Hey @UltraMegayou playing any retro games on your phone lately?

Got a simple logo shirt, and the gray and red folding@home shirt! $77 including tax and shipping. I can't wait to get them and see what the quality is like. I will definitely be rocking these over the spring and summer. So grateful they have finally come to fruition.

Guys, I first started making t-shirt designs in December 2022 when I realized- if we are going to have merchandise the logo needed .net added to the end. I worked with Enterprise on 4 revisions of it over 3 weeks before we found one that was workable. Then in January 2023 I spent most of the month doing graphics design and came up with 6 different designs for T-shirts. The first one I made was the folding@home shirt and I based the design on the OCN folding shirt I have. (and never wear anymore LOL) Now, the time has finally come after my designs were finished - and after a lot of back and forth with @UltraMega and @ENTERPRISEand a lot of testing and trialling on E's part: ExtremeHW - Etsy UK WWW.ETSY.COM Shop ExtremeHW Merchandise by ExtremeHW located in London, England. We have T-shirts using my designs in the store!!! @damricmentioned it in Discord and I went and looked and it literally made my day, I was actually almost about to jump up and down in happiness. And I can't wait to buy a standard logo T-shirt as well as a gray and red folding@home shirt. Maybe I'll burn the old OCN shirt in my neighbor's fire pit, lol! Anyway, I wanted to say thanks for your guys patience with me when I was crabby, and thanks to everyone who made this possible, even if it took a relatively long time, I am grateful to have friends on here and will definitely be wearing and advertising the site with these shirts!

Okay, I just remembered it being a thing from last year. I may have a prize to contribute but I'm on the fence about it. We'll see. This is why I asked.

We're allowing community-contributed prizes for this? I thought it was only going to be sponsored prizes because we didn't want to make the companies look bad by providing our own etc. or something like that.

I'll be running my 4090 OC'ed in Linux as well as the little 3060 in Windows. Even if I don't end up in 3rd or 4th place, I am still very happy to contribute to the cause. Also looking forward to what prizes we'll have this year

Yep, excited about this one.

I'll take this into consideration. If I were to lower it to 150w, I think I would have to run no overclock. (The boost algorithms are pretty great on Nvidia; I think just lowering the power limit that far will cause the card to auto-adjust clocks). I'll start with 300w and my current OC, before I try lowering it that much. Edit: I'll run it at 300w/2940MHz (stock under Linux is like 2775MHz) for 3 days, then 150w and auto clocks for three days, and DM you the results on Discord, @damric

FREE MYSTIKAL I grew up on this guy and he was my favorite rapper when I was like 14 because of how funny he is and his style. He's currently facing a life sentence.

Mine is 450w stock on the "Gaming" bios via the switch on it, but most work units come nowhere near that, even when I was using the Galax 666w bios with the slider maxed. Since its often (i.e. every time I sit down at it and check it lately) only drawing 350w I think I'll give 300w a try for a few days when the foldathon is done, and see what my output is.

Oh yeah, he did say that didn't he? I sort of glossed over it. I'm used to using Afterburner, so I assumed the big bright number (77) was the power limit. Aside from limiting it to 346, do you have any other suggestions on what power limit to limit it to? Fiancee is not happy about the power bill as of late. Most work units take 350w minimum, often 400 and rarely I'll see 450. I'm wondering if maybe I should limit it to 300w.

So per my last post about power limiting my card in Linux, and the fact it goes by watts instead of a percentage: The power limit bar in my Linux OC tool starts defaulted at 450w. Avacado posted a screenshot of his power limit being 77%. 77% of 450 is 346. So when the foldathon is over, I will try setting the power limit to 346w and see how it performs.

Yeah I run it on Linux. OC'ed to about 2940MHz. Interestingly, I can game and bench at 3090MHz in Windows and for Superposition I can even do 3135MHz. However, in Linux, X Windows and Cinnamon (i.e. the GUI) lock up if I OC the card over 3000MHz, and it even becomes unresponsive to key combinations to give me a terminal. This might be because I have no voltage control in Linux, as the card had the voltage slider maxed out for my overclocks and benching in Windows. The question I'm wondering about is that in the Linux OC tool I have, GreenWithEnvy, the power limit slider does not go by percentage, but by watts. I've noticed that the majority of the time, work units take 350-400w max and very rarely, 450w. So I'm unsure what wattage to lower it to, to get 77% like you posted. Like in the last paragraph, I worry about it affecting stability as well. You are also correct about making more points on Linux- for the majority of the last month or two, I'm doing 30m actual points and sometimes even 31 or 32m for the day. We'll have to see; I may try just lowering the wattage slider to 300w and see how it affects my system.

Lmao

Alright Sorry but I generally don't participate in the dirty dozens or the "ban the user" threads.

Fair enough, I did participate in it back. Yeah, I'd like the teasing and stuff to stop personally, but I would hope to remain on good terms with you given our common interests in anime and keyboards. So, sorry for that and taking it kinda far, you're right that my medical stuff has nothing to do with it nor have you teased me for it. I only brought it up because I already have that stuff to deal with and being teased every foldathon adds to the stress I already go through, if that makes sense. Straw that broke the camel's back sort of thing. Edit: also sorry this was not done over PMs. I should have not done it publicly here. Sigh.

There really is no finding out the hard way, given you've been beating me since at least April last year. I expect it. Also it's not a single new card- I run a 3060 as well.

Do you power limit them and run them at factory boost, or do you power limit them and also run an OC on them?

I wonder how my 4090 would do if I lowered the power limit to 80% and disabled my overclock. Or should I lower the power limit and keep the OC? I've folded for over a year straight on it, but never tried seeing what my output would be with a lower power limit, and how much money it would save. Wife has complained the power bill is $200. I may have to try this when the foldathon is over.

Nevermind. Delete.

Somehow, I don't know how, I'm in 4th place overall and had a 10mil point lead on Avacado and PaperClip. Now the gap has shrunk and both Avacado and Flux are coming for my ass by the end of the competition. I fully expect to be knocked down to 6th place by the end.

Another great song. This one often gets stuck in my head: I have the Legend CD.

Sorry man lol

Hey, can someone tell me when this ends in CST? For me it started 6am Tuesday, does that mean it ends 6am Tuesday next week or is that wrong? Sorry, the countdown to event end didn't help much for me (who is terrible with numbers and math)
