That's a good approach. With CPU attached dual PCIe x16 slots running at x8 you can get good performance. This should give your single-thread execution speed a generous boost over that vintage gear. The other approach would be eBay server-class systems and mining frames, which is what I did...

Yes, should be tomorrow. @XZero450 will make the Top 200 mark soon also! I continue to watch that 200 spot, it has been an interesting few months. There is still a surge of Folders in the 300 rank that will be pushing into the 200 level. I made a quick count of 25 folders at >9M PPD in that 300...

I've decided that single-thread execution speed is the key factor for Folding GPU/CPU and of course, sufficient cores available to feed & control the GPU. I recently upgraded a dual Xeon folder CPUs and saw a definite increase in Folding efficiency. I did a blog post about the transition...

Any closed case can have dead zones or areas with weak circulation. Currently, I have two closed cases Folding, both now have side-mounted 120mm CoolerMaster Sickeflow fans. I had issues cooling storage controller cards too, my cine edit station has 11 drives in it. At one point I had two GPUs...

I'm seeing some potential drama on the horizon... mStenholm is still at the 199 spot. Three folders are closing in on that spot... The #3 guy is @XZero450. That #200 spot is currently the Top Battleground for Folding Rank. From the original posting date of Jan 14th, it has been interesting to...

I spent much of yesterday working on this analysis, the results were surprising. Also reinforcing other work I had done previously. Hope some of you find it interesting. https://fahtech.com/2020-2021-what-changed-not-what-i-expected-to-find/

Dialing back. Seeing a lot of that. Most noticeable was Nvidia SaturnV, the former #2, near and now at zero over the space of two weeks. Most/all the LTT high-flyers are now in the same neighborhood with @Jacky_BEL and @XZero450. Crypto-Coin teams are now 3of5 for Top Folders. With LTT...

@mstenholm is at 199 on the EOC site!!! Congratulations!!! Fahtech shows his Active Rank as 118. Active Rank is what you get when you remove all the Inactives, I call them abandons. The first post was on Jan 14th, so it's been over two months, to move 11 spots.

I neglected to mention... I never fold on CPUs. 1) the ppd/watt yield is horrible. 2) it impacts overall production yield. 3) no names mentioned, but some CPUs will attempt to fry themselves while folding. Even with those fancy heatsink-coolers. A GTX1050Ti will produce more points at...

I suspect there is a slight benefit for faster CPU. Windows you should have at least 2 cores per GPU. Running GPUs in the second x16 slot for desktop mobos will often be a problem too. Even for my Ryzen5 3600 X570, the Gigabyte mobo had the 2nd GPU at PCIe x4 & about a 15% performance drop on a...

@Jacky_BEL is running in the Top50 today!

@Jacky_BEL you mentioned logging in another post... Setting up HFM to do all the wu logging is easy if you have the client control working. I've logged 14,800 wu since early Sept. Simple to export logs for spreadsheets. Only issue with HFM is, it has to run minimized & logged on, if you X the...

The Top300 page now has interactive features. Rows view, sort on various columns, interactive search. Search for team #s or donor names,

New, "softer" colors (more pastel-like), easier to read. Refactored code, put colors into an array. Simplified color management. Depending on your browser cache, it might not show immediately. The updates continue to drift, but the rate is more erratic. So far... I've not seen the tracker miss...
