Only the 1060 get any

wheat lynx
#

waiting will cost you hundreds of thousands

#

my PPD is 580k

#

ive gotten 100k in 1 day

gusty path
#

Not sure if it is the point updater not displaying properly or I have lost 900k points already

wheat lynx
#

extreme overclocking is more reliable

#

but delayed

stone flower
#

smh google cloud costs per hour and my vm is stuck doing nothing because no wus

fierce steppe
#

EOC's latest update failed

wheat lynx
#

wonderful

fierce steppe
#

check again in 2 hours

stone flower
#

yeah but I have money to spend on free trial

#

left

wheat lynx
#

that just sounds like a waste of money

stone flower
#

normally my VM is rendering
but since I have nothing to render atm

wheat lynx
#

the point is to use hardware that would be otherwaise sitting idle

stone flower
#

good point

green monolith
#

well that system has been powered and idle for a couple weeks, thought i'd put it to better use

small current
#

i have 16 attempts no wus

dreamy hazel
#

been idle for an hour now, both cpu and gpu. will change at some point in time

green monolith
#

mine is working right away

dreamy hazel
#

i only started folding this morning, had 3 WUs for my cpu and one for my GPU, nothing since then

#

but yeah, it's just the distribution servers bottlenecking

#

yes

glass path
#

I mean

odd barn
#

I had like 1 WU since this morning and I think I literally just started it

glass path
#

well I give up explaining still thanks

dreamy hazel
#

?

green monolith
#

well a ton of users started folding within the last few days

odd barn
#

a LOT of people have been folding

green monolith
#

they need to build out the servers themselves to handle the load

glass path
#

running a CPU task on my laptop always make it throttle to death

odd barn
#

but that doesn't mean we don't need less people, more is always better

dreamy hazel
#

more than 10x increase

serene swallow
#

which is great

odd barn
#

Yeah

#

I use to fold and would always have a LOT of WU's for both CPU and GPU, but since we heard that F@H is doing research for COVID, there was never a better time to start

serene swallow
#

im really happy i found this, i rarely do intensive stuff on my pc, and this is a great use for it

glass path
#

And after some tweaking and undervolting my CPU I found that I can run a GPU slot only when having reasonable temps

green monolith
#

we need some IRC back!!

glass path
#

So I'm asking is it okay to not use my CPU(or, having a CPU slot)

green monolith
#

GPU is fine

serene swallow
#

ive only been using my cpu, as my gpu is older and less powerfull, and im kinda worried about breaking it

#

gtx1050

green monolith
#

i told it to finish the CPU task and then pause now its just using my GPU

serene swallow
#

single fan

glass path
#

And if I'm sure not using my CPU should I dump the task

green monolith
#

dont want 2x Xeon E5-2650 v2's to cook my room

dreamy hazel
#

it's especially important to note that it's a common trend for things like this to spike once people like Linus make people aware of it (i, for example, never even knew this F@H thing existed) and it will boom for a short while, but then over the course of a few days or weeks it'll become much less people. Still way more people than before the boom though, so the entire project is happy to see anyone joining

glass path
#

I did some distributed computing before and some says detaching task is better than letting it time out

#

So does this general rule still apply here?

odd barn
#

Honestly, the only people who will stop are those that lose interest

#

But how can you lose interest in something running in the background

dreamy hazel
#

or those worrying about their electricity bills

green monolith
#

or they see their power bill

fierce steppe
#

Do you have an active CPU project currently @glass path ?

odd barn
#

Lol, yeah

#

My power bill is already high because of stupid time of usage

fierce steppe
#

If you're not working on an active project, if its just waiting, then you can remove the CPU slot.

green monolith
#

my power bill is already 311/month USD

glass path
#

@fierce steppe yeah but I paused it since it puts my CPU at 95C

odd barn
#

BRUH

#

My power bill is like $104 Canadian

#

this F@H stuff will only make it go up $20

#

that's fine with me

green monolith
#

well i'd post my "homelab" setup

dreamy hazel
#

i don't know how to view my pc's power draw, but i would assume a Ryzen 9 3900X can be a bit powerhungry

glass path
green monolith
#

thats prob why my power bill is kinda high

silver wing
#

$311 lol, get some solar

fierce steppe
#

@fierce steppe yeah but I paused it since it puts my CPU at 95C
@glass path Ah. If you can it'll be best to set it to Finish where it will stop after it finishes the work unit it's currently on and not start another.
Dumping a work unit will count as a failed WU and it can make you ineligible to receive QRBs

green monolith
#

@silver wing sure let me put it on top of my apt complex

glass path
#

Dumping a work unit will count as a failed WU and it can make you ineligible to receive QRBs
oh no i accidentally dumped one before i returned my first taskmonkaS

odd barn
#

Our rates are weird
Off-Peak 10.1 cents per kwh
Mid-Peak 14.4 cents per kwh
Peak Rate - 20.8 cents per kwh

#

We're getting our rates lowered to 10.1 cents per kwh indefinitely

silver wing
#

Go for it, who's going to notice 10 large panels anyway ๐Ÿ™‚

green monolith
#

lol

dreamy hazel
#

my bill is 60โ‚ฌ a month, which is a lot considering I live alone and i'm not really earning too much as an apprentice

fierce steppe
#

Should be fine if you dumped one... I've had a bunch fail due to unstable OCs and stuff..
You need to maintain 80% return rate

odd barn
#

That is a lot

green monolith
#

lets see current power draw of that server, what IP is my idrac for that......

odd barn
#

One thing you can do to lower your electricity bill is to replace your lights with LED bulbs

#

only turn on what you need

fierce steppe
#

Do they still sell incandescent bulbs?

odd barn
#

Yes.

#

And people still buy them

dreamy hazel
#

only got LEDs

green monolith
#

gah what IP did I assign to that R720

glass path
#

You need to maintain 80% return rate
is that stated anywhere on the site?

dreamy hazel
#

also, windows

odd barn
#

arp it

#

Wait what are you doing with a R720 lolll

green monolith
#

folding

My 1080 finally got a WU!

So been testing and it turns out that (in response to my own question earlier) that if you have low selected it never uses the GPU - this is a real shame as I don't want my CPU set to medium whilst I'm working but I'd like to donate my GPU time. ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

fierce steppe
#

@thick holly what was that question you wanted to ask earlier? Did you get an answer?

gusty path
thick holly
#

Yes you posted the link, that is how I was able to see ๐Ÿ™‚

dreamy hazel
#

on CPU, you can select specific cores to use for folding or just disable it generally @pallid cedar

@pallid cedar then justy set cpu topo run when idle in advanced

pallid cedar
#

I can?

#

๐Ÿ˜„

lean spire
#

also cpu runs are rare anyway ive never even gotten one

gusty path
#

I have gotten 2

pallid cedar
#

I always get them.

dreamy hazel
#

i had 3 today

green monolith
#

@odd barn i more or less have 1100 Watt PSUs in all my R720s so they can handle a proper load

glass path
#

Last question: I see I get the base credit when I returned a unit before (and I know i'm still not eligable for QRB yet)
Does estimated credit calculates QRB?

odd barn
#

Fair enough

#

they SFF right?

green monolith
#

2x SFF and 1 LFF

odd barn
#

not bad

#

but that electricity bill must be fun

green monolith
#

the SFF are 16 drives

#

and LFF is 8

pallid cedar
#

@lean spire I see what you mean. Hmm it's not as confiurable as I'd like. I'd like to set GPU to medium (any time) and CPU to low (any time). I don't think I can do that can I?

silver wing
#

Pitty I like the 12 drive LFF servers

lean spire
#

not that im aware of @pallid cedar

pallid cedar
#

Thanks.

green monolith
#

well i like PCIe slots and the 12 bays i saw tool space in back for the 2.5" options

#

as my other 2 run proxmox and all that jazz

crimson sorrel
#

I am not getting any work units, what might be the problem?

dreamy hazel
#

just wait

#

their servers can't keep up with the preparation and distribution of the work units, so patience will eventually give you some WUs

pallid cedar
#

@dreamy hazel the core option seems to be the best idea.

silver wing
#

Yep, dual 2.5" rear and 12 bays in front. All the 2U servers do that and it's really nice. Really hated having to waste 2 bays in the past for OS

thick holly

Last question: I see I get the base credit when I returned a unit before (and I know i'm still not eligable for QRB yet)

@glass path Without the QRB you'll just get the base credit amount.

glass path
#

I see

#

and no wonder the PPD is calculated in real time

fierce steppe
#

Yeah, it's based off the estimated time for you to finish.

glass path
#

thanks a lot
Think I got what I need to know for now

fossil trail
#

lol so all 14 of my workers are dead atm

fierce steppe
#

Ayyy, Folding@rancid agate twitter retweeted LTT's folding video

green monolith
#

nice

fierce steppe
#

I'm surprised Home hasn't changed their discord name yet ๐Ÿ˜„

odd barn
#

I sure hope they did

#

considering Linus is going to be hosting one of their servers lol

green monolith
#

or a couple of em

#

their ISP will prob go "Wut you are doing what now?" cri

odd barn
#

Lol

#

Their ISP wouldn't care

#

All Telus cares about is getting thousands of dollars for the 10Gbit connection

warm vale
#

didnt they contact their ISP for security issues?

green monolith
#

well if its anything like thier MC server and their firewall cockblocking almost everyone , that will be fun

warm vale
#

i think they mentioned it in the video or wan show

celest bloom
gusty path
#

That estimate vs reality makes you cry

fierce steppe
#

Yeah I'm estimating like 1.3-1.6M PPD but have only [just] broke 1mill twice in the last 2 weeks

gusty path
#

Think my estimate is around 4,5-5m between my machines atm, and I got 300k

fierce steppe
celest bloom
#

Yeah, figures as much. Im just impressed all three machines have all folding slots filled

lusty trellis
#

For anyone using linux and nvidia you can change the TDP of the card (limit) to avoid high temps

#

(or possibly overclock it :D)

dreamy hazel
#

woop woop, new gpu WU

celest bloom
#

grats!

dreamy hazel
#

seemed like they did better this morning, but it definitely went down again

#

Temperature control disabled. Requirements: single Nvidia GPU, tmax must be < 110 and twait >= 900

#

this again tho

#

weird

fierce steppe
#

Does it only happen when you start a new WU?

dreamy hazel
#

yes

fierce steppe
#

Yeah that's fine you can ignore it

dreamy hazel
#

got an eye on gpu temps, 76C is fine

#

not concerned, my gpu should be trustworthy enough to handle this

#

just wondering what might cause this message to show up

#

well, actually last time I saw it it was in the middle of a WU

#

but only once

fierce steppe
#

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe there's a flag you can set in the advanced settings to make F@H shut down if it reaches a tempt limit you set

#

by default it doesn't have this set and leaves it up to the GPU

dreamy hazel
#

hm, yeah, might be that

13:20:29:WU01:FS00:Final credit estimate, 9405.00 points

Um excuse me where is my QRB

rich depot
#

Lmao 69

dreamy hazel
#

is it normal gpu is only utilized ~45%? it's a gtx 1060

#

Nice

rich depot
#

It's normal I think

fierce steppe
#

Task manager is dumber than HWmonitor...
Change one of the GPU graphs to Cuda/Compute

rich depot
#

Eh, use HWinfo tho

hallow tiger
#

@dreamy hazel Yes. Go to Task Manager and select to see Cuda ... it'll be 99-100%

dreamy hazel
#

true.

#

sorry, duncecap engaged

hallow tiger
#

@dreamy hazel I did the same thing at first ๐Ÿ™‚

dreamy hazel
#

funny how simple games still work perfectly fine though

fierce steppe
#

I've been playing a lot of Slay the Spire lately, runs fine when folding with minimal drop in points

dreamy hazel
#

Osu still fluent

rich depot
#

looks like I haven't had a task for like 6 hours

#

you are doing a to good job you all, leaving no wu's for other people ๐Ÿ˜‚ keep it up

dreamy hazel
#

lul

#

just now noticed how my current WU's eta went from 5 to 7hrs though

#

guess that's why osu runs so well still

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

lusty trellis
#

I'm getting a lot of WU... maybe a new server spawn up? o.O

fierce steppe
#

folding at home should run with low priority, so other tasks (gaming) will take priority over it for resources

dreamy hazel
#

yeah

#

i want to see what my cpu will think of a new WU while i play different games

#

I mean, that's mainly what I got the 12core for, doing other tasks while playing

rich depot
#

I'll just close the F@h software for a bit. did a ram upgrade yesterday (from 16 to 32gb) so gotta test for a bit how much impact it makes on certain jobs

forest belfry
#

my desktop gpu getting a job after job while laptop is not doing anything

#

annoying

dreamy hazel
#

iirc it's not a big matter of RAM

#

spotty, you able to enlighten us here?

fierce steppe
#

๐Ÿ’ก there you go

dreamy hazel
#

you're literally the wise man that magically knows everything that was asked in the past 5 hours of me being in this discord :P

fierce steppe
#

RAM has zero impact on folding (unless you have too little RAM, like 2GB system total)

rich depot
#

@dreamy hazel no I know, but it is for photoshop and stuff. Thats why I'm closing F@h since I'm not getting any wu's and go do some jobs in photoshop and video editing

fierce steppe
#

Should be right with 8GB or more

dreamy hazel
#

ah, sorry :p

rich depot
#

no problem

dreamy hazel
#

what about ram speed and ccx communication though?

fierce steppe
#

Ah yeah, if you're doing other RAM intensive stuff then that will help

dreamy hazel
#

does that matter?

fierce steppe
#

Not as far as I know

#

Might give some improvement for CPU folding but I'm not sure

rich depot
#

do you also know when they will get new servers up?

dreamy hazel
#

they're working on it as fast as they can, i'm sure of that

rich depot
#

oh yeah I know

dreamy hazel
#

as for a specific point in time, not really

rich depot
#

just messing

dreamy hazel
#

:D

#

i like the level of sarcasm in here

fierce steppe
#

Don't expect it any time soon

dreamy hazel
#

yeah, setting that up with a certain degree of security (since the internet is scary, as we know) there's no good point in rushing things

rich depot
#

true

lusty trellis
#

yeah, setting that up with a certain degree of security (since the internet is scary, as we know) there's no good point in rushing things
@dreamy hazel Internet is not scary - just their users ๐Ÿ˜›

rich depot
#

last big project I was in was from the archive team, which was less security dependant, so easier to scale

#

+16 GB Geheugen

dire linden
#

but, why?

rich depot
#

this was scrubbing through a 4k timeline in premiere

#

it puts everything in ram, once I stop scrubbing it drops down again

dire linden
#

ooh. thought it couldn't be for folding

mild kiln
dire linden
#

gotcha

mild kiln
#

maybe cause wifi light will distract me for a snooze

small relic
#

is it normal that only the gpu gets work while the cpu gets nothing?

gusty path
#

yes

fierce steppe
#

There's a lot of demand at the moment so it's a bit hard to get work units consistently atm

#

CPUs seem to be worse off at the moment

small relic
#

i see

fierce steppe
#

I guess every system has a CPU but not every system has a dedicated GPU

mild kiln
#

yeah

fierce steppe
#

but there are also more GPU WUs being generated

#

67k GPU work units being assigned per hour
37k CPU work units being assigned per hour

mild kiln
#

RTX 2080 Ti gonna be cooking the room again

#

to 400k people approximate

small relic
#

does the gpu clock speed affect the speed of work?

mild kiln
#

uh IDK about thjat

gusty path
#

I imagine it is like everything, the more powerful the GPU the quicker it can get it done

mild kiln
#

I was thinking of downclocking my GPU to get away from 82 C but 82 C seems to be safe for RTX at base speeds

fierce steppe
#

GPU core clock does yes.

#

Just don't push it too high where it starts crashing, then you will start failing WUs

#

I just let GPU Boost do its thing

mild kiln
#

I don't touch OC for now cause more heat to the die and the risk of failed WUs

#

same

small relic
#

ahh i see

mild kiln
#

I need to find my old fan hub

fierce steppe
#

As long as the cards cool it'll boost up (and its not being limited by power limits or anything else)

mild kiln
#

think I may need to add a extra fan on a Vostro case

#

though dunno where a 120 will get cool air from a cramped space with small metal holes

#

yes

fierce steppe
#

Yeah, it's normal. Not an issue with your setup but its an issue with their servers.

rich depot
#

Yes

wheat lynx
#

@rich depot WE wont get to choose server so that wont happen

fierce steppe
#

Just lots of demand on the servers and not enough WUs to go around

you just wait

@visual lily power not enough? just asking

visual lily
#

That's what I thought, but I've got a 650w gold psu that should be enough, I think

rich depot
#

to much heat in the system?

visual lily
#

Set it in mid or light if you have heat issue

If I disable PBO my GPU still isn't going at full throttle so it's not that

#

This is so weird

#

@robust lark

hallow tiger
#

@small current Can you not limit the power they use (limit CPU core or underclock GPU) so they keep processing, but at much cooler temps?

small current
#

nope

fierce steppe
#

You can...

small current
#

with the bios nope

fierce steppe
#

Set the slider to medium and it'll be easier on the CPU

rancid frost
#

Looks like I'm gonna have to wait around for WUs.

fierce steppe
#

Power limit the GPU to 75%

#

from MSI afterburner or whatever software your card uses

small current
#

the gpu is getting no wus

hallow tiger
#

I think you can also configure the F@H program and tell it how many cores of your CPU to use

fierce steppe
#

You can, but you shouldn't edit the slot while you have an active CPU project running

#

so set it to finish, then when its finished the work unit change it

small current
#

okay

hallow tiger
#

For GPU - as @fierce steppe says, drop all your sliders on Afterburner and it'll run GPU WU much cooler

small current
#

but for me its 3 30

#

so i dont need to do that now

hallow tiger
#

I have a 1660S in an ITX case (same as Linus uses in his livingroom) and it's a steady 74 and quiet (custom fan curve)

rancid frost
#

Servers still overloaded or is my inability to get assignments a configuration issue?

hallow tiger
#

Laptop may be a wee bit louder, but will still manage temps a lot better

@rancid frost server

rancid frost
#

Good, everything's working on my end then.

small current
#

i plan for a rx 5700 rig in a mini itx

rotund flume
#

Laptop may be a wee bit louder, but will still manage temps a lot better
@hallow tiger whats your laptop specs?4

small current
#

r5 3600

rancid frost
#

Gonna rig up both machines to do the work.

#

Junkitron's paltry Piledriver will have to sit out, but its 1050Ti can do work.

green dove
#

:/ repeated upload failure. No good. (also no new WUs, really dried up in the last day or two, after things were looking better)

rancid frost
#

The Planet Smasher is ready with both 1080Tis in the meanwhile.

hallow tiger
#

@rancid frost GPU's process much faster, so not abad thing

deft hollow
#

Not used F@H for a few years, any reason my CPU would be @ 0.00% or just no units avail?

small current
#

damn afterburner wont let me edit the fan speed as its a laptop

visual lily
#

no units

deft hollow
#

GPU is killing it, but wondered if it was just not doing CPU or something

fierce steppe
#

Not used F@H for a few years, any reason my CPU would be @ 0.00% or just no units avail?
@deft hollow Probably stuck waiting for a work unit

visual lily
#

Yeah lots of people are getting a work unit for either gpu or cpu, and no unit for the other

rancid frost
#

It's not a bad thing, yeah, but the Planet Smasher has an 8700K so it can contribute on the CPU level as well.

#

Every little freaking bit.

small current
#

what shall i oc my gpu to?

#

rn

deft hollow
#

Cheers, not used F@H since ~2011 where it was all CPU based!

(1060 max q)

fierce steppe
#

Its just luck what you get... But definitely seems to be less CPU work units going around from what people have been saying

small current
#

no im only getting cpu wus

visual lily
#

It seems to be mostly gpu wus

#

That are more common

dire linden

yikes. i had my fans on silent... no wonder it was 87... damnit.... made it full speed, insta drop@wheat lynx

#

I need to configure my PBO to not immediately set my 3700x to 1.35v and make it 82c

rancid frost
#

It's a good thing the next few days are going to be pretty cool.

hallow tiger
#

@small current If you're trying to sleep then put all the sliders to the left to minimse power and clock. That should quieten it down so you can sleep and it can keep processing

green monolith
deft hollow
#

hah literally just kicked in to CPU units as i typed this

rancid frost
#

I won't have to turn up the heat at all with these babies running.

small current
#

yesbut im not trying to sleep yet

#

its 3 30 pm

hallow tiger
#

@small current Leave it at defaults for now then?

green monolith
#

48 threads folding cooking mah CPU

small current
#

k

deft hollow
#

Better to have 2 slots with less power or 1 with more?

hallow tiger
#

@green monolith Jesus ... how fast are you getting through your WU with all those running?

rancid frost
#

Boom, GPU1 just connected.

valid turtle
#

I'm guessing there's no WU available currently?

rancid frost
#

GPU2 just connected as well.

#

They're out there, just gotta be patient.

hallow tiger
#

@valid turtle Sporadic

rancid frost
#

I only JUST got two.

valid turtle

I don't wanna leave my pc on all night just to maybe get one :P

oh y aknow waking up to see I have cranked out 414k points overnight

rancid flume
#

my cpu can't download wu

#

"an establish connection was aborted by the software in your host machine"

hallow tiger
#

@green monolith So about 40mins? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

rancid flume
#

but my gpu is already folding fine

green monolith
#

something like that, my poor GPUs look like they suck

#

or getting more complex stuffs

#

anyhow thats a Linux host

rancid flume
#

mine looks way too complex for my macbook to handle

hallow tiger
#

@green monolith I see GPU folding also uses some CPU too. My #1 core (6850k) is pinned, but my AMD pc spreads CPU activity out over 3 cores

rancid frost
#

Alrighty, the glass panel's coming off.

#

I've created a new profile for this operation. "JET ENGINE"

fierce steppe
#

mine looks way too complex for my macbook to handle
@rancid flume laughs in GPU folding

@rich depot hot lol

rancid flume
rich depot
#

That's a dense af protein

forest sapphire
#

Yeah Macbook was super warm while doing a wu

rancid frost
#

It's working, though, GPU1 is leveling out at 68-69ยฐ and GPU2 has cooled right down to 47ยฐ.

rich depot
#

Tfw I received no GPU wu

hallow tiger
#

@fierce steppe What project code is it?

rancid frost
#

Clocks at 2012 MHz and 2038 MHz.

hallow tiger
#

11747

rich depot
#

How to set up wu for GPU? Mine is still idling all the time

fierce steppe
#

Yeah says top left

hallow tiger
fierce steppe
#

Yeah, all the 11740-11780 are covid-19

rich depot
#

The 14xxx is also covid as well

fierce steppe
#

CPU : 13862 - 13863 - 14328 - 14329 - 14337 - 14528 to 14531 - 14572 - 14574 - 14576 - 14600
GPU : 11741 to 11781

odd barn
rich depot
#

There are some codes are covid but stuck in non specific projects

#

@odd barn if you have enough cooling power, yeet

rancid flume
#

just go gpu folding lol. i just saw some guy's gpu folding and my cpu folding would probably take 100000 years to get to that level

#

cpu folding is useless at this point

sly otter
#

cpu 5.2k points
gpu over 495k points
nice

rich depot
#

sweating

rancid flume
#

cpu folding isn't power efficient

sly otter
#

I realized that already xD

rancid frost
#

That ain't gonna stop me.

#

We have nuclear power here in Illinois, I'm gonna use every bit of those atoms.

sly otter
#

But my gpu finished an assigment and now it doesnt grab a new one so it is better than nothing

rancid flume
#

if only i could utilize my $10,000 worth of bitcoin miners on folding LULW

odd barn
#

Thankfully I can remote access these servers

#

Thereโ€™s 3 I could CPU fold in, Iโ€™m not concerned about efficiency

fierce steppe
#

mine looks way too complex for my macbook to handle
@rancid flume What team are you folding for? I can't find info on 250658

sly otter
#

@odd barn i have a question regarding remte folding

hallow tiger
#

@odd barn Everytthing helps rn

rancid flume
#

250658 is a new folding team i just created an hour ago. I'm starting a folding community at my university smilERED

sly otter
#

I have another computer, an old I3 that is in my same network. How do I set it up so it can remote fold?

fierce steppe
#

Oh that's cool

rancid flume
#

how long does it take for new teams to show up on the global database?

fierce steppe
#

they will need to submit work units, then maybe a few hours

rancid flume
#

i see. i guess our team will be visible in about 6 hours then

fierce steppe
#

Right now with all the extra load it might take longer ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

Also extremeoverclocking is limited to show only the top 12,000 teams

rancid flume
#

the extra load not a big issue

fierce steppe
#

So your team will need more than 825k points to be in the top 12,000 teams

rancid flume
#

top 12,000 isn't really our goal though

fierce steppe
#

but foldingathome stats should show you

rancid flume
#

i just want our university community to be more involved in the global community

#

korean universities are very lacking in this aspect

forest sapphire
#

just got a cpu wu

wind sorrel
#

Waiting on a passkey. Any idea how long this takes?

fierce steppe
#

few hours... Few days...

#

Check spam folder

wind sorrel
#

nothing in any folder yet

green monolith
#

took me like a min to get

forest sapphire
#

and just got a gpu wu at the same time

#

Nice

rancid flume
#

i just noticed. 825k points isn't that hard. i'm getting 86k a day on my laptop alone

fierce steppe
#

Yeah, a system with a decent GPU will do that in a day (normally)

rancid frost
#

It's not hard at all, especially if you can get multiple people working at it.

rancid flume
#

even myself it should take about 10 days

fierce steppe
#

Top 5000 teams requires 4.5M

rancid frost
#

I'm looking at about 200k points some time in the next 2 hours.

rancid flume
#

200k points per 2 hours PogChamp

rancid frost
#

And that's only going by current estimates with no CPU workload.

rancid flume
#

add cpu workload it will become 200.1k/2hours

forest sapphire
#

nothing like a 4k CPU wu lol

#

crank that out in like 15 mins

rancid frost
#

This is the kind of work the 1080Ti was born to do.

forest sapphire
#

CPU is folding every 13 seconds lol

rancid frost
#

And I've got two of them.

rancid flume
#

all these people with crazy setups and all i have is 2 laptops

forest sapphire
#

@rancid frost my 2080ti lives for this

fierce steppe
#

You have two laptops? all I have is a smart watch and a calculator

rancid frost
#

Alas, that thing wasn't around in 2018 when I built the Planet Smasher.

#

Otherwise I might have sprung for one of those while I was stuck working 80+ hours a week.

rancid flume
#

@fierce steppe plus a f**ked up machine that can fold gigantic proteans

rancid frost
#

The Planet Smasher is revenge, revenge against the world, yet here I am helping it out.

forest sapphire
#

haha

rancid frost
#

I was supposed to have a VR setup hooked up to it, but I've been having trouble acquiring a headset.

#

Spare funds haven't been lining up.

#

...that, and I'm not very fond of giving Facebook money.

slow socket
#

if you use two machines, do they need to have 2 seperate accounts?

rancid frost
#

Nope.

rich depot
#

nope

fierce steppe
#

No. Use the same account. Same username, team ID#, and passkey

rancid flume
#

really? i made 2 usernames lol

rancid frost
#

I'm using two machines right now under the same passkey and everything.

rancid flume
#

pc1 & pc2 lmao

forest sapphire
#

Yeah you can use the same user info across many platforms

#

Larry has like 15 VM's using his username lol

#

he is CRANKING out some points

rancid flume
#

should i rent VMs for this?

#

my folding viewer is stuck at connecting, how do i fix?

forest sapphire
#

@rancid flume you talking about the web viewer?

rancid flume
#

the 3d model viewer

forest sapphire
#

ahh

#

yeah I think certain versions work

rancid flume
#

and yeah, the web viewer is also broken on chrome

forest sapphire
#

and others done

#

err don't

fierce steppe
#

viewer doesnt work on windows

rancid flume
#

ah i see thats fine then

fierce steppe
#

Thats why it was able to work on your mac laptop

spark veldt
#

Why cant i get WS assignments?

fierce steppe
#

too many people not enough work units

rancid flume
#

i was hoping to get a screencap of some epic molecule cloud to put into my tutorial guide

forest sapphire
#

might be able to find it on googles

rancid flume
#

i don't take others' images lol

spark veldt
#

well im currently streaming my Viewer going to leave it over night @rancid flume Im also recording so if i get any ill sent them your way

rancid flume
#

oh its on twitch. ok ill screengrab that

#

thanks

rich depot
#

the ONLY web browser i have gotten everything web based to work with is edge, thats it, everything els might work for a little but not later on

forest sapphire
#

@rancid flume Its not taking if you request permission

rancid flume
#

nvm its demo

spark veldt
#

Currently yea

#

waiting for assignments

forest sapphire
#

@rich depot use incognito mode for chrome

rancid flume
#

incognito is only for ponr

spark veldt
#

should my work server for CPU be 0.0.0.0?

rancid flume
#

is project 11760 also covid?

fierce steppe
#

yes

forest sapphire
#

yep

spark veldt
#

yea

fierce steppe
#

11741 - 11781 for gpu are covid-19

rancid flume
#

whose question are you answering?

#

oh

#

thanks

visual lily
#

There's a list of covid-19 work units, hol' up

#

I'll grab it

spark veldt
#

CPU : 14328 - 14329 - 14530 - 14531

GPU : 11741 to 11764

#

beat that

forest sapphire
#

hey @visual lily

visual lily
#

The Current Folding@home project IDs that correspond with Coronavirus (COVID-19) research are 11741, 11742, 11743, 11744, 11745, 11746, 11747, 11748, 11749, 11750, 11751, 11752, 11759, 11760, 11761, 11762, 11763, 11764, 11776, 14328, 14329, 14530, 14531, and 14532.

fierce steppe
#

thats the old list @spark veldt they've added more...

rancid flume
#

i set it on auto i think they'll prioritze covid projects for now

spark veldt
#

More!

visual lily
#

There's more than that list, too ^

#

But those are the bigger ones I think

spark veldt
#

Nice

fierce steppe
#

CPU : 13862 - 13863 - 14328 - 14329 - 14337 - 14528 to 14531 - 14572 - 14574 - 14576 - 14600
GPU : 11741 to 11781

rancid flume
#

i don't have to manually set them right?

visual lily
#

naw

#

Just set FAH to "any disease"

spark veldt
#

if we did where would we do that?

visual lily
#

You can't manually set it to covid

rancid flume
#

aha ok nothing to worry about then

visual lily
#

But if you choose research type as any disease, chances are you'll get covid

spark veldt
#

alrighty

fierce steppe
#

Do you have a work unit?

visual lily
#

Nah you haven't got a wu then

fierce steppe

"15:15:22:ERROR:Receive error: 10053: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine."
@spark veldt You have the viewer open, don't you?

burnt orbit
#

Im still getting the WU thing, should I just wait?

spark veldt
#

yep

fierce steppe
#

Viewer doesn't work on windows, it will be stuck on the demo loop

#

That's what is causing that 10053 error
Close the viewer

spark veldt
#

ah

visual lily
#

Wish the viewer did work on windows

fierce steppe
#

There's a way to get it working

spark veldt
#

linux vertual machine i assume

fierce steppe
#

nah

rich depot
#

o.O

spark veldt
#

no?

fierce steppe
#

Well, I mean that would probably work... But it'd be stupid

dreamy hazel
#

how do i see whether or not i'm getting qrb?

spark veldt
#

Still getting same error

fierce steppe
#

after closing the viewer?

spark veldt
#

Yep

rancid flume
#

can someone with a working 3d viewer send me a screenshot of their craziest fold?

spark veldt
#

Fixed

rancid flume
#

i will be using it for a website announcement

fierce steppe
#

how big do you want it to be?

dreamy hazel
#

there's a 3d viewer?

spark veldt
#

i wonder if i can fix the viewer

rancid flume
#

as large as possible

dreamy hazel
rancid flume
#

yeah this one

forest sapphire
#

Thats so cool

rancid flume
#

if only you actually understand what on earth that bubblar monstrosity is

rich depot
#

That is a protein

dreamy hazel
#

chain, isn't it

rich depot
#

A chain, folded one, or at least in folding

spark veldt
#

cluster

rancid flume
#

all i know is ATP = power

fierce steppe
rich depot
#

Also protein

spark veldt
#

Spotty how are you viewing these?

rich depot
#

looks more completed fold tho

rancid flume
#

thanks i'll just use this one

fierce steppe
#

my viewer is not broken

rancid flume
#

looks crazy

rich depot
#

press on the viewer

#

Yeah, protein is crazy tho

dreamy hazel
#

spotty has a slightly more advanced computer i suppose lul

rich depot
#

lul

fierce steppe
#

I'm just using a fixed version of the viewer

spark veldt
#

Howd you find that?

fierce steppe
#

someone posted a link to it on the forums

spark veldt
#

Aight

hallow tiger
#

@fierce steppe It's a magic eye picture of a whale .....

#

๐Ÿ˜‰

pale solar
#

how do you work on the covid cause? only ones i can see are alzeimers cancer huntingtons and parkinsons

rancid flume
#

set it on all diseases

hallow tiger
#

Covid is priority on "select all"

fierce steppe
#

For anyone who wants to fix the viewer on windows

pale solar
#

ok thanks

fierce steppe
#

its a github file of someone who fixed the viewer and uploaded it
So install at your own risk

rancid flume
#

i really hope they aren't just mining ethereum and using the profit to get medical firms to work on cures

dreamy hazel
fierce steppe
#

To install extract the files (7zip/winzip) and move the fahviewer and freetype.dll files in to the program files\fahclient folder and replace the existing files

rancid flume
#

yeah ok all gpu folds look crazy

fierce steppe
#

It can be a little bit janky and it can causing folding at home to crash

#

but then you just launch it by clicking the Viewer button in the advanced client

dreamy hazel
#

tbh the cpu one's not exactly terrible either

pale solar
#

are peoples viewers not working? i just opened mine up and seems fine as far as i can tell. though i only just started

fierce steppe
#

works in linux and mac, windows version busted

dreamy hazel
#

^

pale solar
#

im on windows

spark veldt
#

I still cant find the github

fierce steppe
#

Does it say Demo down the bottom left hand corner?

#

on windows it just gets stuck on the demo loop

pale solar
#

yes it does didnt notice that

spark veldt
#

found it

rancid flume
#

post it brother

spark veldt
#

tap windows f and type github

fierce steppe
#

there are posts saying that the cube protein structures are a bug

#

seems likely since they do not look normal

#

viewer doesn't like the core22 units

#

I'll have to test it if I get an older core21

rancid flume
#

so we are wasting computation on cubes?

fierce steppe
#

no its just the viewer thats busted

#

the actual folding is fine

rich depot
#

^

rancid flume
#

oh ok

hallow tiger
#

Whoa .... the proper protein viewer os mental..... it's like it's breathing ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

spark veldt
#

aight i got a working view stream now

fierce steppe
#

If anyone is on Linux running a GPU with Core22 they could post what they get in the 3D viewer

slow socket
#

and on wich linux kernels does the folding software run?

spark veldt
rancid flume
#

@spark veldt would you mind joining my team? you seem to be on default

spark veldt
#

what number?

fierce steppe
#

223518

rancid flume
#

250658

#

its for my uni but everyone is welcome to join

spark veldt
#

hallow tiger
#

223518 is the LTT code

forest sapphire
#

yep

spark veldt
#

need to get my self some water cooling

forest sapphire
#

I've done 16 folds.

spark veldt
#

running at 91 degrees

forest sapphire
#

Did 7 folds overnight which is awesome

#

hey @vernal cloak

#

Going good

slow socket
#

does kali count as debian os?

spark veldt
#

technically

#

my gpu runs so cool

#

its weird

#

it idles at 20c sometimes

hallow tiger
#

woop - 2nd PC incoooomiiing

forest sapphire
#

My GPU at load right now is 64 degrees

hallow tiger
#

Just intome for my gaming PC to finish it's current one

slow socket
#

mine 67 degrees

forest sapphire
#

@slow socket what GPU are you running?

dreamy hazel
#

gpu 75, cpu 82, over several hours though so appears stable enough for me

pale solar
#

do your cpu and gpu work together or do they get seperate workloads?

slow socket
#

660 ti

#

a bit outdated

dreamy hazel
#

separate workloads

spark veldt
#

seperate

jovial hull
#

503 errors on fah lb?

pale solar
#

ok cool. just wondering since i loaded my cpu protein easy enough but went to view my gpu protein and the viewer is stuck on loading. progress is going up so i know its not frozen. probably just a bigger protein or something.

dreamy hazel
#

way bigger

spark veldt
#

yea

hallow tiger
#

@slow socket Still will outperform CPU for folding

forest sapphire
#

anybdoy else watch the next attempt and get sad when it resets. I feel like my computer failed . ๐Ÿ˜›

slow socket
#

yeah

dreamy hazel
forest sapphire
#

damn

#

no wonder why GPU's get some serious points

rich depot
#

oh btw there are some codes like 13850 is also covid, but unknown details

forest sapphire
#

yep I saw that one yesterday I think Walky

pale solar
#

honestly wasnt sure which would run bigger. since im running a ryzen hexacore. 12 thread. wasnt sure how big, if any, effect it would have. looking like cpu almost aint worth much at this compared to gpu

rancid flume
#

im on 13850 for my mac

dreamy hazel
#

well, 12 core 24 thread ryzen here lul

rich depot
#

crai in half of it

forest sapphire
#

yeah @dreamy hazel 3900x for the win!

wind osprey
#

This is the longest my laptop has been use din 4 years.

marble frigate
forest sapphire
#

haha

#

@marble frigate its broke for PC's

rich depot
#

it's the demo model, not your one

spark veldt
#

if a cpu protein kills virus cells its better because then it doesn't cost as much to mass produce (right?)

pale solar
#

smokey thats the demo unit

wind osprey
#

viewer is broken for this version, previous version it works

marble frigate
#

ah aight

rancid flume
#

I'll ask my uni for permission to our NVIDIA Turing farm and see how many numbers i can crank out

spark veldt
#

do it

rich depot
#

yes

spark veldt
#

i could install this on all my school pcs and

forest sapphire
#

OMG yeah @rancid flume

rancid flume
#

will probably have to do it 2 weeks later tough due to the approval process

spark veldt
#

set it to idle

#

with my username

#

1090 computers later

mild kiln
rich depot
#

That's a lot of computer

dreamy hazel
#

you get a beginner grade load at first, and if the system notices you doing those folds really quick (in my case 20-30 minutes) it'll also assign bigger cpu folds to you, this one rn takes roughly 4hrs

pale solar
#

follow the git posted above and it fixes it. works well it seems aside from my gpu protieb still loading. any idea how long that usually takes on a 1060 6gb?

spark veldt
rancid flume
#

i have a 1070 8gb and its taking about 3 hours for my current fold

rich depot
#

That's quite cool, mine is 85C

spark veldt
#

got rtx 2060 2 26 for me

pale solar
#

i mean to load the viewer. or is that what you mean too?

slow socket
#

what kind of internet usage does the program use?

rich depot
#

viewer is bugging right now

dreamy hazel
#

i'm running a 1060 6gb too

rancid flume

@spark veldt add backgorund music to your stream or people wont stay

tfw my CPU folds in 2 hours and 30-ish mins

mild kiln
#

Are you at Turbo Johnny?

rich depot
#

boi, that's toasty

#

I only able to fold in light, or my CPU hates me

forest sapphire
#

That is super warm smokey

mild kiln
#

My 9900K is at 60 C cause I disabled Turbo Boost which for some reason disables MCE too

dreamy hazel
#

should limit it a bit

#

can undervolt it to safety

marble frigate
#

its up on 76C when i set it to low folding...

green monolith

im tempted to down clock 8 of my cores to 3ghz (normally 4) and run it on that to keep the temps down

#

@dreamy hazel you have a 3900x correct? What are you using for cooling on that?

marble frigate
#

idk i cleaned and stuff last night to fix the temp, but seems like this "ENERMAX ETS-T50 AXE " i have from few years back is meh..

dreamy hazel
#

nah, 3900X

rich depot
#

5 3600 is mine

what AIO?

CPU work assignment has jumped about 30k in the last hour or so. Are people finding it easier to get CPU work units now?

how to set up GPU for wu??

fierce steppe
#

whats your GPU?

spark veldt
#

Im just running gpu my cpu gets way to hot

rich depot
#

1660

fierce steppe
#

it wasn't already added?
Does it show up in the advanced control?

simple swan
#

my cpu at 86c

#

gpu around 60

rich depot
hallow tiger
#

Woop - 2 minutes wait between WU and I'm off again ๐Ÿ˜„

rich depot
#

gpu is 30C right now, no task for gpu

hallow tiger
#

It must like my 1080Ti

forest sapphire
#

44 seconds for next cpu wu check

#

GPU has about 6% left before its done

simple swan
#

right click on gpu and set idle off if you want it go now but other wise leave it and it will run

what does "waiting for idle" means ? :ยง

OK I got HWInfo64 now

means its waiting for you to socially isolate from your PC

dreamy hazel
#

it seems you have it set to only do stuff when you're in idle

rich depot
#

niceeeeee

fierce steppe
#

Guys make sure you don't leave the Viewer running as it eats a significant chunk of GPU resources

dreamy hazel
rich depot
#

@spark veldt my gpu is in sleep mode o.O

#

eh, sleep mode in my PC is a bit tricky when the PSU is down as well

spark veldt
#

Yea

hallow tiger
#

@fierce steppe Should be 3d not cuda for the view/model?

mild kiln
#

So where do I see the Utilization in HWInfo?

rich depot
#

the viewer is buggy

#

Ah, just run the HWinfo64 (I'm using the portable version)

mild kiln
rich depot
#

run sensor only

#

I think scroll down for more or up?

dreamy hazel
#

is the load setting to full?

mild kiln
#

yes

this just means there is no WU right?

mild kiln
rich depot

ah yeah mine is 50% average

fierce steppe
#

yeah, no WU

dreamy hazel
#

yes rai

pale solar
rich depot
#

@spark veldt yup, no wu

spark veldt
#

or is it because i limited to 2 threads?

#

aight

Eyyyy that's a cute one

heyo, I just starting folding on two of my machines at home. I've had my Dual Xeon X5650's running all day, and now i

ahh hell, I just love seeing my whole system do work

How long should it take to get the passkey?

i've got my R5 3600 + 1080ti gaming rig going. my cpu is up and folding but i've got a lot of 16:02:23:ERROR:Receive error: 10053: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. in the logs

icy mango
#

Oh, I received a passkey really quick.

red igloo
#

from what I understand windows doesn't display the visualizer at all?

icy mango
#

@red igloo that's fairly common

west sphinx
#

@main ether For me it took today 2hrs

icy mango
#

And, that's a bug

#

if you want to see the visualization, you need to download the older version of the viewer.

main ether
#

@west sphinx thank you

icy mango
#

you can find the binary there

mild kiln
#

Yeah my CPU while folding is locked to 51%

red igloo
#

@icy mango ah, good. I checked my score. It seems my dual xeons have been working all day

icy mango
#

use 7zip to extract the old version and put it in the folder where the FAHViewer is

red igloo
#

thank you

icy mango
#

make sure to rename it to something else so you don't replace it with the current version

rancid frost
#

My basement trick appears to be working despite what people said years ago.

#

Sucking air through the bottom is making a difference.

marble frigate
#

is there any way i can screw up a tower cooler install in a way that its fine up to 70% cpu util and then can't handle the rest?

icy mango
#

there's also a dependent file you also need to copy over to that directory, freetype6.dll

fierce steppe
#

using the viewer from 7.4.4 can make it crash btw

cedar adder
#

@marble frigate what is your setup?

icy mango
#

I've not experienced that @fierce steppe

fierce steppe
#

I have

icy mango
#

and crashing what? the viewer is separate from the worker

#

so, does the viewer crash?

fierce steppe
#

driver crash

marble frigate
#

i have a 4790k cooled by a ENERMAX ETS-T50 AXE for 3 years. i'm (edit: NOT) doing demanding things with it so dont generally have an issue. unless i start to fold and goes up to 100c

icy mango
#

Ah, interesting.

hallow tiger
#

Damng .. my model looks like a Purple Borg trying to assimilate a big cheeto ๐Ÿ˜„

icy mango
#

Yeah, the model is insane.

marble frigate
#

also cleared and re-thermod last night but didnt do the trick

hallow tiger
#

@marble frigate underclock it for folding only?

marble frigate
#

idk im just wondering if it's something i can do to improve it or its simply a crappy cooler whihc is fine for my crappy games but not for real utilization

rancid frost
#

BURN BABY BURN

#

FOLDING INFERNO

hallow tiger
#

LOL

cedar adder
#

@marble frigate did you put on liquid metal?

pale solar
#

what temps shoudl you start worrying about? ive never really hit anything high so its never been an issue for me. currently on half power on CPU got 61C (which im sure is fine) and GPU i have 73C which is proabbly getting u there a little

rancid frost
#

Don't start worrying until about 78ยฐ.

hallow tiger
#

Manufacturer will state what the thermal limits are

marble frigate
#

@cedar adder ?

cedar adder
#

@marble frigate your thermal compound between the IHS and your cooler?

rancid frost
#

You'll get more performance the cooler the temps are with nVidia, but clock speed isn't as important as CUDA count.

marble frigate
#

ah ofc

cedar adder
#

Did you use liquid metal?

marble frigate
#

its coolermaster's HTK-002 grey paste

#

never heared of liquid metal

forest sapphire
#

liquid metal is cool

#

I haven't used it

hallow tiger
#

It's conductive, so less safe in builds where the CPU is vertical

marble frigate
#

ah mine is definitely vertical

rancid frost
#

That's why I don't use it.

Hi everyone, I've been waiting 2 days for a WU now, is that normal? I've installed Folding@home 3 days ago and I've only been appointed 1 WU

marble frigate
#

I've just started to worry about my cpu's well being in general cause of heat

real oxide
#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

cedar adder
#

you can't use liquid metal on a lot of coolers it is corrosive to copper

rancid frost
#

@real oxide Normal at current.

dreamy hazel
#

hwinfo keeps closing lol

rancid frost
#

Lots of server load.

hallow tiger
#

@real oxide If the wait is>20 mins then pause and restart it. May take up to 20 attempts, but you should get one

fierce steppe
#

@real oxide If the wait is>2 mins then pause and restart it. May take up to 20 attempts, but you should get one
@hallow tiger No!!!
Don't do it every god damn 2 minutes

#

If there wasn't a work unit 2 minutes ago there isn't going to be one now...
You're just going to end up DDoSing the servers telling people to do that

#

You should only do it if the wait time is unreasonable long, as in > 1 hour

rancid frost
#

I'd honestly just let it roll at this point.

marble frigate
#

hmm. im actually wondering if i put the fan on the other side of the cooler tower would make a difference. im not a pro at this at all ๐Ÿ˜„

rancid frost
#

The thing actually queries the servers for WUs every few minutes.

forest sapphire
#

Yeah I do that if the wait time is like 30+ mins

rancid frost
#

You'll get one eventually, they just gotta come as they come.

pale solar
#

positive pressure is the biggest thing in my builds. at least one more fan in than out

red igloo
#

nice! got the vizualiser working! Thanks @icy mango

icy mango
#

Awesome

#

happy to help

hallow tiger
#

@fierce steppe I keep forgetting. If I see it and it's 10+ mins then I'll reset it

marble frigate
#

I've got one fan front, one on the back and that's that apart from cpu cooler ofc. everything is closed here for a while so no chance of getting more fans

fierce steppe
#

"Please only do this if you are stuck waiting a long time for a download and the Next Attempt is too long. Spamming it won't help you get a work unit faster, it just resets the time window between checks so it will only help those who have been stuck for a long time.

Remember; this won't make more Work Units available. There are still ongoing issues with F@H pushing out enough WUs to meet the high demand. It will only help if your client has stopped checking for new work units due to too many failed attempts. "

omg mine is at 69.69% haha so funny

i have 2 fans in in the front, 1 out in the back; and the little plastic toy ontop of my case with ventilation grid up top is slowly melting
