- Folding in Diamond Bar
I currently have a GTX285 and another in the mail due to an ordering mistake on my part.
The dilemma is that theres a user on another forum who offered a trade. Basically my 2 GTX285s +$40 for 3x 9800GX2s.
I know the 3x 9800GX2s will need a crap load of power, as of now my folding rig has 2 problems.
1) Its running a HX620 psu
2) I am running a P6N Diamond as the mobo which from what I read can only run 2x 9800GX2s.
The case is a Antec 300 which I think should handle the heat with the airflow.. I hope.
What to do? I also go to LAN Parties every month or so but I think we are over crysis wars finally. I end up playing TF2 and older games like Battlefield more than anything.
So don't just say PPD is increased, go for it, because I understand that. The potential problems add a twist to my plan. So if I did take the trade it would probably be a month til I can get card 2 and 3 up. Same for the GTX 285 if I kept it, but that would only be due to me ordering a VGA power supply or bigger CM PSU (the $55 refurb or 2, lol).
