So after 5 weeks away I fired up my 2xGTX970s today. The first WU completed fine as usual but then a 9643 hit me and I got Core_outdated (core_21) and then nothing. The other GPU is now 40% in as 10 hour 9206 unit so deleting the core and hoping to get a newer version is 6 hours away. I deleted the work folder and got another 9206 AND the same Core_outdated message. How can I work on one 9206 unit on one GPU but not on the other? I'm not really looking for solutions from you guys but more for other people's experineces. I will complete the one running, delete the core and then a newer version of core_21 will download automaticly. BTW good to be back from Africa and the malaria I contracted and the AK47s shooting on us (two colleauges now kidnapped!).

Sorry you got Malaria, but really glad you weren't shot (or worse)!

Welcome back- hope you feel better soon and your colleauges are returned unharmed!

The malaria is gone, I think. Yes I sure hope that they have a short stay in the jungle.

They got released this morning

. I don't cry often but I did when I heard. FUCK NIGERIA.

That's VERY good to hear. :clap:

I think you might have had a case of survivor's guilt, and those tears were a release from that. Would your wife say that you've been grumpy and irritable since you've gotten back? (

or more so than normal) Have you had trouble sleeping? I don't mean for you to answer these questions here, just to yourself.

That is some truly great news! I'm very happy for all involved.

How high capacity PSU would you guys suggest for a 3 card folding machine?

thebluebumblebee · Nov 18, 2015

depends on the cards

agent00skid · Nov 18, 2015

Don't have any plans. Whatever I can dig up.

thebluebumblebee · Nov 18, 2015

If you're looking for a "one size fits all", then I'd suggest a 1000-1200W PSU. But if you're thinking of something like 3X GTX 970's, they are under 250W (IIRC both Buck and Justin reported them using 140W Folding), so even something as small as an 850W unit should be enough. The big thing, IMHO, is to make sure that the PSU comes with enough native PCI-e power connections. BTW, be careful with be Quiet! PSU's. I saw where some of them have more PCI-e power connectors than they can power. (Dark Power Pro 11)

As a quick rule of thumb, keep a look out for PCIe power pins. That should give you an idea of the maximum a card will use. Each type of connector is rated to provide up to a certain wattage.
4-pin PCIe = ~150w
3-pin PCIe = ~75w
PCIe slot = ~75w

Just add up the connectors a card has and it should give you a decent idea of what to expect (actual usage will be considerably less).

For example, bluebumblebee said the GTX 970s are under 250w. If I pull an image of a reference GTX 970..

..I can see it has two 6-pin PCIe power connectors (75w each) plus the power that the PCIe bus itself provides (also 75w) = 75 + 75 + 75 = 225w

So what do you think:
ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+
A8-7600
1*4GB stick of RAM
SanDisk Z400s 128 GB
Corsair RMi 1000W
Thermaltake Suppressor F31

thebluebumblebee · Nov 18, 2015

I personally have no idea, but I would be hesitant to use that CPU (dual core, cough, cough) with 3 Nvidia GPU's. AMD's? Most likely no problem.

Take your advanced flags off to stay away from the problems with 0x21 wu. This is only for Maxwell.

Any version of Windows that's better to use for dedicated folding machine?

Win7 is IMHO fastest(easiest/better) that i have tested in regards to "GPU" Folding..
CPU Folding IIRC is still linux the fastest (might be 2/3% faster for GPU's as i was told.. did not test this to the fully as i am not a BIG fan of linux.

Good luck with it mate..

Linux provides better performance, but is more difficult to set-up. I do not believe there is and AMD supported driver for linux....???

@agent00skid got it working on AMD.

Was there a production boost for AMD in Linux VS Windoz?

agent00skid · Dec 4, 2015

Core 21 was terrible. Think Core 17 was decent.

Last bits for the folding machine is arriving today. Have plans for the weekend, but can do some testing next week.

mx500torid · Dec 7, 2015

Went to cabin this last week. Watching my ppd take a nose dive but nothing i could do. Back now. 2 of my AMD rigs were down. Noticed that the 2 that were down had no flags while the remaining one had advanced flag set. So added advanced flag and both are back up to speed. So for any AMD guys getting no work this might be your answer.

PP Mguire · Dec 23, 2015

Ok guys, need a bit of advice in core setup. When I'm back to work from the holiday break I'll be switching all CPU cores to crunching. Is it still 1 core per GPU for folding, or should I dedicate 2 per GPU?

The happy days of GPU crunching ended some time ago. Now its plain CPU. Btw nice job you are doing in the folding section. Your CPUs are most welcome here.
