Lol, I once was asked to remove the “paragraph marks” from Microsoft word.
I spend a few minutes looking through options, then googling it. All the while being told to just call “Microsoft for the answer “
Lol I’d enjoy being on hold for 20 minutes just waiting for some tech support specialist to just go through the same flowcharts

70% of “how do I do this” can be settled by showing them that the settings menu exists

[pine cradle]

They usually fail at the taking the time to read what is on their screen part
That is so true here in my place, most especially to my classmates or my juniors

[stark bough]

How to tell someone is a power user:
They get given a new piece of hardware/software and within the first 5 Minutes they’re already in the settings menu looking for a dark mode.

[floral wave]

hahahaha

[pine cradle]

Lol

[dusty hemlock]

A sign of a true man of culture

[floral wave]

Seriously how is Dark Mode not just the default setting

[pine cradle]

Same thing to me after downloading F@H

[storm talon]

lol

[marble quartz]

Auto should be default

[storm talon]

yea it's 2020 wtf lol

[marble quartz]

like the best compromise of all

[floral wave]

Wii-Black is pretty great for F@H

[pine cradle]

Btw, is burst 32kb/s upload speed really bad?

[marble quartz]

are u on dial up

[pine cradle]

Blue color doesn't work well for me at night

are u on dial up

More like my net becomes dial-up when people are using during peak times

I'm on 3G network

[storm talon]

yikes

[pine cradle]

Don't mention about DSL, fiber, and 4G.

Those things doesn't exist here in my place

[silver wing]

@storm talon Aren't those PPD in your GIF a bit low? Whats the spec of each of those workers?

[storm talon]

that is unfortunate

[pine cradle]

True, my client is been desperately trying to upload project 11781

[storm talon]

the ppd changes a lot on the workers due to lack of work leadeater

[floral wave]

Time for sleep. May you guys get all the WU's in the world

[storm talon]

specs are quad core 2gb ram

[stark bough]

Lowest Common Denominator of a Power user:
Knows where the “dark mode” settings are for their most used programs.

[marble quartz]

what country doesn't have DSL 😕

or 4g

or is it your hardware

[storm talon]

i've also been tweaking the cluster since yesterday to determine how best to distribute the 128 cores i have

[silver wing]

the est PPD is still based off current job and is pretty accurate after being worked on a bit, just seemed low as most were only showing 10k ish

[storm talon]

10k each is the best i've been able to get yea

[silver wing]

would have expected 20k-40k for 4 CPUs each

[storm talon]

vcpus

not cpus

[silver wing]

you're not core sharing are you?

if so that'll explain it, kinda assumed dedicated resources to each one

not bad idea during WU shortage

[storm talon]

I'm running an esxi cluster running debian 10

[pine cradle]

@marble quartz I live in a rural area so those things doesn't reach here in this remote place. Ofc, 4G, DSL, and fiber exist on urban area.

[storm talon]

been trying a TON of different cpu configs

if you have any suggestions on how to break bad @silver wing I'm all ears.

[silver wing]

how many hosts and what specs?

also you tried the VMware FAH OVA appliance?

[stark bough]

Seriously how is Dark Mode not just the default setting
@floral wave
Well, how else are people going to know where the setting menu is.
Switching from light mode to dark mode is pretty much the tutorial level for a program

[storm talon]

yea it wouldn't import

[silver wing]

oh that sucks

[stark bough]

?Sees someone using the light mode
“Obviously that guy skipped the tutorial”

[storm talon]

I have access to 6 physical hosts

R710x2, R810x3, R510

[silver wing]

you said ~1.5m ppd right? So like 250k PPD per host?

[storm talon]

yup

if they're all running wu's full time

i haven't hit full utilization yet

[silver wing]

Nice, about double my 2x E5-2667 hosts do

[past crest]

Hello

Why I still cant get it running

It already running 2 days straight

[storm talon]

no wu's

[silver wing]

It is working, there just aren't any jobs

[past crest]

How to get the WUs 😫

[silver wing]

you want WUs but so does 400,000+ other people

luck

[past crest]

So I just leave it alone?

[storm talon]

yep!

[past crest]

And it will work out somehow?

[silver wing]

FAH is working on getting more WUs per hour, it's just so much more demand than normal

[past crest]

Okay then

[storm talon]

they've been adding more and more jobs every hour

your client is workin fine thou just wait

[past crest]

Okay

Thanks for the help!

[marble quartz]

you could try a restart, but don't do it often

like if your next attempt is >1 hour

otherwise you're just spamming requests to the server

usually peak doesn't last over an hour or two

but your client opts to wait more than 2 hours

[past crest]

My next attempt is in 4 hours

[storm talon]

pause and restart

[past crest]

I see

[storm talon]

if it's been that long it's worth a try again, but don't spam the server is what we're sayin

[stark bough]

oof. sat down in front of my computer, whos exhaust is pointed at me, and suddenly wanted to open a window

[past crest]

Got it

[stark bough]

realized that my CPU/GPu picked up a task while i was away

[storm talon]

yea she can blow off a good bit of heat eh

[past crest]

Just got an i7 7700 unused system

Might as well use it

Haha

[stark bough]

yeah im running a hybrid video card single exhaust and two intakes.

so basically all the heat is passing through one exhaust.

been thinking about getting a second A12x25 for push pull.

pretty bummed noctua doesnt have a chromax version yet.

right before the pandemic announcement, i picked up a a12x25. glad i did. the stock fan was horrible.

[storm talon]

i'm just glad my shit is stable enough to participate

lot of fussing over this system over the last year pays off

[stark bough]

anyone know what kind of washers/threading/screws i need for a rad with a fan?

and is there any noise dampening washers?

https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/fn8fnm/i_stopped_modifying_my_pc_and_started_modding_my/

oh lol

maybe if there was an alt server that sent out nothing but benchmark units for first timers

lol

[pine cradle]

What happens to the WU if it reaches the Timeout?

[storm talon]

you don't get the bonus

[pine cradle]

Damn

[storm talon]

just got another gpu wu

lets og

go

[stark bough]

i should really chart how long it takes the heatsoak from the hybrid to return to case ambient after a GPU WU is done, but im lazy

[storm talon]

gpu folds be like

[mortal lantern]

Hmm, I just started up F@H and while my CPU is humming away, GPU is stuck at "Download"

[storm talon]

not enough work

wait out

[mortal lantern]

Hah, guess that works

[rich depot]

Linus is sick. The end of ltt is near. Beware

[storm talon]

dennis got it dw

[rich depot]

Dw?

[storm talon]

don't worry

[rich depot]

Oh

True

Btw, did you know that dennis is friends with max? I miss max on the channel

[storm talon]

no clue tbh

[rich depot]

You don't know max? The hand model for ltt that dropped the test bench?

[mortal lantern]

The 2 lonely Linus posts on this server make me sad

[storm talon]

I remember her yes

[pseudo abyss]

exaFLOP 😍

[storm talon]

yea, it's pretty glorious tbh

[eternal oar]

nice

im stuck with this server since 2 hours ago

what should i do?

[fierce steppe]

restart

[eternal oar]

the client or my computer?

[fierce steppe]

either

I've been stuck waiting to download last 2.5 hours as well

[lusty cypress]

@here a word of warning. I installed F@H yesterday and the CPU load is rather extreme, when set to full. The tasks are so demanding that my CPU would have run at 93C if I let it run. However when I CPU stress test all cores on CPUZ my system barely even scratches the 75C mark, even after half an hour of stressing.

The GPU however worked through the night and is still at a chill 65C and never higher. It accrues about 40x the credit of a CPU of the same price. So either carefully thermal manage your CPU so it won't be over 90C 24/7 or don't use it at all, since it will most likely only ever be 4% or less of your contribution.

[eternal oar]

yea linus has warned us in his video about it hitting really hard, harder than stress tests lulz

[empty sand]

Word

[fresh berry]

Agreed. Running CPU at half load with AIO set to aggressive cooling. GPU really heats up the inside of the case and the rad isn't cooling off as much. Still running 80C on CPU, 65C on GPU.

[soft bone]

i dont have those issues, cos it's so long between WU's everything cools off before the next one arrives lol

[silver wing]

@fierce steppe there are 2 more new servers, not sure which ones yet

Oracle made 17 before, few hours ago, now there are 19 in the list

[soft bone]

been working on Project 11760 for about 2 hours now - sitting on a casual 60c on the GPu with fans sub 30%

465274 PPD with nothing on the CPU... good, bad average? (rx580 OC)

[silver wing]

plfah1-2.mskcc.org & plfah1-3.mskcc.org maybe? Anyone got an old pic of the server status page?

[rich depot]

The plfah1-2 and 1-3 are the new ones yeah

[green monolith]

i was promised tacos

and i got none 😦

@silver wing i blame you

[silver wing]

Need to go to a taco truck for those not a FAH Work Server

[green monolith]

but but taco trucks are not to be seen right now

• i dont have a car so I cant go to a drive thru

FML

they dont like serving ppls on foot because this shit

[past crest]

Thanks guys!

It finally works

Yes I know it running hot, because I was improperly apply the thermal paste

I just found i7 7700 lying around and build it for fun lol!

[empty sand]

I've actually been using one of those graphite pads linus reviewed a while back, pretty good results

[past crest]

Only have this one at the office

[stark bough]

@fierce steppe nice. ill keep an eye out for that IP.
also ive been getting a bunch more WU recently.

[past crest]

😫

[vague flint]

I wish I had something like process hacker for linux. I set it to what I thought was 14 total threads, which the first 4 processes seem to be based on percent (400,400,300,300) (I think those are separate processes to represent the main WU loads, and then the children are below it), but then there's 12 more processes below that for a total of 2600%, which would mean 26 process threads

[stark bough]

Servers:

13.90.152.57:8080
128.252.203.9:8080
128.252.203.9
65.254.110.245:8080

[wicked swallow]

anyone else got this? So many attempts but no WU

[rotund flume]

pause then fold

it will reset the timer

[wicked swallow]

thanks

[lusty cypress]

@wicked swallow it also seems that rigs get priority by compute power, I am using my RTX2080 with basically no downtime, longest I have waited for a WU is 15 minutes. However on my laptop where I have a GTX m860 I haven't had a WU in 2 days(that one is only online for the 3rhs/day I actually use it though)

[stark bough]

will adjusting the power slider in MSI afterburner reduce power consumption or should i start messing with voltage curves?

[vague flint]

Ah so I was right, the white/black process directories (on the htop cap above) are the parents, and the green are child threads. I just neglected to see 0x22 threads. So in other words I probably need to do 4 open threads for GPUs since I have 2 GPUs, and there's only 2 available.

[stark bough]

trying to stay in the folding game but overnight power consumption becoming an issue.

[rotund flume]

@lusty cypress yep, im using a 820m laptop and it dealt with the same situation, although the work server assigned my cpu for a 2 days eta wu
rip

[vague flint]

That's prime time

But money is money

I let mine run and I finished a total of I think 500k points which 100-150k more on the way

But I absolutely need to move my server out to the living room. My room is about 10F warmer than the rest of my apartment

[stark bough]

@vague flint lol i already did that.

[vague flint]

And the closet is another like 5F, so like 85F in the closet, 69F ( ) in the living room

[stark bough]

im toying with the idea of putting this computer in a guest room, or building another one. but only if it has good dust filtration

[vague flint]

Who needs dust filtration when you can have maximum cooling airflow

[stark bough]

lol GPU heat soak going from 50 to 30C took like 2-3 minutes.

cause who wants to blow dust out of a gpu fan shroud.

then again the EVGA cold plate also cools the VRMs

[vague flint]

Lol, I don't have canned air and I'm banned from going outside for "non-essentials", sooooooooo

licking the dust off the heatsink it is!

[rich depot]

it's essential... you are providing medical simulations with your computer lol duster is needed for more processing power

[stark bough]

inb4 your antivirus has to run to remove the corona off the IHS, and you lose points due to human malware bytes overhead.

[rich depot]

also there is amazon

[vague flint]

Thankfully I at least have a full tube and a half of AS5 and a bottle of 91%, so I can re-do the thermal paste on both GPUs

[stark bough]

LOL. 3 minutes to go from from 31 to 28 C heatsoak

[vague flint]

lol

[vague flint]

I swear to god, if my 650Ti downloaded another WU before I pressed finish...

Each WU literally takes 15-25 hours on that thing

while true

[lusty cypress]

@vague flint don't worry about not finishing WUs. They get handed out more than once and will be sent out again after a set deadline. Klick on your WUs ID for more info on it

[stark bough]

Gogogogo

[vague flint]

I see. I wonder if I can pause it and turn the system off and then continue it later in the day

[warm vale]

yeah that should work

by default it saves every 15 min

so at most you lose 14 min of work

at least i think thats how it works :D

[vague flint]

Oh, then good thing I turned it down to 10 minutes

I know it decreases performance (lowering the checkpointing), but I literally have no UPSes. So if the power goes out or I trip a breaker (there's no way the outlet in my closet is on a circuit that's more than 10A), then yeah.

[warm vale]

yea thats fair

but you'd lose at most 14 min of work

which imo isnt a huge deal

not sure if its worth keeping it at 10

but then again i dont know how much it really effects the performance

[stark bough]

looks like i just knocked off 40W of power consumption and dropped from 2012 to 1800 mhz by dropping Power target to 50%

[past crest]

@wicked swallow it also seems that rigs get priority by compute power, I am using my RTX2080 with basically no downtime, longest I have waited for a WU is 15 minutes.

@lusty cypress ah no wonder my Vega 64 at home got the WUs just like a minutes, when my i7 7700 at my office took several days

[vague flint]

@stark bough In your screenshot earlier, was that on windows?

[stark bough]

yeah. msi afterburner

[vague flint]

Actually duh I guess it has to be lol

I was about to ask how you changed all that stuff, because I'm running Ubuntu on my server and I can't get any of the nvidia settings stuff to work, lol

All I can do is look at the temps and basic stats

So I looked at my breakers

[lusty cypress]

monitoring system health(hopefully now without any names on it xD)

[stark bough]

[vague flint]

OH I had you two mixed up

I was referencing Mithrandir's screenshots

linux tech tips

[stark bough]

you can also operate remote monitoring on linux

[vague flint]

I mean I have SSH and then my server in the client

thank god it actually stopped, yay

As far as RDP, I could never get that to work with Ubuntu + Mobaxterm

[warm vale]

is XOC still down? cant seem to load the page

[stark bough]

WIIDE

[vague flint]

You mean this?

[warm vale]

yeah that

it works for you?

[vague flint]

Yep

Maybe the server you're hitting is borked

[stark bough]

inb4 blocked proxy

[hushed bobcat]

works fine for me

[vague flint]

But then again, it's a forum, so is there really any way it's running more than 1 server? lol

I really hope paul joins LTT

I wonder what sort of hardware he would throw at it

@past crest I have a rtx 2080 and im getting nothing

[lusty cypress]

we abolished 'working on my machine' in my company by moving basically everything into docker. It's such a blessing, I don't even remember these things anymore xD

[stark bough]

had to remind myself thats supposed to be vodka/wine and not hand sanitizer.

[vague flint]

*moves to docker*
"hmm, well it's working on my instance"

[stark bough]

Hes running on baremetal
"works on my machine. why not run everything in a VM"

[vague flint]

But then again, I guess it depends on where you're deplying that docker to

[stark bough]

But i own a dell, i dont know how to do that

[vague flint]

LOL

[stark bough]

Dammit. i thought i sucessfully got my power consumption to 200W, but then i realized.

i didnt have a GPU WU

[vague flint]

Oh yeah, so I looked at my breakers again just to double check

The total amount of power that I think I have going to outlets is 70A on 120V

[stark bough]

trying to toy with keeping something always running, but getting GPU workload to run at no more than 300W

[vague flint]

However, 40A of that are all the outlets around my kitchen... and the other 30A (2 x15A) are all the rest of the outlets in the house, and that's included in "general lighting". So that includes every light in the apartment plus outlets

So I should be fine on 15A for 2 PCs... but still

[stark bough]

i think my monitor adds about 20-40W. but still it runs at like 380W

[vague flint]

I forgot monitors were a thing. I have three and then a TV

[stark bough]

that backlight eats up a shitload of power.

oh. im at 0 brightness right now on my x34

[hushed bobcat]

my rig pulls about 520W total while folding (including monitors)
thats only 4.33 Amps

[stark bough]

im tempted to set it at 100 just to measure power consumption but i dont want to go blind.

Beginning folders: Obsessed with PPD
Midrange folders: Power consumption

[marble quartz]

I'm waiting for my thermal paste from amazon. Gotta do some thorough cleaning on my laptop before it joins folding

[vague flint]

I forgot I left the XOC website open on my main monitor and it's currently 2:45 AM, soooo yeah my eyeballs were not happy when I turned the monitor on, lol

[hushed bobcat]

a florescent tube backlight would draw a decent amount of power but more modern LED backlights dont draw all that much

[stark bough]

im using my UPS to measure realtime wattage right now

probably not as accurate as a standalone though.

lol i just remembered I printed out the maximum wattage draw on the front.

[vague flint]

Hold on, do I have this calculation right?

kWh = (W * h)/1000

[stark bough]

13050 VA, 0810 W

[hushed bobcat]

https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/watt-to-kwh-calculator.html

yep look like you had it right

[stark bough]

yeah, thats right. /1000 is just a unit conversion

W*h = Wh

1000w = 1 kW

[vague flint]

Okay. It just seemed off, because my power company reports my usage as kWh/day, so is that just a way to say kW/24 hours?

[hushed bobcat]

my PC folding 24/7 would be around 12 kWh

[stark bough]

Pro chem tip. check if the units make sense before you shove in variables.

😄

[hushed bobcat]

per day

[vague flint]

Well right, that's what I meant. It's basically impossible to say "kWh" without either referencing watts or hours along with it

That's really silly, lol, but I'm not sure of an alternative that would just be one number

[stark bough]

watts is a rate of consumption. watthours is a total consumption.

Its like saying " I drink 8 glasses of water"

drink 8 glasses how often? per day? per hour? per second?

[vague flint]

oo per second

I like where this is going

violently chugs inhales water

I use 8 rolls of toilet paper.

[hushed bobcat]

my PC would cost about $480 a year folding

[fierce steppe]

Are solar panels feasible where you live?

[hushed bobcat]

you know my dad just mentioned that the other day

[vague flint]

I think mine would be about $525.60

[hushed bobcat]

if we put them on the west side of the house probably yes

[vague flint]

Do you live somewhere with a lot of sun?

[hushed bobcat]

midwest

lots of sun in the summer

and west side of house has no shade

[vague flint]

I'm pretty sure Paul's hardware made some videos on solar panels for his house, but I haven't watched them really

He lives in Arizona IIRC

[hushed bobcat]

poor A/C has to run about 20 hours a day in the dead heat of summer (95F+)

[stark bough]

@vague flint No. SoCal.

[fierce steppe]

mmm great I'm missing credit for a 123k wu

[stark bough]

we use the same utility

but he has two battteries so he can pretty much store every drop of power he gets.

[fierce steppe]

ffs 14533 again that's still not crediting me

[vague flint]

Oh, lol, for some reason I thought he lived in Arizona

[stark bough]

If you're grid tied only with no battery storage, you still draw from the grid at night.

[vague flint]

Wait but didn't he used to live there?

[stark bough]

dunno. but Newegg is based in corona CA City of Industry CA

but but

they promised they wouldn't do that

[stark bough]

its a great resource. just dont give them your home phone number.

[hushed bobcat]

i just put in my address and current electricity bill

[stark bough]

maybe they changed terms recently

but holy hell the cold calls when we had ours in for already a year.

[hushed bobcat]

btw i have a generator hooked up to the house, maybe a free fuel for it?

or very cheap fuel

i was actually quite surprised how little power my house pulls normally

if the fridges arent on i pull around 6 amps at 240V

[stark bough]

Weather has been bad this year, and we added 2 more to the household, one who requires constant heating :/

2019 vs 2020 solar production

[vague flint]

Oofers

[stark bough]

Added a CPU folder around the 15th and you can see it cracks 40kWH/day after that

[vague flint]

Lol

[stark bough]

So on day 25 the household used as much electricity as day 31 last year

[vague flint]

I think between my two systems (if they were full tilt 100% of the time), they'd be capable of about 26 kWh per day

[hushed bobcat]

hmm if I ran the house on my Gen 24/7 it would cost about $900 a month in fuel

well if i could get fuel for around $0.25 a gallon

also it burns diesel

Just dig a large ditch in front of your home and call it a survival shelter

No one will know it’s gas

[vague flint]

Apparently what a lot of old car owners (like with carbs from the 60s and 70s) used to do (in the 90s and 00s) was get 55 gallon drums of 10% ethanol like 93 and then let it sit for a few months. The Ethanol separates and then you can suck the pure gas from the bottom (which runs better on a lot of carburetors apparently).

[hushed bobcat]

I've also seen ppl run it on Waste Motor Oil

[hushed bobcat]

@vague flint there are 2 reasons why no ethanol is better.

1. Carbs are calibrated for a certain amount of fuel volume, Ethanol has less engergy per liter so you need more of it to get the same punch.
2. Ethanol eats rubber bad, Alot of old carbs had rubber in the accelerator pump, plus the mechanical fuel pumps and soft lines had rubber.

The more techy the server, the more it gets to data hoarding, the more it gets to datahoarding, the more it converts to plex shares.
at any time im willing to bet at least 10% of all plex servers, and at least 40 GB is allocated to the sharing and distribution of Anime and Fansubs.

[rich depot]

I suggest we stop with folding. Went to the store today, there were 21 times that people got closer to me than 1,5 meter, the national guideline. And the majority of them was old people. So I suggest just stopping with folding and all the rules to protect old people, and just let them die.

I wonder if its the Tenser cores in the RTX cards that let it put out massive PPD numbers

[vague flint]

I am hittin 2.0m PPD with just my 2070, 4 3950X threads, my 970, and 10 1700x threads

what is this

I thought my limit would be like 2.2, but I guess it might be more like 2.5/2.6?

[fierce steppe]

I don't think f@H can utilise tensor cores

[vague flint]

Oh, nevermind, I'm stupid

[fierce steppe]

each generation of nvidia cards has seen roughly double PPD

[vague flint]

I was counting but not counting my 970 at the same time

I wonder if my brother has some parts laying around that he'd let me use, or at least get him setup on his own username, even if it's in my apartment. He definitely has a 3570K system, a 1070 FTW3, and a 970 of some sort. I could pair one of those with my 2600k

[fierce steppe]

Part of the reason is not only are the cards able to complete the work unit more quickly, meaning that they can complete more units in a given day which will increase the PPD, but because they complete them faster they also get a higher QRB.
They can do more WUs in a day and they get more points for the same WUs

[vague flint]

I wonder what newer quadro cards can pull off

[fierce steppe]

fffffuuuu

I just realised that the WU i'm about to finish is another 14533

Probably aint getting those credits

[hushed bobcat]

i love my 1080Ti, folding right now and i can still get 144FPS in WoW at 1440p

[rich depot]

https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=223518 number one takes another 2,5 years, not 2,5 days

but it seems that the F@H servers are really struggling, they are only handing out 80k tasks an hour. Last night (for me, so about 14 hours ago) they did 120k

[stark bough]

wow. im at rank 490 right now for 24 hour overall.

[rich depot]

[stark bough]

last folding month i was closing at 150

[vague flint]

Is Anonymous restricted so anyone can use it communally, or does it have a passkey?

[stark bough]

lol i got downgraded.

[rich depot]

@vague flint probably not restricted, which is also sad, cause that number could have been like 5-10x as much

[coarse citrus]

Got my gtx 1070 laptop folding next to my 2080ti

[stark bough]

hot

[coarse citrus]

Yeah according to my laptop monitoring app my laptop is handling it as well as i was expecting it to

but my gpu is OC in this laptop

i have a +150/400mhz OC on the gtx1070 the laptop has

[stark bough]

you gonna leave your lid open during the fold?

[coarse citrus]

its on a cooling pad and yeah

[stark bough]

ive been meaning, but lazy, to see if better thermals are gotten through a tent mode

[coarse citrus]

the cooler it has is beefy for a laptop and i took it off and lapped the copper plate and repaested it with kryonaut a while back

it has 7 heat pipes and 2x5700 rpm fans

[stark bough]

nice. whats always worried me though is dust entering through the intake. used to use a laptop as a desktop replacement, after about 3-4 years of it the fan didnt make a nice noise 😛

[coarse citrus]

Here’s an old pic I took of the internals

[stark bough]

so many pipes. that 1 tb hdd though

[coarse citrus]

It’s has 1tb of nvme storage also

[stark bough]

is that a bare pch?

yeah i was looking at the 970

spinning rust now that 1tb ssds are mainstream make me nervous now in laptops.

well its a thicc laptop so odds are you wont be carying it around

that cooler must have been satisfying to remove.

[coarse citrus]

I use it for college now, I had it as a desktop replacement till I built my 9900k 2080ti rig

It’s still super potent though as it has a 8750H and a 1070

Battery sucks though lol

But yeah it’s a big 17” laptop

But folding at max power it does a WU in 2 hours and makes 67k peR WU.

[rich depot]

damn i am at 50% of my job and it already took 8h

[coarse citrus]

Which I figure if it makes 400k a day that’s about equivalent to 2 of my 2080TI WUs in points

Damn what are you folding on?

That’s a long wait

[vague flint]

the competition starts tomorrow, right?

[formal nest]

is it normal for gpu folding to be around 2% ish utilization?

[vague flint]

Nvidia or AMD gpu?

[formal nest]

AMD

[vague flint]

Hmm

try changing the graphs in task manager

I know mine uses 99-100% CUDA and 40-50% copy

Byut 3D will be only like 2%

[formal nest]

compute module 1 is at 100% other 2 are 0%

[vague flint]

Yeah that too

Seems right to me

What model do you have, and what's the PPD?

[formal nest]

RX460 and 139815PPD

[vague flint]

Sounds about right

It might fluctuate depending on the load, probably from 120k to 150k

My 970 does anywhere from 350k to 500k

[formal nest]

thank you

[dreamy hazel]

close to my first million :3

man cant get a CPU WU to save my life

idk why

[stark bough]

check your logs. if it fails to send its server side

[small current]

i just am

in regulars

[stark bough]

cause you want to pwn your isp

[small current]

wait i can stream 1080 60 on this server?

[vague flint]

For live you can do source 60fps if you have nitro I think

[coarse citrus]

yes cause it has enough nitro boost

[vague flint]

for some reason DMs are restricted to 720p60, 1080p30

[small current]

i dont have nitro

[vague flint]

Oh right, I forgot about boost

[small current]

huh

[coarse citrus]

you can stream at any resolution at 60 fps with nitro cause enough people have boosted this server

or 1080p 60 if you dont have nitro

i normally stream 1440p 60fps on here

[small current]

sorry i stopped

it

i saw my own ip

and i realised i did a stupid

[coarse citrus]

you mean this

[dreamy hazel]

private or public IP though? with the private one, there isn't much anyone can do ;p

[small current]

no

the one(s) at the bottom right

[hushed bobcat]

all i see is time

[coarse citrus]

the work and collection server?

cause i cant see my ip anywhere on here and i know what mine is

[hushed bobcat]

yea i dont see mine either

[small current]

oooh

thats

work and collection

[hushed bobcat]

yea that be them

not you

[small current]

im stupid

[hushed bobcat]

happens to the best of us

you probably just saw a public IP and panicked

[small current]

yeee

im just doing schoolwork and dont have the time to keep an eye on what is going on

[stark bough]

wtf never knew there was mouseover text

[small current]

and uc the gpu when it gets too hot

hmm

i should prob stream hw moniter

[chrome iris]

Any update on the server

[small current]

and then people should tell me if it gets like 100c

it uhh does that

[stark bough]

just get rgb that flashes red 😄

[coarse citrus]

I have a Msi gaming laptop that has this companion app that lets me monitor it on my phone

[small current]

it would be nice if you could pop in every so often and tell me my temps

its a laptop so it gets very hot

oh and ping me

i will have deafen on

[coarse citrus]

Here’s my laptop folding

[hushed bobcat]

ahh a wild CPU WU has appeared!

[coarse citrus]

I have it on a cooling pad to keep it at mid 70s

[hushed bobcat]

my laptop folding

i didnt have a cooling pad so i used noctua cable boxes and thermaltake fans

[small current]

i have 2 laptops and my dads mac folding

[hushed bobcat]

it does about 12500 PPD total (CPU and GPU)

[small current]

i5 3630s i3 6006u and i7 7700hq + gtx 1060 max q

yes i know

we have no amd chips

[coarse citrus]

My laptop has a 8750H and gtx 1070 but I’m not using cpu

[hushed bobcat]

i7-4810MQ and a Quadro K1100M

[small current]

the cpu hits over 100 and tyhats why im streaming hw moniter

[coarse citrus]

The avx load on the 8750h already has it at mid 70c

[hushed bobcat]

i can only run the i7 with 2 threads and with the clocks at 85%

otherwise it overheats hard

[coarse citrus]

I’m using all 12 threads on mine but it’s all avx

[hushed bobcat]

id save 2 threads for the GPU

[coarse citrus]

No the gpu is the only thing folding but the 8750h is still being used as you know

[hushed bobcat]

ohh kk

[coarse citrus]

The 1070 my laptop has is OC and each WU it completes nets 67k

[small current]

i have a 150mhz oc for the 1060 max q

50mhz memeory oc

[odd barn]

henlo

[coarse citrus]

Here’s my laptops afterburner

[coarse citrus]

My laptop has a small 150/400 oc

[hushed bobcat]

Mine

Literally pegged the clock slider

[coarse citrus]

Lol

[hushed bobcat]

Quadro gave no cares

+600 on the memory too

[coarse citrus]

TBF though you slider pegged is still less than my laptops small buff, I know the quadro is way older though. Maybe look into bios flash?

[small current]

to get normal 1060 speeds id need a 450mhz oc

300mhz is unstable

so

big oof

[bright basin]

finally resolved opencl issues

[coarse citrus]

My bleeding edge OC on my laptop is 200/500

[hallow tiger]

?

[hushed bobcat]

BIOS flash a mobile GPU?

the cooler is already anemic and cant keep up

[coarse citrus]

Ahh true nvm

[hushed bobcat]

i took the laptop apart to clean/reapply thermal paste, let me see if i have a pic

look at that little cooler

[coarse citrus]

Ohh that’s small

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509115775752339456/692687178169581628/image0.jpg yeah I think the style of cooling in my laptop should be more common in laptops

[hushed bobcat]

it looks like the chips directly touch the heatpipes

i have liquid metal....

though to be honest i dont think liquid metal will help much

the heatsink is just too small to dissipate the heat

[coarse citrus]

Have you tested the heat pipes to make sure they didn’t undergo dry-out?

[graceful merlin]

[small current]

i mean it depends how long you will be folding for

[graceful merlin]

True

[small current]

even after this is over

[graceful merlin]

probably get a lot more gains playing with voltage curves.

[odd barn]

I'm still waiting for a work unit, so in the mean time I'm training an AI

[cunning moat]

is anyone getting gpu WUs at all?

[warm vale]

yeah have one running right now

do you have advanced control open

if not open it from system tray and under status you can check how long until it tries to find a WU

[cunning moat]

uyeahi have advanced controls open, it's still looking for a GPU WU

[warm vale]

how long till the next attempt?

[cunning moat]

3 mins

[warm vale]

then just wait for that, if still no WU then click pause and thenf old

to reset the timer

[cunning moat]

kk

[hushed bobcat]

try not to reset a ton

[warm vale]

dont do it too often though, like once an hour is alright

[hushed bobcat]

i usually only reset if the next attempt is over 2 hours

yea that

[cunning moat]

got it, so i should probably just wait because i reset not even an hour ago

[warm vale]

ah okay then yeah i would just wait on it

servers are overloaded and not enough WUs to go around 😄

[hushed bobcat]

https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats

[odd barn]

It's great that servers are being overloaded tho

[cunning moat]

that is a good thing, better to have too much than not enough

[gusty path]

Would be greater still if they had more server capacity, it would mean we got more stuff done

[hushed bobcat]

looks like one server is completely down

[odd barn]

That's a new server actually

it was added yesterday

[distant cape]

Very stupid question: do I need SLI to have folding@rancid agate running on two GPUs? I'm 99% sure the answer is no but thought I would ask

[odd barn]

Nope

[hushed bobcat]

no

[tulip fractal]

ayyyyy im now folding and part of the team 😄

[odd barn]

you can do it separately

[distant cape]

Thanks guys

[cunning moat]

nope

[gusty path]

It is no

[hushed bobcat]

actually you cant even fold with SLI on

[gusty path]

They work independently

[tulip fractal]

cranking out wu in around 30 mins a crack

[distant cape]

Thanks a lot everyone, that's what I thought but I wanted to make sure

[odd barn]

There are people who are folding with like 1 750Ti, a 960, a 1080 and w/e

so you're fine

[hushed bobcat]

just add a GPU work slot in your client

[gusty path]

I have now completed 52 WU's in total

[tulip fractal]

<-single 1080 folding and im fine over here

[coarse citrus]

i have a 2080ti and a 1070 mobile folding

[gusty path]

I have 3 GPU's and 2 cpu's set up for it atm, stopped using the laptop, it was a bit tedious to have that running all the time

[gusty path]

Hey this PC is fully loaded with WU's for once, nice!

[mild kiln]

just woke up

so more folding on RTX

[gusty path]

I hope my PC at home got some WU's too

[limber flax]

I have a question for those out there. Anyone doing F@H in docker?

[warm vale]

mine are about to finish in tandem :D

[gusty path]

Nice

[rich depot]

@limber flax what would be the benefit of doing that?

[limber flax]

@rich depot clean install and management. Fast deployment using docker compose. Frankly I have been deploying almost everything in docker images these days so maybe I am getting carried away but I had some setup questions and really was curious if anyone else out there is doing it?

for reference I am using the following image: https://hub.docker.com/r/yurinnick/folding-at-home

[hushed bobcat]

https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/foldingathome

[limber flax]

@hushed bobcat THANKS! that looks like a much better image than the one I found

[rich depot]

@limber flax makes sense. Sorry for asking, I just see a lot of people who are afraid of security and therefore want to add overhead and stuff

and I was like, not another one

[limber flax]

@rich depot Hey I'm learning here too, so no means going to pretend like I'm doing it the best way either.

what I'm runnning into though is I am unable to configure (lacking a desktop) I am not quite sure how to configure via the command line

[hushed bobcat]

glad i could help, ive only messed with docker once when i tried to make a Steam Cache

after about 8 hours i gave up

[rich depot]

oh no problem, I was more like, not another stupid person that thinks this software is gonna steal all your data and stuff. but your docker thing makes sense in your usecase 🙂

yeah I'm not the best with docker either 😦 but I'm sure its great once you know how to work it 😂 @hushed bobcat

[gusty path]

oO I instantly got a 2nd WU for my CPU, what is this!?

[rich depot]

thats luck

I've been waiting for 6 hours for new wu's on both gpu and cpu

[mild coral]

finally got a GPU WU after 12 hours

[coarse citrus]

really im running my 4th and 5th WU currently this morning since 4 hours ago

[empty island]

I've been getting back to back CPU and GPU all day, I thought Linus got the server up and running

[mild coral]

i havent gotten anything

no cpu stuff either both machines waiting for cpu WU

[ocean iron]

I disabled CPU folding since CPU hit temps of 98degrees Celsius. GPU is folding at max power at 75 degrees 👍 (disadvantage of small build and air cooling)

[bright basin]

[rotund flume]

the opposite for me since my gpu is buggy and cant do anything

[bright basin]

define buggy

[ocean iron]

Waiting or downloading means GPU waits for server assignment. Other statuses can be fixed with gpu driver update

[rotund flume]

@bright basin usually got error clGetDeviceInfo (-5) most of time assigned a wu, rarely found a wu that i guess support my gpu (820M)

[meager spruce]

Does anyone know if restarting the FAH service helps with getting new WUs? I feel like I've had some success doing that.

[warm vale]

nah you probably had success because that probably makes it search for a WU when you restart it

[lusty cypress]

@here a word of warning. I installed F@H yesterday and the CPU load is rather extreme, when set to full. The tasks are so demanding that my CPU would have run at 93C if I let it run. However when I CPU stress test all cores on CPUZ my system barely even scratches the 75C mark, even after half an hour of stressing.

The GPU however worked through the night and is still at a chill 65C and never higher. It accrues about 40x the credit of a CPU of the same price. So either carefully thermal manage your CPU so it won't be over 90C 24/7 or don't use it at all, since it will most likely only ever be 4% or less of your contribution.

@ocean iron I posted about this this morning. I really wouldn't use the CPU, the temps don't even compare to what I get on CPUZ stress tests for example. I assume this is because of heavy cache usage, but that might be a topic for a cool LTT episode. Anyway the CPU doesn't contribute much, as compared to a GPU

[rotund flume]

Does anyone know if restarting the FAH service helps with getting new WUs? I feel like I've had some success doing that.
@meager spruce it helps with resetting the assigning clock, but you can achieve the same effect by pause and then unpause the wu

[meager spruce]

Thanks for the details everyone 🙂

[mild coral]

so i know this chat isnt for this but anyone interested in watching bloodshot on twitch lol

im streaming it rn lol

[bright basin]

[vague flint]

Nekky

[serene heath]

Anyone know how to solve error: 10053? I am getting it quite a often.

"An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine"

[jade flicker]

hey, does someone know if the FAH client can pause a WU and continue after a reboot?

[rich depot]

is wu's worked on stored on a hard drive?

@jade flicker yes, you can

You might lose 15 minutes of work maximum

[jade flicker]

from the lost time during reboot or does it actually lose work already done? should I "pause" it before?

[rich depot]

It saves at least every 15 minutes the work done. So that. Not sure if pauzing helps with the lost work tbh

[jade flicker]

can the saved state "expire" if the reboot takes to long or if I want to continue the next day?

[fierce steppe]

extremeoverclocking seems to be struggling with the updates, either that or FAH stats are running way behind

[rich depot]

Fah stats are behind

@jade flicker each wu has to be done within a certain time, check your wu's timeout

You can also just click finish and it'll continue till kts done, then stop

[jade flicker]

ah, thanks

seems to be a timeout of like 10 days

[mild kiln]

boom

[rotund flume]

poggers

[mild kiln]

4th 3 core is doing Myosins

all else is COVID

Q6600 is Cancer ATM

[chrome iris]

Only managed to get 2 or 4 wu in the last two days

[mild kiln]

Poor Q6600

Meanwhile Ryzen 3 3200U

I wonder to do GPU on my laptop but I think a Vega 3 Mobile is on par in compute time as a GT 730 of a day

[rotund flume]

meanwhile i3 4030u

[mild kiln]

oof

[rotund flume]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mild kiln]

2 core with hyperthreading

[small relic]

just checking asus 2080 running at 80+ c is normal?

[serene heath]

Anyone know how to solve error: 10053? "An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine". I am getting it quite a often.

[mild kiln]

that's normal

[serene heath]

So just ignore it?

[rich depot]

@small relic which asus, strix? no. Turbo? sure

ltt is the forth now in FaH

@mild kiln Don't split your cores, you won't get the bonus points

[mild kiln]

I get 0 CPU WUs without it

[rich depot]

just wait

the wait is worth the extra pts, trust me

and you can stop n restart, that forces it to scan for wu

or at the very least, do 8/8 not 4/4/4/4

[wheat lynx]

@serene heath close the viewer, its broken

[floral wave]

I'm starting pretty consistently get CPU WU's again

[wheat lynx]

for me it's gotten better, but still not great

[warm vale]

@small relic 2080 super asus rog strix here and it runs at around 65-70c

soo im gonna assume 80 is high

[mild kiln]

lol. Full made the Q6600 go faster

I'll do 15 again

if not then 8/7

cause 1 core left needed for RTX

[dreamy hazel]

hitting 1m today?

absolutely no CPU WU's left though :/

[odd barn]

oh well

[open relic]

Had my PC on all night and it only got 2 WS Assignments assigned to it...

[rich depot]

i know dat feeling greg xD

[merry frigate]

anyone know why my PPD went so low all of a sudden? I was getting like 1mil PPD a week ago and now am at belowe 100k. 1080ti w/ Ryzen 1700x

[fierce steppe]

You were paused for 6 days so you lost the quick return bonus

[merry frigate]

oh I see

[ocean iron]

@wheat lynx i use the viewer, using this fix https://gist.github.com/alfanhui/fd69de8354047609fad5ebbef829eb94

Just download and extract the viewer from the 7.4.4 version setup. Exe together with a dll and it can be used

[fierce steppe]

Yeah, if you're planning on not folding for a while it's best to set the client to Finish so that the units will complete and then it won't start new ones.
If you just pause it the amount of points you will earn from them will slowly drop, eventually it will time out, and after a week it will expire

[pine cradle]

That's one big protein

If I remember correctly, I have the same size as with you from my previous folding

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/509115775752339456/692374661622661270/unknown.png

[ocean iron]

Yeah it's the effect of antibodies on Covid testing

[pine cradle]

My project isn't specified on the website which is Project 11781

btw, does it lag very hard when you check the viewer?

[rich depot]

I'd test it for you if I had a wu

[pine cradle]

I might not gonna fold at this moment...

because internet problems. most especially to uploading speeds

from 64k credit from yesterday, now it's 16k

very desperate trying to upload it for more than 18 hours

[rich depot]

looks like one of the servers that was down is now up again 🙂

[odd barn]

LOOL

[pine cradle]

honest day's work gone to waste

[ocean iron]

Is Linus his server already up?

[pine cradle]

🇫

[odd barn]

nope

but I have a feeling it's going to be the new server we see in the server list

anything is more than likely

I would love it if Linus built a petabyte server specifically for F@H

[ocean iron]

Linus is that kind of guy that actually would do that, 1 for the challenge, 2 because it's for a good cause

[solid thunder]

wasn't it brought up in the recent video on it, like right at the end

[rocky otter]

@rich depot you can easily turn it off or set it to run only on idle so that it doesn't mess up when you're gaming

[fierce steppe]

Teams earned 1.48 Billion points so far today and it's only midday

[rich depot]

@ocean iron 3. because he gets the shit for free as long as he makes a vid about it

[forest sapphire]

Anybody know how I can look at the web client from a different computer?

I basically want to be able to monitor my folding remotely from my phone or tablet

[fierce steppe]

teamviewer? lol

[forest sapphire]

well I can just RDP into my desktop if I want

lol

[fierce steppe]

The advanced control has remote monitoring

[forest sapphire]

I drive for instacart and I would like to be able to monitor it easily while I am out. I don't need it to be publicly accessible as I have a VPN.

[odd barn]

All this antibody testing is really making me excited

[forest sapphire]

Okay well I thought I would check to see if I could.

[odd barn]

means we're one step closer to realizing how we can stop this

[forest sapphire]

right

I keep getting potential drug target ones

working on one on the GPU right now, and the CPU on my macbook

CPU on my desktop hasn't picked one up in quite some time

[odd barn]

Just got a CPU unit

and now im getting a phone call from shenzhen

[fierce steppe]

... I... Don't think those two things are related...

[dreamy hazel]

just got my very first cpu unit of the day

running really scarce today aren't we

[pseudo abyss]

havent gotten anything for some hours

neither CPU or GPU

[dreamy hazel]

that's a high amount of ppd for 4 cores

damn

[bronze minnow]

hello

why my FAH WU doesent get a job? It has been trying to get one for 12hours...

[rich depot]

because its busy

there is like 10 times the usual people folding. the servers are kinda busy

and the fact that the longest any of their servers has been online since last restart is 2 days, and most of them restarted today. I'm guessing they are doing a lot of work on maintaining and improving their stuff

[bronze minnow]

Ohh, OK

Thanks for the anwser

[mystic hollow]

working full blast

[forest sapphire]

i've had 23 attempts at getting a CPU WU 😦

[pine cradle]

for 20 hours of trying to desperately upload this project, it's done

[rich depot]

nice

I've stopped trying to get wu's for now. I like my room a bit quieter and its not working anyway.

[pine cradle]

Also, why the protein viewer doesn't let me view the proteins on my CPU WU?

It's just stuck at Loading state

[pallid cedar]

@forest sapphire 13 attempts here so far. I wonder what the bottleneck is? Servers can't allocate enough work?

[pine cradle]

I got one WU on my CPU after quick exit and open

[rich depot]

bottleneck has been servers since corona

not sure though if its creating wu's, handing them out or receiving finished wu's and processing those
