Well that's to be expected an low/mid range 2012 GPU versus a top of the line nVidia 2016 GPU with a shitton more compute power it may as well be a 1/4mile race between a Ford Model A and a Farrari f12-berlinetta sure they'll both get there in the end but you know which will be first

Not to split hairs here, but 980 released in 2014, not 2016. And of course I was expecting a huge jump in PPD, but I was actually shocked that the 980 threw down this much. When I folded briefly on my 290, another high end 2014 gpu, it didn't impress similarly. Gotta give Maxwell credit

I do want to measure the power draw on this rig. I used to use my UPS to measure power draw, but it has since died on me so I need to find a new way. I will in due time.

$20 solution?

Very cool, I'll be snagging that for sure. Thanks for posting :respect:

What, not sold in stores? :banghead:

oh well, gotta order it :ohwell:

They are sold in stores, just maybe not home depo. I think I got mine from fry's electronics, but I've seen them at walmart and microcenter. They're nearly anywhere that sells anything electronic.

Ahhzz · Apr 30, 2016

I got mine off Amazon, iirc....

Remember that those are meant for testing and are not meant to be used full-bore 24/7. We had someone else here on TPU melt through one of them.

Ha, that would be horrible! :eek:

. Good point though, thanks.

I'll check out a few local places but there's nothing good around here. To put it into perspective, I saw this the other day, first pc tech I've seen in a while... :laugh:

(sorry for the huge pic, on my phone and couldn't resize it)

Though I was at Bestbuy the other day and I saw a mom buying her son a Cyberpowerpc. Didn't know they sold much these days, so I'm going to go to check out to see if they have anything worthwhile in the pc area.

The other day I moved mine from one PC to another. It had 3800 kWh on it so they (some) can run for a longer period.

I hate how those plug in. They have other models and there are some units (Watts Up?)that will actually log your power usage, but they cost a lot more.

manofthem said:

380K PPD average so far. Nice.

Running through my alerts, I saw a bunch of "So-and-so quoted your post in TPU's F@H Team" and had a brief "Oh crap, what did I say?" moment. :laugh:

Got mine from Ace Hardware for, iirc, $32. I did a quick search online and that was the cheapest I could find it.

Woah. I did not know that. I've ran mine plugged in to my server for a pretty long while. I think it was doing about 250-300 watts constant for a really, really long time. I'll consider myself lucky.

Saw those too. I think they're designed more for "Hey, how much does this thing cost me to run this month?" scenarios.

DarthBaggins · May 3, 2016

LiL HTPC of OverKill is still chomping away at projects. Need to get it underwater or at least the CPU so I can get the 4790k back at its normal daily driver OC of 4.8 and add it to the client. But the 960 is doing good so far and found out BitsPower makes a fullcover waterblock for it, problem is I can't find a place that sells them other than BitsPower TW.

It could just be that the person was pushing way too much through it, but I personally wouldn't use it for anything but a short period of time.

The first thing I saw in that pic was the Antec power supplies. I thought, "Hmm, Matt must have been at Staples..." :laugh:

Checked the folding rig and the Folding Control was blank, all my info was wiped or something. My little 16 month old crawled up and was messing with the keyboard last night, so I can only assume accidentally hit keys that deleted my stuff...?

Sucks, probably lost whatever it was working on as well as the downtime since last night :mad:

Edit: reinstalled f@h and my info like name, team etc was there again, but folding started back over at 0%. Eh, makes sense, no worries

thebluebumblebee · May 6, 2016

Maybe she needs that Hello Kitty keyboard?
My youngest daughter, at about the same age, got ahold of an expansion slot cover and "drew" all over one of my CRT's. Ruined the coating on the glass.

manofthem · May 11, 2016

I'm surprised by how much fluctuation there is with ppd and different wu's according to FAHcontrol, varying from like 320k up to 440k. I've reconciled to not really pay attention to it, just let it run. Same with my WCG systems, can't get caught up too much in the day to day activity.

Oh that would have made me steam!!! Reminds me of when I was dating my now wife and her little brother wrote his name on the hood of my car with whatever, and that name didn't wash off :mad:

That hellokitty keyboard would be cool for them, maybe even the wife. I will be building a simple system for my oldest daughter (5yrs), or more likely going to pass one along to her when I upgrade mine :laugh:

so maybe then she can get it.

Sure there is big difference between the projects. I made a list based on HFM.net data and found that my PPD was between 230 and 350k PPD. I admit that that I kill the worst if I catch them before they reach 5 % progress. That amounts to one or two per week. I do it to send a message to the project owner that he/she didn't do a good job adjusting the point during beta test. Low points -> longer completion time for the project. Not sure if they get the message

but it makes me feel better.

Got a new water pump (the third in six years). I had shut down the PC in the night and re-started it the next day but it shut down a few seconds after WCG started up. My CPU was 94 C in bios and I got the hint. I manged to fit in my 480 rad inside my case top with three fans. Temperatures are up a bit but still 55 C max @ 4 GHz for an old i7 970 running flat out is OK for me.

Nice idea. It is fair enough on your/our end to do that, might even start trying something similar.

Oh that's a bad feeling right there

Please forgive my ignorance but how do we abort WUs? I'd like to kill this current sucker with its low ppd.

The one I looked in on earlier was showing like 420k+ and now this.... Seems everything that start with a 9xxx is low ppd

edit: do I just go it, right click > Finish?

edit2: well it's moving along quickly, didn't notice that at first.

Configure - Slots - mark and remove, save. Wait 10-20 seconds until Status shows no folding GPU, add the GPU again under Configure - Slots. Remember to save.

I just removed a 9212 doing 190k. Sorry.

I've been apprehensive to delete the gpu slot because in times past, I've had trouble adding it back in (I've ended up un/re-installing F@H because of the trouble). Likely I may be doing something wrong so I'll need to play with it a little more.

hertz9753 · May 15, 2016

Why wouldn't you just fold the WU?
