Ubuntu Stress test for whole system - Recomendation Please...

If I helped you, thank me lol. Hit that button. Here's hoping you work something out. -

Ok, sorry I misunderstood that. My bad. -

I am not sure I can help with your setup. A user here named keeph8n had a Asus Sage board but Intel, and also had two 4090s in it, and experienced the same issues with PCI in Windows as well as Ubuntu. He was having trouble getting more than one GPU recognized and folding. I suggest trying to install f@h again, it should be as simple as installing a .deb package with gdebi, then entering your username, team and key. It will install as a system service and run in the background, by default it will fold on your CPU not GPU. To make it fold on (one) GPU and not your CPU, add or change the CPU slot in /etc/fahclient/config.xml: <slot id='1' type='GPU'> <pci-bus v='1'/> <pci-slot v='0'/> </slot> Replace your CPU slot with that. However, you will need to open a root file browser, or use Ubuntu's text editor to open and change it. For me the terminal command is: sudo xed /etc/fahclient/config.xml. However, this will only add one GPU and I'm not sure how you add others like if you just change the PCI slot to '1' to add your second card and add it as another slot. nvidia-smi might help and you can use that to check and see if both cards are working or not. Also, this all depends on you having actual Nvidia drivers installed, which you should be able to do through the GUI. You need 525 or 535. You are also going to need to look into changing coolbits for each card for fan control through the Nvidia X Server Settings. After you change your GPU slots, reboot for the change to take, then go to in a web browser: http://127.0.0.1:7396/ to see your GPU slots and control them. (If all goes well.) Also, I might recommend installing Linux Mint Cinnamon edition as opposed to mainline Ubuntu. Mainline Ubuntu is pretty clogged/bloated and is less than ideal. Linux Mint might pick up both your GPUs, and just go to Driver Manager to choose the Nvidia 525 drivers instead of the open source Nouveau (which you cannot fold on). Linux Mint Cinnamon edition is also wayyy more user-friendly than mainline Ubuntu and works essentially like Windows does, with a taskbar on the bottom, start menu, and icons to the right of it that you click on to multitask. Hope this helps. EDIT: make your first priority getting the Nvidia closed source drivers installed and coolbits set for fan control. Check nvidia-smi in a terminal to make sure both cards are present. (Just type nvidia-smi and hit enter) -

I don't see why, he made a thread clearly labeled Ubuntu under the software section. Unless you think he'd get more help there or something. -

No problem. Just make sure you can cool CPU+GPU folding at the same time. I have a monster RTX 4090 overclocked and just that running causes my CPU socket and CPU to heat up to between 52C~67C. I have no idea how hot it would get running folding on the CPU as well- probably in the 90s and it would downclock my CPU anyway making it pointless. You can also try Unix Bytebench which has been around since the 80s, it'll tell you your processor speed in MIPs and it might also have a loop option. It needs to be fetched with git and compiled from source though, so that assumes you know how. Out if curiosity- what version and WM of Linux/Ubuntu are you running? I think I'm the resident Linux guy around here though I don't know my way around the terminal that great (I'm no Linux Guru) but there's a lot I know how to do. -

Try folding @home on both CPU and GPU at once if you can cool it well enough, otherwise just try GPU folding. GPU folding+stressapptest should indicate stability. -
Hey @J7SC_Orionwhat motherboard do you have? I still have the 2nd CCD boosting problem, I am wondering if a new board would fix it, I also might be able to run 8000mhz RAM instead of 7600. If the fiancee agrees to it.. lol. And thanks.

Yeah, when I bought mine I didn't know there was a weight selection of 4oz or 6oz. I ended up with 4 oz and it's super thin. However: 1. The material is durable and stretchy 2. The printing used is top notch 3. They seem to be water proof? I sit on the couch all day drinking tea and occasionally have spilled my tea on one of the shirts, and it beads up on it and brushes off and just makes the material damp on the outside. Then it dries in a couple minutes, no stains. And this is on a white shirt, any other material would probably be permanently stained or I'd have to try and get the stains out. I am 120% satisfied with my purchase though wish I had gotten the heavier option. Also, I know you get what you pay for and the printing process and material costs more, but I wish the price was a little less... If I recall, $35 per tee roughly. I suggest wearing the shirt you got especially in the summer and see if you can adjust to it. Advertising the site wherever you go as well.

Old fan box. I have a 5500rpm thicc Delta in there and on top is a Yate Loon 230mm fan that would probably be good for benching. Spare cables box. There's a lot in there but most of it is black and the lighting was bad. I could retake it with flash if anyone cares, just ask. 2nd spare cables box with speaker wire, some is normal and the roll I believe is 12 or 14 gauge and I used it to wire up my subwoofer (Polk Audio PSW-505, blown speaker, put a DVC car sub in instead with this wire in series) Dead console and controller box. The drive in my silver slimline PS2 failed. I got a replacement but it's black. Thinking about doing either a drive or case swap, but I don't know the internals of a PS2 like I know the Dreamcast, which is actually fully modular. That's it aside from my boxes full of game systems, game systems boxes, pc hardware boxes, and keyboards in my storage. But those aren't dead so they don't really count.

So I showed my sister the store and she didn't want a T-shirt because she would prefer a form fitting "woman's tee" if you know what that is @ENTERPRISE. Anything we can do about that? Bridgypoo might want one too.

I also went from a 4790k to a 3900x, then 5900x.

Great photo of you two! We have a really good one like that together, I'll post it later.

How are they porting N64 games to PC? Did the source code for all the games leak? Nintendo and its lawyers are probably going to have a field day with this. -
Yeah, I forgot that I'm good at Mario Kart as well. Started with the original on SNES which I got for my 9th birthday I think. The Wii one is really good, and you can emulate it on your pc with Dolphin. Anyway, just want to share that when I play my ancient old man 2D Fighters, I use this: It's my arcade stick or some people say fight stick. I did the art for it myself showing my three best characters in SFIII 3rd Strike: Ken, Makoto and Ibuki. This was made for me. The box is curly maple stained cherry red with 5 coats of clearcoat. The box alone took a month to make. The components are a Seimitsu LS-32-01 stick with a red bubbletop, and red Sanwa 30mm screw in buttons. The exact same setup the Japanese arcade machines of 3rd Strike use. (Seimitsu stick, Sanwa buttons) Anyway, just thought I'd share that.

Aren't I getting fun of enough already? XD

This was equally late. Ma has just been trying different coffees each week or whatever because she does the grocery shopping once a week and by then, the previous bag has been used up. She hasn't found one she likes enough yet to buy consistently, but I'll advise her of what you said and see what we can find locally (though she wouldn't like grocery shopping then going elsewhere for coffee, she's old and set in her routine).

I am good (or used to be good) at Capcom and SNK 2D fighters. I placed 3rd in Milwaukee in a Street Fighter III 3rd Strike tournament. Some other ones I'm good at are Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3 and on the SNK side, Garou Mark of the Wolves, Samurai Shodown 5 SP, Fatal Fury. That's SFIII 3rd Strike which is my main game. Here's all the fatalities in Samurai Shodown 5: Zetsumei Shori. Enjoy.

Have you tried running GPU passthrough in Virtualbox? I haven't used it for years since I main Mint as my daily driver OS (Cinnamon), but VirtualBox is pretty good and free still afaik.
