Its been a few weeks im thinking of going back to folding. I already done a little bit of folding back in my I7 920 and GTX460 days but i want do come back at it since my HTPC GPU is nearly alwais sleeping like a baby and i feel the need of putting it to work.
I know this is not that much but i offer your team my GTS450 in all its glory to fold for the team nearly 24/7. Im now reading/posting on the forum for 3 yrs and this the best of all the english forum i read/post on. (Im french from Quebec/Canada).
Im at work currently but ill teamview my HTPC and set it up in the next min/hour depand on the time i have to do it today.

Boinc is now up and running on my HTPC wich is a 2500K @ 4ghz with a GTS450 but the GTS450 is going be replace next week by an Asus GTX560TI DCII

The GTX560TI DCII i ordered is finally BO...
I made some change, the little GTS450 heats up to much IMO, even downclocked and downvolted, the cooling on this low end version is kinda poor. Ill see if i can do something for the card but its not computing anymore.
I now compute on both my HTPC and main RIG.
Currently running :
HTPC : I5 2500k on a Z77m-Pro @ 4.0ghz
Main rig : I7 3820 on a X79 FTW @ 4.2ghz
For the HTPC, i've set the computing to never stop on 50% of the cores and 100% of the CPU time. The HTPC only load few torrent, sometime play movie and light gaming, i dont think ill ever stop him from working. 50% of its power remaining is enough !
My main rig too is set for 50% of the cores and 100% of CPU time. I may stop the computing while gaming but ill see wich games may need more power from my CPU. I dont want to completely stop the computing while in use since 75% of my time on the main rig is some web surfing and other small task.

I finally took an Asus GTX650TI DCII for ~110$ at boxing day sales here in canada. This card pump ~80watts under full load and is nearly as powerfull as a GTX560TI Great new for my HTPC
Ill add heatsink to the VRMs to make sure they dont overheat while folding and VOILA !
