Maybe his wife finally figured out why the electric bill is so high. :lol:


EDIT: maybe not. Just checked... He's back.

We're consistently hitting triple digits here, and will be for at least another week. Dialing things down to accommodate. One of the new boxes is also having some graphical glitching, which I still need to figure out. I get the feeling that the vidcards aren't spinning up the fans properly.

There seems to be a GPU work unit shortage, at least for my card. Haven't confirmed it on the folding forums, but I left this thing running for 44 of the last 48 hours and it's processed 4 hours' worth of folding. This morning it was on its 16th attempt, and trying #17 in 51 minutes. I'm just going to shut it off.

I also went through a GPU WU drought that lasted about 48 hours. It appears to be resolved now.

My output is significantly reduced until after the heatwave hitting the west coast subsides. Supposed to reach around 110F again today.

New CPU.



Run 3D Mark, CPU tops out at 75C.

Run Cinebench, CPU tops out at 86.7C.

Run Folding, CPU immediately hits 89C and stays there.

I think I'm going to disable the Auto OC.

Great PPD from that 5900X, but it does run hot! :eek:

Yep - I disabled the Auto OC (but PBO is on) and it's crunching at 450k - 490k PPD @ 87C, ~4.25 Ghz with GPU folding. I think it runs a few C cooler when the GPU idles but I didn't take notes so don't remember for sure. [EDIT: This is confirmed. I paused the GPU slot and it dropped to 81.5C in two minutes]

My Work Unit tally is going to look great for the day though. It's been going through them one after the other. Whatever drought was going on earlier seems to be over.

Still consistent triple digit heat. Still offline. :(

I'll have to take a few days/weeks break over the summer as well, but I'll be back. :D

New project causing single Work Unit record broken overnight (for me).

400,400 points. https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu?p=...one=208&gen=24

Would have been closer to 450k but I did pause it for an hour or two because still PC gamer.

Not sure you linked the right project, the credit was for 50K.

I think I had one of the WU you are talking about a few days ago. I got 385K points for it.

https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu?p=...one=475&gen=17

Weird... I checked my link to make sure it worked, and it did! Today it's not. And yours links back to my 50k WU :lol:

Had to manually edit the URL.

https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu?p=...one=208&gen=24

Haha, I think it's the first part of the link that counts and only the values at the end get changed when searching for a new project.

Here, this should work now.

I'm back from vacations and restarted my folding rig a few hours! :)

I had a dream that someone spoofed a WU server and my PC ended up getting ransomwared. Ever since, I haven't been as eager to fold.

Just passed 200 million points!
I see that Lupine also just crossed 100 million points!
And Team 64 just moved up one spot! :yahoo:

Just seeing this lol. Didn't realize I had a machine fired up. Thought everything was off for the summer. Guess not! :D

Its gotten colder. So you know what that means... :lol: Vega64 most of the time. When PC isn't being used, I'll throw the Threadripper on at 6 cores. (7 doesn't get many WU's, and don't want 8 as it'll slow the Vega64 down.. I've tested it..)



......:bleh:

Welcome back!:)

I see that Crawdaddy79 is back as well! :up:

And I just cracked the project top 10,000!

Hah - just temporarily. Always happy to be noticed though. :)

Going out of town for a bit, but when I get back it looks like it's back to folding. Warming up the basement for science and whatnot.

Yep.

I did have a bit of a hardware scare last week. System was folding away for however long (I rarely have time to get on the home PC anymore), then one morning last week the box was off. Hit the switch and ... nothing. Turns out the new Seasonic Focus GX-750 died quietly during the night.

Fortunately had purchased two at the time (another for a separate project, that is still waiting for a GPU :bleh: ), so was able to resolve by simply swapping the other PSU in (didn't swap cables or anything). Have always had good luck with Seasonic, so assuming its a one off.

Back Folding 24/7.

If it failed like 2 of my past 2 Seasonic's have after 5+ years of service- It was an inductor failure. No hardware taken with them.

Currently running a Seasonic X-Series 850W (KM3 revision, with the beefed up voltage regulation and 105C all Japanese caps and larger main cap)

Could be. Unit was only a few months old. I didn't bother to do any troubleshooting beyond unit swappage.

Congrats Honsy for reaching 1 billion points!

GJ Honsy. I'll join your club before the end of this decade (probably).


Check out this beefy WU. Took over a day to finish on my 5900X. Was a 205k base credit. Finished it at 509k points, nearly doubling my single WU record of 330k.

https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu?p=...&clone=1&gen=9

I have a few of those over the last 10 days.
They take about 55 hours to complete on my 3600 and I get around 460K points, good for 200ppd.

There's something I haven't seen in a while...



Good showing there BigJimJack!

Check out this PPD. 19M. Not bad. :bleh:



I paused one of these massive WUs just before it finished 95%. When I resumed it finished to 96% 26 seconds later, making the recalc ridiculous @ 26 seconds TPF when it should be about 20 minutes.

To add to this, I've been getting random restarts. Reliability history only says "Windows was not properly shut down.". Only happens when folding. I might have to stop until PC parts become freely available again.
