I'm getting enough MCM work on WCG to keep my machines busy. My cache setting is 2.0 days. My machines constantly poll for new work since the supply is limited.

Try changing the CMOS battery. Reset the BIOS to defaults. I had this happen to a HP pre-built once.

3770K has 16 PCI-e lanes. I would think 2 GPUs (x8) is the maximum number of GPUs you can have before the system bogs down.

Try setting the number of threads for the CPU slot to the number of P-cores (6). https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=37720

System is a Dell mid tower (MT) with original wiring. 8GB RAM, 64GB SSD and (2) opticals. It's only used for FAH or WCG. I've been moving it between projects when WCG has supply issues. What PPD were you getting running FAH? According to folding.lar.systems a GTX 1650 will get 425K on...

Looking for video card suggestions for a Dell Optiplex 990 (i7-2600). Would like to use the stock power supply (265W) if possible. I'm getting 45K PPD doing FAH CPU work. If I upgraded the power supply, how high of a card can I go before bottlenecking? Is it even worth upgrading?

Signal levels are within spec. Downstream levels are on the high side. Upstream levels are on the low side. https://forums.xfinity.com/t5/Your-Home-Network/Internet-Troubleshooting-Tips/m-p/3310447#M316652 I'd call Comcast and have them check your levels to make sure the balance between your...

What's the upstream power levels?

Does the problem happen directly connected to the modem?

Which modem? Arris S33 and Motorola MB8611 were launched 2 years ago. Both support 1.2Gbps and are supported.

Two Dell Optiplexes - 990 (i7-2600) and 7020 (i5-4590) - 80K PPD. All my FAH points are from CPU work. No GPUs. Started way back in 2007 with a few single core boxes. Stopped running FAH a long time ago. I started running FAH again during the WCG migration. I moved both machines back to...

What's your signal levels? How many splitters before the modem? What speed are you seeing? http://www.dslreports.com/faq/16085

There are several WCG team members producing 1-5 million BOINC points daily the past few weeks. How is this possible? I can't get enough work to keep my machines going due to the download issues. I haven't been able to get any new work for a couple of days. OPN1 and MCM are out of new work...

Looks like a signal issue. Channels 4, 14-15 are out of spec. SNR should be in the 40s. Channels 2-3 are offline. Have you tried power-cycling the modem?

I have a Dell Optiplex 990 with a i7-2600 running Folding@Home. May add a GPU to it soon. Main PC is a Dell Inspiron 660 with a i5-3330. Backup PC is a Dell Optiplex with a i5-4570. All machines have 8gb RAM and SSDs. They run Windows 10 fine. No problems.

Have them re-provision your modem and verify you're receiving the proper config file for 300 Mbps service. It that still doesn't work, escalate the problem to a Supervisor. This usually gets people moving. They should be able to fix this easily. This is simple stuff.

Do your Apple devices get the same speed with your router? How many splitters do you have before the modem? What are your signal levels? https://arris.secure.force.com/consumers/articles/General_FAQs/SB8200-Cable-Signal-Levels/ They may be pushing the wrong configuration file to your modem...

You must be subscribed to a low cost 25 Mbps plan. Call Spectrum again and ask them to check your current speed tier. They should be able to update your account for higher speeds over the phone.

This is a great idea! I'm kicking myself for not coming up with this. They should have no issue upgrading you to 300 Mbps since you would be using their equipment. You will likely end up paying the same price for higher speeds and a modem that's their problem if it stops working. I would...

In the meantime, call Spectrum back and ask to be increased to 100 Mbps. Tell them your modem is already on their network. It's just not functioning at the max speed they support. If they can get you to 100 Mbps and that speed works for you, then you won't need the SB8200. It's worth a shot...

Good plan. Get the modem working first. Then upgrade your router if your speeds degrade with your current router. Asus AX1800 is a solid choice. It's up to you re: SB8200 vs SB6183 ... SB8200 is overkill and expensive but more future proof. SB6183 is not expensive and will handle your...

Arris SB6183 supports up to 686 Mbps. $69 on Amazon. If budget is a concern you could go that route. Your Asus RT-N66U is going to be the bottleneck. That can be upgraded later. Sounds like you don't need high speeds anyway.

Really ... maybe the fact they don't support SB6141 for speeds higher than 100 Mbps is why they won't troubleshoot? https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/compliant-modems-spectrum-network Spectrum standard speeds are 300, 500 and 1gb. The OP is paying $74.99 for 25 Mbps. That's silly. He...

SB6141 supports up to 343 Mbps. Spectrum only allows them for speeds up to 100 Mbps. This may explain all of the disconnects you were experiencing. It sounds like they are increasing speeds for everyone and SB6141 modems are no longer allowed. It's time for a new modem and router. To handle...

Have you rebooted the modem after June 28th? If so, call them and ask them to troubleshoot why you are not getting higher speeds. You may be on a legacy plan that does not qualify for the new speeds. $75 is way too much for 25 Mbps service. Run a speed test connected directly to the modem to...

Have you tried rebooting your modem? You should be getting at least 200 Mbps. Spectrum increased all "regular internet packages" by 100 Mbps on June 28th. https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r33433340-HSI-Spectrum-to-increase-all-nominal-internet-speeds-100-mbps-6-28

Spectrum promotional rates are $49.99 for 300 Mbps, $69.99 for 500 Mbps and $89.99 for 1 Gbps for the first 12 months. https://www.spectrum.com/internet Looks like you should be getting 100 Mbps per this information...

That doesn't look right. You should be seeing at least 300 Mbps. I'd call them right now.

Call Spectrum and ask them to check your speed tier. Your account may need to be updated for their 300 Mbps plan. I have Xfinity Performance Pro (300/10). No problems with speeds using their crappy gateway. You'll need to upgrade your Asus RT-N66U router since it only supports up to 200 Mbps.
