Yeah, it's pretty cool. Glad I found it. It meant I didn't have to buy a new laptop to keep up with current games! Now, I'm still planning to buy a new laptop when ivy hits, just because I've been looking at the same laptop for ~4 years now. Need a change I'm hoping it'll have switchable high performance nvidia graphics, then I'll sell my eGPU set up. I don't game that much, but seeing as how I only had to pay $170 ($100 for 460, $40 for adapter and $30 for psu) to be able to max games on either my internal screen or an external one, I'd say it was worth it!

Some awesome folding going down! I need my M17x R2 to do a large WU unit again. I average more PPD doing the large ones than the small ones that are worth 300-400. The larger WU's are approximately 24 hrs but worth 8000pts. I need to gain some ground on TurboTalon .


EDIT: We should be hitting 10 Million points as a team sometime later today or early tommorrow! Awesome! Thats a lot of points

Just finished secure erasing, installing Windows and enabling the LPM fix.
If the SSD malfunctions now when i do a folding run then bye bye drive. >_>

Im gonna give it all to help us reach a team score of a 10 million. xD
Who would have known notebooks pack this much firepower.

Yea, I'm definately impressed with what we've been able to accomplish. Definately awesome work.

Any chance that SSD is under warranty? I know I bought an intel drive off the forums from somone and when it died, I called intel and they had no issues about replacing it. Great customer service from them.

So I have finally gotten around to installing F@H, and I *think* it is working??

See screenie.

I have to say, I am nervous about leaving my computer running unattended at full loads with all my clocks on

Would be nice to easily flick my GPU's to stock whilst folding.

Its only 6 months old and since i bought it when i ordered my Clevo its covered by the same warranty.
But im not looking forward to going back to keeping the OS on my HDD.

Awesome Douse! Welcome! Be sure to enter your User ID, and GET A PASSKEY! If you havn't already...

But definately keep an eye on temps. my CPU (stock) doesn't go over 80°C at full load for 100+hours and my GPUs never go over about 73°C. All my things are stock. So if you want, you can undervolt and run stock which should help. May also help stability as F@h is more intense then most benchmarks so it can easily lead to failed work units. So keep an eye on the log for the first few days.

From your screen shot it looks like things are running well. Do you have any overclocks? If so definately keep an eye on the log to see that work units are not failing as I metioned earlier, but otherwise things look good.

Ahh yea that would suck and be slow, but hopefully you can get it RMAed or something.

And its folding again.
I cleaned out the fans but temperatures only dropped by 5c but at least my fans are much more quiet.

Btw NBR is pushing it into the 799 league soon.
