Big Progress in FAH Daily Production

Well I will move the GTX970 to my desktop, which should bring that to just shy of 1MPPD, my HTPC will have 2xGTX1080, and I will probably retire my 2 GTX960s. So with the retirement of 300KPPD, I'm guessing that my production will only go up by 700-800KPPD.

I despise paper launches
 
Ah okay. That makes sense then. The 980 Ti in my HTPC might be dead. Hoping it's just a driver issue, but haven't had a chance to diagnose it. If it is dead then I will most likely go with a SLI 1080 setup in it to power my 4K TV. I really need to "retire" my SLI 970 main desktop rig and transfer the three-way 980 Ti setup to it and move the SLI 970 setup upstairs. No time.
 
Looks like it was a driver or corrupt file issue. I restored Windows to a previous date and it seems to be running fine. Been out of town on vacation since Wednesday though. Judging by my points and 24H average right now I'm assuming nothing has crashed while I've been away. Thats rare to say the least.
 
Well crap. Got home today and did a quick hardware check. Seems one of the three fans on my Gigabyte Windforce 980 Ti is dead. GPU temp was sitting at 80/81C. Had to position one of my high speed delta fans on it to get them back within' a more comfortable range. Currently sitting around 63C +/- 1C.

Now debating sending the card in for RMA or just leaving it like it is. Maybe an aftermarket cooler? Any suggestions?
 
See if you can source a replacement fan - there are usually plenty for sale on crap bay, or if someone has watercooled their Gigabyte 980ti, see if they are selling their air cooler. It may be cheaper than an aftermarket cooler...
 
Good idea. Made a thread here on the forums F/S section. Hopefully someone is willing to part ways for the cost of shipping.
 
I've shut down a few of mine as well. Mostly the rigs in my living room. The dedicated folders are still going in a closed off room so the HVAC system doesn't have to work double time.
 
100% offline now. Until I move all my full time folders into a single room with it's own dedicated AC unit I have to shut them down. House is getting in triple digits and even with them closed off in separate rooms I still can't get the house to a "living" temperature. Trying to sleep when it's 90F in your room just isn't cool.

Some of you will have some time to catch me now.
 
Now since three weeks I try [H]ard to reach my 10m per week barrier with the Maxwell/Pascal couple. Missed three times ... :( I guess I need to add a little CPU slot back into action.
 
Oh, wait until I clear out the large pile of PC parts I have lying around, it may well get a couple of bigger brothers:D
 
I'm not sure what I am going to do. I leave this Friday to go out of town for work. I could be gone for two weeks or four weeks. Hell, I might be gone until the 16th of next month.

Debating leaving my rigs going while I am away and hoping for the best or just shutting them down.

Power goes out around here a lot. Not for long, normally just long enough to reboot the rigs. Sadly when they come back on I have to login to them before F@H starts working again. So if that happens at any time I'm gone they'll be just idling until I get back.

Decisions, decisions, decisions
 
In my case: TOWMBO don't want to leave the window open while I'm not around ... decision got made ...

Why not set up remote access to them? I believe as long as you use VNC or Team Viewer or LogMeIn if you don't mind paying, you won't mess up the GPU drivers like RDC does. If they are Linux, i used to use NX way back when for remote access to GPU folders - that may still work, but I have been out of the GPU DC game for years.

Speaking of which, why don't I do that as well??? :p
 
All 3 of those options have worked for me in the past. I have also used PCAnywhere (which is no longer supported by Symantec). I mostly use Team Viewer though and it hasn't ever given me any issues.

I will be working 16+ hour days. I'm not going to have time to fool around with restarting dead clients. Not to mention I am leaving Friday morning and will have to set that up on four computers, test them and so on and so forth prior to leaving.

What I should have done was bought some UPS backups for each computer to handle the "flicker" that happens every so often.
 
It took me like 2 minutes to set up Teamviewer from scratch - so you can't space 10 minutes between now and Friday morning? Bring the portable client with you on a USB drive and you could connect to all of your PCs from any PC with an Internet connection not blocking Teamviewer.

While a get 16 hour days and all, we are talking taking a couple minutes to keep an eye on things. I assume you will be checking you personal email and such anyway.

Can you tell how much I love the "I am too busy" excuses? :)

But by all means, shut them down - I'll take another month before you pass me up, if I let you... :p
 
I'm too German for TeamViewer (actually also a german company) and over-engineered my remote access via IPSec or OpenVPN on my pfSense firewall ... this way I can always access my home network any time and it use only 18W from the wall 24/7

That is the connection, but how do you interact with the F@H client/machine? I assume some flavor of VNC, which works fine with GPU folding. RDC is what screws things up, and was what I am using for the actual connection and remote access to one of my VMs and is typically what people running Windows think of first. VNC through some tunnel would also be an option, but TeamViewer is so easy to set up - i thought it was, but now I know it is since I just did it and connect to my F@H machine both from within my network and for outside of it. I do need to try it out for a GUI Linux client, but i suspect it is very similar to set up.

Again, over-engineering: i use my own iPad/iPhone app for it. Meanwhile it can also change config settings like adding/deleting slots or client types or CPU slot sizes. I hardly ever need FAHControl these days. Only for changing donor names, team and passkey.
 
Windows Remote Desktop doesn't mess up the GPU client anymore. Two of my rigs are running headless and I manage/control them via Windows Remote Desktop.

Can this be used over the Internet though? Because I don't enter an IP to connect to these rigs, but their domain name. If I can get that to work that should be easy. I'll just set it up so I can connect to my main rig and then use it to connect to the rest which is what I do now anyway, just on the local network.
 
I use TeamViewer on my Phone to connect to my PCs while at work. Awhile back worked blocked TeamViewer access (major security flaw by allowing it at all) so I just use it over 3g/4g.
 
i'm back on the horse! another mobo took a dump (3 in the space of maybe 3 or 4 years). Picked up new psu and mobo, all is well. back to F@H full steam ahead (~500k ppd).

Cool, I have another 800k turning up in the mail today as well :)

You would need to access your external IP address somehow, and then forward port 3389 in your router to the machine you want to connect to. No-IP with a dynamic DNS client will give you a static domain name to point a remote RDC client to.

Galaxy KFA 2 1080 EX OC, I've got the 1070 version of the card and it is routinely getting 700k PPD, tried in 2 different rigs, got a boot screen the first time the card went in but it hung and then it didn't do anything
