Crunchers Helping Crunchers

Welcome aboard!

Thanks. I already entered the teams ID when I started.
Is there anything else I need to do?

Welcome Killerdroid. If you are folding with your GPU apply for a key. http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-passkey/
As it says you have to complete 10 work units (WU) before you get the bonus points but with a decent new GPU the difference between just base points and the bonus for quick return of the WU is huge. What do you fold with? Feel free to ask all the stupid questions we did when we began folding.

Edit: We try to keep each topic in its right place. This is def not in its right place for this talk but for future WGC or folding post there is most likely a thread that suits. Cruncher help cruncher is for donating stuff.

Hi mstenholm,

Thanks for the info (I needed it )

I've been folding with a Quad core 8 thread Xeon E3-1240v2 in an 1155 server.
As suggested earlier my two old but fully working 780 Ti's in my X79 rig will do the crunching, is that correct?
The x79 rig also has an 8 Core Xeon E5.

I saw the points (http://folding.stanford.edu/stats/team/50711) and could see that it must have been a CPU folding (low points/WU). The 780Ti is a decent folder. It can't crunch, only fold so DL FAH and add GPU - FAHControl in Advance, Configure, Slots, Add and mark GPU and save. You might what to Remove CPU at the same place if you don't plan to crunch on the PC. If you delete CPU because you want to crunch on the CPU then you will have to go to WCG settings and make sure that you don't have 100 % CPU, but leave one thread free for the folding per GPU, set it to 75 %. The folding takes a full thread per GPU and it will fight for it with WCG and folding loses.

Edit: Here is a table that show what yours (and other) GPU can do. Be aware that these people tend to forget to report the not so good results.

Edit 2: 2 780 Ti's so text above is changed.

Thanks.

It was just the CPU that was doing the folding as it's a small server that only has an older unsupported 1GB GPU.
Am I correct in thinking using the server for folding@home and the 780Ti rig for WCG?
Sorry if I seem confused. This damn health condition wreaks havoc with the mind fog.

Backwards.
CPU: WCG
GPU: F@H

No. GPU is for FAH and CPU is for WCG.

Thanks guys,

Well it appears I had it the wrong way round. Easily fixed....

I'm having some issues with my build. To avoid double posting I'm going to link to the post in my build thread.

A quick call out to fellow crunchers to help me with my wish to get a Xeon processor for my socket 1155 rig, I really want a 4 core 8 thread CPU to replace my i5 3570K and would be willing to swap and pay the difference.
From what I see on the support list it has to be a E3-1245-V2 or a E3-1275-V2 (with built in graphics).

You are in luck my good sir but shipping to you would probably put a big hole in my pocket. I have a Z77 CPU/Mobo setup that I will offer once I am done swapping with the upgraded hardware (6700K/Z170).

Gigabyte Z77X-UP7 motherboard and Xeon E3-1220 V2 CPU

Okay, what the hell operating system supports 4 physical processors????????? I see that server 2012 and 2008 don't?

Does Linux Mint? Or Ubuntu?

I'm in dire need of an operating system that will support 4 physical processors. Jeez!

Ubuntu will do it- that's what my 4P is running

 

[XZero450]

All 64bit Linux distros should get you where you want, but I have no personal experience to back that up. Could also check out a BSD variety since they are built for servers and workstations.

 

[stinger608]

That's what I thought as well Bill!

I did find out that server 2008 R2 Standard Enterprise will support up to 8 physical processors so that is what's loading right now. If the research I did is BS, I'll download and install Linux. Just...........Damn............Linux! I have the hardest damn time with that. LOLOL

Server 2012, and probably 2008 will do four sockets, as long as the edition of the OS is not Standard.

Damn............Linux! I have the hardest damn time with that.

Setup in Ubuntu only takes 15 minutes or so- setup a flash drive through pendrivelinux and it's pretty easy to load it up on a HDD

Right. I'm using 2008 R2 Enterprise.

Just finished installing Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise, and boom, it's showing 4 physical processors!

Updating server and getting ready to install BOINC. Got to get it going before the challenge.

What's up everyone! I haven't been around in a long time. A lot has changed, I don't know if this is the right place to put this but I'll give it a shot. I looking to get rid of my SR-2 with 2 x5670's and my Supermicro 2042g-6rf server with 4 6176 se's. I don't know what they're worth anymore. Any help would be appreciated, or if anyone is interested make me an offer.

Hey Bud- drop me a PM next time you're online and we'll see if we can find a home for those

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

Let me start with an Ugh! I recently picked up a used x99-UD5 that I was hoping I could use with an 2695v4 to be a 24/7 cruncher for awhile except that it arrived with a broken pin and doesn't function. At the same time I have to send my x99 MPower in for repair/replacement which has been running my 5930k when I need it.

As it stands I could use some assistance locating some parts while I wait for one of my motherboards to be repaired. I am looking for an x99 board(to use for the challenge), a 900+w psu, and pump. The motherboard will hopefully only be temporary as I've order a X99A Raider and should be able to get at least one of my previously mentioned boards fixed, but the PSU and pump will go to keeping my second x99 running.

Just need a PSU. My MPower is on it's way back and I grabbed a pump off ebay. PM me links to decent deals, I just need assistance locating ;-)

 

[thebluebumblebee]

Just need a PSU

Size?

 

[XZero450]

Size?

Ideally the 900w+ range so I can add a couple graphics cards.

Have PSU's on the way.. now I need 120mm fans..
