If you want to stick with Ubiquiti, I have a USG that I'm not using. I can send it to you if you cover shipping costs.

Windows. Current WU is P17745.

I'd hope so! My stock gtx960 is doing around 300k right now!

Do we have NSFW tags on the forums? Or spoiler tags? That image should not be shown without proper warning! Ouch!

I ordered some more parts for the folding rig last night. I plan to order a Spotswood case soon. Then I'll just need to acquire another card (or two). Another Super Flower Leadex Titanium 1000w: A PSU daisy chain adapter for using two PSUs in one system (per @BWG this one will work): Two PCIe 4.0 x16 riser cables (also per @BWG this was the one to get):

Unless I'm missing something, that 12 hours that is shown is to complete the last 39.84% of the current work unit. That would put the total time for this work unit at about 30.5 hours. Still seems like an improvement over what you had before!

Have you used this method to fix the hang after rdp disconnects? I wouldn't expect this to help, but I could be wrong. Either way, those commands are useful to have.

It does something so the current WU will finish but the next won't start after you disconnect RDP. I found that as long as an RDP session is active, folding will work fine. I can't reliably keep an RDP connection from my desktop to one of my Windows folding systems. I've worked around this by using a third system that can keep a reliable connection. The third system RDPs into the folding system. I can then RDP into the third system and connect/disconnect as needed. As long as the third system keeps the RDP session active, then folding will continue. I believe this is the same solution that @pioneerisloud is using. @BWG mentioned that using a dummy plug in one of the graphics ports might work around the issue as well (I don't have a monitor connected to the folding system).

This is the team thread for rat's nest. Current Team Roster @firedfly (captain) - NVIDIA | Quadro P620 @pioneerisloud - AMD | RX 580 @Cerberus - Wildcard | GTX 980

We moved last year and were able to get AT&T Gigabit Fiber at the new house! I'm happy to be rid of Comcast.

I spoke with @BWG this morning. He has me slated to replace @Avacado --at least for August.

@Avacado What's your status with the ETF? Were you able to get a card running?

I gave you one! Good luck on joining the club

Vast.ai is the cheapest I've found. Individuals (or companies) will offer their GPUs to be rented out. Pricing varies somewhat based on who owns the hardware and what hardware you are renting. For the 4x3090 system that I mentioned, it was $2/hr. I plan to make a post in the next few weeks with more details on how to get a Vast.ai instance folding and monitored by HFM. It's not cheap for long term folding, but is quite handy at defeating @BWG and @Bastiaan_NL during the 2 days of the competition

Time to pay up!

Success! Thanks for the quick turn around @ENTERPRISE.

It must be cold in Russia this time of year. I rented a 4x3090 system in Russia and the GPUs have stayed about 55C the whole time!

I set a user status for myself yesterday. Today I tried to clear the status to become status-less again. When I try to save an empty status string, I get an error that the new status must be at least 5 characters long. I'm able to set a new user status successfully--I just can't go back to not having a status. Is there another way to clear the status?

@tictoc I'm trying to make good on my promise...

Starts in a little under 3 hours. This link (from the OP) looks correct for the countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20210721T21&p0=5527&msg=July+EHW+Foldathon&font=sanserif&csz=1 I can see the confusion on when the comp starts. I want to blame @BWG, but he'd remind me that it's Canada's fault!

Sounds like I started a few years prior. I don't think GPU folding was a thing then. I think I was folding on Core 2 Duo era hardware. Perhaps before that?

I'm on my third round of folding 24/7, stopping for a few years and folding again. My first time with dedicated hardware I put up 1000 work units for a hair over 1 million points! Top that!

I'll be passing you today

A Hardfolding team would be fine with me.
