TPU's F@H Team

[hertz9753]

I'm here to stay and help the TPU folding team and I hope you don't mind.

One of the things that I have noticed in the years that I have folded is the folders that put up big numbers don't make many posts.

This is a team and we need to post and talk more. Ask questions and I might give a silly answer with the right one in the reply or ask somebody that can help you.

If you don't post or talk people lose interest. I remember when the PS3 came out and you could get 1,000 PPD with it. Mine died with about 600K.

I remember when I first started folding back in 08', if you had a Core2 Quad(Q6600) you could run 2 instances of SMP simultaneously for up to 5000 PPD combined! You had to run core affinity's to keep the instances from bouncing around the cores and to keep the CPU @ 100%. Ah, the good ol' days.

The reason i left

you people seem to care more about people(old time tech folders) that come back .
new folders, what is that

 

[PP Mguire]

Who really cares either way? I think it's taken out of context and the real goal is lost behind the #s.

Think my first card I folded on was a GTX580 then I jumped to a used GTX590 (Talk about a heater).
Then went from that to a used 680 to my first Titan (traded the 680 with cash for it). Yep, the majority of my cards are used. And I rock them hard. Heck, the only thing I bought brand new was my PSU, the case, RAM, and the water cooling.

Current army of used cards:
960 FTW
970 Turbo
980 STRIX
First gen old Titans x2 (retiring them soon)
Soon to be 2x 980Tis

I use to have a BFG 275, wish I kept it. Was a great backup card if I had to RMA a card.
Somehow I managed to kill a Titan, thank goodness for warranties.

When you say retire, what do you plan to do with them?

You sure about that? I have to strongly disagree with you. We might be somewhat of a tight knit community, but it's no good ole boy's club. I've seen this community (not just folders/WCGers) donate their own shit to others time and time again, and jump in to help even people that seem to be lucky to be able to find the power on button.

Of course an older member is going to have more recognition, though. Would you have the same type of conversation with an old friend you hadn't seen in years and somebody you just met? Likely not.

I remember running dual single core clients on my old overclocked A64x2 5200+. Eventually I started running SMP, and then the GPU clients came along and I (along with seemingly everyone else) picked up a 9600GSO. Folding tech has advanced so far now though I'm pretty much throwing a stick at a brick wall with a 660ti... and it eats up a CPU core now too. I pretty much stay on WCG. If I had the opportunity though I'd have a killer folding rig... if I ever return from lala land you pie eaters better watch out

...But you still come back to complain? Apparently we made a better impression on you than you are giving us credit for. We will not tolerate trolling, so please be constructive with the posts you make.

It may have been multi single core clients. Thanks for remembering my friend!

You have 152 thanks, which is more than twice as many thanks as you have posts. How can you think that people didn't care?

Hmm... as far as I know SMP would eat whatever threads you threw at it, so running two instances of SMP wouldn't really make sense. Unless it was only dual threaded way back in the early days...

When you say retire, what do you plan to do with them?

Plan to sell them off to re coop some of the money for buying the two 980Tis that are taking their place in the main rig.

Both have full EK copper blocks and back plates, fujipoly extreme pads on them. Never ran dye, only Mayhems XT-1 clear with distilled. They stay a under 45C in my loop if I have both going full load folding and the CPU doing some BOINCing on occasion.


This when only one is folding and CPU doing some BOINCing.

Nice post @hat. I believe that we are more interested in finding a cure for cancer than anything else. People here spend thousands of dollars for hardware and energy to run them, I would think first off you would thank them @The Foldinator. If you want to be included then jump in. We try to help everyone we can. Friendships are developed here and I think that is awesome but you have to be deserving of that friendship. Oh btw everyone here was new at some point. Some grew some didnt but we all appreciate the effort they gave.

Oi mate that sounds naughty like those temps.

 

[Ithanul]

Heck, I love my temps. Hope the 980Tis do well. They suppose to show up tomorrow afternoon. Not sure if they have fujiploys pads on them. Probably going to take their blocks off to check and do the TIM like I prefer to do on any GPU. Carefully spread thin fully on the die. Seriously, I take several minutes in just that alone.

Room temp be at 23.3C while water temps be at 32.2C. Which is only like a 8.9C difference. Think the 360 HWlab black ice and the huge 200mm rad keep all 2gal worth of distilled cooled down. Still got plans to mod a 915F to use as a pedestal and add two more 360 black ices if I can.

But first need to get water block for the 3930k and move the folder onto it. Got enough rads to mess around with. Think got like 3x 360 rads, 240 rad, and 2x 120s sitting around atm.

My favorite modification I did to my Haf X.
Allows me to remove the radiator out while attached to the bracket.

Mock up of mod that I plan to get around to.

http://fah-web.stanford.edu seems to be down and so are the servers that I check. Going from 16 TFLOPS to 26 in a few days killed them.

Edit: Back up but uploading is a pest. Lost one 9413 due to that, I think.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

I've been running my client and work units all in a ramdrive for a few months now and I think its helped a bit(not loads obv) ,has anyone else tried this??

No. But if you have plenty of ram and a old HD it might improve performance. I got zero RAM left when I get a 10494 and run 10 WCG units and have been running Firefox for a longer time.

 

[DarthBaggins]

Just found a steal of a deal for a MSi 960 Anniversary edition, think I'll be picking it up this weekend

All GPUs must come to me for testing. You know the rule.

 

[DarthBaggins]

it'll match the c70 case color too lol

 

[hertz9753]

I also did somes mods on my cases. I took the side panels off.

 

[DarthBaggins]

I swapped out some of my SP120's for my PWM Delta 120's, full load I cruise at 40c on the 5930k and 32 on the 970
So can't wait to play with this 960

All you need is to get some internet installed at your house. Darth won't tell you but he is standing out in the street using his neibors wi-fi right now.

That might explain why my wcg client failed on a 10 gig ramdrive it never looked full but ,,thanks ill look into it I've 32 GB installed so I can spare more then ten.

Is say foldinator might have a point, some of us are a bit quiter ,perhaps too quite.
