i read a military report on testing Waste Motor Oil as an emergency backup for diesel fuel.
they tested quite alot of parameters on pollution, mostly heavy metals.

the conclusion was it wasn't statistically much worse than normal diesel

what's most interesting is they tested filtration for burning the fuel

and they found traditional diesel fuel-water separators literally did nothing to the fuel/oil

the a12x25 is a great fan for rads.

Side note. Ive been looking at numbers all day.

📎 2020-11-03_20_37_40-AsPowerBar.png

#

when the numbers hit 7 digits they basically felt like folding numbers 😄

#

is slot performance for the entire card and WU as reported?

#

I've been limiting power target, and putting off undervolting.

#

Also been wondering about those top mounted fans. don't the Front-top fan, and the top-front fan basically prevent a good part of that air from getting to the mobo?

#

I was thinking about a single large fan over the cpu cooler, and 'blanking' the area so most front air intake hits the cooler at least.

#

Also my Wraith Prism is just being a noisy boy at anything about 75%

or anyone here, who does folding

#

what OS do you guys use?

#

I'm curious, if anyone here has have done a comparison, between running their software on windows

#

vs latest mainline linux kernel, recompiled specifically for the cpu in your system

stark bough Nov 4, 2020, 10:12 PM

#

@muted pike seems like Linux is more efficient for PPD but most of my spare machines came with a windows licence so I use that.

muted pike Nov 4, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

@stark bough most distro kernels that you get, are compiled for a wide range of CPUs

stark bough Nov 4, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

I dont have the luxury... yet, of running a linux only pc for tasks.

muted pike Nov 4, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

so the compiled kernel code is limited to only the cpu instructions that all of them support

#

if you disable support for them, and recompile just for your cpu

#

you get the benefit of optimized code for all the new fancy instruction sets

stark bough Nov 4, 2020, 10:13 PM

#

in general in more comfortable with using windows, but im trying to homelab and get used to using varying linux distros.

muted pike Nov 4, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

@stark bough the easy bit is you can just download kernel sources via your package manager

#

and configure it using the current running config

#

after that you can just remove the other cpus

#

and make a kernel package

#

because windows seems like, waste of power lol

#

esp if you do folding

only for folding month.

#

8100 seems to be doing well. was planning to use it as a blue iris/plex box.

#

taking them down once folding month ends of course.

#

Think its ~38,000 PPD per 36 W on i3 8100 (1,055 PPD/avg W)

#

2 Thread 3700x + 1070 85% power target
System goes idle when using, but according to LAR looks like i get
998,531 PD on 315W (reading from UPS and including peripherals including monitor)

📎 2020-11-04_14_30_51-POWERPANEL_Personal.png

#

Lets see. last night 1,294,397 PPD/ 315 W = 4,109 PPD/avg W

#

TBF. im the wrong person to be talking about this in terms of optimization.

#

its just something ive been doing for fun

stark bough Nov 4, 2020, 10:57 PM

#

Honestly I'd love to see an LTT build where they focus on getting as much PPD per a watt on a PC within a specific budget, like say 300W, while still making a badass gaming PC

I was looking at fans the other day and there are two models that differ by an entire watt in terms of power consumption

is it GPU folding? or only CPU

high willow Nov 9, 2020, 5:43 PM

only cpu

#

it’s some old core 2 duo thinkpad so the gpu is way too old

fickle needle Nov 9, 2020, 5:44 PM

then yeah, you can either write this off as a weird issue and accept that you might have to restart it every couple of months, or if you're serious about keeping it up i'd recommend booting that machine off of a live linux USB stick

#

you could boot from a USB stick without messing with the existing windows install, isntall the FAH client, and linux won't restart for updates or anything dumb

high willow Nov 10, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

nouveau drivers are just crap for nvidia

#

usually I end up having to install the proprietary ones just to get the computer to function properly

#

granted I'm no Anthony when it comes to linux and if I knew more I might be able to get them working

#

but if the drivers were good they would just work out of the box for the most part, minimal assembly required

but it was alot of kicking and screaming

It's time I start investigating again on my temps; I have ambient temp of 69 (yes, not just for the meme), all of my fans running at 100%, and my rig is still running at 80 deg. CPU (Ryzen 3600 w/ DRP4) and 45 deg. GPU

#

I don't understand why my CPU is still getting so hot even with a good cooler and decent ambient temps. I should also mention I'm using the NR600 for my case so the problem isn't about getting choked off

when my CPU has an estimated PPD 20 times lower than that of my GPU, is there any point to CPU fold? Obliviously it still is a small increase but would you consider it worthwhile?

It really depends.

#

Sometimes the difference between rank 98 and 101 is the additional 40k your cpu can pull

I haven't looked at that. I guess older is less efficient ? so my 4770 would be in the same ballpark as your 4790

More efficient cpus are definitely better for compute projects, even when the tdp is being limited. Haven't had my 16t slot sit idle for a week now which is nice

@high willow Honestly if it is a machine only used for folding I would grab a small SATA SSD and replace the drive, then install ubuntu or similar on that and it is likely that the problems would be solved. would probably cost you 15-20 USD

What’s folding?

rich depot Nov 10, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

Folding@home is a network of volunteer computers distributed around the world that aims to perform biomedical research with the single intent of helping to further understand and develop cures for a range of diseases such as; Alzheimer's, cancer, and Parkinson's. The exact research that is done is simulating the 'folding' of proteins in the body, this is important because the function of a protein id directly related to its physical shape. And this, when the protein is created in the body it needs to reshuffle its shape to get into the correct structure to perform its task. Many illnesses can be linked to faulty proteins in the body such as many cancers and neurological issues, along with a wide number of other general health concerns. @fierce coral

fierce coral Nov 10, 2020, 7:21 PM

#

Ok

hushed bobcat Nov 10, 2020, 7:54 PM

#

@serene magnet I second what Spectrum says, unlike mining folding has constant communication between the CPU and GPU.
As far as I'm aware mining specific boards using risers are PCIE 1x 3.0, in my opinion that would severely hamper folding

#

That being said mining specific GPU's do a pretty decent job, especially if you get them used.

serene magnet Nov 10, 2020, 9:30 PM

@hushed bobcat if anything id be looking at some used 480s or 580s

pseudo abyss Nov 10, 2020, 9:52 PM

When did the folding event end?

high willow Nov 10, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

yes get like 10 gtx 480s and you can turn off your central heat while also fighting covid

#

i see no downside here

hushed bobcat Nov 10, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

@serene magnet personally I would not recommend anything that old.
The generational improvements are massive between 500 and 1000 series

#

I'll give you an example

#

I have 2 660ti's and 4 p106-90's

#

I get around 180k PPD on the 660's and 380k on the p106's

#

The 660 draws 130 Watts while the p106 draws 75 Watts

#

It's nearly double the amount of work done at almost half the power draw

#

BTW I bought those p106's off eBay for $25 each

#

Even if you got the 580's for free I don't feel it's worth it, they are just too old at this point.

what's the Estimated TPF that appear on the client advanced control ?

#

I've seen it vary quite a bit from project to project

humble rover Nov 11, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

Projects have different atom counts so the simulations will vary in time per frame depending on hardware

#

Some frames may be longer or shorter depending on complexity

supple cypress Nov 11, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

ok, so it does not necessarily mean that my setup is less suited for a project if I have higher TPF, just that it might be a more complex project

humble rover Nov 11, 2020, 11:29 AM

#

Some projects will prefer some hardware but generally its just a metric for completion time

#

"TPF - Time Per Frame means how long it takes to finish 1% of the assigned WU. 1% of a WU is equal to one frame."

stark bough Nov 11, 2020, 11:33 AM

#

It takes time to calculate the TPF and generate an average. So getting a new WU and basing everything on that is not a good metric

#

Generally let it run and the counts will become more accurate

#

I'll take a look through this. Thanks

#

Would it be best to install from scratch?

humble rover Nov 15, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

FAH should pick up the card automatically once you have the drivers installed, but dont use too new of a distro or you might run into issues with python compatibility

#

Its recommended you stay on anything based on python 2 (ubuntu 18) and whatever the latest nvidia driver is

elder hill Nov 15, 2020, 3:44 AM

#

Im trying to use my main machine to fold so I dont really want to use an old distro. maybe once I get started with this I can work that out

#

Although they must have updated F@H control. Its running fine in a modern distro

humble rover Nov 15, 2020, 3:50 AM

#

Idk I wasnt able to get fahcontrol to work on linux mint20 (ubuntu 20/python3) but that was a few months ago

#

Maybe if you can install 2 on a newer distro as a workaround

Originally I double clicked the installer and if just worked. Just no gpu

@supple cypress If we believe you sign up with a user name this your own you could be disqualified from events or asked to prove it is your own folding account by requesting you stop folding for a period of time. It's best to use a unique name to make sure this doesn't happen

supple cypress Nov 19, 2020, 2:52 PM

unfortunate I didnt see that advice before starting, so should I change my donor name @rich depot ? I dont want to cheat but was wondering how the point system tracking works since discovering that F@H does not consider names to be unique.

fierce steppe Nov 19, 2020, 3:34 PM

You should choose a unique name for folding. Looks like there's already someone folding for LTT team under "Jason".
After you change names you should also set up a passkey if you haven't already

@deft orbit you want to submit it to Lars system's database so everyone can see results?

rich depot Nov 19, 2020, 10:03 PM

#

@supple cypress You don't HAVE to choose a unique name, but if you don't have one there is a pretty high chance that you will end up getting disqualified for no fault of your own. so it really depends on how many points you've got on that account and if you're willing to give them up. With a folding name like Jason you will almost certainly get pulled from events we there is no way our script can deal with that. It's not your fault, its F@Hs for not having a requirement for unique names or at least public unique keys

@stark heath it really depends how much power it uses and is you're happy to eat that cost

My 970 does around 600k

#

Your 2070S is probably around 3 mil though

#

With roughly similar power draw

#

Keep in mind the 970 will probably heat up your case, so your CPU and 2070S will run hotter

#

How much hotter depends on how good your case is

@stark heath how long has it been since you've looked at your power bill, if its more than a couple months, then go for it, especially if you're currently heating your house (alternatively if you're currently cooling your house I would not)

Also just a heads up moonshot sprint 5 is 95.8% complete atm

#

However if youre looking for more work to do, the wcg backlog has many months of work to come

#

The two are sort of unrelated since I dont think moonshot had any cpu units to begin with but oh well

If it's not an inconvenience to you I'd say go for it

@stark heath doooo it

rich depot Nov 24, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

Also my CPU disappeared

#

Can someone help

#

I dunno how to get it back

Use the advanced client instead of web and you can see your slots more clearly

fickle needle Nov 24, 2020, 4:26 PM

#

but y'know same thing applies, if they're fighting to cool the barracks, I wouldn't run it

#

Is there anything i can do to fold on my CPU again?

humble rover Nov 24, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

@rich depot Go into the advanced client in the system tray and re-add cpu slot

rich depot Nov 24, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

on Slots?

humble rover Nov 24, 2020, 4:28 PM

#

Yes

rich depot Nov 24, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Yeah it doesn't work

#

Maybe i'm doing something wrong

humble rover Nov 24, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Restart the client and try to re-add?

rich depot Nov 24, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

Will do

#

If i have a Quad Core CPU with 4 threads do i change that value

fickle needle Nov 24, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

the default should automatically pick what makes sense

humble rover Nov 24, 2020, 4:32 PM

#

Leave it at -1 to let it decide automatically, generally leave 1 thread per gpu free

lapis gulch Nov 24, 2020, 4:33 PM

#

ive personally noticed that cpu folding affects the gpu performance enough to not be worth it

#

eh maybe reducing number of threads should do the trick
