[Mydog]

Funny seeing my PURE teammate and me folding for different teams in the chimp challenge

Which team are you folding for?

This may sound odd, but I'm happy to report that my computer crashed* .

I know that having a computer crash isn't usually good, but I desperately needed to clean the fans and I didn't want to lose my four month 100% uptime record. I called in the people who dug out the Chilean miners to unearth the heatsinks buried under the dust piles on my motherboard.

Now I can fold on four cores 24/7 instead of just 2 during the day and 4 at night. Additionally I can update my prehistoric CCC 10.8 drivers to 11.4p and maybe start using GPU3 with my HD 5830.

I managed to gather a few more volunteers from amongst my friends. I should have them set up and folding some time this evening.

*Crash was due to a RAM error apparently. Fortunately it's lifetime warrantied.

4 months?! I wish my computer was that stable. Very impressive.

Internet is back up! Dumped what I had and going back for more. Everyone must remember to not start a -bigadv that they cannot finish before the end of the CC. Switch over to SMP2 for a strong finish.

Anyone knows of something similar to fahtracker for Linux? I wanna get folder #2 up ASAP, my MSDNAA downloads of Windows died and the box already has Ubuntu 10.4LTS on it.

P.S: Being an NBA addict in the middle east is a bitch. Went to bed at 1930, woke up at 0200, watching Miami vs. Boston now instead of sleeping. lol.

Going to fire up another rig tonight (i7 920 @ 4GHz). Will I have enough time to do a bigadv before the end?

So if they are taking about 1.5 days for me then I should stop on like Friday then???

If it is clocked 3.8 or higher and stable, you should have no problem finishing before the end of the CC.



I think I might need to put this baby on Ice!

Same question here, just started a -bigadv on an i7 860 and it will finish in 2d 13hrs. Will it be within the time limit?

Start tonight and you should be fine.

ARGH. Folder #2 got owned by a Linux bug that affects multi-GPU setups. Trying to get Windows off MSDNAA again...

Our team does not have many Linux Folders. Those who are use them for bigadv. GPU Folding on Linux is difficult. Try to get it on Windows.

Already running as you can see, just the i7 2600K left to switch and that I'll do tomorrow night.

MyDog - Could you give a short tutorial on getting that HMD interface set-up?

We have an app.., er I mean a thread for that. It does not work with Client V7.

All of my -bigadv rigs take about 2d 13hrs to complete.

My next -bigadv WU will finish on May 12 at about 11pm CST (9pm PDT).
This rig should complete another WU on May 15 at about 12pm CST (10am PDT).
That's 2 hours before the CC finishes.

I'd say any rig at 3.8 or higher will be fine if started before May 12 at 11pm CST (9pm PDT).
Buck do you see anything wrong with this.

Your logic is sound. These -bigadv are amazingly accurate at predicting the completion of the work unit. I say go for it msgclb!

It's just HFM.NET, the important thing are to have the FAH folder shared or as I do put them in the "pictures" folder that's always shared. Then just add a client, type in the name, mhz etc and point it to the FAH folder on the rig.

If you want it to make html pages just check the type of pages you want in the preferences.

I started using fahcore_16 with my HD 5830 and it looks like it's much better than SMP. My estimated PPD is now 6500 using GPU3 only. When I was using SMP, estimated PPD was only 2000. I don't really understand the significance of those numbers though.

It takes about 25% of my CPU to feed GPU3. I may run SMP with my other three cores.

Thanks. I'm nuts about stability so it takes me quite a while to find an overclock that I'm happy with.

Looks like OCN is about to slip down a spot.

I have been folding on the 8800GTS OC for you guys. Not as much as i had last year but it is still something and next year i will have a Bulldozer most likely to help you guys out more.

Good job so far guys

Somebody out there doesn't want my to get my second folder up. I finally got the download from MSDNAA to finish and now my DVD-RW died. Going to burn it on my lappie now, argh.

Jeez.
