I will be out of town and without internet access for a good portion of this month. 980 is chugging along, and unless there is an extended power outage, it should just keep on folding. I dialed the clocks back a few clicks before the start of the month, and it has been stable with zero errors for the last few days.

You are the lone non-Polaris GPU. It is still fairly tight in that Cat, and there's lots of time to make a move. Are you running a 5700 or a 5700XT? I thought it was a 5700, but the stats site lists it as a 5700XT.

What does the log look like around that time? Maybe an unstable OC? From the two screenshots it looks like it went back a few steps after that crazy high tpf/ppd at 34%.

That's hilarious. As long as it's crushing souls for the Foldaholics there is no cheese.

Nice work this month team. My ppd dropped a bit yesterday. I was trying to push the 980 a bit further on air, and had a few errors. Dropped the clocks back down a bit for now for stability, and I might throw the GPU back on my other test bench so I can run it under water.

I'm in Linux, so not sure what the Windows equivalent would be. For monitoring folding I monitor the log for "nan" which will catch all nan errors, and is useful if you are running the GPU right at the edge of stability. I also monitor and alert for GPU errors, but I have no idea how that would work on windows. For anyone running AMD on Linux (with SystemD) here's a few commands to parse the journal for folding and GPU errors: $ journalctl -b0 -u foldingathome -g nan $ journalctl -p3 -b0 -g amdgpu

Is the USB error a windows error, or do you get the error at post? If you can get into the BIOS try disabling the USB ports one by one and see if the error goes away. One of the controllers might have just bit the dust.

Nice work @BWG.

I have no chance of catching back up, but I am enjoying watching you climb to the top.

You should be able to boot from a Windows iso and fix it with Start Up Repair.

The K5000's were pretty were intersting GPUs. It's a full GK104 die, but it's just down-clocked to hit low TDP numbers. I got to play with a few of them back in 2013. The lack of dp killed them for our project, but they are pretty boss for this comp. Most of the K5000s are good chips, so the OC potential is really high.

I'm guessing you sorted this out. We are moving right up the ranks thanks to that K5000.

Brake and clutch pedal pads for the old beast.

If you want to keep it on the inexpensive side, just use barb fittings with clamps, or even zip ties, with how low the pressure is on PC water cooling loops. Many modern day water cooling components are just pretty garbage that's priced high, since it's a "premium" hobby. Personally, I like monsoon free center fittings, since I have found the barb side to be slightly overbore and/or the collar to be underbore. They also have a double barb which helps to ensure that the tube is properly compressed against the fitting. This makes them harder to snug all the way down on most EPDM or ZMT tubing, but in the many fittings I've installed (many hundreds at this stage) I've never had one leak.

Glad you didn't wash away in the floods. No worries on the downtime. I know how it goes with mother nature. You can pretty much count me out for at least a few weeks every winter, since I'll inevitably lose internet and/or power for extended periods of time. Good to see those GPUs up and running.

Totally off topic, but have you tried running your powershell scripts natively in Linux? I messed around with powershell on Linux a year or two ago. It broke my brain a little bit to run PS in my terminal. Forget that we're already parsing ls and look at the slash horror. PS /home/tictoc> dir \var\log | ls -al /var/log | grep "log" > /home\tictoc/logfiles.txt PS /home/tictoc> type \home/tictoc\logfiles.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 root utmp 292292 Jul 30 13:44 lastlog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1071994 Aug 18 17:08 pacman.log -rw------- 1 root root 64064 Aug 19 2020 tallylog -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 63010 Aug 18 17:08 Xorg.0.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 158720 Aug 17 16:30 Xorg.0.log.old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6704 Feb 8 2021 Xorg.1.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6704 Feb 8 2021 Xorg.1.log.old Despite the fact that this is utter madness, it does work. I never tried running any scripts.

Not sure if anyone else runs HFM in Linux, but it once again works on Linux through mono. I haven't messed around trying to rebuild it so it will run "natively" in Linux, but running the latest release through mono works without a hitch. It can also be ran in WINE, but I don't think the Web Generation will work when running it in WINE.

I don't even mess with FAHControl. They are doing a rewrite to get rid of the python2 dependencies, and I imagine it will be ready by the next client release.

Sorry, I skipped over the log section before replying. The PTX error is indicative of an older CUDA version. For Windows I think you need 456.xx or newer drivers for compatibility with CUDA 11, and the latest fahcore.

First thing I would do is ditch the Quadro drivers, and see if the regular drivers pick up both cards. I'm pretty sure that you can only initialize one NVIDIA driver at a time without creating conflicts. There is not really anything in the Quadro drivers that will accelerate F@H, compared to the regular GeForce drivers.

Thanks. I am must have been pulling all my work from that one server, and I didin't notice points go missing for anyone else so assumed it was something on my end.

I seem to have come out the other side of whatever black hole I was folding into. Earlier today I had a 27.6M (3.3M actual) update on the 980, or about 3+ days worth of folding on that GPU. Not sure what actually happened, since it doesn't look like anyone else had the same thing going on. My logs showed zero upload errors, and other than no stats registering, everything looked fine.

Nice to see you around these parts nova. In Q_Cruncher

It is Compute 3.0 capable, but do you know which version of CUDA is installed? If it's the latest driver (R470 U3 - 471.68), then it should be CUDA 11.4, and that should work with the new core that was released yesterday.
