My big rig is an ASUS Z77 WS.

Kat found the piano in the Amsterdam airport during a layover.

Thought I'd start up F@H again, but ran into the same poor PPD that I've always gotten with this 660 Ti. I'm running WCG on 7 threads. And my system is nearly unusable.

Use the 7770 instead. Better PPD and less strain on your CPU.

The 660 Ti should get twice the PPD of the 7770, but never has.

You run Linux on the PC as well? I can see that 75k (Ubuntu) is realistic with the 660 Ti and I know that the 7770 is between 28 and 36K (Win).

 

[thebluebumblebee]

It's currently on my W7 system. Even under Linux, I don't recall too many days in the 60K's. I used to average around 33K with the 7770 at 1GHz.

My 970 SSC was idle today found the hard drive had given up. Got it back up with new hard drive so maybe I can get my numbers back up. They have been low ever since my little vacation with EVGA.

My 2x970 rig have a USB router with a limit (5 GB I think). That limit it hit about 5 minutes after I went to bed last night. It was the cold air coming from that room that lead my attention to it next morning. It takes some attention to run close to the potential PPD.

Glad to see you back folding!!! I gave up on my 660 Ti awhile ago. It used too much juice, and didn't get that great results, not much better than you're showing. Switching to a GTX 960 gave me much greater PPD and I can run it 24/7/365 with less juice than a light bulb.

Except.... I just realized that since I was using EVGA Precision to keep the 960 at 50C or less, I was overheating the HD to 44C. It's been shutting down alot lately. I'm currently running with an open case and stock fan speeds on the 960. Hopefully it will last a while 'til I find a better solution.

Actually, I got so pissed at it that I deleted it. I want to F@H, just not in my budget at this time.

Well hopefully i can now let it all run 24/7.
i did some changes again and so far my BSOD problem seem to be solved.

I swapped the Quad Cores from board to board and while i did that, i noticed the cooler was very very close to some of the caps.. i do think it was touching them.
but still monitoring it, as it has run fine for a day before or at least 6 to 8 hours.

This is my new updated setup(s) just will be adding more GPU's


Happy Folding Guys..

I can see that the cat found the warmest room in your house.

Careful with the rubber bands--they have a tendency to dryrot and fall apart pretty quickly when used like that

 

[hertz9753]

Just like the band I never liked that song but the pie is good.

Okay, I don't need the client automatically setting up all my cpu cores and gpu cores on first startup. I want my gpu only running. Why does it assume I want all my 1st gen i7 cores in the mix.... I don't.
I'm still fighting to set up my client as I'm posting this. Stupid, I could be doing 100k runs instead. Why didn't they fix this?

Just remove the CPU slot when you start up OR don't quit FAHControl just pause it.

 

[johnspack]

970s coming down in price... need me a 2nd used 970.....

 

[johnspack]

I will donate more as I can. Hard when you have a 600 dollar debit, and you just paid off 500. And get 900 per month to live on. I need one more 970.

He sure did

And i have improved my computer skillzs from BSOD's to lockups(of course over night), damn i'm good
i have pretty much ruled everything out, CPU have been swapped memory has been swapped GPU's have been...

all that is left, is the motherboard itself?!
just one small thing i can do , is swap PSU's..

Starting to doubt if this motherboard was running good at all when i bought it..
a well in the end i will upgrade it and that seem to be sooner then expected

Have a good F@H production(science) guys...

Sad to say, I won't be folding for a couple of days. The HD in my folding box is almost dead. It only took 20 minutes before it shutdown after the last reboot . I have a replacement coming by Friday. Should be a simple fix since the HD only holds data and user files. Wish me luck.

 

[hertz9753]

Was it a SSD or HDD? I'm just wondering. It does suck either way when drives go out.

Did you try reinstalling your OS?

I have a small SSD for the OS. The HD is for data and programs that do frequent small writes, like F@H. It also serves as a storage box for music and videos. The case doesn't have the best air flow, and so the HD was running at 44C 24/7/365 which is not good. I ordered a 2TB WD Purple HD and a thin fan to sit on top of it. Should be OK.

 

[hertz9753]

I have to go now. It was great to come back and fold with all of you. Hang in there and keep folding.

???? Going back to OCN?

 

[mstenholm]

I'm returning to my rigs tomorrow. It seems like they have some connection/other problems. Sad to see 1.1M PPD potential producing 700k.

Edit: Home - one blue screen in my i7 970/GTX 970 (MSI) rig. I better get a safer OC on that CPU.
I did (by accident?) set the clock to 1329 MHz on one other GTX 970. I left in a hurry for the airport one early morning some days ago and that GPU had a bad WU during the night. It was running 1512 at the time. I might have dialed it down to much
