date: 23:39:20 on 25/08/2011 --> <!--...

I've received my little Asrock folding system today http://www.asrock.com/nettop/overvie...%203D%20Series Surpisingly I was able to overclock the GPU quite a bit! :D only sacrifising 4-5 degrees more on full load compared to the stock GPU clocks. I've ran 3dmark06 on the nVidia GT 425M to...

Thank you! I will use it for movies and music as well :) It's a nice quiet system and it has a blueray player. I've seen the bios in the reviews, and it's quite diverse with settings. I also have the possibility to play with ratio's, multi's voltages and such. So that could be a nice way to...

I have just bought it ;) That little thing is going to be my folding dedicated system :) I've found some power consumption figures... http://hothardware.com/Reviews/ASRock-Vision-3D-137B-HTPC-with-NVIDIA-3DTV-Play/?page=6

How about this for a folding machine. I was thinking of the low end core i3 with the GT 425M. It's really low power and get some folding done okay I guess. Okay it's little and it's not your average powerhouse.. but for consistent folding :D It has some other cool features as well ofcourse...

For a load wattage rig a Dothan chip with the converter and with DDR2 and PCI-E and the GT 420.. Switching to the lowest multi and letting the GPU fold that would consume almost nothing right.. ;)

It makes you wonder.. Would you benefit more from a low wattage system with low/average performance or a high performance rig which eats some more juice? For 24/7 folding I guess the load wattage system. Well when a low end card beats a midrange card in watts and performance the choice obviously...

I agree with you, for folding I'm better off with the low end nVidia card. I mean I've read it's using around 50watts in 3d mode! I have it overclocked which shows a nice performance gain folding. Overclocked it possibly loads at 65 watts or so I reckon. The load wattage of the 3850 isn't too...

Thanks awfully for that post! I've downloaded that new GPU client and am folding with that now ;) We'll see how that one does.

My goodness.. that's exactly what my findings were the other day.. I've tried using this older Dell 2,8GHz HT Prescott rig with a PCI-E slot with the nVidia GT 420 that was in my parents PC. They now have a ATI 6850 so my lil bro can do some gaming once in a while.. This GT 420 doesn't touch...
