Let your captain know if you run into any issues again so he can do a temporary substitution for you to keep the points rolling. Life happens, things break, ect, so no worries.

I can send you a low power card to keep you going. On hand I have a GT 730, and a W4100. The W4100 can overclock near +100% but needs a water block to run it that high. The GT 730 will also OC some. Both are low profile cards that can be fitted with full height brackets, which I think I have. Neither will heat your house up, as they are slot powered, low TDP cards. The W4100 just has a terrible stock cooler only meant to run at stock, but that's only half of its capability for folding. Also pretty much no aftermarket coolers fit the damn thing without cutting them to pieces. It's a great ETF card though because the handicap is so high, and you could glue or strap like an old 120mm AIO to it and it would be fine. PM me if you want either. Probably costs less than $10 to ship, otherwise freebies.

Yeah it could be something simple like he has the wrong folding key on that slot.

Congrats everyone. Thank you for participating. I had some hardware problems on my main rig with the 2700x and vega64 constantly crashing or I would have pumped out more a few more wus. I think that freebie 2700x might be a dud since it seems to crash at stock settings when folding. I ended up having to dial in constant clocks and extra voltage to get it to finish the last wus. It just runs hot as hell even under water so probably a very high leakage low quality silicon.

What's going on with you guys? I see @Hacksword has zero points this month. If you need a card, I have a few low power cards I can spare for your team that have good handicaps and overclock very well. Freebies, just pay the shipping.

I'm going to have to shut down after the foldathon is finished. I have some maintenance that needs done and it's going to take longer than the 2 free days allotted. The foldathon has exposed some problems, so I'm going to have to do some tweaking and also some cleaning. I should be back up by the 3rd of March though.

Ok I chatted with axipher. He's going to make this happen for 26th-27th.

I was happy to see the electrical schematic, but my soldering days are way behind me. I don't have the steady hands I used to as a teenager and my 20s.

I was telling my wife and my friends about your situation when we were all discussing the news. We all hope that you make it back to your home safely. I hate that there is a refugee crisis caused by the whims of old men. We're all looking forward to any progress you make on your project.

Hah I went jogging anyway even though it's like 100% humidity, 85F, and looking crazy tornadoey outside. At least it's not a snow storm like much of the rest of the country this week. But seriously it's really gross out and feels like summer in February today.

We're having some crazy warm weather and with that some weird storms tonight. We just had a brown-out that took down 3 of my machines, including my ETF machine and Michele's ETF machine. I'm going to keep them shut down until I feel confident that the situation is over, which might be tomorrow. Hopefully I do not lose any work units, but I think that they will be fine.

This is awesome international crowd in this thread. I love it.

@axipher Can we try for the 26th and 27th?

Wow I didn't really know what Huntington's was until I just read up on it. Says it affects you at a pretty young age too. I'm glad you found it early, and I hope there will soon be better treatments. Now I understand your passion for keeping our team together.

Interested in your own f@h story when you get time, E.

The title says it all. How did you come about participating in folding@home? For me, I had some curiosity back when I had first joined some of the old overclocking forums back in the day. My buddy @neurotix always told me that folding was the ultimate stability test. So I messed around with it from time to time, but never anything serious until last year when @BWG began looking for testers for the new ETF league here at extremehw. I saw the ETF league as an opportunity to sharpen my overclocking skills, and I had many bumps along the road as I learned that the ETF league was more about endurance than just raw speed. I learned so much from the veterans here, and especially my first team, Out of Beta, that eventually I decided it was time to create my own team, hoping to expand the league a little bit more. Plus, one of my best childhood friends, @JosephStewartPE got very curious about my folding test benches, and I was able to recruit him to my team after we built him a PC. Now I have at least 3 clients folding in our home at any given time. I have my ETF test bench currently running a disappointing Quadro M2000 overclocked darn near +90%, Michele has her GTX 750 overclocked about +40%, and whatever card I'm testing on my extra slot on my main bench. I mostly try and fold on very light power cards, but sometimes I also fold on my Vega64 to help heat the home on cold winter days What about the rest of you?

You still doing dry ice and stuff?

I bet we could find a proper AM2 or AM2+ board to overclock that Brisbane. I think I had the 5400+ version back in like 2007.

Well, I left the voltages unchanged because I was worried about the already many frequent power spikes of up to 120W on the PCIE slot. I figured adding voltage to get another 100MHz would be asking for trouble. I might explore this trouble at a later date though. Things seem healthy enough right now with 65-70W average and the 120W spikes. I'm guessing that normally the clocks would be throttling often to stay under 75W if I had not raised the power limits. The card is under water with sinks on chips and fans flowing on both sides of the card. It stays like 25C while folding, which is great.

Yeah I should probably DDU and install new drivers. Sometimes I swap hardware around so much I forget, and if it works I probably just left it alone. I'm wondering now if it's actually running on Geforce drivers instead of Quadro...could be the issue...

So glad to hear from you. Glad your immediate family circle is doing well and sorry to hear about the others. Michele and I got sick like right on Christmas for a few days, but luckily it wasn't that severe. The kids got it a couple weeks later, but also not too bad. We've been having meetings with the boss E on how to pick up the folding slack. It might take like 5 of us to somewhat mitigate what you can do by yourself, but I'm pretty sure a good plan is coming in to place. Stay well, and try and de-stress when you can.

Firedfly just showed me how to check that this week, go figure. I'll pay close attention, but is there anything to do if I do see it switch to OpenCL?

What I don't understand is why @mmcdonald12 is still beating me on daily points. She's running a GTX 750, with fewer maxwell cores and about 75MHz slower overclock than the M2000 I'm running. She's killing me in handicap points, but what's more alarming to me is that she's also beating me in real PPD. Is it that the servers are giving her better WUs? We're both set to random WUs, no preference. Edit:I noticed she has a small VRAM overclock. I thought that didn't do anything for folding?
