I let my F@H running 24/7 on my 2nd pc for the past couple days. However, sometimes either cpu or gpu ready but there is no project running, so i have to remove and add cpu/gpu again. Is there a way to make sure both cpu/cpu always get projects to do without doing the whole remove-add slot again every 1-2 hours?

Welcome to our team and the world of folding. Short answer is no. The longer answer is - pause/fold, but the effect is the same - you reduce YOUR time to the next try connection attempt. We are overwhelming the already long overdue update of Standford servers, both for the number of connections and the numbers of new job. I take a trip to my four folding rig three-four times a day but I can see that I'm running 40% of what I used to do.

There are more people folding than there are jobs to distribute. Just click on the "Pause" button, wait a few seconds, then click on the "Fold" button. I wouldn't bother doing more than 3 or 4 times a day. Patience is the key.

Probably a noob question since I've been away for a while (used to do WCG before). But when you quit folding mid-work unit does that work get lost and you have to restart, and hence it's better to let the WU be ready before quitting? Or does it pick up from where it left?

You don't lose work, but you do lose bonus points.

Oops, I did that last night mid way through to reclaim my GPU for over activity (games.)

That's OK. Folding at home still gets the results. You only lose bonus points. We still applaud and are grateful for your participation.

Correct, the job will find a check point and resume. If you have succesfully completed 10 GPU jobs after entering your pass key you will lose a lot of bonus But the job will be of value. In general your should complete the job you start in one go.

Bonus Points
The prompt completion of Work Units (WUs) is very important for the science we’re doing. In order to study the proteins we’re interested in, we need be able get the results back quickly. A faster turnaround also means that we can launch projects that are larger and more difficult than ever before. So in 2010 we introduced the Quick Return Bonus (QRB), which gives extra points to users who rapidly and reliably complete WUs. The QRB has been fairly successful in aligning points with scientific value, and we will continue to use it.

Hey. I'm folding now as well as crunching.... when do I get my sweet F@H badge?! lol

Gonna have to get a block for my old 1080.... them little fans are howling away.

Cleaning the front filter helps.

This is the rig before the tubes all turned yellow:

I mentioned in another thread, but undervolt and underclock I have my 1070 running at 80% power I think and 54% fan (very quiet compared to what I'm used to) and does fine The 1080 Ti's in SLI, they are a little warmer but temps between 50C to 65C (bottom and top card) again, 80% power and 54% fan speed I do also have 4 fans around them to get some air flowing as it's all air cooled and I'm sorry to say it, but man it sucks!!

But that's my secret

I need some water blocks and water cooling!!

Yes you sure need some water. 3.15 MHz and 83 C!

It's normally around 75C but I think it was a little warmer today... That's with the vcore down to 0.9vcore as well... I guess they are just warm CPUs

Edit with a picture

I try to run everything I can when my solar is producing constantly like this...



I think anything over 2000w+ is normally enough to cover everything I currently run if I'm honest...

Welcome to TPU @asphodel !! I can now start tagging you in the milestones for one!!

 

[Noxman]

Hi, Just joined the TPU team.

Crunching a bit on my HP Z600, gonna upgrade to 2x x5675 but not sure what GPU i'm gonna put in it. Leaning between somewhere between Gtx 970 - 1070.

(F@H name is Danoxman)

Welcome to TPUs FAH team @Noxman !! Great to have you on board!!

Hello everyone,

I 'm folding on two machines now:

- i7 3770 , titan x Pascal , in a small case (medion PC)
-i7 6700K , GTX 1080ti , in a good aircooled Antec case

Both machines now only folding on GPU-slot.

Welcome to the nicest FAH and WCG Team out there I think!!

Great to have you on our team and if there's anything we can do to help with any problems or anything like that, please let us know!! You'll get tagged in any milestones you pass so hopefully if you wish to know, that will keep you up to date

 

[The Foldinator]

Welcome to the nicest FAH and WCG Team out there I think!!

I think so to
And i have gone trough some teams. i also think this is the most active board with F@H and WCG of course..

 

[phill]

If anyone can suggest for me to do anything differently/better etc. just let me know!!

Are there any 50711 TPU themed avatars available, like @The Foldinator ?

Sorry for the late reply mate, but i am not sure if there are and standard avatars(i don't think so) but when i thought of you're PPD i made this

but if you wan't anything else (themed) i can make it for you
