Well Holdolin recently screamed past me and deserves the nom but how about Coleslaw with all the gibberish after the handle [Gilthanis I'm assuming] which is also right on the breach on my threat list. Not sure if he's eligible but it's worth a mention. As an aside we've made a new deal with...

Yeah I did and was in 'ready' state for over an hour before I noticed and rebooted to fix it. Seem to have drawn P18447 with very short TPF's last few times in a row and take just over an hour to complete. Maybe a large amount of quick validations is messing up the assignment Servers handing...

Heh, I had a UPS pack it in just before the start. Had moved my Server off the battery side 'cause folding with the 2060 and 6 threads of WCG were exceeding the unit but still had a network switch and backup USB HDD on it. Didn't notice until 3 hours after the start when I decided to check...

Format is fine with me so far but as I stated in post #29 I was joining the race but due to power bills I was down for the 2 weeks prior and was waiting for the start. Just got another $470 utility bill on Jan 27 so I pared down after a day or so to just the 2060S after that but should still...

Welcome to page 1 !

Adding 2 x 2060's caused my utility bill to skyrocket in Nov-Dec and freaked my landlord out so I hadta cut back. Kept the 2060 Super running for part of Jan but have been totally down except for a few threads of WCG on the Server. I'll fire everything back up for a week on Jan 26th.

Heh heh, I created a tie ...

Hafta cut back ppd for a bit. Just got the utility bill and it was eye watering. Of course the -30C cold snap thru xmas week didn't help and I've already taken the GTX1060 offline but most of the rest will be taken down month's end. I'll restart for TAAT which is usually endish of January. Any...

damn! I broke the tie ...

Fired up HFM.net to check stats this a.m. with a cup of joe. 5 overtakes and 1 threat today and 95.1k WU's and I'm really looking forward to the 100K mark which I think is more notable than 2B pernts which can be had rather easily nowadays with a few powerful GPU's. Just out of curiosity I...

And maybe a fire extinguisher. Some issues with melting 16 pin connectors on those. Rumored NV not warrantying cards unless you're using THEIR connector seems like bull especially if you buy a new PSU with the req'd 16 pin. I dunno about these new RTX4xxx. Think I'll take a 'wait and see'

Thanks Horde. Been a few years since I last won one, even if it is by default. Nice of Ducrider to nominate me after the harsh mowing I got from him a couple weeks ago. I have kept my top 3 rigs from my small upgraded farm cranked for the last few weeks tho in an attempt to stay in top 20 for...

The 2060 while not really powerful enuff to use Raytracing , does have DLSS capability which might come in handy and stave off future upgrades for awhile. I recently picked one up and it's a noticeable improvement over the GTX 1060 it replaced.

Ya I'm aware of the VBIOS and have NVFlash and NiBiTor stored on the Server and was actually looking at it a couple days ago as I have a slightly gimped 1070Ti which I was going to see could be revived with a flash. I did check out the other 2060's while I was there and their boost clocks were...

Recently nabbed a RTX2060 from a miner then a RTX 2060 Super from a software developer. Actually paid $20 less for the Super but there's some interesting results. Both 2060's are MSI Ventus and are power locked @100% so OCing is negligible. That said the 2060 OC's a bit better than the Super...

Great. We always welcome miners back to the [Fold] ...

17 years to the month for my first 1B then less than 21 months for my 2nd : https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/id/25677 . I'm in top 20 for the team but it won't last long. Ducrider has got the mower in overdrive. Hopefully he goes over so fast I'll barely feel it.

and a case fan above the front rad just for good measure. The brackets out back - unreal. Awesome stuff and you're #1 on my threat list now. Actually there's 5 threats now which hasn't happened for awhile so looks like the [H]orde is picking up the pace overall. All good

Yah, lets have some pics of this rad-monster...

Me too. Just bought a 2060 off a miner. Thinking of reviving my old 3770K rig to put the GTX1060 that came out of the HTPC into service. Will probably do it for the TAAT challenge either way and with whatever GPU's end up whereever.

Decent choice. I'd rather wait for all the quirks to be worked out of AM5 and for DDR5 to get faster like DDR4 did before jumping on the new stuff so I wouldn't fret over your decision. As for temps I bought a 5700X a couple months ago with Artic A35 air cooler and was experiencing...

Folding @ Home also added CUDA support awhile back so you'll see great results with those RTX cards you have. I assume you keep your drivers reasonably current which is recommended for folding. I noticed an increase in points when I upgraded a driver on a lesser used machine to a newer one...

I've owned many ASUS mobo's since the late 90's and have had very few issues with them. As a matter of fact the only thing that comes to mind is an onboard soundcard which failed and would cause bluescreens until I disabled in BIOS and then continued to use the board with an add-in soundcard for...

Ya even CPU folding has changed alot. I inherited a R5-2600 a couple weeks ago from a buddy's upgrade and plopped it in the workbench mobo and threw 10 threads at it. Got over 100K ppd @ stock settings consistently for a week until I shut it off. I remember my old 1090T OC'd to 4 Ghz all core...

Indeed. Even tho I'm ahead of Ax overall and am approaching 100K WU's he's still got >60% more WU's than me. Gratz on making page 2 and top 200 !

ahh the old beige boxen. that brings back memories. look at them all and ..... alot of them have multiple optical drives - what's this? looks pretty suspicious to me. I think there was more than just folding going on ...

uhh, hopefully the wall has been repainted in the last 10 years? ... ;)

Damn. I've got a 1070Ti but it keeps erroring out before finishing a WU. It'll run desktop just fine but was crashing while gaming a year ago and PerfCap Reason in GPU-z is power limit so I guess there's a VRM issue or something. It's why I nabbed a RTX3060 in the 2 days it was available last...

We had a long cold snap here too auntjemima. Not sure what part of Canada you're in but Calgary was a bitch. Of course we got a nice chinook blow in that brought +15C for a couple days (that's 59F for you yanks) and now its settled just above zero (32-36F) this week so far. Could very well be...

yah, and I'm gonna get a harsh mowing before the challenge is over. Ouch ouch ouch ouch

HFM.net

My server running older 472 drivers as its the current Win 2008R2//Win 7 driver and its got fairly up to date CUDA and I didnt notice an appreciable change to slightly newer CUDA on my Win 10 rigs so it's staying back where it belongs. Older CUDA definitely showed a drop off for folding but...

OK Horde I've got the GTX1050 & 1060 rockin' a few hours before midnite so the WU's should drop early on the 23rd. My 3060 is uh - busy. I'm 217 turns into a strat game and I just... can"t... stop... It's only using 65% GPU so I'll add some light folding until i can't stay awake then I'll...

I gave ya the like but you're coming up on me fast. My best rigs are off FAH until the challenge for utility bills reasons unless things suddenly pick up. If things finally do I'll be more of a presence on FAH and BOINC again. Thx for all the help

This might be worth exploring. My LHR 3060 gets over 3mil PPD on most projects on my R3600 with only WUProp running on CPU currently. It is OC'd with 120% pwr limit, +130 core and +1100 mem but folding doesn't get the clocks as high as gaming. OC'd or not you might be leaving PPD on the table.

Well I mowed over dalenchm0b for #27 on the team but my l'il end of the month/xmas run has extended far enough, not looking forward to the utility billl. I'm gonna hafta scale back to just the Server with 6 threads on BOINC and GTX1050 FAH. I'll fire up the GPUs for the TAAT challenge on the...

And I noticed a boost on my GTX1060 last week when I updated a year old driver to newer one with Cuda 11.4 vs the older 11.1 . YMMV

Digging around looky what I found. Happy New Year Horde!

Nice to hear from ya Agent_N. Its been awhile since someone brought a mowing meme out of the closet! I'll be mowing dalenchm0b in about a week at current folding rate. Maybe 'trimming' would be more appropriate? The pace slows down once in top 30 territory.
