When you can get it up and running, feel free to post up some pics of it :D :D We are not posting enough pics I think!! I'll have to get a few re-done and put up!! Bad captain, bad captain!! :(
i will. it was a rx radeon set up
 
my multi gpu rig for folding. is not turning on correctly. after a 2 hour black out...
try unpluging the PSU for 30 mins then plug it back in, it may have gone into a protection mode when the blackout happened
 
i used 2 different psu and only running 1 gpu (video out one) still same issue.
already try that what you mention.

Any chance you could try another setup? Test rig at all?

am testing all the gpus tonight.
the board etc parts. i dont ave any other system to test those on.
 
Due to the heat wave here in California and the power company's request to use less electricity, I won't be folding for a few days. :(

Did you ever get to the bottom of this and massive apologies I never replied to this sooner!! :( :(

How hot is it getting over there @NastyHabits ?? I've never heard of a power company asking people to use less.... Are you guys short on power too??

@phill 43C and up. It won't be that hot where I live because I'm near the coast. But there is only one power company for all of Northern California. While certain areas, like the central valley, are always hot in the summer, the rest of the state, normally cooler, will be much hotter than usual. People who rarely, if ever, use A/C will be running it. The power grid was not designed for the kind usage of due to the temps we see since climate change.

its a odd bios issue or dead board. that how far a narrow it done. all gpu work and psu to. so for delayed posting on it
 
The outrageous never seen before heat wave and it's drain on the power-grid here in California is now over. Thank goodness! I am back folding for science and TPU. :lovetpu:
 
I hope it's a heck of a lot cooler and cheaper to get things done over there mate!! :) Glad to have you back :)

@phill It's back to normal, but it was frightening. Way hotter for way longer than I remember it ever being before. New all time records all over California.

BTW: Good luck and my sympathies to all in GB as you say goodbye to Queen Elizabeth and hello to King Charles.
 
Its amazing the transformation with the weather, sometimes you don't have take it for granted.. Its usually warm around the summer months but not 40C+ here.. How we are short of water I've no idea with the amount that has recently dropped here... Recently put up a DIY water butt and that thing has been brimmed a few times now.. That's like 200 to 250 litres from a 12 x 8 garden shed!! What the heck the house would have managed to capture and then looking at all the houses... How the heck are we out of water??! lol It boggles my little mind :)
 
Right: So rather than pollute the Tech Purchase thread with my musings on my new 1070 ti and various other rig-related folding chatter, I'd put it here.

EVGA's B-Stock page had what I felt was a pretty good price on a 1070 ti SC. Which was somewhat surprising since B-Stock has been bonkers w.r.t. GPU pricing, particularly in light of the Merge fallout. Anyway, it's supposedly around 10% faster than my next-fastest card, a 3050 (at the expense of 50 more W of TBP. :-/ ). Early indications suggest about 1.5M ppd at a reported 140-150W, compared to the 3050's 1.2M (albeit with an underclock for fan noise reasons). That's proabably at 120W reported? Don't remember. It's out on the workbench right now, and will hypothetically be back on the job this evening.

Had the RX 470 back on the job for a bit, and it's producing less than I remember. Thought it was pulling just about .5M, but it's now at around .4M; there may have been an overclock in the past that I've forgotten about. The cooler on the that card (Sapphire 8GB mining edition w/DVI) is way overspec'ed. Push it to an unstable OC and it still won't hit 70C. Great little card; it'll be back in the spicenumber mines soon enough.

Need to (want to? should?) do some tuning/checking on the 1060 in the living room rig. That one's kind of a "bonus" cruncher, as its host is hooked up to the living room TV and doesn't get as much attention as more easily accessible machines. I think this is where the 3050 will end up.

Winter is coming(tm), and throwing Joules into the living space is no longer a concern. Electrically-generated heat costs more than gas (unless one has a heat pump), but that's a differential I'm willing to accept. 3M+ ppd, here I come. :rockout:
 
I have found my 1080 TI's to be getting a little slower in the crunching world now, which is a shame. Both my 3070s seem to be producing some great results but the work units are getting much longer so I'm trying to be a little careful with the times they have on them simply because electric here isn't cheap at all and I can burn through a few kW's in an hour without an issue without the solar or remembering to turn things off lol :) If it was a little cheaper I'd not mind so much but sadly at nearly 3 times the price, I'm just trying to be careful :)

@phill I also cut back a little bit. The power company has been transitioning to solar. Also the ongoing drought has limited the amount of hydor power they can generate in the evening. In order to encourage people to use less, they've raised the rates from 4-9 PM and lowered rates at other times. Therefore I turn off my dedicated FAH and WCG PC during the evening.

Winters coming. ....


Sooo, I'll be back folding soon :).
 
Guys and gals I have a small update for everyone I'll put in the WCG forum for a give away I'm going to be doing for FAH WCG and Rosetta members - Only real requirement is that you'll need to be an active member and preferably live in the UK for postage or collection (whichever is best and easiest for you!!) and we'll see how it goes.. I'm not sure if any of the kit I'm giving away is going to be of any use to anyone, but hopefully it will be!! :D

EDIT - A linky for anyone interested :D

Apologies guys, with everything going on, not had chance to get the updates on and with Isabelle having to have gone back today, not really been in a great mood either....

But, Merry Christmas!! And I'll try and get the posts updated tomorrow before I have to leave for meal out with the bosses family... Take care everyone!! Hope you are all doing well and looking forward to the holidays!!
 
very late reply. but all gpus do work.
Board is dead.
am debating on replace it. seeing if i do.
i will need to buy a new cpu,ram .
 
Long time no hear- my apologies to everyone.

The man is here!! :D :D Hey @Norton !! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :rockout::rockout::rockout::rockout::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect:
 
Hello folks! We are having a giveaway in Kreij's memory and all are welcome to participant if you meet the minimum criteria and it's open to TPU's WCG/F@H team members. If interested, head on over here
 
Dear god how do you guys deal with the heat? Have my heat vent blocked, my window open and it's around 0c outside. I stopped the rx570 from folding, now
just my 2699 going at it. It's heating up my room to almost uncomfortable levels. Wow. Just one cpu. I might still at some point try 2 cards and 1 cpu at least....

A 1060 and 11700K is what keeps my bedroom livable. The 1070 ti and 5600G in the office don't quite do the job. Over in the living room, 3050+9700K doesn't even make a dent. But winter's more like -10C here, and can easily hit -30C.
