I tried to get my GPU to work under ubuntu but still no luck. Updated the drivers but nothing. I'll fiddle with it some more but will let the well dry in case I have to switch back. Just hope the new drivers for windows works better than before. Finally found a E5472 on eBay. Bidding on it now. With 2 of these, should crunch around 32000 ppd. My dual E5420's are averaging 25000 ppd now. A little more help for the team (if I win the bid). There are some known issues with Ubuntu and video cards not working properly to crunch, depending on whether installed manually or from repository. see here: [url]http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=6307[/url] |

I got tired of messing with it so am back on windows for now. So far so good with no restarts from GPU crunching. Decided to try dropping 2 threads to see if this helps.

Got the PSU installed and have been running 8 cores and the GPU for a couple hours now and it has not rebooted yet.

I could not get boinc to recognize my ATI GPU even after adding more time, as was suggested to do. Running good so far with the latest ATI drivers.

Warming the house with it Seriously though, it is running perfectly now for several hours. I figure it is using less than 500 watts so it should be running at 90% efficiency or a little higher.

Are the 1000 watt psu's different as far as cabling or anything compared to smaller psu's? Looked at one for my system but wasn't sure if I needed that much juice. Grabbed a 850 watt instead.

It was about 1/2 inch longer but fit nice and snug.
