TPU's F@H Team

[Steevo]

So when I started the F@H I already had afterburner and GPUZ running, then I closed GPUZ and immediately the afterburner software showed 1.65 vcore to my GPU!!!!! I thought it to be a glitch, but then I closed afterburner and reopended it and although it showed 1.350 for voltage on the slider the window showed 1.65, then I closed it and opened GPUZ and it showed the same.


WTF is up?





Is this for real?

Have you tried restarting the PC? Possible glitch, don't think it'll just change like that...

[Steevo]

Well I just screwed aroudn with it some more, and the chokes change pitch when it jumps, as well the GPU temp dropped four degrees when I dropped the voltage and the core then ramped them both back to 1.35 and 950Mhz

Now it is stable at 1.35 except afterburner is showing spikes of 2V and the chokes definitely change when it happens.

Yep, stressing the card while FAH is running causes a distinct jump to 1.65 volts, I just dropped it to 760 core and 1.3 volts.

And then it jumps back to 1.65

[Steevo]

Found the issue. DO NOT RUN TWO VOLTAGE SENSOR AWARE UTILITIES ON THESE CARDS!!!!!!


For example running GPUz and Afterburner was a no no. Some members at other forums noticed this same issue and actually measured the voltage, yes it was at 1.65 and yes it did spike to two volts for a few ms.


Might make for awesome overclocking but damages will be done for any length of time in use at that voltage.


EDIT** And now all my little pixilation is gone from aero at normal speeds again. I wonder if the card is damaged?**

See the aero edge of GPUz in the screenshot above.

Pulling 98% use on the GPU and 23-29% of CPU. Estimated 2hrs 59minutes for project 5732

P5732 is a GPU2 project. You need to follow (if you haven't already) the instructions in this post to get the V7 client to pick up a core_16 WU which will get you 2-3 times the PPD. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/sh...postcount=1508 If you've already done this, the client will do a GPU2 WU first before trying to get the core_16 WU.

I most have left one rig with Windows update on. My rigsitter just reported (5 days late) that it had restarted from an update. I should be running on two cylinders from now on unless I will pick up the -bigadv I lost 56 % in (2684), in that case I will get around 3500 PPD on that rig. I really should install some monitoring software. Suggestions?

[Steevo]

It is still running and now processing the new clients OK.

Project 11294

P112924 : Test simulations of a single full-length amyloid beta (Abeta) monomer in water at 370K :

A pathological marker of Alzheimer's disease is the senile plaques composed of Abeta peptides in patient brains. The simulation system is composed of a single full-length Abeta in water. These simulations will serve as a test of force-field usage (ffamber96), system setup and to build up possible Markov states for Abeta monomer, which will serve as great starting points for future oligomerization studies.

Points and final deadlines:

project 11294: 1835 points, preferred deadline 6 days, final deadline 10 days

I am running this at just over 5 hours. ** At 800Mhz core**

I just upped the core and voltage back to my default 1010Mhz and 1.35 and it is stable and running smooth, the fold time has dropped significantly too, so these should be knocked out sooner.

the man speaks utter sense steevo i couldnt get x16 work for the last 2 months(prob me) and now ive got it sorted my ppd has gone up A lot, I run 950 1250 24/7 for folding fine and its doing 8946.67ppd 1835.00 per WU base credit on this project 11294 (15, 214, 19)

ive also upped the clocks on my P4 D gt240 bedroom combo to eek out a few more points
when i get a proper cooler for it instead of the utter ghetobolloxup of a HSF iv thrown together for it(old intel heat sink with random 120 fan fixed fairley oddly above it with pvc tape) il easy get that to 4ghz and it might actually start doin summat

got me to 16 somehow in the foldin pie list

[Steevo]

Completed three work units this afternoon. 10K per day for my card at 1044Mhz core.


Should have done this sooner. Perhaps I will throw this and SMP on three new quad core machines going in to the fleet this week.

Is everyone morning the departure of F150? It's too quiet here.

M, I don't know which ones work and I know that most of them will crash a system Folding on the GPU, because, well, it's using the GPU as well. Teamviewer might work. LogMeIn? Both of those have free versions. If you spent some time going (remote locations, in a hotel, nothing to do..) through this thread and the FAH assistance thread (Oh joy!) you'd find conversations about this very thing. I just don't recall what some have used.

The main reason that I didn't install some remote software already was my fear of adding instability and taking away CPU cycles. I have to relay on my rigsitter. Justed ordered a IPAD2 for her, so she owes my rigs some attention.

[oily_17]

Just upgraded another 920 till a i7 970, got it setup with linux and -bigbeta....

But dont seem to be picking up any -bigbeta work units on any of my rigs

They have been very scarce lately M8, it's a 25% chance that you might get one. I have 2 Linux boxes folding -bigbeta (i7-970 and 2xE5620) and I've only picked up one o far.

Yeah I picked up 2 in a row when I setup my first box...but nothing from then.

Ahh well, should net me about 60k PPD with the P26** WU's I have been getting lately.

[bogmali]

Have one that is dropping tomorrow, we'll see how much that WU is worth

[[H]@RD5TUFF]

Well things have changed, I came into some money, and I will be installing some solar panels on my home, I should be back and folding soon.

Don't you think it would have less of an impact than your rigs sitting for days at a time doing nothing?

Hey, send reminders.

I'm still lurking around.

@ mstenholm, when I ran windows I never ran any of the windows updates on my folding machines. Do you need to remote into them, or are you looking for a way to just monitor progress. I have HFM report each time it updates to a dropbox account that I have, which I can view from my cell phone. If a problem arises, them I call someone and have them go over and restart it.

[mstenholm]

I only need to monitor them. I will look into the HFM method, once I'm back.

You fold loco.

Max stable at 1068

I wonder what 1.45 would net me as with A/C running and the house at 68F it is running 38C on the core.

My memory sucks though, maxes out for F@H at 125x a few clicks above 1260 and I get issues with the units.

i can get it to1100 but not stable at 1.32 max volts how you getting it to 1.45 as its watercooled so might do it with more v

[Steevo]

Yeah temps for me allowed huge gains at the same voltage. This card only ran for a few days before it had water on it. And it was a jump of over 200Mhz stable at the same voltage.

I was thinking about putting it outside this winter as I run a antifreeze mix for coolant and see what a suicide run would get me in Vantage.

[theoneandonlymrk]

so howd i get mine to 1.35-1.45? im brave enough its only a gfx card lol

ive been thinkin up a phase change block but not had the money or time yet

also steevo given your sys spec i wouldnt mind compareing benches m8 just to see what my ol cpu is saying as we have same gfx it would interest me greatly as i believe my mem bandwith to be my bottleneck

also does the antifreeze help?
