The motherboard is a EVGA 780i. New system is in specsST
P.S - That board looks like an EVGA 790i SLI Board.
I got a 6701 when I first started up the smp2 on this rig and that WUs what made my power supply over heat( Smell weird) with out the fan working, I only got 2% of it done and had to shut it off, I think the PPD was showing around 4500 with the smp2 doing a 6701 WU. I figured all the SMP2 WUs would run hot so I never tried another smp2 WU.For those of you still SMP2 folding, there's a new "horror" WU out there.... 6041 is the new 6701....

Haven't had that one yet (still doing windows bigadv). What kind of numbers you seeing?
6040 and 6041 have been out for a long time, and they run better for me than 6701 does.For those of you still SMP2 folding, there's a new "horror" WU out there.... 6041 is the new 6701....
SMP2 units don't run especially hot, and the fact that your PSU failed is because it's a piece of crap, not because your CPU was being overstressed. That unit is manufactured by Wintech, a company that has since gone out of business and was known for making very explodey PSUs during its lifetime.I figured all the SMP2 WUs would run hot so I never tried another smp2 WU.

I dont think my CPU was being overstressed, I think my CPU folding at 100% is overstressing (overheating) my PSU with the fan not working. The PSU is working good to surf the web but I think the extra power draw for folding or gaming will make it meltdown or explode. I was thinking about taking out 1 GTX 260 to lighten the load on the PSU.SMP2 units don't run especially hot, and the fact that your PSU failed is because it's a piece of crap, not because your CPU was being overstressed.
