@hushed bobcat did you get a transfer switch?
hushed bobcat
yes, Generac ATS

how much to install the switch?
This house has solar. but its grid tied. no daily cycler battery.

in theory we could have spent $7000 before tax credits and rebates to have one with a built in transfer switch.

@meager hound ok let me say this, i'm not an electrician
but as i understand it it's technically not 2 phase
green monolith
smacks @vague flint upwide the head with a rubber chicken
hushed bobcat
most ppl call it single phase 240V
green monolith
also seems discord servers are having API breakage
hushed bobcat
but i think the ppl who did my work said Split-Phase is more accurate
"The two 120 V AC lines are supplied to the premises from a transformer with a 240 V AC secondary winding which has a centre tap connected to ground. This results in two 120 V AC line voltages which are out of phase by 180 degrees with each other. The system neutral conductor is connected to ground at the transformer center tap. 240 V AC can be obtained by connecting the load between the two 120 V AC lines."
from wikipedia
green monolith
looks at my IRC client
hushed bobcat
"Pole-mounted single-phase transformer with three-wire centre-tapped "split-phase" secondary. On the three secondary terminals, the centre tap is grounded with a short strap to the transformer case."

@buoyant pumice I see you are also going plus ultra

@buoyant pumice little tip, leave 1 core free for each GPU in your system

Thanks glad I live in England its low ambient rn :3
buoyant pumice
is that in advanced settings?

π¦ just my GPUs folding oh well
will just leave it for auto
not gonna force it
i get jobs when servers give em to me
rich depot
best attitude ever!
just let the people who created this software decide whats best, they made it this way for a reason π
green monolith
they are already overloaded enough but when n00bs deside to force it, it makes the backend crash more
like everyone thinks points matter (like on whos line is it anyways)
at least your willing to help so there is that
rich depot
yeah I had a discussion about points with somebody this morning, I was like, if you do this for points during the whole covid thing you are crazy, just help so you won't die
green monolith
and winning prizes is well not cool
oh you folded X amount you win bleh, nope
you know what? i am gonna fold on my washing machine and dryer!
hushed bobcat
i still wanna fold on my router

is it a toaster?

nah, winning a prize is cool. but everyone wins if this folding actually gets a breakthrough

can you please fold my laundry sakura?

you have more RAM that most of my computers have storage

I know, it just I never actually got round to checking the PPD of that thing last time I folded on it

i thought you could only do 32 per CPU slot

but i'd need to install an OS and all that

cant you run xeon 8xxx series in and 8 socket config?

@silver wing sure thing buy it for me and then we will be good
no way in hell i can afford it

have you ever seen an 8 socket board?

we arnt talking blade centers

8 sockets on a single board is too complex
green monolith
no AMD did it
buoyant pumice
home gym and fold, what a way to quarantine
silver wing
yea 4+4 is done, just not all on a single
plus pin count is way higher now too so even harder
those 8 socket system suck density wise, 7U
have to really need 8 sockets under a single OS to care about something like that
never seen one in real life myself
green monolith

sits on top like the DL585 correct?
buoyant pumice
is there anyway to increase the amount of work you can get?
hushed bobcat
nope
buoyant pumice
:/
green monolith
possible dont think i saw the DL585
hushed bobcat
you just have to deal with what they can give
buoyant pumice
I guess they're trying to fix that problem?
hushed bobcat
yea they've been adding servers left and right
its seems a bit ago several went down though

thats pretty hot

jet air?

dunno i run my servers fans at full speed always
hushed bobcat
my 8700k has seen 82C, but thats with the GPU also pumping 260W into the case
so tornado air then
vital hearth
its not like its hot outside or before it started folding...
sadly cant oc my cpu cuz of temps or something bad silicon
green monolith
we might cause global warming!
buoyant pumice
good thermal contact on the cooler?
vital hearth
im using thermal grizzly kryonat or what its called
supple laurel
i had to dial back my OC a little bit. it's was just slightly unstable running maxed for 2-3 hours at a time.
green monolith
liquid metal for cooling long term is bad idea
vital hearth
but maybe need to redo it... just cost and its a pian cuz u have to spread it
hushed bobcat
well its a server so its probably using the same thermal paste that came with the cooler 6 years ago lol
wait v2's maybe 8 years...
supple laurel
my ram OC does not matter.... to make it look nice i'm running 4x8g instead of 2x16g
weary elm
is there a way to limit cpu usage of folding, but keeping gpu at max? like 60/70% for cpu, 100% for gpu
hushed bobcat
hmm
i used to use Artic Silver 5
then i switched to Noctua NT-H1
@weary elm you can set the number of threads F@H uses
green monolith
well to each their own i have a lot of systems so i get alot at once
hushed bobcat
i bought alot of noctua CPU coolers and each one came with a decent sized tube
green monolith
and ~14 bucks for 50g of the stuff aint a bad deal
perfectly fine in servers and destops w/o crazy OC
spark salmon
Replacing Thermal paste won't improve performance unless the core temps are rising and your being throttled - Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its necessarily a "6 - month" rule thing
green monolith
lol i replace mine every couple of years if i am lazy
spark salmon
Yeah, Like... If I have no temp issues I go like 1-2 years
hushed bobcat
i had rising temps after about a year with Artic Silver 5
it was drying out
the Noctua stuff doesnt seem to do that
spark salmon
Yeah that's all I'm saying. If you see rising temps then replace thermal paste... if you don't then its unnecessary maintenance most likely, imo
floral wave
My 7700k hovers around 65-70 when it's folding on it's own. With both it and my GPU going it runs up to like 80-85. Both in a custom loop together, GPU (2080) never goes above 55

that seems quite reasonable

I have an RTX 2080 ti and it's folding with no reserved cores
mild kiln
alright I'll try that with my 2080 TI
rich depot
I set a 16 core chunk, and my 2080ti basically squeezes in
they don't lock the GPU with a CPU thread
it's like saying games can only one 1 thread
rich depot
if u have 4 cores, do 4, not 3, and so on don't listen to fah stuff @mild kiln
unless u have a pentium paired with a 2080ti, then u might not want a task on that pentium
bright basin
it's like saying games can only one 1 thread
@rich depot it's not that they can only use 1 thread, but that there's just 1 main thread.

so if i run cpu only wu then go full send and force f@h use all my cores right?

oh tnx

@bright basin doesn't amtter
if it needs a main thread, it can push the other tasks out of that thread
it scales, you don't need a dedicated thread
all your doing is getting an odd number and not getting WUs
650 watts? thats more than my power supply π

according to the first google hit... @rich depot
ok thanks
trying to figure out why i complete wus but dont get points and they sit sending in my program for a long time
wrong username/team/passcode?
or just gotta wait a bit, its all slow
bright basin
@bright basin doesn't amtter
if it needs a main thread, it can push the other tasks out of that thread
@rich depot it gets to a point where the communication between threads becomes a bottleneck.
bright basin
this rant is about games, not folding
rich depot
fuck games
why is it in #folding-and-boinc then?
I'm saying, u don't need to reserve a thread for foldign
just like you have have light work running int he background of your CPU while gaming.
silver wing
I didn't know you could play with the proteins in FAH...
bright basin
you referenced people saying that 'games can only use 1 thread', that's how this started.
and of course you don't have to reserve a thread, because processors slice tasks up so they're not completely blocking eachother.
meager spruce
I'm still trying to figure out how the locally displayed points work. 67,808 + 82,848 (estimated) = 150,656 but now my local says 84,821. Does the estimated WU points in the log mean that's my estimated total or that's the estimated points I get for that 1 WU?
rich depot
alright, how about ''games need to use at least one thread all to itself''
what is it about people so picky about one phrase and missing the big picture
bright basin
they'll never get to keep it all to themselves because cpu will switch between threads
rich depot
exactly, u don't need windows to specifically reserve a bloody thread for gaming
i have two 1070s in one rig yet only one ever gets folded on ?

I think you need to add it somehow in settings
