Don't stop now! We need all of our folders to help fend off the Canucks.

well if u pay my powerbill ill keep folding

 

[imperialreign]

For what it's worth - I'm back up and running, ATM. One GPU WU submitted so far . . .

Trying to get my second 4870x2 folding, but the clients are being a PITA. As it stands, though, running 3 clients - 1 GPU and 2 SMP. The two SMP clients seem to be getting along just fine, and total CPU load averages ~85%. Performance between the two SMPs is not being affected by the other, currently, which is good . . . hopefully they'll continue to get along just fine as new WUs/cores are executed.

Set up another client on one of our computers at work, it'll churn out a little now and then - I don't expect much from such an aging, antique, single-core CPU, onboard video rig . . . but something is better than nothing. The rig is on 24/7, anyhow, so might as well put it to good use.

Grrrrr! Murphy gets me again.

WTF! After folding for months, the windows firewall decides to block FahCore_11. And of course this happens when I'm away for the holidays.
Grrr! Good thing I forgot where I put my 28 oz framing hammer.

one million mark

Finally hit and surpassed the big one million mark...........

 

[King Wookie]

Gratz mate!!

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i am down 2 rigs ATM
running 2 OCed 8800GT
and 1 underclocked 8800GT because it is on a 350w PSU with a E1500 gets unstable at stock GPU clocks
so that leaves me with 1 8800GTS short.

on the upside i have 2 PSUs coming and a GTX260. so i will be full force by new years i hope

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

hell yea btw if u have any trouble with the asrock board shoot me a pm 9/10 i will have been there done that and found a way to fix it haha (its finicky )

hope you get back to folding 100% soon lol

thanks. So far i have figured out its in's and out's. I had no problem getting my CPU to 3.6ghz(X2 240) or even 3.9ghz but it gave me hell getting 4ghz and almost impossible to get 4.1ghz but got that worked out also.Your right it does overvolt alot. i had it set at 1.55v it ran it to 1.63v

i had alittle benching fun last night with my new CPU. So i had to learn and new board and CPU I still don't know the limits. It kept climbing when i gave up because i was cold and tired

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well it took my 940be to 4ghz 24/7 stable just the temps got to high for me kinda let down by my gigabyte board as i top out at a bootable 3.4 altho it might be my ram but multiplier overclocking shouldnt be effected by ram at all so i dont know dud board maybe or maybe just a bad combo of cpu mobo and ram for me needless to say i miss that asrock board you have now even tho it gave me hell it clocks like a beast for a budget board

and yea the overvolting scared me on my 940be its another reason i backed down

if u can do some benchs and post them up on what that setup can do some gaming some folding ppd #s etc

Yo! Folding homies,

I just got the my 4th rig up and running. Four more G92's putting out @16-18K for the team.

Good for you, the team and the research. I noticed that you dropped a bit in production the past few days and I thought that you ran from commitment of "stepping it up". Now I never catch you.

I had some weird stability issues with my two GTS 250's. Never figured it out. Kept getting "UNSTABLE_MACHINE" when the second instance finished and got a new job. Didn't matter which card was first or second to launch. Many reboots and much lost work later, it stopped. So basically, my output was cut in half for a couple of days.

As for catching me, it doesn't matter. You're folding steadily and moving up the ranks.

My production will be dropping off for a while: http://forums.techpowerup.com/showpost.php?p=1720802&postcount=6121

 

[oily_17]

Waiting on my new i7, should be here Monday

Then just need some WC parts and should be good to go.

On a downside the place I ordered my second K9A2 from, just refunded my money yesterday as they have not got their stock in yet ( It's crap they waited a week till tell me )

EDIT: Bad luck with the motor Wile E, it's hard to justify the money for the power bill at times like that.

 

[JrRacinFan]

I'm back guys with my single GTS. Small hiatus due to temps.

 

[theonedub]

my 2 GTX275s are going 100% 24/7 for the time being (my GSO is still up as well)

 

[BUCK NASTY]

I need a -bigadv guy to point me to the software you are using. I pulled the VM image off of the EVGA forums, but just want to make sure everything is kosher. I have this i7 860 @ 3.7ghz with temps of 65c on water (vcore is a little high). Currently folding my 5th of 10 regular SMP WU's. Getting 8900-9K PPD with 8 cores loaded and also feeding a gtx260. Does this PPD sound right to you guys?

 

[theonedub]

The SMP client alone is netting 9k PPD? That seems fine to me, but I am no expert. Hopefully someone can help as I would like to run some bigadv WUs down the road and a tutorial like your current SMP WM one would be really helpful!

Yes. you are right. We will need a tutorial soon, as these -bigadv WU's are uncharted territory for me. I know there are a lot of i7's out there that peeps want to showcase and we want them folding for TPU!.

 

[El Fiendo]

The SMP client PPD sounds about right for 8 cores, although I suggest you switch it to 7 cores the next time you're in between work units. Don't switch core counts while the current work unit is half finished as it will nullify the work unit and you'll lose the points.

The reason I suggest 7, is that both Bogmali (I'm pretty sure he did anyways) and myself found that 7 yielded more than 8 as well as it gives the GPUs a bit more room to breath. I think that its likely down to 4 virtual cores not being quite as strong as real ones and therefore choking the CPU a little. Having said that, both of us were on i7 920s, so I'm not certain if the same holds true for your 860.

I'm going to attempt to contact LinuxFAH (LinuxRouter / creator of the image and guide) and see if I can repaste it here along with a few things, tidbits and tricks I noticed and/or found. Also, I'll add in anything Bogi and others have to say on the matter.


Edit: I derp. I derp te derp te derp. That is all.

Get that thing running. I'm anxious to see how the i860 performs on -bigadv's. I'd rather go that route than an i920. In the long run it will be cheaper to run for me. (Besides, I really like the ASUS Sabertooth motherboard.) I have a month before I can order anything, so I'm looking forward to my fellow "Nasty" to blaze a trail for me.

I'm back.. again. Not at full blast, but seems like I just won't die....
