There's thousands of people overloading the F@H servers for WU's and thousands of people doing WU's, so just imagine

a not so fun story, my dad force me to uninstall the other f@h client that i have on his laptop because he belived this program is like those crypomining viruses (also Stanford uni is a big name in any parents mind her in vietnam when it comes to study abroad)

i dont recommend(Dont even try) u to probe a multimeter in ur mobo

voltage can be converted to W if you know the amps

Well right, but are there specific sensors that I should be look for for all this info, or is it only possible by probing or something?

cant probe a mobo like that

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 3:02 PM

For example, I know there is a difference between voltage and VID, right?

Voltage can't be set higher than VID because VID is the feed or something?

even though my sensors are contradicting that, LOL

If your GPU overclock fails/becomes unstable in MSI Afterburner, what happens? Does it freeze the entire PC?

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

I think the driver crashes and restarts IIRC

wheat lynx Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

same as any other thing

#

can freeze, BSOD, restart

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

And it'll keep doing that until you stop the program

coarse citrus Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

depends on how bad it crashes tbh

and reason

wheat lynx Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

i've had almost only hard crashes that require a restart to recover

dawn gazelle Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

Ok, thanks. Was just thinking about how a CPU will freeze everything, wasn't sure what the GPU will do.

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 3:46 PM

#

That was usually my experience. Only had soft driver crashes

#

I think if you do a heavy, heavy benchmark and very slowly raise it, you should be able to get it to soft-lock and restart

prisma oxide Mar 25, 2020, 3:47 PM

Damn too bad, you could've had the greatest GPU ever, no power draw, all the frames.

coarse citrus Mar 25, 2020, 3:47 PM

can be as minor as you loose a WU or as bad as a bsod,

ive had some bad gpu crashes doing my XOC in january where it cause system instabilty and cause BSODs

but i had my whole rig on the razors edge of stability for performance

what if two computers have different username but same passkey?

wheat lynx Mar 25, 2020, 3:57 PM

passkey is tied to username

@atomic dagger its entirely up to you, but if you had to pick one i would say GPU

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

I have a 3950X and a 2070. I while working, full, and do 28/32 threads.

#

I only pause the CPU if I want to play a game

atomic dagger Mar 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

do you keep the gpu running? while playing games?

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

Usually I can run the GPU while playing games because it's a separate load. Most games barely utilize CUDA while Folding uses it

atomic dagger Mar 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

oh

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

But then again, that's just the games I play

atomic dagger Mar 25, 2020, 4:20 PM

#

I would only be playing overwatch, ksp, and league

#

so I think that's fine

warm vale Mar 25, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

if you see FPS drop a lot just pause it, or just pause it beforehand if youw ant to be on the safe side

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

For example

atomic dagger Mar 25, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

so cpu and GPU max, but while playing pause cpu? should I keep gpu at max or medium, whileplaying

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:21 PM

#

In most games Copy and Cuda are 0%, while 3D is higher. Folding uses Copy and CUDA but not 3D. The stat you see on the left is usually just the max value from either 3D or Copy

📎 unknown.png

#

I just leave everything Full

#

while working

#

and pause CPU when gaming

#

You can try it out and adjust as you need

#

If you're unsure, maybe start at medium.

atomic dagger Mar 25, 2020, 4:22 PM

#

ok

cobalt rune Mar 25, 2020, 4:22 PM

So my GPU says it's "ready" but it's not actual folding, meanwhile my CPU is pounding itself stupid, anyone got a solution for this at all?

#

I just don't wan't to ruin my hardware

just keep an eye on your temps the first few times your CPU/GPU folds

open relic Mar 25, 2020, 4:23 PM

any way to change the max cores the folding app uses? after like 10 mins of it runing full it crashes my computer

cobalt rune Mar 25, 2020, 4:23 PM

Ok so any ETA on how long for my WU will come in for my GPU to clock in?

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:23 PM

#

I even jammed a screwdriver into my 770's memory by accident and sparks went flying. Still held a great OC with a Kraken bracket and didn't have any issues.

warm vale Mar 25, 2020, 4:23 PM

open advance control from system tray

#

at the top click on configure

#

under slots double click on cpu and from there you can set the max cores

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:24 PM

@cobalt rune It's kinda random honestly. Sometimes you'll get a lot, one after another, sometimes all your hardware will sit idle

#

The client already DOSes their servers, that's the "attempts" number, lol

cobalt rune Mar 25, 2020, 4:26 PM

So should I just set it to Medium and get some sleep to just be on the safe side?

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:27 PM

If you're not using, I would just use it full tilt

cobalt rune Mar 25, 2020, 4:27 PM

^ that only applies when you know the system is stable for hours at end

solid thunder Mar 25, 2020, 4:27 PM

pause and resume does not reset attempt interval - ending the FAH process and restarting it does

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:27 PM

As long as this is set to low priority, you don't have an unstable OC, and you don't like throw a benchmark at it, ~~you can keep using your PC~~ it will be fine

1400 racks are a lot of space, and we're running out of it

I would try to sneak some more folding out from work, but we are not very computer related, so only weak cpu's apart from my rig I got access to, and hardly any point in that.

the program doesn't want to use the entire cpu

especially when we're short wu's

Man... if only I still went to the school I go to

#

I TOTALLY would log into like all the PCs and just set it to medium or something

There were thousands of PCs, all 3rd and 4th gen i5s and i7s, and higher tier ones at that

The ones I had when I worked IT were bog standard, and they all had an i7-4770

gusty path Mar 25, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

RIP Q6600

#

At least it's doing very well under load

#

70 C on a OEM Heatsink

#

Not in danger mode to 100 anytime soon

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

hmmmm

#

maybe my Q8300 might be able to actually do some work since it's just idle

#

also I can't believe a undervolt at turbo for my GPU made it less noisy

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Was it coil whine?

mild kiln Mar 25, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

74 C in RDR2 still but fans at like 24% Fan speed

#

Coil Whine I still hear but I don't mind it

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Ah, so it was just mainly the fans?

mild kiln Mar 25, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

Zotac/iBP won't accept a RMA for Coil Whine Annoyance

#

yeah

#

24-26% Fan speed under heavy load in RDR2

#

Could crank the fans up if I wanted to in MSI

vague flint Mar 25, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

I just cranked mine. My case fans are louder than anything so the GPU noise is nothing. lol

mild kiln Mar 25, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

my case fans are quiet

#

only noise maker RN is my Q6600 machine
