I considered an alternate title: When people outside say "brr", the GPUs inside go "BRRRRRRRRRR"

I'm watching my GTX 1080 completely consume a core of my Ryzen 5 3600, and I'm thinking, I've been seeing this same behavior for years. It seems like every GPU has always taken 100% of a full CPU core of every CPU I've owned. Has anybody benchmarked CPU speed to see if CPU speed could bottleneck...

It hasn't crunched in quite a while, but I don't know any reason why it wouldn't. 4X Opteron 6172 (2.1Ghz, 12 core) Tyan S8812 motherboard 16x1GB DDR3 Motherboard benching tray from Spotswood 4X Noctua CPU coolers (quiet) 32GB SSD Basically, this will have everything you need minus a...

I like mine with a lime please I heard about the availability of the COVID19 WUs and figured I'd toss a couple boxen at the problem. It's been too long since I've heard the whir of the fans spinning up other than gaming. Edit. My GPUs are idle. I guess the well of WUs is dry at the moment.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Gaming with an i5 and a Toshiba XG5 256GB NVME SSD. The PC is basically new, and out of the box, performance is sluggish. It seems to hang at odd times (5 seconds to open Chrome, for example), but it's erratic (at other times, Chrome loads instantly). To me...

Hey guys. Been a while. I loaded up the Windows FAH client and I’m getting around 500-600k PPD. Is that an optimized production level? Are there other projects I should be supporting instead? I also have the old opteron 48 core beast in the basement. Is there anything worth doing with...

The house was getting a little cool so I figured it would be a good time to throw a few rigs at F@H again. It won't be much, but probably enough to put me in the top 15 or so PPD wise. So, what have I missed? Who's this grandma I'm looking up at?!? That's embarrassing. What's this I hear...

I have a GTX 980 that seems to be alternating between 80,000 PPD and 275,000 PPD. Is this WU dependent? I have tried rebooting, the GPU clock seems to be consistent, it's putting out a lot of heat. So, everything seems good except for the PPD...

Although, I think they might only be shipping to Germany at this point.... The idea is to put server lockers in people's homes and businesses. From what I understand, the property owner would pay to have the server installed in the home/business, but then the company would pay for the ongoing...

Apparently this is old news but if it has been discussed here before I missed it. Has anybody tried this? I found an app made by HTC but supports a wide range of modern Android devices. It supports a variety of familiar DC projects including WCG...

Nothing really to see here. I just wanted to do a quick happy dance to celebrate my (likely brief) return to the top 20 PPD list. It's been a long time since I've been here....too many high powered mowers around here these days.

I'm running bigadv folding within virtualbox on my sr2. It works pretty well…I get about 150k ppd from dual hex cores at 3.5ghz. However, the problem comes because I'm trying to also fold on a gtx 580 using the v7 fahcontrol client. Even though, for some reason, virtualbox is only able to use...

I'm running at 1900x1200 with all options on ultra. Msi afterburner reports my framerste is basically locked at 60 fps, but mouse movement is incredibly jittery. Running in a straight direction is totally smooth, but moving the mouse creates nausea-inducing stutter. Ive tried with vsync on...

So, I'm using the v7 client, and I have the "client-type" set to "beta" for two GTX470 GPU slots. The problem is, I'm trying to fold on the 2600K as well, but I think it's preventing the GPU cores from getting the CPU time they need. I've heard some people mention setting some...

I am apparently out of the loop. Word on the street is that qrb is back in public beta. What is the ppd? I also heard AMD cards are viable again. I would love to switch back. Tell me everything.

On sandy bridge/ivy bridge, what kind of ppd difference does HT make? Anybody done any clock for clock comparisons recently? Microcenter only has mobo combo deals with the 3570k right now, not the 3770k, so the 3570 end up being drastically cheaper.

I noticed today that the Xeon E5 2660 is selling for $350-$400 apiece if you buy a spicy variant or scoop up a good deal on an ebay auction. This cpu is an 8 core, 16 thread, 2.2ghz nominal, 3ghz max turbo, 20M cache, 95W CPU. I also noticed that Supermicro dual 2011 boards can be found as low...

I was running into an issue on my new HP Envy 15 with an i7 3720QM (2.6ghz up to 3.6ghz turbo). When I was folding, I was only getting 5-10k PPD. I noticed the clock speed was dropping all the way down to 1.8ghz when folding according to CPUz. Then I found a recommendation to use...

I just got an Ivy Bridge laptop with a quad core i7. It folds most of the time around 3.3ghz. I installed the v7 client and pushed start, and it looks like I'm getting between 5k and 10k PPD depending on the WU. Is there a way to increase PPD beyond those numbers? Stick a Linux VM on there?

For Linux noobs like me: Tobit educated me a little on this. A compiler optimization isn't the same as a patch. In order to take advantage of a compiler optimization, we need to have the source code for the app, then compile the app using the new compiler. In other words, compiler optimization...
