so quick question

#

does it look bad if you have to stop becouse your computer gpu smells like smoke

#

yeaaaa im going to stop now

#

for the sake of me killing my computer

@silk tinsel you dont have your fans cranked

NZXT Noctis 450 - fan on fire

Hi I am big fan of NZXT cooling solutions currently using Kraken x52 to cool my Ryzen CPU and Noctis 450( and one of the fans - caught on fire)

@rich depot they are set to auto and I forgot the name of the program that sets gpu fan speeds for a gtx 1070 nvidia.

so how has everything folded last night?

crazy how LTT is like a third of all active folding users

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

yeah. although that number is not really correct

#

last 50 days

#

active cpus makes the numbers

#

ah okay, haven't said anything

#

I was gonna mention that default has a lot of people under the same anonymous username

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 7:32 AM

#

that makes more sense. I always thought that metric was a little off

#

yeah if you don't enter in anything in identity then that's where your stats go

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 7:34 AM

#

yeah. But like, I can't imagine how many people this is, cause they are also not getting the passcode bonus

mmhmm

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 7:36 AM

I think it says enough that default has 800 active users and ltt has 50k, and ltt isn't getting that much more points per day.

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 7:38 AM

#

yeah I don't know how they calculate it all

silver wing Mar 29, 2020, 7:38 AM

default is way more than 800, that's 799 not anonymous folding for the default team and unknown thousands folding anonymously

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

yeah, I know. but thats why the user stats are a bit off

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

ahh username/no team folders

silver wing Mar 29, 2020, 7:39 AM

#

have to blame FAH for that

#

I hate their stats they provide

I only blame them for taking my unused cpu space and trying to find a cure for covid

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 7:40 AM

meh I just keep CPU enabled on medium

#

doesn't really affect my daily experience unless I'm gaming

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 7:41 AM

#

for me its more the noise of my cpu fan xD so when I go to sleep I set my cpu's to run, when I wake up I let them finish. gpu runs 24/7

I'm using the stock amd cooler

I want to get a better cpu cooler but money... I first invested in a new case which let my temps drop 10 degrees so that was nice.

not bad for case change

you should be able to get it locally

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 7:46 AM

#

but yeah, not sure what cooler I want now. meshify C is cooler but lets through a lot more noise, so want a quiet cooler. But also a pretty decent one, since amd clocks better with lower temps

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

yeah depends on what's local. if budget is a worry then that hyper 212 always top for best bang for your buck... but if not then look at what works best for your case

I got the in win msi dragon case for the style but it's a pain to get nice cooling in

@rich depot btw my laptop didnt crash during the run that reported server dont like

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 7:51 AM

then u would get the points

like unless you crash, u get the points

check

#

they can't just take away pts when they don't like the answer

rotund flume Mar 29, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

yea it still stuck at the number before the run
and i saw many report about the same error on the folding blog
devs have noticed and they think its because the server so

What are a reasonable PPD, anywhere I can see some stats for what ppl are contributing with per day etc?

what hardware are you running?

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:10 AM

#

As I said, I'm a newbie that want to learn. and I'm sorry for asking basic questions instead of trying to find it myself

#

oh that's good

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

Think I'mma fire up a virtual machine on the server running it on CPU only, or is CPU terribly slow in comparison to gpu?

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

my gtx 1080 runs about 800k PPD

#

CPU is generally not worth it if your going for points

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:12 AM

#

Ah, I just found I can see it for cpu and gpu separated

#

gpu running at close to 1M and cpu at 100K

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

yup

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:13 AM

Not going to spin it up at the server then since there's no GPU to actually make a difference 😄

#

It's producing tons of heat as it is lol

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 8:13 AM

#

even throwing in a cheap used gtx 970 will get you an extra 300k+

#

lol yeah they're good heaters. too bad it's getting warm out

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:14 AM

Well, I'll leave this running for a day and see how the heat in my APT reacts 😄

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 8:15 AM

#

👍

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

is there a fundemental difference between cpu and gpu tasks btw? or are cpu tasks just very small gpu tasks?

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 8:19 AM

#

it's the former

#

different WUs will get assigned to your hardware depending on their reported capabilities

#

so a WU your CPU will get is different from the one your GPU has

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 8:22 AM

#

ah okay. so its not just doing an easier fold cause cpu's are slower

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 8:22 AM

if you can just add another disk on the fly like that, I'm gonna assume youre running UnRAID?

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:52 AM

#

The rebuild time is killer, but it works 🙂

#

I would love to try unraid, but that would be a TON of work for me to get up, and loads of downtime. so I'm sticking with ubuntu for storage server

bleak orbit Mar 29, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

I've been meaning to set the R510 up in RAID-Z2 (raid 6) but, again, end of the world and shit

#

now it's just running Folding and Rosetta full time

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:54 AM

#

my problem with raid-z is that I cannot add one drive at a time

bleak orbit Mar 29, 2020, 8:55 AM

#

I thought about that, but I bought the server fully populated, so that wasn't an issue for me.

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:55 AM

Oh, I have a custom build in a 4U case with 16 3.5slots on the front

bruh that must be expensivee

lol

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 8:56 AM

damn I'm sticking with 4TB cuz I'm cheap and still have enough expandablility

naive stag Mar 29, 2020, 8:57 AM

#

I could have continued with 4TB drives, my problem is that I could only add 3 more drives in the case

Is there a way to configure fah so that it only uses my gpu?

#

not cpu

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 9:28 AM

#

😮 nice

#

thanks.

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

also changing the folding power to "Light" will only CPU fold when idle

vast shell Mar 29, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

Yeah I had it on medium

bleak orbit Mar 29, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

You can also go into Configure > Slots and remove CPU, but I like the first method so I can easily re-enable CPU if I want to in the future

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

Make sure it finishes the work unit it's working on before you remove the slot

vague flint Mar 29, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

You can also manually set how many threads, or split into multiple slots. I did this with my 3950X. Left 4 threads open (2 for GPU, 2 for rest of system), but I can pause a couple CPU slots if I want, or just pause them altogether if I want to play a game

Quick question guys (sorry I just joined), is there anyway to check if I submitted a WU before the Timeout? Log said I received one around 05:24, GPU folded uninterrupted (aside from downloading a new WU after finishing), uploaded 100% at 08:50, well below the 1 day timeout but I still received only base credit (already put passkey in FAHControl and submitted 10 successful WUs earlier, and my GPU did get bonus points for a previous WU)

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 9:53 AM

#

good question. I'm not sure about specifically points work but the final point credit is done on their servers and the client is just providing a rough estimate

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

@mild dawn if you check the logs does it say it uploaded to the Collection Server?

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

also providing even uploading finished WUs have been finicky lately so who knows what that impact is

vague flint Mar 29, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

There's been a couple times my GPU has failed on a WU from a bad overclock. It seems to just upload what it had and start over on a new WU

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 9:54 AM

#

08:15:32:WU01:FS00:Trying to send results to collection server

#

If it's getting uploaded to the Collection server then you won't get credit for it until they transfer the results to the Work Server. You'll eventually get credit for it, but that could be weeks/months away.

#

16/34 of my last work units have failed to credit

mild dawn Mar 29, 2020, 9:57 AM

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 10:06 AM

#

trying to limit the GPU to 85W for a while, to see how much it drops the fan speed and temps

#

wow, worth it

📎 unknown.png

#

actually dropped to 61% fan speed now

#

i think i will keep the card at this power limit. sure, it is probably slowing down the card by 33%, but much quieter and less heat

weary epoch Mar 29, 2020, 10:09 AM

#

now how much do clocks drop

#

there's probably an efficiency sweet spot at some power cap

#

where you pull a lot less power but barely drop clocks

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 10:10 AM

#

hm, seems like the clocks didn't drop much, ironically

weary epoch Mar 29, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

nice

#

still in front of the sweet spot then

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 10:11 AM

#

1060 6GB officially has 1506 base clock, 1708 boost clock. the card is jumping between 1657 to 1721MHz

#

so it is probably just dropping the extra boost it would normally go into

weary epoch Mar 29, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

oh I mean vs 100% pwr

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 10:12 AM

#

give me a minute, will test the default power limit

#

yeah, with 120W power limit, it was constantly at 1822 MHz

#

so realistically limiting it to 85W it limits it to official boost clock

#

while the fan speed drops from nearly 80% to 60%

#

worth it for a folding GPU

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

trying to limit the GPU to 85W for a while, to see how much it drops the fan speed and temps
@mystic hollow I find that power limiting is very beneficial for folding. I am running my 1080Ti at 70% power limit, or 175W (of 250W stock)
Fans can spin at 60% and be quiet while keeping temps at 60°C

weary epoch Mar 29, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

yeah

#

I mean in general power limiting will get you more perf/watt

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

Also makes a noticeable difference to the room temp

weary epoch Mar 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

just gotta find the point before perf falls off a cliff

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

Yeah, I drop from 1.6M at 100% power limit down to 1.4M at 70% power limit
So the performance drop isn't that bad

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

just in case people want to know how to do it with Linux - you use the nvidia-smi command

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:14 AM

#

30% power reduction for 15% performance drop

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 10:15 AM

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 10:22 AM

#

if any long term estimates are to go by I'm sure people will keep folding for awhile

vague flint Mar 29, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

I think it's mostly a matter of "will people remember to turn folding back on after they're done playing a game?"

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

But since there's so many server issues at the moment and work units failing to credit if that gets fixed our score will increase significantly

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

you can just leave on the idle setting

vague flint Mar 29, 2020, 10:23 AM

#

Because I feel like a lot of users might not have it set to "Idle only"

#

The default is "full power"

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 10:24 AM

#

I think it's medium but not much difference

#

maybe we should get some recommended settings in the forum post for this

vague flint Mar 29, 2020, 10:25 AM

#

Yeah

#

honestly I didn't notice much difference between low, medium, or high

#

it seems to use about the same amount of threads to a similar level

#

The biggest difference is splitting the slots and pausing individually

mild dawn Mar 29, 2020, 10:26 AM

#

I waited for like 15 minutes with my settings set at "On idle" and it didn't do anything, so I just turn on folding manually

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

mmhmm I think it's just CPU scheduling as the difference but that also depends on the WU for how hard it hits

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

Light is CPU only
Med is CPU 75% and GPU
Full is CPU 100% and GPU

vague flint Mar 29, 2020, 10:27 AM

#

Ah I see

#

That's probably why

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

I had that problem with some software occasionally causing windows to not go idle

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:28 AM

#

On Idle isn't a very good idea at the moment because of the issues getting work units
It won't start trying to download a work unit unless you're idle
And since people have been waiting a few hours to get a work unit anyone set to idle is going to spend most of their idle time just waiting for a work unit to download

#

Right now it's better off just setting it to always fold and then pause it if you need to do something

vague flint Mar 29, 2020, 10:29 AM

#

Yeah

#

one other thing I keep seeing happen is people that turn their PCs off during the night

#

like, that's prime time. I get most of the work done when I'm asleep

fierce steppe Mar 29, 2020, 10:29 AM

spare glen Mar 29, 2020, 10:32 AM

the PC my wife uses has no problem with the idle setting in regards to handling WUs but my PC tends to get hung up randomly so maybe it's more environment related

@hushed bobcat card would not boot without one tho

as the power limit is not persistent, so at boot it will again require 120W

60W = 52% fan speed, 70C GPU. 85W is 60% fan speed, 73C. 120W is 78% fan speed, 80C.

60W = a bit bellow official base clock. 85W = official boost clocks. 120W = much above official boost clocks

depending on how far the wu is you can also set a shutdown with timer. like if its at 90% and says it needs another hour, you can just put a shutdown for 1,5 hour and be fairly sure it will be done

Did you use a software manager of some sort to do the install or just dpkg?

Package installer

#

It's ok I'll figure it out eventually 😂

dusty hemlock Mar 29, 2020, 7:30 PM

#

You can try just doing a "sudo dpkg -i <clientname>.deb" through commandline and that should atleast have more info. Also can do a "sudo systemctl status FAHClient" to see if it possibly is already installed

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 7:50 PM

(no, i haven't tested any of them, just an idea instead of doing linux reinstalls)

#

or if you want to be sure, use Ubuntu 18.04. that works, as long as your HW works in Ubuntu 18.04

I know there is one person using docker at least

I haven’t tried 18.04 I tried 19.10 an it is a fail I guess I can go back to the 18.04 an try it

eager lantern Mar 29, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

Are there any variables or startup flags to cap/limit the execution of the windows FAH client? The slider seems to be broken (medium/high are the same) and because of thermal constraints I was forced to limit execution to GPU only as running both was frying one of my laptops :\

#

Also, please let me know if there's a better place for this question. I figured the FAH folks are probably busy nowadays with the 10x increase in userbase

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

@eager lantern cap in what way ? you can cap the CPU usage by telling it how many threads to use via FAHControl

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 8:38 PM

#

Medium and High only change how many threads the client uses on the CPU

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 8:39 PM

#

and GPU is sadly all-out. so only way to limit thermals is to lower the power cap, thus limit the GPU performance

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 8:40 PM

#

☝️

eager lantern Mar 29, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

Good question. I'm not really sure. I've tried capping the number of threads, and even at a single thread on CPU I was seeing 90+ degrees on it. I was hoping there's a throttle option perhaps? Stay under 50%? Don't execute too many instructions?

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

Lowering the power target in MSI afterburner should do exactly what you want

eager lantern Mar 29, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

GPU is non-factor. It's just a bad design on the laptop part (I guess many share the CPU/GPU cooling pipes). I can have the GPU going all day, it's just whenever the CPU is involved things get wonky.

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 8:42 PM

#

For CPU I found the best way is to keep the CPU from boosting to a high clock speed

eager lantern Mar 29, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

I should have mentioned, I've tried undervolting, limiting boost, etc. to no avail

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 8:43 PM

#

@eager lantern well, you can always just disable the CPU slot and keep it a GPU folding only

#

(by disable i mean remove)

eager lantern Mar 29, 2020, 8:44 PM

#

That's what I ended up doing @mystic hollow after a few days of trying and searching, but I was hoping there's a hidden option somewhere to help 🙂

It's probably fine, you're just waiting for work to do

They should say "Can't find WU for this configuration"

tulip latch Mar 29, 2020, 8:53 PM

shouldn't it fold with both though?

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 8:53 PM

Folding has different jobs for the CPU and GPU

tulip latch Mar 29, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

oh

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 8:54 PM

#

The CPU had to feed data to the GPU

#

So you'll see some usage on the CPU when the GPU has a WU

tulip latch Mar 29, 2020, 8:55 PM

it will just switch?

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 8:56 PM

No

It will use what it can when it can

tulip latch Mar 29, 2020, 8:58 PM

if i understand correctly
if the workload needs cpu architecture it'll use cpu
and if gpu's architecture (or way of counting stuff) it'll use gpu?

mystic hollow Mar 29, 2020, 8:58 PM

@tulip latch yes, there are separate CPU and GPU jobs, and they are independent of each other

As long as your temps are ok and you don't suffer any thermal throttling just run CPU and GPU at full powah.

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

also have a 5930k system, with a 1070 and a 4790k with a 580 that ill be throwing in aswell

#

just with the folding power slider?

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 11:21 PM

#

yup

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

thats the only setting really hey?

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

i mean kinda.. if you want to split your cpu like we did scroll up a little ways..

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

Yes, they have more sttings but its for actually lowering the use of the app so you can Properly use your pc.

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

again, im not saying it works..

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:22 PM

#

But for more POWER nop

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

i just turned off game mode so i have the 16 cores up, surrently not effecting anything im doing atm

solid thunder Mar 29, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

how do i add other clients in the clients list

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

i have been non stop wu's though today afterwards

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

Splitting your cpu might have a gain/loss of around 10kppd -+

smoky rose Mar 29, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

There are WU that do not use more then 'n' threads. Like the drug simulations. Think they are limited to 12

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

whats wu mean

Work Unit

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:23 PM

#

ah i see

#

big noob lol

storm talon Mar 29, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

every time your client completes a round and sends the info back that is counted as one work unit

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

1M less than regular

dw about it man we all were at one point

smoky rose Mar 29, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

@trail night All slots running? I'm adding you to my shit list. Hold a moment.

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:24 PM

#

what should i be expecting for points around, is there some calculations I can do lol

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

What @smoky rose shit?

smoky rose Mar 29, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

Done

#

U stealing all the work.

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

lol

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

im helping with that too

#

lol

smoky rose Mar 29, 2020, 11:25 PM

#

You are both bad

@chilly cosmos https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vcVoSVtamcoGj5sFfvKF_XlvuviWWveJIg_iZ8U2bf0/pub?output=html#
here is a rough estimate on GPU's
in my experience add about 15% to these numbers

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

I will remove all the split cpu because im losing almost 1m ppd

smoky rose Mar 29, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

Well, guess we are all kinda good now that F@H have gained a few houndred thousand folders.

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:26 PM

#

thanks

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 1,935 12,267 4,352 2,621,170 16,842 Turing 9

#

That is not accurate

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:27 PM

#

@chilly cosmos a modern CPU (Intel 8xxx - 9xxx / Ryzen 3xxx) is worth about 12,000 PPD per Thread allocated

#

like I said add about 15% @trail night

rich depot Mar 29, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

it honestly seems as though i might too.. loose points.. yesterdays total was over 600k and im only at 200ish today so far.. but some of that could be lack of wu from this am..

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:28 PM

#

I might have to add like 30% @hushed bobcat

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:28 PM

i think this was compiled on the old F@H Core

#

0x21

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

Only the gpu pulls 3.3M

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

0x22 (Which is what everyone is folding with now) is way more PPD

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

seem realistic for my config? no idea what anything means atm lol gotta finish some eng hw then ill do some reading

trail night Mar 29, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

Ehmmm I fucked up... I removed all the Slots mid work and now they are on queue for the Single CPU loool

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

you said you had a 1080 @chilly cosmos ?

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

@hushed bobcat yes 1080 and 2950x

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

did you allocate all threads?

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

uh how do i do that

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

if you left it on auto thats fine

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:31 PM

storm talon Mar 29, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

ur good. probably no 32 core cpu jobs rn

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:31 PM

#

yea 31

#

the 1080 should be a bit higher

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

alright thanks guys!

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

like around 1-1.1 mil

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

ive gotta check my clock speeds give me one second i might be running slow to keep heat/ sound down

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

I estimate your system can pull 1.2-1.4 mil PPD

#

if I were you, Id split that CPU into 2

#

15 threads each

chilly cosmos Mar 29, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

how do i do that

hushed bobcat Mar 29, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

Goto Configure

#

Slots

#

Click on CPU slot 0 and hit edit

#

the first box says CPUs

#

change that to 15

#

hit OK
