Only 20 AWG? Thats is less the 1 mm, say no more.

Well, got her fixed up. This has happened before, I am using a common design so I may move PSU's around to different boards in the future. It's not pretty, but it works.









Fixed!

Okay, my ppd will have to go down for a while. I need my main rig again. My 1st folding box will fold 24/7. You saw the parts for my 2nd folding box. I'm doing all I can on a fixed income!

We should know in the next 10 minutes whether the servers are fixed. My guess? Nope!

Weird. Just noticed my folding rig hasnt been folding all day. It was stuck at 0% on a WU. I opened the Logfile, and its been doing this all day:

Downloads new WU
Successfully decompresses the WU
Immediately deletes the WU
Wash, Rinse Repeat

Also, everytime it tries to get a new WU, it fails at making a connection 8-10 times before finally downloading a WU successfully. The GPU on that same rig isnt having this problem. I wonder if its a problem on my side, or in their servers.

Wipe the whole folder, keep the setting file.

How did you get over 95k today? Nevermind it must be your CPU.

Deleted all files, and redownloaded trackers. Here's what the CPU's log says:

Bigadv picked up a WU finally.

Gave up on -bigadv for today. SMP really sucks but it's better then seeing Attempt #21 to get work failed. On top of that I got the bad 2684 (Run 0, Clone 1, Gen 50) that has been around for at least 3 days (known issue, but not dealt with) http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=17614

EDIT: Finally back to 60 k PPD. No fun looking at a 6702 yielding 24 k PPD.
EIDT2: Second rig had the same transformation from sub crazy folder to 60 k PPD just now.
EDIT3: Same WU -6900 (13, 10 , 34) One is doing 21:00, the other close to 22:00. Difference is 0.05 GHz, slow RAM speed and SSD / HD.
