just curious, how do you intend to current clamp a PCIE lane, riser it out first?
#folding-and-boinc
brittle coral
yea i guess if you wanted to get fancy, make a breakout with a chip that does it for you at the rail with an LCD readout
that would be tight
fierce steppe
By board I mean it goes motherboard > PCIe riser > breakout board that logs the power usages through it > PCIe riser > GPU
brittle coral
i could solder that
rich depot
wait, I thought that my card didn't have a 6pin connector, but the image on google does. Might open my case and see if it has one
brittle coral
i could make it without the risers probably so it takes up less space, riser optional i gues
rich depot
Wait... WUT?
fierce steppe
Take a look at how Toms Hardware does its GPU power consumption tests, they're one of the few review outlets that do it properly
brittle coral
yea dude they broke the exaflop x86 mark
brittle coral
ooh
teal patio
hackintosh
brittle coral
sry this monitor is badly yellow balanced
arctic echo
If you can access the schematic you could also just get in there with a scope
fierce steppe
OpenMM doesn't support MacOS so there definitely shouldn't be any there
brittle coral
i have a scope so yea lol
rich depot
@teal patio No support for it though, regardless, you cant just magic support via hackintosh
brittle coral
but you still gotta clamp the line somewhere
fierce steppe
Only thing I can think of is it uploaded a failed work unit...
teal patio
some weird custom VM ?
rich depot
more likely a reporting error on the F@H side tbh
brittle coral
maybe a dual boot
that had finished work
boots into F@H, reports as submitted under mac os, switches back to windows to fold
does it 6 times
rich depot
Wouldn't show up as the same machine due to the way IDing works on the network
brittle coral
would that matter?
fierce steppe
edited their OS info to have it report as MacOS?
rich depot
That was my original thought Spotty
But I'm not sure it would work as F@H seems to take the system data based on which client you have installed
fierce steppe
🤷
rich depot
Im in lol
Howdy!
What OS you running?
I do have some other questions too if you have time, about fah
fierce steppe
MacOS... He's the one
rich depot
Windows 10 pro
Right easy one, open the advanced control panel by typing fahcontrol into the start menu
im already there
fierce steppe
What's your question, @rich depot
rich depot
Go to config
anyone know why i'm reaching only around 5000-6000 ppd when my estimate is around 30000 ppd?
Then expert, click add under extra client options and type this
@rich depot You got a passkey entered?
How do I limit it to 80% cpu usage. It keeps crashing when something in the background tries to pull resources because its running at 100% even on medium setting.
client-type*
fierce steppe
Set the power slider to medium
rich depot
On CPU or GPU?
CPU and it is on medium
Though you said you weren't getting units, sorry
CPU and yes, i've entered a passkey and am a part of a team
I also am rarely getting units @rich depot
fierce steppe
CPU overclocked?
What CPU?
How many threads is it set to use?
teal patio
change the default -1 cores to your max threads -2
rich depot
Follow my advice to get more units
And what drako said
8 thread intel 2700k
9900k OC 5GHZ its stable running at that for over 24 hours in stress test
it is set to use 12 theads
brittle coral
if you want it to use less still then drop it by 2 threads till it runs how you want
fierce steppe
Just because it's stable in a stress test doesn't mean the OC is stable in folding@home
brittle coral
im cpu folding while playing witcher 3, i set it to 12 threads from 15 of my total 16 and its running without any loss of performance while running the game
rich depot
@rich depot I did what the image shows
brittle coral
also what spotty said
arctic echo
My OC was stable until I started folding
rich depot
^^
brittle coral
did you stress test it using something as intensive as folding before now
or any time recently
ive been using OCCT since it came out and even when i used it to test OCs for seti@home stability in 2012ish sometimes the work would still make it crash anyway
it just depends on the kind of workload you need to test for
one stress test may use more ALU, another more FPU, another more cache, ect
rich depot
I used prime95
brittle coral
small or large fft
rich depot
large
brittle coral
when i used p95 i could get it to run stable on systems that would crash distributed computing work loads if i only tested using large
small was better
but OCCT's extra options seemed to find stuff it didnt
rich depot
is p95 similar to FaH loads?
brittle coral
either way, F@H is as stresful or more
yea
so back your OC off if youre having issues
fierce steppe
By "crashes" do you mean the work unit fails, or the whole system crashes?
brittle coral
i OCed a rig for the first time recently and WUs would fail and then i'd pull it back to last good OC
didnt test using anything else
rich depot
Whole system crashes, something in the background will try for CPU time and FaH will have ALL of it
fierce steppe
That shouldn't happen. F@H is supposed to have very low priority
What tasks are you trying to do that causes it to crash?
arctic echo
I'd go to a very stable clock and back off another 100MHz to really guarantee stability
rich depot
usually chrome (netflix or hulu), discord, and then Rimworld
teal patio
how much memory do you have?
brittle coral
thats weird, even when i ran my cpu to 15 threads i could open witcher 3 and it wouldn't hang the system
fierce steppe
Are you GPU folding as well?
brittle coral
while also gpu folding

Just me, or known issue?
@crystal hamlet
Known issue... The server ran out of available space yesterday so it couldn't accept any new uploads.
Should be fixed now though. Try restarting client to see if it will force it to send again
rich depot
Its rarely a good thing that the server runs out of space lol
hopefully they do something good with it
teal patio
I had to delete one it spent 6 days trying to send it.
fierce steppe
Could also just be getting hugged to death with everyone trying to upload all the work units from yesterday all at once now
crystal hamlet
Ahh yes, the popularity hug of death.
arctic echo
In the last couple hours I've had more issues with upload/download than usual
fierce steppe
Actually just checking the page now and its showing an error with the collection server, so it might not be receiving WUs atm
https://apps.foldingathome.org/serverstats
It has 6TB of free space so looks like they've either offloaded some completed projects from it to free up space or chucked in another drive
rich depot
They should accept drive donations
crystal hamlet
:3 A drive.. drive? Heheh
brittle coral
my main rig isnt running but it looks to have submitted its last WU fine, and the other thats running as well. prob finished before that issue
fierce steppe
It'll only effect specific work units that upload to that server
brittle coral
yea
arctic echo
I think the main bottleneck is the manual labour required to free up space
deep dirge
is it normal that my GPU (RTX2060) is only folding 44% if i set the folding power on Full?
fierce steppe
You're looking in Task Manager? Change the graph to show Cuda usage
crystal hamlet
Welp, I'm off to bed and I'll hope it's resolved in the morning. Thanks for the help friends 🙂
deep dirge
cuda is on 97%
brittle coral
it most likely will, everyone who runs servers has been maintaining them pretty hard recently but they need sleep as well
rich depot
okay, I checked. It looks like I have the rev2 version of this gpu, so no 6 pin connector. for some reason it was in rev1 but removed in rev2
loud tangle
I'm about to complete a second WU in a row for 140.163.4.231 is there any way to prevent myself from getting a 3rd job assigned to that server? Or am I just stuck kissing my time bonus goodbye
deep dirge
in the "Advanced Control" is a buttn Finish
and then start tho fold again, maybe it helps
brittle coral
yea thats def a different server but it may not help if oyu get another from that server
brittle coral
y'all are quiet. im still open in tab if anyone needs help, may be in and out though, bout to do some work on my miners potentially
wide raft
where can i see the right amount of points earned
brittle coral
whats wrong with what you're currently seeing
the best place to check is on the stats website when it's up and tracking, otherwise your web control client should be up to date with your personal work once it's submitted generally
wide raft
if i click under "identity" on my name it says Total score 1,056,508
Total WUs 125 and on the web control it says Points earned 300,853
brittle coral
did you create an identity?
wide raft
yes
brittle coral
kk just making sure you actually did and got your unique code
that would be the most obvious reason, having not done so and chosen a name the same as someone else who had also not done so, honestly i'm not sure
brittle coral
interesting
mine is off
butr by a much smaller margin of error
my guess, the web client is being slow as always
whatever highest value is most likely the closest to true
wide raft
Okay cool 👍
brittle coral
you can't easily fake the higher numbers but they can be delayed in updating
wide raft
fake? Why would you do that?
wide raft
i got another question
wide raft
that's not that bad my web client says 300k and stats says 1.107,515
i got a GeForce gtx 1660 Ti and a ryzen 5 3600x 6 core and my estimated PPD is 328037 right now
Isn't it low?
brittle coral
thats about right
er hrm
whats the 6 core getting alone
that actually may be a bit low but not sure, it depends on the WU
wide raft
where can i see what the cpu gets?
brittle coral
in the web control just click the cpu
but yea in this dated chart the 1660ti is getting 565k
wide raft
33691 ep
brittle coral
some ppl are saying certain newer cards may be faster now
wide raft
on the cpu
brittle coral
normally my 4c4t 8350k gets about that at 4ghz
but wow
thats a massive wu
if it is 95% and has 1hr left
you lost all your quick completion bonus thats why thats low
are you running it at high?
full
rather
wide raft
yep
brittle coral
okay well id expect that chip to be closer to like
3x that
my 8350k may be near that lvl
but
my 3800x is typical 115-135k
you'd be getting like 70-90k hopefully
and your total is under my rx580
so your gpu is also probably doing a long WU
if they keep being long like that
and scoring low
i'd wonder if osmething is up, maybe check your cpu and gpu utilization
wide raft
kk 2 sec
brittle coral
if you use task manager gpu wont show v much unless you expand it and look at cuda
wide raft
my cpu is done know, but normally its on 90% when folding
brittle coral
thats good at least its not sitting idle running slow
id assume its just the WU then, you get some that are bigger than others sometimes, thats just surprisingly large
but like ive also gotten work that put my cpu at only 18kppd
and took 8-10 hours to finish
brittle coral
whats it say the project is for
wide raft
Project 11778 CORONAVIRUS PROJECT
brittle coral
thought so the ones around that number were too i just didnt find that exact one
mate you got a gnarly protein stuck between your cores there
wide raft
If i want too trun off my pc. Should i pause or finish?
brittle coral
turn off for how long
wide raft
5 hours or so
brittle coral
better to finish
you gain more points by finishing work you receive faster
i normally leave my pc on 24/7 anyway
wide raft
eta 1 h 11 mins
brittle coral
if you've lost your entire quick return bonus though
and its not dropping any further
wide raft
i have the in box cooler on my cpu sooo it gets hot
brittle coral
then you could just wait as long as you have a day or more left to be sure to finish it
how hot?
have you monitored the temps
wide raft
90 ich
brittle coral
the stock cooler that comes with that cpu isn't bad
thats pushing it but if it's not going higher it should be okay
wide raft
degrees*
brittle coral
mine runs around 88
with the fancy version of the cooler you probably got
lights up
wide raft
i dont got the fancy one 😦
wide raft
true .. imma head out thx for the help
brittle coral
one thing you can do
wide raft
yes
brittle coral
either upgrade that to a bigger one, or make sure it's seated as best you can
thin layer of thermal material
ect
idk if you have spare
old trick i learned in 2002 on my first pc forum
wide raft
cool
brittle coral
get a plastic bag or glove or something
spread it super thin
either on the cpu or the cooler
some ppl would go so far as to just tape it off
spread it using a paint scraper or something
fresh razorblade ect
but super thin with masking tape or something not thick with painters tape or duct tape
might shave 1-2 degrees off and also if its running super hot it could be old drying material depending the age
really though the best thing to do is get a beefy cooler

trim crystal
When f@h gives a new job but your gpu isn't upto it
fierce steppe
Overclocked?
fierce steppe
Wait... What model GPU do you have?
fierce steppe
Was the HD7000 series really that long ago? Damn I feel old
weary epoch
probably make sure you have the latest drivers for that w7000
I did some folding on one and it never crashed
trim crystal
They are on 20.1
fierce steppe
Yeah my mistake, I thought that was much older than what it was
trim crystal
I got a v8650
trim crystal
If you want old
fierce steppe
I had an HD7970 I folded with, but it dieded
trim crystal
Bake it
odd barn
I have a gt 210 sitting on my desk
trim crystal
It will probably come back
weary epoch
I think they sold gt 210 cards for quite a while, for people without an igp
fierce steppe
Eh, maybe, but it's not really worth the effort tbh...
trim crystal
Hd 6870s and 7970s bake back well
odd barn
They're still on the market, for what reason idk
weary epoch
lowest cost option for people who just want display output but don't have an igp
trim crystal
The 210 is for stuff like servers
odd barn
I have it because a site I work at wanted to cheap out on their video monitoring solution because they kept getting "High CPU usage"
trim crystal
Were the cpu lacks a igpu
odd barn
But since their site is closed.... /o\
weary epoch
yeah it'll do at least 2D acceleration well, and some basic 3D. very basic 3D
better than software rendering but not by much
odd barn
What confuses me is they have i7-6700's which have HD 530 graphics
would they even benefit from this
odd barn
That's exactly what I was saying
trim crystal
The 520 is like a hd 240
odd barn
I'd want to give them like a 1050/1050Ti or something at least
weary epoch
you literally need to have no IGP at all to benefit from a gt 210
weary epoch
you'll get like 8-9k ppd on a r5 240 I think
trim crystal
They are the same speed as a 9800 gt
weary epoch
eh maybe 10k. my w2100's getting 9k now
weary epoch
of course, the w7000 is basically a hd 7870
odd barn
who me?
odd barn
I would but they're using proprietary Dell PSU's since their entire upgrade included Dell Workstations
290W max and PSU only has 2 leads for motherboard and CPU. It's a stupid design
odd barn
The other thing is I don't like this site either
so I'm okay with giving them bare minimum
odd barn
Lol, don't bother :p
odd barn
We basically just gave them the middle finger and told them to send us the invoice or we're going to come and rip out all 450 cameras we installed for them
trim crystal
Oof
odd barn
it be like that
These idiots were trying to run 64 separate cameras on CPU only
and these PC's are on 24/7
Monitors are dual 55 inch TV screens you could say
trim crystal
Cry lake
odd barn
I basically told them, if you don't want to follow my advice, or take my suggestions on what you should do because you guys have become so cheap, I can't help you
odd barn
If it's LP, that's doable
but it's going to be hard to find one on the used market since they want new hardware
trim crystal
Gt 1650?
odd barn
Too much money, 290W PSU won't be able to support it unless I upgrade the PSU
trim crystal
The 1650 is the same power as a 1050
brittle coral
if you're trying to buy a new card to fold on
trim crystal
75w
odd barn
Well, too much money regardless, lol
trim crystal
This isn't fah
brittle coral
for price/ppd
odd barn
Remember, I don't like them 😂
trim crystal
The Vega fe is probably better
/56
200 for a 56 and it folds between a 1080 and ti
brittle coral
lol this is F@H look at the channel you're in
odd barn
I ordered a GT 1030 just to test the theory, so we'll see what happens
If it works, that's all they're getting
odd barn
I'll share the system spec requirements, maybe that'll give you an idea of what's required
stark bough
This folding thing is getting out of hand. I had a dream I bought another card and added it to my rig to fold :p
brittle coral
i had a dream like that back when i was the top contributor to the anandtech milkyway@home team for a while
i was running 4 5870s 3 months after they launched
then later i added a pair of 7950s to the mix
except my dream was receiving a whole pallet of gear
and a new 50a breaker circuit to run them on
i had problems xD
brittle coral
hay jo
im reinstalling F@H on my dedicated AMD rig
i just put my 290x together
i broke one of the 4 retention points right around the GPU but if its an issue i have a 2nd cooler to not break xD
i uh
never found that accellero
i stuck the 290x in and F@H client stopped working so im just redoing it along with drivers lol
smoky rose
Are you using DDU to wipe the drivers?
brittle coral
i didnt this time
doesnt seem like it's seeing the 290x
when DDU ran it definitely had drivers, it even had drivers for the 7950 i stuck in and the pulled out thinking it was part of the issue i was having lol
solid thunder
brittle coral
the issue being initially that it was really slow loading the system at all and i seemed to remember that being part of it, but also the 7950 is just barely worth the power to even run
i'll try testing it again later when i have the back pain levels to pull that case out of where it's hiding
ait, once i get this driver reinstalled again, what should I be doing to make sure both cards have slots and are getting WUs? cause if it was working before and it wasn't a driver issue potentially, i tried adding a slot and it didn't seem to work out
kept making it a CPU slot
smoky rose
Did you check this one?
brittle coral
it was checked when i went to create the new one already
drivers are reinstalling still
im gonna go take a shower
yea ugh its not detecting the gpu at all
i tried to do it again and ended up breaking something else and had to reinstall F@H because when i removed my other gpu slot to fix what happened it wouldn't come back either
i think it's just not letting me make more htan one slot for some reason
smoky rose
Are both GPUs identified by the system?
Curecoin: 6.6 months
Default (Team 0): 3.1 months
folding@evga: 1.1 months
Woop! Woop!
brittle coral
im not sure honestly where to check at htis point
i dont see any gpus in device manager
smoky rose
Did you forget some cables?
brittle coral
definitely not
and if i dont fix it by the time my hair dries im going to bed lol
i have to wake up to go get more cards xD
if i can't get it to work at all im gonna pull the 580 and stick it in my main rig here to see if that config detects properly, and then redo the other with a 1060 and 1070 lol
try and get the 290x going when i have more PSUs and a 3rd motherboard to work with
i may also try setting it up in linux
who knows that may fix the issue with drivers lol
yea okay finally i stopped being smooth brain
no
there is no 290x
its not showing up in device manager
okay
i can go to bed xD
smoky rose
Good night! 🙂

im gonna tinker all day once i get back from san francisco, i may run down to sunnyvale and get the 980 as well

hahaha, thats why it makes the most sense to me i think of most non-english languages
im a weird mix of dutch, swede, scot, and a mixing pot of other adjacent stuff

We are still alive.
Your turn.
brittle coral
yea
i went out and turns out it was a power connector i think
xD
it was locked in place
but it was lifted out of place
im gonna just assume that was it
yaaaaay
its showing up
smoky rose
Cables. Jo, one point.
brittle coral
its showing like it got a WU except it hasn't started it yet after a while lol
smoky rose
Did it download properly?
brittle coral
yea i would have checked it first thing when i got out to it and fiddled inside regardless, i did work as a repair tech for years 😛
idk
lemme look in the log
yea its having issues
14:58:45:ERROR:WU02:FS02:Failed to start core: OpenCL device matching slot 2 not found, try setting 'opencl-index' manually

try from 0 one by one
brittle coral
yea? just edit the value till it sticks?
marble quartz
if it won't show up make sure it does in device manager or something
brittle coral
i set it to 0 and it worked
marble quartz
cool
brittle coral
its gonna take 24hrs to complete a WU though dang
is there a way around that with a different opencl index?
or did i just get a fat wu
i was expecting it to be significantly faster than this lol
marble quartz
how many steps does it specify
brittle coral
where do i see that
marble quartz
check log
completed x out of y steps
I have a vega 56, job has 2 mil steps. takes about 2 hours for 70k credits
filter the log by steps
smoky rose
Wait for it to finish a step or two. Then check the estimated time.
brittle coral
i dont see how to filter it by steps but i sorted by slot so its gonna be a minute once it hits 1%
dire marsh
Mines super slow I got 90k all night :-(
smoky rose
I got a 110k last night. Had to finish it during todays meeting.
brittle coral
yea its estimating right now that im only gonna get 27234 points for this WU cause its teh minimum and since its gonna take 24hrs its only that ppd XD
smoky rose
"What is that sound?"
"Oh, that's my laptop. Doing important virus research."
marble quartz
27k base?
brittle coral
something isnt right
oh haha
it just updated
7hrs
368k ppd
thats better
christ that scared me
it took a second before it hit 1% to work right
marble quartz
not bad for a 290x
brittle coral
yea
marble quartz
undervolt that so it won't thermal throttle
marble quartz
i forgot how hot 290x could get
brittle coral
i just took the old water block off because it needed to reseat anyway
how much did you undervolt it by
mine were launch batch
blower fans
one of the retention screws by the die broke as well, so i may have to remount regardless
but fresh pads and goop
marble quartz
didn't have my hands on a 290x before
smoky rose
I have one. They get insanely hot.
marble quartz
but I know from reviews people make they are popular in the cooking section
smoky rose
First time I gamed on it I was afraid the computer was about to take off.
brittle coral
okay lets watch these temps fly
crimson fulcrum
Question, would the same overclocking/undervolting I use for mining also boost folding performance? Or is it situational
brittle coral
already my 580 is 50c vs 33c for the 290x
idk if i trust this thermal reading for the 290x lol
i think i got me a stuck sensor
crimson fulcrum
Any boost to the overall folding like the higher hashrate I get with mining?
marble quartz
utilization depends on WU tho
crimson fulcrum
Perhaps I'd be better off just flat out overclocking the cards then
brittle coral
christ it might be right that its that cold xD its not even warm near it
marble quartz
if u could deal with the temps, sure
brittle coral
itsp ossible that because i reseated the TIM on the stock cooler its performing better but i doubt its performing this well
its just stuck at 33c xD
and in the driver its showing like its completely idle
at 300mhz
im gonna reboot it just to be sure i didnt miss anything along the way from that
but my hair is dry and it is running
forest sapphire
I feel like my 3900x is a bit warm right now. showing 79 degrees.
Its on a h115i

so if im concerned with the state of it i'll pause the GPU that wasnt showing properly stats wise

i hope we find out if any of this folding helps anyone
has any of the previous folding WU projects help solve anything?

brittle coral
290x struck out, its got some kind of stability issue now and idk what it is yet
gonna try and tracei t down once i sleep
broke my F@H client bad enough again that i need to reinstall lol
from all the reboots and whatever else idk
but yea i have a couple ideas why it was unstable, just not sure what yet. rip
gonna test it in my main PC some so i can be sure it's not a couple things lol
brittle coral
ugh what is this
bout to go to bed but
project 14190
not an insane number of steps
but it's taking forever
says its gonna take 15 days
forest sapphire
ManI have noticed that I am constantly running CPU WU's now. It feels like I am constantly able to get my system to fold something constantly
brittle coral
that was a really interesting WU
i deleted it though, i wasnt okay with my cpu sitting running for 2 days like that when i know im probably gonna break it tmrw anyway and have to reinstall again
xD
got another covid wu that takes a few hours
forest sapphire
oh I would love a 2 day fold
brittle coral
like i said, really interesting looking wU, just ugh
dire marsh
I closed fah then reset my computer and now every minute or so it starts up in the background and starts using all my CPU wtf is going on
brittle coral
its set to load on boot
go to the search bar
type shell:start
shit that's not it
uh
sec
its shell:startup
type it into run sry not search
i keep confusing the 2 damn things cause im still in windows 7/xp days mentally half the time
if you go to that folder you can remove the shortcut
or add any programs you may want to run at boot
dire marsh
Ok
brittle coral
you can also click through to it in your user files
bu
you gotta make sure hidden files are visible
cause it's in a hidden folder in a hidden folder xD
like 6 folders deep in the tree
dire marsh
For me it was visible right away
dire marsh
And will that fix it
brittle coral
it's user/appdata (which is hidden)/roaming/microsoft/windows/start menu/programs/startup
dire marsh
Ok thx
rich depot
So
I would like to run folding@home
but I dont know what this GPU and CPU means
and these are changing relatively fast
neat crow
The CPU and GPU can run separate projects
neat crow
Sounds about right, my 1070 can complete one in about an hour
fierce steppe
How long it takes to complete will vary depending on your hardware and the individual work unit you're working on. Some are more complex than others
rich depot
I see
so is there a way to specifically choose linus' work server?
because my beast of a pc is gonna wreck that serverr
smoky rose
No
rich depot
o ok
fierce steppe
Nope. It will assign you a work server automatically
rich depot
ok
dire marsh
Ever since I started folding yesterday my computer's been way louder
Idk why and I'm not folding rn either
Well my gpu to be exact
rich depot
ur always folding
if you close the browser tab, it still folds
you'd have to kill the process via task manager
neat crow
Try using the FAHcontrol.exe app, I’ve noticed it gives more info and control
dire marsh
I don't think it has to do with folding exactly just louder for some reason
rich depot
did you set a higher fan curve @dire marsh ?
dire marsh
Not for my gpu no
rich depot
weird
glossy fiber
With my little w540 laptop :p
rich depot
is that the amount of points the device has earned in total, though?

Yes ^^

i think i will power on my server, it's not enought fo me (srry for my english i'm french btw)

and do you see your server in "Advanced control" of Folding@Home ?
dire marsh
Aren't you the person who just started folding
rich depot
no

idk why it make me that

I have it to always run too, I just pauze it when I need to do really high intensity taks like a video export

Got a new reply today. They have set up a company team, encouraging employees to join and they have people setting up FAH on their servers.
Two "no" and three "we are already on it".
rich depot
nice!
smoky rose
It would be nice to get more points but in the end I don't care if they fold themselves.
rich depot
yeah exactly
smoky rose
FOLD MUST GO ON!
forest sapphire
MUST keep folding
patent crane
i just started folding...
forest sapphire
Yeah when my son goes back to his dads, my machine will be folding like a champ again.
But since he has been here, he is playing on the PC so much that I have to keep it set to idle most of the time.,
I feel like I should be at like 20mil+ points right now
patent crane
Qanadin what are you running?
forest sapphire
Spec wise?
patent crane

I won't need to upgrade again for like another 5-6 years is my goal
minus more ram and/or storage space

I can't fold just did my homework it avg a GB 1 day running 24 hrs it would eat months cap just on that 😫
forest sapphire
This is the first Nvidia GPU I have gotten
@knotty pike where do you live and who is your provider?
knotty pike
Telkom and South African good luck getting any sense out of them @forest sapphire
forest sapphire
oh nevermind
knotty pike
Oh okay you back down very quickly there
forest sapphire
haha
I know some carriers are removing bandwidth caps due to Covid.
But I only know from the US standpoint, not South Africa.
knotty pike
There capping trust me my phone let's me know 😇
forest sapphire
😦
patent crane
from what i see on their sight its just the package you have but i would run a internet speed test to check if they are capping you under what you have already
knotty pike
There capping my phone let's me know 😇
patent crane
ya just saw that
knotty pike
I asked if they could sponsor me 31 GB a month for folding@home and no luck.
patent crane
that sucks
knotty pike
That my cap for the mouth lol
patent crane
how do i find out if im being capped?
knotty pike
Look at your contract then look at your usage
patent crane
ah
knotty pike
Normal when they say uncapped the cap is 80 to 200 GB depending on the contract
Very sneaky these ISP
knotty pike
Sorry all I could help was 50 000 point 😫

Has anyone heard about why the delay in the Day 12 numbers on the Blog page?

i wonder how many people dropped out of folding simply cause they couldnt get any tasks
folding@home is the pokemon go of 2020
huge initial hype and a slow dropout due to technical difficulties.
except that we all stay at home.

@patent crane you would have had to have joined the contest before the start to be on that stats page.

is there a web page or page in the veiwer to tell what ive done?
oh wait it could be points per day im looking for?
edgy iris
Try this link https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/%(donor)s Just replace %(donor)s with your folding name.
patent crane
ah alright
edgy iris
Or just Right click on the FAHControl in the taskbar, and go to Advanced Control
you should see a link to your Name, and the Team, that are clickable

There's also this one. https://apps.foldingathome.org/teamstats/team223518.html
that's a much bigger list, and will take time to load.
Also.. did you bring up the Advanced Control

you will have to give it a day to show up on that page I believe.

You should be able to see some numbers on the Web page view. https://client.foldingathome.org/

@drifting palm nope, researchers are spending more time in creating projects/wu's than explaining what they do, although I believe all descriptions will be added after they got time
drifting palm
Im sure they will. Im just curious
rich depot
does anybody know though why aws basically stopped folding?
vague flint
You can also go to XOC to check your stats
On the left you can search for your Username https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/individual_list.php?s=
smoky rose
@rich depot I bet they are planning a major launch of clients.
To know us out
So keep folding people.
rich depot
why did they stop though if they are planning that?
but yeah, aws dying down is a very good reason to keep folding, they were contributing like 20% of the whole folding power. So we need to step up our game to keep folding at the same level
https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/team_summary.php?s=&t=238068 like check their stats

around 2012 (i think) you could fold on the ps3 but then Sony took the functionality away
patent crane
rich crane
What's the optimal way to setup slots for high core count systems? Fill up slots to the max 32 core count then have one slot with the leftovers or balance between different slots?
rich depot
@storm talon you know anything about aws?
rich crane
Got two 40 core systems to throw at this
rich depot
no I mean why they basically stopped folding
storm talon
my opinion was bezos got drunk and wanted to flex
rich depot
@rich crane I'd suggest splicing them in smaller slots, a multiple of 2 or 3. Maybe like 16-16-8 per cpu, or 16-16-6 if you also have a gpu in the system. that seems to work best for the balance between doing big wu's and getting enough wu's to keep the system reasonably busy
lol fair @storm talon
rich crane
Mmm sounds interesting, will try that out on one of them, cheers
Yeah they've got gpus too, dual Tesla k80. Old but beefy heh
rich depot
keep 1 thread empty per gpu

I got a 148K estimated GPU wu.
