I lost 2 cards 2 days ago so my output will be lower for awhile unless I can find a killer deal.

That sucks. What cards did you loose? Good luck finding an economical replacement.

The 7950 the fan went out and it must of overheated the fan actually blew apart. Now when i try to plug it in sparks fly from the end 6 pin connector. No burn marks anywhere. And the GTX 780 bit the dust the next day. Just died. Comp wont boot no fans will spin nothing when it is in the comp.

Damn bro, that honestly sucks big time!!!

Well some good news. Got an RMA number for the 780 and CL came thru with a couple killer deals. So got a GTX 770 and a 660 Ti and put the other 660 Ti back to work.

Hmmm, MSI GTX 960 Gaming will be on the last Shell Shocker sale today. According to the GPU Folding Projects - Performance chart, (only one result) it's good for 188K PPD with P9201 on Linux.

I have an EVGA GTX 960 FFW. It's doing 178k @ 1542 Core17 P9201. It's in my main rig and running Win7. I'm browsing so the ppd is lower than normal.

The highest I have seen in Win7 is 188k on a Core17 P9411. That was with a lower OC though.

Dam, guess CamelJock won't be folding again any time soon. Have to sell off my server system to finance a new psu and mouse. Was hoping to get back into folding.
Went through at least 6 or 7 gtx2xx cards doing it, although I probably shouldn't of, since I live at half the poverty level. I now fight cancer by being over 14 months
smoke free after 40 years of smoking. I also wage a daily fight against ignorance about electronic cigarettes, and attempting to educate. That will save in the end
millions from cancer. Sometimes being affective doesn't have to cost a lot of money, just time and education.

Right behind you on that one Sir.

Looks like EOC F@H site has not updated since 6am EST.....

 

[johnerz]

Looks to be back up, I hope Jason is OK and keeps it running

 

[BUCK NASTY]

All my production is down at this time. Yesterday I started to combine all my GPU's into the Miner Rig. Had to swap CPU's as well. Linux would not load with all 6 cards installed. Went back to 4 cards and got it booted, then added card #5 and Linux will not recognize it. I gave up and walked away before I started breaking shit(literally). I will try again tonight to get it running again.

 

[mstenholm]

^^Is it possible to run with six GPUs under Linux at all?

Don't know yet. I got 5 cards running last night. When I install card #6, system will post, but no boot. I may stay at 5 cards and set up the last 970 in my gamer/surfer. Should be back up to full production later tonight.

 

[mstenholm]

So did you kick the lot to the corner?

 

[SirKeldon]

Bad news team, I was swapping my main rig (bought new case and new watercooling stuff) ... yesterday everything was perfecly mounted and no leaking, wasn't being fired out, I power the system on and BOOM, shortcircuit. Powered it again but I wasn't getting energy out of the molex or SATA, but yes from the board cause the GPU leds were on. Tested a lot of times to power it up, resetting BIOS ... changing PSU with the same results. Today after many hours of standby, I decided to do the last test, this time it powered up, then, one second after, all old PSU lights were flashing and the top part of the board started to smoke ... then to FIRE, literally fu***** fire!!! I guess it won't work anymore ... and I can't test my 2500K neither, don't have any other 1155 board, dunno if it's alive or not. Now I prefer to laugh ... but these last days have been a crazy nightmare to me.

So I had to unmount all the burnt rig .... and took apart the PSU, Motherboard and CPU from "Survivor" (my F@H dedicated rig) to run it again and check that the GFX was working. Fortunately it is and I have a working rig ... but I'll have to keep these parts in this one till I decide to upgrade, so no numbers for me within some weeks. Sorry team

Well, since we are on bad news, GTA5 is using my rig currently and my work laptop is in my bag, in the car, so no production until I get it in tomorrow or leave for work.

You made me think how bad GTAV will perform with this Q8200, in CS:GO I went from 300FPS constant to 50-90FPS, I need an upgrade soon

Damn first world problems

 

[NastyHabits]

Time marches on and I take a small step up. Since my experiment with a GTX 750Ti in an AM1 was a bust no thanks to Maxwell driver issues in windows, I decided to take steps to improve my results.

Here's step one: A GTX 960.

Here's an early screen shot

Since it's the small version of a GTX 960 running in an x4 slot, it's not the same results one might expect from a "normal" GTX running at x16.
That said, I'm pleased with the results so far. I'm getting double the PPD for Core 17's and one third more PPD for Core 15's. Power draw at the wall has increased by a mere 40 watts. I've also gotten the GPU temp down to 50 by raising the fan speed to 40%. The PC is still inaudible at those settings.

More points for me, more points for the team, and I've ceased my slide down the rankings both on the team and world wide.

BTW: Just the beginning. I have more to come.

Congratulation with your new power-efficient folder. I doubt that having a full 16x slot will give you more than 0.5-1 second per frame. Core15 I get 41.8K PPD on the 8018 and 270K PPD on 9201 and the core15 pull 50 W more. Sorry but I kill them when I see them.

My rigs will be off for the next two weeks or so....sorry. I will try to make up later.

Shall I hop over to Denmark to make up the difference?

With you current output ONE day will make up for 14 of the mine. No just keep making Romania looking good, Btw congrat with 3/4 day Cherry pie.

Pics?

 

[NastyHabits]

Pics?

I forgot to mention that the card also only uses one 6-pin PCI-e power connector making it even more useable in my SFF PC.
Since it's all buttoned up, here's a link to the card at newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487093

 

[BUCK NASTY]

It took 2 weeks, but I have given up on 5-6 cards running in one rig. Going back to the original 2 rig set-up. I completely FUBAR'd the installs, so gotta start over from scratch. Got 4x 970's running last night and I'll have the other rig up and running tonight.
