we're flattening the curve
how bad is it that none of the servers have a uptime of over a day....
i guess some have 2 days
It might be a requirement to upload new working units? The work and collection servers seem to always be different
failed WUs from people's PCs turning off or running out of time?
also the warning is "Collection server not connected"
those are the IP addresses of the other work servers
Help?
lol wtf is this webpage
the default web page
@dire widget try incognito
Okey thanks
good way to check if the server's actually up dark
ah I see
So now the CPU has full work. It went from about 65C to 55C with ducting and moving to the living room 
It’s working, thank you!
welcome to the team Joe!
Yee
Chrome doesn't play well with that page, I use Edge for that page (and it's the only page I'll ever use Edge for, lol)
lol
edge
or just use the advanced
i use firefox
Time to use my pc for something other than sporadically playing vr
actually donated 50$ this year to the mozilla foundation
CPU @ 72c, GPU @ 77c. SEND IT BOYS
I sent her a little too fuckin' hard, bud. now in full Beam.NG
game: BeamNG.drive.
Sound bite (audio meme):
I actually made my name as an homage to Larry Enticer
I'd love to get a 1060 or something to replace my 650 Ti with
I rocked a 1060 6gb for 2 years
great card
my boss is running it in his gaming rig now
I know my brother has a 1070 and 970 just laying around. Maybe I can to borrow them, even if I make an account for him
he got drunk one night and i convinced him to buy me a 1080ti in exchange for my 1060
my excuse was "they're only like 200$ apart"
he just wanted something to run his vr and the 1080ti amp extreme was super overkill for vrchat
I got an rtx 2070 for vr and folding
03:46:56:WU08:FS04:Final credit estimate, 225391.00 points
Damn highest I've ever seen
that's pretty good for 1 wu
Should push me over 12mil score
I wasn't initially buying for folding. I play a lot of Rust and record/edit for my extremely small youtube channel
so the 1080ti was a great addition for me
I’m givin her all she’s got, Captain!
Don't blame you. Better to have it run stable and last longer
I just like to tinker mainly
i've done overclocking in the past for interest/learning
But if OCing my 2070 and CPU means more PPD then I'm totally down, lol
but yea, i prefer to leave it as it was bornt
Oh I guess FatH hasnt updated, I'm at 12.7 not 12 as of web client
friggin send it joe
Oof... my 2070 just crashed
anyway to get a different server to send to
LOL
todaso
I bought everything second hand for my rig, so if it were to have a millisecond of instability it's a "oh shit" moment for me
mostly on /r/canadianhardwareswap
Oh nice
yea that sub is dope
I feel bad that I made my GPU unstable and lost a WU 😦
I should've benched it with like Furmark before resuming
it didn't recover the work? try restarting
I did, but it just downloaded a new one to work on
F
oddly, my GPU has been slow. It's usually 1.2-1.5m, but it was sitting around 0.9-1.0
I wish I could put my main desktop in my living room too and just run longer wires.
My 1080Ti has been doing the same thing
about 15% lower than usual
probably different WU's
we solved all the hard ones they have now we're just doing easier ones
I found that website I was talking about https://labgopher.com/
don't buy anything below a r710
or a g6
I have a 610 in the basement can't be bothered spinning it up
R720 or better
All my computer’s power is in my GPU reeeeeeeee
Does anyone know how to enable the GPUs to fold as well?
yup, add a gpu slot
LTT server back online
its interesting how my media server has more point potential compare to my pc
left side is my PC and right is my Media Server
they got the CS up and running nice
Wait, I thought the folding client was limited to 32 threads?
nope
i thought that too
People always say how "high temps shorten your CPU lifespan" etc. blah blah.
Does anyone have any actual hard proof, facts, datapoints, etc. that show it actually does, or by how much?
Or is it like saying "I lost $100,000..." but you ask how much money they have and it's "$300 Million" So in the grand scheme it's like yes, you technically lost some money but it's insignificant.
Just curious.
but this morning i saw someone with 96 threads on a slot
Consistent high temps can cause catastrophic failure. Home CPU's are not designed for sustained loads. So the arguement is kinda left hand right hand
a server can run balls out 24/7 at full 100% utilization no problem. not so much for a gaming pc
I've also noticed that Xeons have a lower Tj Max than desktop CPU's
yea but most xeons have a ton of 10krpm fans blasting over them
if you guys could hear my data centers right now
Just wondering because I ran my 6850k between 80-100C for like 4 months straight and it's still chugging along
No, stock. AIO pump failed but I didn't know it did. Just thought my mobo was throwing bonus temps
Well I finally realized it was the pump and picked up a Noctua NH-D15s
Now it runs at like 30
mmmm Noctua
105W TDP 
But I guess my point is that, people FREAK OUT on the forums, etc. when things run at like 80, 90, 100...and I'm just saying, I did for months and months...so maybe the whole "your CPU will fry so quickly" is a bit overexaggerated? I dunno
There is no doubt that it'll, on paper, exponentially reduce your CPU's lifespan
But I haven't seen someone say that their CPU just died
I don't know if anyone has run an overclocked CPU, or any CPU, on full tilt for more than a couple years
some of the uptimes on my esxi boxes are over 300 days
I just turned my box fan from 1 to 2 and everything has gone down 2 C so far, lol
I need to re-seal some parts of the duct though
are you sucking cold air in from outside and thru ur pc?
i think my record is 6 weeks straight at full tilt
allowed me to test my overclock lol
true
this is a very good stress test
we're using it for basically the same reason on our clusters at the offices
just to see if they can go full tilt 24/7
what errors pop up, etc
Yeah, it I have the window open and it's sucking in air straight from the window, venting into the rest of my apartment which is about 500 sqft for that section
cubic is probably like 4,500-5,000 cubic feet
Full tilt, making less than before mainly cause of my 2070 not performing like it should
But the other system is the same PPD after removing 2 threads to give more room for the GPUs
Oh and it's also snowing and about 1-2C outside right now, lol
I thought I heard what really wears down your cpu/gpu is more the thermal cycling than constant 100% load
if its snowing the Humidity is probably quite low
moose that's the eternal debate man
what really kills hardware is either 1: shitty silicon or 2: improper overclocking or cooling installation
I'd say heat is a factor, but Voltage is more important. IMO
well I can't overclock on this laptop, but I can undervolt so I guess that helps lol
actually what I used to do is overclock at stock voltage until it became unstable, then back off 100 MHz
Colorado is not very humid most of the time, so it's no biggie
sometimes i could get 500 MHz, sometimes none at all
And it's not just sucking in 100% outside air, so it should be more like 40-50F going into the system
i remember an old Core 2 Duo I had, stock Clock was 2.53 GHz, all i could get out of it was 2.57 GHz. LOL
when I tried 2.6? it just went NOPE
||Wash your Hands||
Hey so does anyone here have a quick rundown on how to start folding on Manjaro, Found the AUR package but can't seem to work out how to start using it
I've still been getting constant work units
I've still been getting constant work units
@carmine yarrow lucky you
sad me lulz
btw
anyone knows how to track f@h's total contributor rn?

@dreamy tendon https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/installation-guides/linux/manual-installation-advanced/
I forget what Manjaro is based on but this should work right?
Lol it's prob custom
Day one blog for the folding event is now live for those of you that are signed up! https://linustechtips.com/main/blogs/entry/1815-day-one-in-the-beginning-he-said-let-there-be-folds-and-it-was-good/
And the first day of the event has officially taken off. But first, a PSA, due to data corruption these stats run until 0300GMT, 28th of march, so the stats here reflect 27 hours of folding. As for the participation requirements, they will remain as is FOR NOW, but this is und...
hes doing 12mill a day?
shit i got crushed
gonna see if adding another CPU gets me at least to 500 by the end of the weekend but theres no way im beating a 1080 ti
what stats are you looking at
@rich depot what are you calling a day midnight to midnight-GMT?
i was surprised to not see you like top 10. did you not enter?
i'm guessing he got more then just a few computers sitting around the house....
He's away from home so can't fire up his usual lot. no they are all his own machines in his house
@unique sigil Read the blog!!!
gotta be Tesla or Quadro Compute Servers
i mean what was LTT rig 6 titans was 16mill?
Nope, a 'I still have two 2080s, two 2080 Tis, and a 5700 XT. I just can't fire everything up because I'm not home to monitor.'
Thats the king btw, not me
he's probably that one guy on default rn
so he has that sitting and is still doing 12mill a day.....
It's a shame Gordon didn't register for the event, would have been the carrot dangling off the stick Den-fi needs to get the rest of the systems online
Thats what he has running atm, he can clear 25+M PPD if he actually tries
Agreed spotty
everyone playing the pronoun game
?
i dont know who you guys are referring to exactly
scroll up and read the post spectrum made about the day 1 stats of the contest
Exactly
In the blog, that is if you signed up for the event
LMFAO!
I'm 264?
wow thats alot higher than i thought
I didnt think i'd make it to the top 500
kinda curious where you got the data
i couldnt find a "last 24 hours" ranking on EOC
I find it interesting that the last 3100 ppl have 0 points
We pull th edata directly from stanford servers and process it ourselves @hushed bobcat
nice
they need to give LTT more WU's to hand out.... the last two batchs went out in like 5mins
Could just be testing the server making sure they go out properly and can be submitted
No point putting out 500,000 work units if something goes wrong and they can't collect
16404 is currently the work unit assigned to LTTs server
https://apps.foldingathome.org/project?p=16404
Base credit 420 
got another LTT WU before it ran out again, lol 
very hot boi folding
but hes going fast tho
I prob got 1 or 2
should i reapply thermal paste if the temps are this high?
liquid cool it with thermal paste
Make sure to remove overxloxks
without knowing what CPU you have, what cooler you have, what overclock and voltage you're running, what your ambient temp is...
Can't really tell you if that is good or bad
I didn't get the chance to ramp up my power profiles this morning and only got to it at 9 pm
so of course id drop to 900
I was stuck waiting over 2 hours for a GPU WU earlier
I figured id be lucky to get within top 600 anyway against single card users.
now if it were burst coin and we used HDD space 😄
ohh? how much space do you have available
without knowing what CPU you have, what cooler you have, what overclock and voltage you're running, what your ambient temp is...
Can't really tell you if that is good or bad
@fierce steppe i7 3632qm, so i need to disassemble the laptop
right now having a fan blowing at the intake on the laptop
if I hooked up all my 'readily avaliable drives. probably about 80-95 TB
but rip all my backups though
if I hooked up all my 'readily avaliable drives. probably about 80-95 TB
@stark bough thats a lot for a comsumer
youdd probably a prosumer
Got my 2 pcs running for the night my main picked up a cpu and gpu almost instantly
consdering that still a lot of people still consider a 500 gb ssd and 2 tb hdd a lot.
if i erased my backups and put every hdd in my NAS i could manage about 20TB
consdering that still a lot of people still consider a 500 gb ssd and 2 tb hdd a lot.
@stark bough true, i used to have 120gb hdd and i think thats a lot
pets my 300TB+ space
you got lots of tinny hdds tho 😛
you have 300 TB Free? @green monolith
you got lots of tinny hdds tho 😛
@stark bough not really, have 2 laptops in my house, my give down has the 120gb 5400, my dads ones with the almost 100C 3632qm folding atm has 1 1tb 5400
I'm fine with my 4 tb of nvme and 4tb hhd

love ya jakkuh, kekeke
more important point, he's expecting the ltt receiving server to be up this weekend with a 5gbit pipeline
hes on the same network... hes got a 10gig network to it
nice we cracked 3 billion points over 24hrs
awesome!
OMG, it is up!
it went live during the WAN show
Is it just cpu compute rn?
i think the ones it had was CPU only but it's out right now
Mine is running currently
Put a fan on it to keep my cpu comf
Not like it needed it
I never goes over 70
Sitting at 64C rn with the fan
thats good cooling
i should really put some rgb lights in my case.
It's at 4.25ghz
blue ones though, to keep the temps down
what your looking for is the work server to match the linus1 server IP. should end in .125
red ones make it run faster.
1.36v vcore
Put a fan on it to keep my cpu comf
@austere forge me tipping at 99C with a fan as well
tbh, its a laptop so the cooling department is pretty underwhelming
think ill run green lights for better power efficiency.
99
Bruh
Yo
I cant wait to wake up to my gpu roaring
I set up the cooling to be overkill
90% at 60c
damn thats cold
My gpu is at stock clocks rn
for me only, cause i havent use any good pc up to this point in my life
only laptops
I used to have a phenom laptop
It died aug 2018
I had already started build my desktop by then
i used to use a core 2 duo laptop and its power brick died in 2018 as well

I honestly wouldn't fold if my cpu temp got to 99c
nice, you've been watching the ltt vids about that?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZKJuX9v64k its awesome
We get people telling us they don’t have money for a laptop just about as often as we get people asking us which laptop to buy, so we figured.. why not answer that other question for a change?? Can you earn enough mowing lawns in the summer to afford some sweet tech?

Just started watching tons of videos
Learning about pc hardware
Pretty happy with how far I have come
nice 🙂
Save a little longer
I'm good
Save up bro
@austere forge im saving rn, got a saving acc and now waiting to turn 18 to be able to build my own
I'm paying full coverage insurance on my new girl
?
I thought about getting a Mazda3 as a daily so I don't destroy my Miata further than it has been
Mazda 3 is based
Great platform for modifications
Also a great daily
I need a need a flywheel and clutch sadly
So no pc parts for a while
Its 4 in the morning
Braindead af
9:45 here, just woke up
48 mins eta until my current wu done and i can let my laptop cools down
such a stress for the system to handle
Starting to lose track of how many work units have failed to credit me in the last 2 days
wdym? What causes them to fail to credit you?
Server issues
They're completing successfully but they can't send the results back to the work server, so they go to the collection server instead
But none of the work units going to the collection servers are being credited right now
well shit
Officials: "Everyone, please stay home"
Pets at home: "No, please go away"
yep
to much RGB
this was before i had any rgb
Too much R
one light strip
I'm surprised the rear exhaust fan has a grill... Did that come with the case or did you add it?
i have some added grills
on some of my cases
because fansspin is super fast
freak being quiet
i want cool
plebs that want quiet systems
thats freaking gross
lmao
looks like unicorn shit
the whole thing with clear side pannels was to see if your rig was ever to catch on fire
or LAN parties
but none of you n00bs ever really went to one
i can smell these things
i should get this rig back up and running https://nuku.neko-network.net/screenshots/e8643iXobcb9.jpg
A+ for the cable management
Bruh! Pick an AMD EPYC
hm, 1M gained in 1 day, but it might be just delayed adding of points from previous days
lol
I think I kinda won the silicon lottery in a way
some of my cores can do 4.55Ghz
Not bad
my all core max is 4.25Ghz at 1.27v
Bios or Ryzen master?
ryzen master
Nice
thanks
I still haven’t figured out RM
I’m more interested in undervolting that OCing
I’ve been putting it off since I’ve been lazy in coming up with benching temps before and after.
I don’t like running prime 95 for testing temps over time. One time I got some coil whine I think and it didn’t go away after
yeah prime 95 is brutal
This is going in my room and the last thing I want is to have a permanent coil whine
yeah nothing grinds your teeth more than that
COVID caused the ikea show rooms around me to close, and I was planning to put this in my room once Ingot the layout figured out
so that’s getting delayed
@mystic hollow Are you in the competition? What’s your score and placement?
I just realized adding RGB to my rig means it would cost just as much as a a12x25
lol
is this help enough 🤔 took 3-4days i think
Get a F12 chromax for push pull rad, get another brown a12x25, or just wait for a12x25 chromax
anything that helps is a win in my book
lucky
Did it every time I’m at the pc, but still
@last imp
I had to reinstall the client and it’s fine now fortunately.
@stark bough what competition ?
1 point is better than 0

@stark bough i could, but meh 😄
This is 27 hours of latest, not lifetime
For a second there I thought that was Gordon freeman
Every day I regret not getting a 3900x despite knowing that 98% of the time I won’t use it al, lol
I’ve been getting constant WU all night. Maybe LTT got their server approved and online?
we can only hope xD
He said he was just waiting on approval from FAH during wan show tonight, video to drop Sunday or Monday.
hm 3 days and my gpu is still on "Paused: waiting for idle" even after reboot o.O does anyone know how to fix that error?
oh good to know monster~
I heard if you set it to medium it would, but honestly I couldn’t get it to “go idle” even at medium.
Junz its on light o.o
Maybe someone smarter than I can make a how-to guide to get it to go idle on windows.
@pseudo abyss This is the norm I think
Finally had time to throw Pop OS on the 3970X build. Was getting 6.8M on average with the 2080 Tis. Now it's 8.6. Geez.
damn, non stop wus
my mining rig with 8x 1060s been working its ass off for the past 16 hours
one after another
Nicee
@rich turtle dam... how much hardware are you running?
Right now 4x 2080 Ti and 2x 1080 Ti.
😮
Can I ask what your normal usage for those is, if they aren't folding?
Nice
probably cause Linus can't go to the office because he is a bit ill
Server still has no beta or public jobs or even a PT Assignated
Maybe in the next 48hours will start running?
it is assigning stuff so thats weird
but that dash is pretty much abracadabra to me anyway, I only check the total assign rate there
Interesting, Idk how that works tho so maybe
it was sending out units last night. I got one. But our guess it that the 1st 2 batches of WUs where tests to make sure it could send and receive units. before it starts doing it in mass.
I'm expecting that there are resources online that explain how to read that dash but meh, too tired to google it
FAH assign1 Server at the very top

giggles
Hey I actually earned half a million points while I slept. So that's what it is like when you just get WU's!

Yippie
Server did not like results, dumping lol
lmao
@rotund flume did your pc crash?
if not, u will probably still get the points
what is before sending unit results?
whats folding on guys
is there a way for me to see what projects ive been contributing to without going over the logs?
https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats linus server confirmed online
Just joined the team I think I have both of my systems all set up but not entirely sure. Am I supposed to have my Render PCs linked up to a specific server? Or just have the app running?
you just need to have the Team number set up
Got that part covered
make sure both have the same user and passkey
I did.
should be good just keep the app up.. i have done nothing since installing.. its all automatic so it seems.
ohh are you talking about the work and collection servers?
i have had to restart the pc a few times..
Yes
also when i say restart the pc a few time maybe one time a day.. if i feel it gets confused.. lol
but that could be my old 980ti unable to really keep up with better stuff..
I restart my computers about once every 2 weeks to a month
Both my systems are a tad powerful one rocking an i7 & a GTX 1060 and a Ryzen 7 & a RTX 2070.
also the 980Ti should be pretty decent at folding
it doesnt do bad.. i think i got 400k points yesterday and pushing 300 today
mostly on the 980 as well got very few cpu projects.. running a 2700 with 32g mem
Cool. Both my systems have 32GB as well
3D rendering is the job of both PCs so they should do fine originally bought and built them for gaming originally then just gave the older one an upgrade when I bought the Ryzen system. Now I'm trying to learn how to build 3D projects, CAD and animation. Just a bit tired of gaming at times and need to do somthing constructive.
yeah mines not really a mining rig.. I built it for my 8 year old daughter to do her school online.. and some mild gaming for me.. i literally heard about folding 2-3 fridays ago on the wan show. thats why i started. knew nothing about it till then..
My PPD is estimated between 1.8-2.5 million, but I've only been getting 500k-850k because there's not enough WUs
yeah, that's been a problem. It seems to be getting better though
Date Points WU
03.27.20 649,375 24
03.26.20 750,390 18
03.25.20 679,406 20
03.24.20 704,545 18
I havent heard they ever were
If anything we are ones doing the DDos'ing lol
well, basically the people trying to fold are also ddossing them
yeah
I did notice a few strange things in the eoc stats though,
yeah it was on twitter feb 20th
i know the one at midnight was an EOC error
i just didn't know if it was still happening...
Hopefully I can even get a work unit
How long is your retry time?
just reinstalled window on my 6700 I got this morning
Ah nice
Went from a 6500T to a 6700 :p
Was gonna say, if you split up your CPU into smaller 4-thread chunks it should get more WUs
I'm not sure how to do that... Is there a tutorial
Advanced Control > Configure > Slots. Then you can add/remove slots and adjust as needed
Do I just keep adding slots until it shows 8 CPU slots?
and keep the number there as -1?
But since you have a 6700 I would restrict it to 6 threads and just keep one
You should leave 1 core open for your GPU, 2 threads if you have HT/SMT
You could also try 2 3-thread slots, but I'm not sure
Not even noon and I'm already at 520k. Today is gonna be a good production day. Hopefully I can finally hit over 1m in a day.
okay, looks like one of them got it
Oh. Does it have a GPU? Is it your main desktop or something just sitting around?
This is my main desktop but I barely use it
I see
Yeah I'd do 2 3-thread slots
Change one of the slots to "3"
Then "add" and do another "3"
hmm
Having trouble?
I see what you're doing, just had to get it in my head is all
Lol no problem. So it's all good now? You've got two CPU slots with 3 each?
im using my 2080 ti
yep there it is, lol
2080 Ti is like a fucking nuclear bomb while my 2070 is like a few sticks of TNT, lol
perfect i love hearing that lol
It's true though. 2070 is 1.0-1.5m ePPD. 2080 Ti is apparently 2.5-3.5m depending on who you ask
that sounds about right my 2080 ti i normally sit around 2.6-2.9
and it didnt update from last night i have 45 wu done and just over 3.2 mil now
😦 wu's handed out are slowly going down again, rip 😦
anyone have idea how I could configure my pc to go to sleep after finishing a WU
Hmm
@vague flint This might just be me. but by splitting your CPU in to muti groups instead of just 1 your just hitting a already overwhelmed server more times and your not helping anything go faster.
I think corsair glitched out and nearly overheated my cpu because for no reason it turned off one of my radiator fans when I was folding
@supple laurel as far as I can tell, there's only one process that looks for work from your client. Splitting it down may increase the total amount of requests that it does for work, but it also increases the chance of you getting a WU and the amount of work you do overall
At least for me, it seemed to spend far less time working when I had it at 28 threads, so that's more time it's just sitting there pinging
At the end of the day, the request is likely no bigger than a couple KB and the response isn't a full web app or web page, so DDOSing the servers shouldn't really be possible.
even if it is only a few KB, they went from 30k users to over 400k and that was before linus and steve and paul did the videos. that in itself is a basicly a DDOS.
Personally I don't think you need to split up CPU threads unless you have more than 8
we're up to 4th on EO? wow
yup
I mean, it still wouldn't make a difference IMO.
Again, it seems to only use a single thread/process to ping the servers. So even if 7/8 slots get work, that 8th slot still has the same attempt rate from previous slots that will increase on each attempt.
The reason I cut it down so much is because 3/4 thread slots seem to be getting the most work. Overall my production has been much higher once I cut it down.
^
it's more about the servers not getting pinged so much and overwhelming them and causing them to crash.
I had 16 core vm's sitting idle, once I split them into quads they're all utilized
ye, rigth now most WU is 4 core optimized
leme know when the big boys come in i'll retool my cluster 😉
i mostly agree, however my 11 core VM get a ton of work
ye, i can keep an eye on them
takes me about 5 mins to shut down and bring back up
24 vm's become 3 in the blink of an eye
I will also say my 3 thread PC pretty much hasn't stopped working in several days
you can also split in the folding gui
and config for that matter
our 256 core is rigth now splitted in to alot of 4 core slots
ahh! i like to just split in config, i have a SALT script for setting up and deplying configs 🙂
Again, you're still gonna be pinging the server about the same amount. Maybe slightly more, but it's not going to be so extravagant that it'll take down the system
If DDOSing was really an issue, they would say something
DDOS is not the problem, is creating the WU's that is not keeping up
no it's not. if creating them was the problem the servers would not be going down all the time
Is there a reason the servers are going down? It's been happening constantly for two weeks and they haven't said a thing about it
I haven't seen a single server stay online for more than a couple days
@vague flint amount of people
the sure amount of people pingging the server for work is making them crash
"Every time we double our server resources, the number of Donors trying to help goes up by a factor of 4, outstripping whatever we do."
"If you check out the Active Users on the Aggregate Teams page, you can see how the numbers jumped from around 10k to 150k in two weeks time!"
Thay have been woring around the clock fixing stuff, restarting WU creators and adding storage
Where did you see that quote?
Ye, its the group are looking in to move to a virtualised system that can expand more easy
And even then, that quote doesn't acknowledge any issue about clients pinging too much or recommendations on how to configure hardware.
I'm getting more WUs and PPD with smaller slots. I'm gonna keep it that way unless they say it's a problem.
i divided my 3900x into 4+4+6+8 cores, leaving 2 cores for the GPU and system. will see if i complete more jobs that way
i get reseting the timer when it gets up in to the hours. but spliting cores alway the way down to 1-2 making it ping more and more is making more of a problems. i get if you have 20+ server type cores want want to make it a little smaller but a 6 core just let it work....
so far it seems like that with default 22 core setup i was getting 1-3 WU's per day
there is alot of diffrent WU beeing created
I did 40wu's in the last 10 hours
@supple laurel it uses one process. Going from 1 to 8 slots will not 8x the pings
It uses one process to ping for work
It'll be the same attempt interval
@mystic hollow 6 core one will not lightly be getting that much WU 🙂
@wooden charm will see, i can always drop it to 4 cores or whatever
It might ping 1.2x-2x longer, but it'll still scale the attempt interval the same as if I had one big 28 thread slot waiting for days for a WU.
not like i got any work right now for any CPUs
@mystic hollow ye, just a heads up that 4 core will probebly do more good 🙂
😦
huh, where do you get that?
BRUH

My pc locked up while I was sleeping
I had to bump the voltage up this morning
doing Folding, you do not gain that much for overclocking
so, many of us that have righs going 24/7/365 just go more fan speed and default clocks
I have my gpu fan max
some even underclock to keep stuff cooler and more efficent
@vague flint i notice also my pgu attempt time would slowly increase up to 1 or 2 hour wait till next attempt, if you pause it and restart the time between attempt will reset to 60sec and by my system i will usually get another WU after 5 attempt
58C
Yeah. It's a global ping for your client. Same process across GPU and CPU slots.
If you click between them, they all reference the same "Downloading" WU that says "WS Assignment"
what i can see right now, all comming WU projects are CPU only
Oh, wrong, there was GPU in there but not many
I'm attempting to set up FAH as seen in the latest linus video and its working with my CPU but the GPU is stuck on "Ready/download"
Yeah, WUs are slow to send out
Give it some time. If the attempt time hits over an hour, pause it for 10-15 secs and then resume to reset the interval
its been over an hour. I'm wondering if my GPU is too old to be used
What is it?
I know depending on your GPU, it may have a tough time finding one for it
Radeon HD 5700
It's basically gotta cut the work down to a chewable size for your hardware, as far as I know
Let's see hmmm
Wait
Its an old Mac Pro my dad had in the basement. I brought it up to my room to use for this project for a whike
Yeah that's kind of a slow GPU. But it should get some work eventually
one of the old cheesegrator mones
I think my 650 Ti was kinda slow to get WUs, but it basically constantly gets them now.
the twin CPUs in this machine work pretty good it seems. But the GPU is just not
idk how
Ye, there is a bit diffrence of the GPU arch, makes them good for diffrent stuff
get in the Advanced control
so diffrent WU:s
thats the log
uhh its easier to post a screenshot
that IP is weird
Ye, there is not WU server for that type of GPU right now
so it gets assigned a bougus WU server
so the GPU is too old to work?
right now, normaly thare is WU for most hardware
but all the performance of the WU servers is not pointed to the "mainstream" hardware 🙂
the try to keep the swarm feed with work
but the CPU:s in that machine should make som good work 🙂
my CPU is scoring 15204 points per day. IDK if thats bad or good lol
if you want more of a reference do you have a passkey and 10 WU completed?
mind thats 15204 PER CPU. This system has 2
weak
I got a gpu WU
@hushed bobcat I have a passkey but not enough work completed to show up in the donor board yet
@rich depot try here: https://apps.foldingathome.org/teamstats/team223518.html

when you get 10 WU done a Quick Return Bonus (QRB) is applied
that usually boosts your numbers
but from what i've seen in this discord over the past week a Modern CPU is good for about 12,000-14,000 PPD PER Thread
for example I have 8 threads going on my i7-8700k and its doing 96k PPD
that seams high
17:46:10:WARNING:WU00:FS00:FahCore returned: WU_STALLED (127 = 0x7f)
ohh?
reset my progress -_-
ive never seen that error
WU got miss calculated
that sucks lol. I was at like 95% and lost the whole batch
another example is my Ryzen R5-3600, it's managing 101k PPD with 8 threads
and the F@H process crashed by some reason
@hushed bobcat that is some excellent numbers for cpu scores 🙂
the Ryzen is in an ESXi server
I wonder if it would be worth it to go get a RX570 or 580 to put in this Mac Pro
so it may be giving the VM more than 8 threads
I cant say for sure Robin but I think other ppl have had problems with drivers on MAC for F@H
@rich depot i would say i not worth the cash to spend on a old Mac Pro
If I were you I'd get a 4 or 5 generation old Gaming PC off craigslist or eBay and put a decent Used card in that
I wouldn't go any older than Sandy Bridge
^
I'm a teenager. I can't afford fancy hardware. I can get a used RX570 on ebay for like $90 though
that would be good for around 200-250k PPD
Do not spend money you do not have 🙂
^
this mac pro has great specs for its age though. 2x 6 core xeons... 128GB of RAM... 24TB of HDD.... the only part that sucks is this stock ass Radeon HD 5700
and the price...
hehe 😄
can you find the model of Xeons?
the old mac pros are fun machines
that was a expensive one when new yes
well I'd have to ask my dad what he paid for it 10 years ago lol
@hushed bobcat give me just a moment
i remember it is the E5640 in them
i was thinking the E series
2x Xeon X5690
hehe
ye
quite power hungry too
^
I have an X5675 in a server Folding
128GB DDR3-ECC 1333Mhz
mine are doing 15k per CPU
😄
how am i double you?
for a total of around 30k
wait maybe its because i have the QRB
@hushed bobcat mine are doing 15k PER CPU... so a total of around 30k
I'm doing 27k on 1 CPU
my i7-4790 is doing 28k
depends on WU too
mine is non k
@hushed bobcat your probably running in a PC though. I am pretty sure the fan profile on this mac makes it throttle aggressively
my is going between 3590 and 3790 mhz
better
my 4770k doing 30k
do want one of those for plex yes
Supermicro 
thats my backup plex server
i have the big brother with Quad CPU
I can get a dual socket mobo for this
been thinking about it
but those series Xeons are just too old
I mean to be fair, this Mac Pro would probably be killer with a RX570 in it
but quad cpu is so sexy 😉
it is pretty cool to have 256 threads 😛
its got the specs to be a decent gaming rig if I put windows on it in a few months when this COVID crisis is over
Robin your Total PPD would be around 250k-300k (By my estimates)
Pretty good
and for a gaming rig you will be hampered by those CPU's
ye
that generation had a FSB (Front Side Bus)
I don't play modern shit. Most of what I play is pretty old
literally everything in the system has to go through that
it is not realy a greate computer now days
really bottlenecks you
I wonder why they still sell for so much online then
just looked one up with this machines specs... $1000 on ebay
Probably sells for that much because its got the shiny apple logo on the side 😂
lol
also, still a thing in broadcasting systems
like legazy system that only runs on thoes things
we had like 18 of them only having one task
just lost another job
but my advice is get something around the Sandy bridge to Haswell era off eBay for $200-400 and put a decent GFX card in it
you will be much happier
something is not happy in that computer @rich depot
@wooden charm you overclocked on your 4770k
@rich depot slightly, 3,9Ghz
sometimes that happens when a job first starts
when you put in CPU cores in configure, do you count threads as cores?
give it 2 or 3 %
ok
yes its threads
so you would have 24 total
i would run 2 CPU slots
with 11 on each
^
gonna tell to to go all out. 12 on each
I wonder why it keeps hanging though
18:11:21:WARNING:WU00:FS00:FahCore returned: WU_STALLED (127 = 0x7f)
again
plus you need some CPU power for the Client itself to send and receive data, plus overhead from your system idling
@wooden charm im at 4.4 stable and doing like 45k a day
@rich depot Ye, im on a sort of basic cooler and do not risk having a bad WU calulation so
my 47770k pulls way faster on wus then my 6800k
what should I set folding power to? Light, Medium or Full
full
i run medium when using pc and full when not
also, focus is my GPU in that machine @rich depot so 🙂
I would run F@H on my MacBook Pro school laptop but it gets hot enough at idle, I'd hate to have that machine explode trying to run F@H
Folding is super hard on Laptops
@wooden charm
this is the best i can do
every PC has WU's right now
ya my n3050 is at 9% from last night at 6 pm
that is not bad!
laptops suck on folding
@hushed bobcat alot of GPU:s in some of them?
My school macbook has a decent GPU but it would probably catch fire if I tried to run F2H on it
outta all my systems the 4770k is the best at folding it cray
GPU's I have a 1080Ti overclocked, 2 660Ti's, and a GT 730
i have a x5650 a x5667 a 4770k and a 6800k running and the 4770k kills them all
and 3 10670s a 1060 6 gb and a 1050ti a 680 and a 770 running
also, i have a secret weapon but thet is not going to be activated this time around, to going to wait until winter 🙂
CPU's are 8700k@ 4.8 (8 threads), 4790k@ 4.4 (6 threads), 2500k@ 4.0 (3 threads), X5675@ 3.07 (11 threads), and an Ryzen 3600@ 3.6(8 threads)
@rich depot that is a nice load of stuff 🙂
@rich depot what's your PPD on the 4770 and how many threads you run?
well two gpus so 6 threads and doing hold on
haha my 4790k is also running 2 gpus
nice
unfortunately 1 is a GT 730 which is basically a paperweight lol
cpu has no wu right now will post when numbers show up
dang
@hushed bobcat i have one to test boards i hear ya
well mine is 42k right now
ya your 4790k is a beast
split the cpu in 4+3 cores
seems like the older stuff is around 8k per thread
ya my 6800k does lots but not as fast as the 4770k
my 8700k Destroys it though
I just stopped folding on my CPU due to only using the stock cooler, and not wanting my CPU to melt
@smoky wing run on light half core
At 100% I was hovering at 80C, but my PC sounded like a jet
@smoky wing set it to two core or so, less heat, still helping 🙂
well thats fine for your CPU, maybe not your ears though
Meh, I'm sticking to GPU for now
Most new WU will be CPU
you guys are making me want to crank my CPU even harder lol
hopefully this OC on my 2070 holds
