Official TPU 2013 Chimp Challenge Thread

I threw together another 2600k first day yesterday stock got 21k now 4.43 ghz almost 29k. That should help. Really would like to see a 200k day one time.

Must be nice to have 2600k's lying around;). I have a i7-870 that will run WCG 24/7 without issue, but will not start a single SMP WU without erroring out. Frustrating! Luckily I have other CPU power to rely on...

:toast:

After 4 days of steady folding, the WU being processed by the CPU failed: according to the log it was a bad workunit. I restarted the whole client, seems to be fine now, as its working on a new unit. Anything I should do about the PC?



I ment the graphics adaptor part of the chip, i dont see how that can be recognised as CPU. I'd suppose it'll be recognised as a GPU, just like in AMD's APU's, but I dont know for sure.

These things happen. Temps are the biggest thing to monitor. If they are okay, then you just had a bad WU.

Core temperature stays between 38-48C, socket temps basically 10 degrees higher, so it should be fine I guess. Thanks for the info !
 
I had two CPU WU's fail on my i7 970 yesterday. The two GPU's were working fine. Temps on my CPU are around 40C or lower as I run everything at stock...

From the official Folding@Home forum:
that Intel chip is unlikely to be supported, at least not for a while.

Support for Intel internal graphics might be included in the next FahCore release, but it isn't yet. There are lots of considerations including the cost of development, and efficiency of the Intel graphics core, etc.

Why run stock, when you can.. Overclock! and allrighty, I suppose they just contained errors in the package then.

Edit: Thanks for clearing that up for me Nasty!
 
I didn't check my rigs this morning before coming to work as I didn't have time. I would like to know what WU's the GPU's have been working on as my PPD today is already over 100,000:)
The last two days I had 74,000 and 60,000. I will have to look when I get home.
 
Damnit I only saw this now and alittle late to the game I will probably start folding tomorrow.

I currently have a i7 970 @ 4Ghz with a 6970 + 650SC in this rig.

Then my HTPC has a Operton 170 with a 4890.

probably won't get much production out of the opteron but the 4890 should be able to do something.

Any suggestions?

Sweet! :toast:

I should hit 90,000+ today with my rig thanks to some very helpful veterans here assisting me with a few tweaks :cool:

IMHO, don't even use the Opteron system. HD 4xxx and older are no longer supported.

If you have not met the 10 SMP Work Units, I suggest,for the most points for the team, Folding under the ChimPowerUp username. If that is what you want to do, let us know and someone will PM you the passkey. That way you, well the team, will get the bonus right away without having to wait 10 Work Units.
 
^ Good idea.

Can anyone decipher the stats page? Would like to know what the standings look like at the moment.
 
So awesome to see 100k ppd!! I seen myself come from the bottom and movin up.

I just want to take the time to thank all the newcomers who are helping out with the Chimp Challenge. :toast: Some of you are cranking out some awesome numbers. :D I know I speak for all the other old-timers who've been plugging along all these years. We really, really appreciate your efforts. :respect::respect::respect:
 
heh, I was folding before SMP came out. I remember running two single core clients when I first started.

On that note, why am I getting WUs on my GTX260 that say the base credit is unknown? How can it not know how much credit I get for completing the WU? Is the GTX260 now so old that F@H lacks proper support for it?

Reactions: hat
That is just great new

Congratulation to everyone :roll::roll::roll::roll:

I killed my stats switching out some gpu's between my rigs. An Nvidia GT 610 gets about 3k ppd. Never folded with that card before. :)
 
Gentlemen, I came, I saw, I tried, but didn't conquer!

I wasn't successful getting my workstation GPU (ATI v3750) to crunch, so for the last 48hrs have only been able to help with the Xeon E5472 CPU. The contribution is pathetic... but I'm there with you in spirit! And TBH I'm pleased this thread encouraged me to give it a go. I'm through the threshold!

Since I'm going out of town until July, I'll be turning the workstation off while I'm out. But I'll try again when I get back... and in the meantime, I might be lucky in finding a cheap crunching GPU on ebay. Let me know if you spot something (EU not US).

Good luck to the TPU team! :)

Thank you for giving folding a try. :toast: ATI gpu's before the 5000 series can't fold anymore. Didn't you used to fold here or on another team?
 
OK, that explains why the v3750 isn't working despite it being on the white-list. While I've been here at TPU forever, this is the first time I've loaded a folding client. So I'm new to the game! Lots to learn.
