Stop typing already :smile:

P.S. How's your better half's recovery going?

Now how are you going to answer this without typing?

LOL... As always, women are stronger than men.

On screen keyboard?

Am I getting this???
 

When I see 10's of thousands of Available LL assignments in the 66-70M ranges here:
[url]http://www.mersenne.org/primenet/[/url]

But only hundreds TF'd to the optimal 75 bits here in that same range:
[url]http://www.gpu72.com/reports/current_level/[/url]

Is that telling me we GPU72'ers are very much NOT keeping up in LL-TF?

OR

Am I way off base?

It's a little complicated...

In the short form:

1. Many are doing DCTF'ing when it doesn't actually make much sense.

2. LLTF'ing is where the effort is most profitable.

3. Every keystroke I do costs me my recovery.

4. Once a day I examine the situation, and instruct my spiders.

5. Just in case it isn't clear, please do LLTF'ing unless it amuses you to do otherwise.

3. I will take a NULL response as a silent "GPU72 Thanks You".

5. OK....I'm convinced....starting tonight I will move my 515 Ghz back to LL (it was there for a few days... then got moved back to DC due to torn loyalties) :smile: And I will guess that "Let GPU72 Decide" is the preferred option

AND...

and give Die DC-TF Die!!! an extension on its Death Sentence.

I hadn't realized how valuable even that amount of firepower was. I'll shift to LLTF.

Shifting 1.1 THz-d/d to LLTF.

Cool.

I just added an $84 +$10 shipping eBay 580. EVGA board, with a Zalman cooler. The latter adds as much slot-blocking thickness as an Asus DirectCU cooler for such boards. Fortunately the board itself is not as long as the Asus. It's not as noisy as the Asus, flat out; but it needs to run flat out (2 fans, 3000 RPM max) to stay in the 70s C. Factory OC is 797 MHz, and while I have run it up to 848 MHz, it definitely starts feeling 80ish at that point.

I still think the best GPU coolers that I have used are the Gigabyte dual and triple fan models. At top speed they are noticeable, but not like the DirectCU ASUS 580. Still, I would say it did a better job of cooling for a decibel price.
