I'm addicted to folding

Addicted to folding is a good thing.
Keep up the addiction :roll:

I've been getting all 9xx wu (GPU3) for the last 36hrs. Do you have any flag's on the client executable? I can't confirm because I'm at work right now, but I think I threw -advmethods on there for the hell of it.

EDIT: I use the following flags... -forcegpu nvidia_fermi -advmethods

I woke up to find a rig with my 470 and 465 gone cuckoo. I had to reboot to get it running.
All I've been getting is 611 WUs so I've been throwing the per verbal rocks at Buck for being so damn lucky. I added the above flags and both cards picked up 925 WUs.

I shutdown all my other clients running 611 WUs and added the flags. They restarted the 611 WUs and now two have finished picking up a 912 and 925 WU. Look at that PPD go up! :toast:

Nice work CP, but don't expect an intervention from any of us! :roll:

A perfectly legal form of addiction if you asked me

Oh I will.

. It's gonna get worse really soon!

Not looking for one

We think alike. :rockout:

[Ion] · Oct 29, 2010

Gonna get worse? Please explain

More cards on the way?

Chicken Patty · Oct 29, 2010

Soon I hope. :toast:

NastyHabits · Oct 29, 2010

CP, glad to see your admission. Good thing this addiction only harms your wallet. :rockout:

Let me outline my own 12 step program.

Step1. Start folding
Step2. Start tweaking
Step3. Buy more/better equipment.
Steps 4-12. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as often as you're able.

mstenholm · Oct 29, 2010

Isn't first step to admit your addiction? And then fold for the hell of it from there on. The way my puny 450 folds now on a 925 pointer I wish that I had some good slots to put more in. My wifes PC houses a 250 and it keeps re-starting (ok, once or twice per day) and I bought her a nice Enermax since the old PSU was running at 11,6 V. Didn't help, so no free slots there. My daily rig has a tiny Corsair 650W and I use all the 12 V plus a bit (and slots). My -bigadv rigs will never see a GPU3 card as long as they are folding -bigadvs ($0.35/kWh makes it a unwise decision). That leaves me with no choice other then to enter a new rig. Where do I put it so my wife wouldn’t see it? Garden sheed, she never goes there? Got power and some bikes that gets cold during winter. Hmm....

TeXBill · Oct 29, 2010

Soon I hope.

Very SOON I bet.

Details to come l8tr

[Ion] · Oct 29, 2010

that's expensive power! We pay $.08 per KWH

That is why I try to optimize my folding. I'm currently using $20/day and the four boxes acount for 60%. When I crunch (waiting for the right server to be up) I run a 260 and a 9800 GXT+ otherwise they "rest".

Edit: Wrong kWh consumption number.

[Ion] · Oct 29, 2010

That makes sense

I would think that any sort of DC would be prohibitively expensive with electricity prices like those :shadedshu

Because of this, my 5870 is folding! :rockout:

WU's are back up so why not?

[Ion] · Oct 30, 2010

Well it's another ~150w

But I am just arguing, I'd do it if I were you :toast:

I'm just trying to take a little bit of care of my PSU, I can't RMA it anymore if it goes bad

Because of our recent outburst of points, we don't have any threats listed on eoc stats. Great team effort. :toast:
