Not sure if it's a problem with the 1660 Super or what but PPD seems way down on these WU's. Getting less than half what I was usually getting at only ~400K-ish PPD . Been considering a 4060 for power draw/performance reasons for the farm but this MSI 1660S is very quiet so it's not unwelcome...

Alrighty after another stint up North I'm back in Calgary (jeez I'm gettin' too old for this). Server went down with a CPU failure just before I left and it's a Skylake and no used Xeons or i7's available locally so I repurposed my old 3770K to the task. Wasn't the original plan but WHS2011...

And by out I mean flame-out : Server packed it in yesterday. Seems the Xeon failed, 5 BIOS beeps on startup. Had a flaky bout a couple weeks ago after a Windows update, then it corrupted the boot sector after a reboot yesterday and while troubleshooting it started the 5 beeps. Clear CMOS...

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...

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...

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...

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

Well Kyle has made a [H]uge decision and decided to change direction a bit and join Intel. Not going to slam him or anything for it, obviously its a changing world and there's alot behind the choice but I've been following the [H] since the dial-up days when OCing was in its infancy and then the...

Well my CM Hyper212+ developed a teeth clenching buzz/rattle after over 6 years 365 - 24/7 operation and the local shop had EVGA CLC120's on for $59 so i bit. Am i ever glad i did. My system (Ivy Bridge) is OC'd and crunches on BOINC projects 24/7 with heavily OC'd GPU's crunching on F@H just...

Well I actually never left but had some major hardware issues crop up in Aug just days before the SETI challenge which had me down to 1 boxen and the laptop. Everything is fixed or replaced and I just upgraded to a 1070Ti to replace a 970SSC (sold) for F@H. Still want to get a Ryzen rig but...

And a temp borg. Fixed a laptop for a friend and had BOINC running on it for a few weeks 'til he returned to town and retrieved it. Gave us a nice boost before and during the Xmas race tho :) As for the old AM3 setup it just became too much of a PIA to keep running. We're gonna lose 4 CPU...

For all you folders on NVidia cards running Win 10 get ready for the update to bork your setup. After install you'll prob get a FAH21.exe 'missing OpenCL.dll' error (repeatedly and often) and FAH will not run. It will warn you that you might need to reinstall the app but it's NOT FAH but the...

Anyone else having probs with MilkyWay? I tried to attach a HD7770 to the project a few days ago but could not get a response so I put it towards SETI instead. Yesterday I decided to bring my GTX750 over from another boxen where heat was becoming an issue and successfully started MilkyWay but...

Good: I'm back from a 2 week trip to the coast and brought more old GPU's with me. Bad: both i7 boxen and the refurb AM3 boxen crashed a few days after I left so I/we lost a fair chunk of FAH & BOINC ppd Ugly: the AM3 refurb mobo would not post. It was giving me occasional STOP124 errors b4 I...

Beekeeper: I may have just overtaken you in overall points but can't shake a stick at your WU's. I salute as I pass by (y)

Well I couldn't get that old AM3 mobo to stay stable (sucks, had 4xPCI-E slots) but the local shop had a refurb ASUS AM3+ mobo for a measly $48 so I got the Ph II quad core up and crunching on WCG. BIOS won't let me OC tho, bit of a waste for a black edition CPU, too bad. Think I might have a...

K, I'm back from the coast where I did a MAJOR cleanout of my old workshop. I turfed a huge box of old hardware out (but kept a few nostalgic pieces - voodoo1, etc.) Found an old AM3 mobo and had a PhIIX4 945 laying around so grabbed that too. Brought it back and have 2 spare 2GB sticks of DDR3...

Heading to the West Coast for beaches, beer and golf for a week. Hafta shutdown CSG on my main as the i7 can't handle the ambient heat in this oven of a house I'm renting and will reboot which will also lose Folding. The Xeon with stock cooling is fine tho so I'll leave it on both FAH/BOINC and...

gotta leave town for a few days for a visit back to the coast which means locking the place up tight. with no ventilation to my office my main and Server will overheat so I'm going to leave the GPU's running for FAH but CSG and WCG gonna take a bit of a hit. HTPC should hopefully be OK to leave...

Well my HTPC downloaded and installed this 382.05 driver by itself ( Thx Windows 10 :inpain: ) but its only got a lowly GTX750 in it right now which doesn't get a whole lot of ppd anyways so I thot I'd just check it out before rolling back or anything. While going into 3D settings / global to...

For Windows Folding it appears applying the latest Creators Update for Win 10 borks the FAH. On both my boxen an insistent error message appeared after first boot and all reboots warning that opencl.dll is missing. Shutting down the FAHClient in Task Mgr gets rid of the message but only a...

Well I was working out of town for last 5 months and haven't been following things that closely. I installed the new 381.65 driver on my main boxen as it mentions support for the new Creator's Update for Win 10. I'm not sure if it's just the last few WU's but my PPD seem lower on my GTX970 and...

Hey all, anyone using a 1050 or Ti to fold? I've still got an old 650Ti generously donated by wurmy some time ago (and it will be donated in turn to a needy guy I know who just had a bad accident) giving it the college try but most WU's take more than a day and it's not worth the power draw...

Did the driver update today. My GTX 750 errored out then stopped folding. After a restart it folded again but only at 405MHz clock speed and GPU-z reported it was also only running @ PCI-E 1.1 . The GTX 970 was unstable as well and would simply drop a WU and start another one. Rolled back to...

Don't want to rain on anyone's parades but I lost an aunt to cancer a week ago. By the time it was caught it had already metastasized into her bones and the end was swift. Her bones were breaking when the nurses were moving her into bed. Terrible end for a super nice lady who didn't deserve it...

I bit the bullet and dropped for a brand spankin' new GTX970 SSC today. Now MGMcCalley is not 'closer than he appears' in my mirror. I know I'm goin' to get mowed but the cut won't be as fast and sharp ...

Looks like there's a new GPU core out there people and it takes ppd down a notch or two. getting 80-130K ppd on my GTX 960SSC...

Anyone folding on GTX750? My old 550Ti takes over a day to fold core17/18's and it's loud in the HTPC in the living room. Heats up a little too much too ~91C, almost as much as the GTX460 which I stopped folding on. Time to save some heat/power/noise on a budget. 750Ti's are too close in price...

Well I tried BOINC a couple years ago but had trouble getting it to run on some lower end NVidia cards I had at the time, then the PC got repurposed, I moved away etc. Now after reading a post in the Formula BOINC thread I realized I have a 5 yr old HP laptop with accelerator currently sitting...

Pulled the trigger on a new GTX960 SSC today and configured new folding subdirectory. Left to its own it could not get a response from the assignment Server. Adding the -forcegpu nvidia_fermi flag got it going but it only grabs core 15 units so I'm assuming the v6 software is not pointing to the...

Well it took a fair bit of hair pulling but I finally figured out how to get my PCI-E GPU's detected on this finicky Server mobo. Slapped a GTX460 & 650Ti in it for now and set 'em to folding. Now I can chillax and head out to hoist a few in St. Patrick's honor. Cheers [H]orde !

Neither my Main nor my Server were able to pick up a WU from Stanford for a few days. Didn't see any announcement about EOL's or anything but my PC's were in storage for awhile and I wasn't following too closely up until the last 3 months. Not sure what's up but I installed V7.4.4 as a service...

Was never really gone but had my main machines offline for quite awhile. Life throws curveballs sometimes and it takes time to get re-established. Should see a bump in my PPD going forward and thinking of a shiny new GTX970. Beer and tamales all 'round ...

After hearing team Red is back in the picture with new openCL cores I went out and got a HD7770. Problem is it won't run. First I tried installing FAH v7, config'd to run GPU only and it detected GPU, d/l a core 16 and status said it was running, but progress 0% and MSI Afterburner reports 0%...

worth folding on a HD 7770? I just picked one up and wouldn't mind replacing a GTS250 with it. The 250 is a cheapo Sparkle unit with a puny fan which runs 100% while folding and the noise is getting on my nerves. any numbers out there?

Not too long ago you mowed me so fast I could hear the Doppler shift as you passed. Now it is time for me to return the favor albeit not as quickly but I'm raising the wheels to lower the blades ...

Yesterday I was ranked #71 on the team, today #72. Hmm lets just check the list ... 5.2M ppd ! OUCH ! I hope your mowing doesn't leave scars ! you're already 5 ranks ahead of me. A heads up to all those in the top 50 - there's a wicked mower coming your way ...

After upgrading myself to an i7 I repurposed my 1090T as my Home Server. The mobo is an MSI 890FXA-GD70 and has 5 PCI-E slots and I'm running WHS 2011. Plan was to continue folding smp on it and add GPU's to make it into a folding beast that wouldn't be interrupted by gaming as its mostly used...

a new heavy hitter just showed up on my threat list: CrayZ4. He's only got 2 weeks of production but at 3.9M and 3M points he's mowing the grass right off the ground! Some serious super computing power there, maybe some sysadmin testing a new cluster or something? Hopefully he sticks around...

Thanks to a generous benefactor I have added a 650Ti to the "garden". Slapped it in the workshop PC last nite and the trickle-down-effect was to put a 550Ti in the WHS box to bump a GT240 out. Problem is the 550Ti is barely getting 800 ppd more than the GT240 was getting. Runing the same...
