Replacement "CyberPower battery Pack RB1290X4F" (it was $244 online sites for my 1500W rack UPS) - [retails / MSRP @ $352.00 on CyberPower site] Best price / cheapest @ Amazon after my 5% Prime CC discount & free shipping (26.5 lbs) The battery pack was received @ Amazon from CyberPower - only one month before I got package from Amazon (based on shipping information on the OEM box UPS Prices have also gotten way out of hand (I'm seeing 50% higher prices than just a couple of years ago) .... for just a UPS or replacement batteries? (no ram or drives in a UPS ...just price gouging & tariffs ?? )

Thank you to the organizers of the 96 Hr Sprint. I enjoyed the event, and it is always good to see everyone push their PPD!

I'm wondering if it is a "dead"/ does Not POST issue .... that is the only good reason I know to flash directly to the BIOS chip ............... because anyone else who needed to flash the chip for serious OC customization would not need to ask where the chip was.

Good to see more members have joined the fun! I'm not "all in" for this event .... already posted over 2.5 Billion this month for the Team Three (3) UPS units are down, sigh - I'm sure the over a dozen power interruptions during the "Great Northeaster Storm of 2026" did not Help .......... eventually I shutdown all rigs & turned off all the breakers to any major appliance other than heating system - in hopes of preventing surge damage. Still, we made out so much better than many families who lost power for Hours - some even lost power for DAYs! It could just be the batteries are too old? Two (2) of my CyberPower 1350 Watt rack UPS units (PR1500LCDRT2U) failed to keep a PC running even for 1 seconds (while idle in Windows), though the batteries are indicated as "good / fully charged" in the display, aka "no battery error symbol". One of these 1350 W UPS units has a "bad fan" (only fan in unit) that is trying to intimate the sound of a blender .... pulled fan it has a failed bearing. ---> Does anyone know a good place (in US) to buy replacement fans for CyberPower UPS units? --->>>> (fan is) 80mm sq x 25mm thick two wire 0.34A 12VDC (T&T 8025HH12F ND1) I just replaced the batteries in my oldest CyberPower 1500 Watt rack UPS & that unit indicated the battery had failed. Voltage testing confirmed bad batteries; after I pulled the battery pack & tested individual batteries ...... 6+ years old? unit, so ........ The cherry on top: two (2) 900 Watt UPS units also have failed to keep an idling PC running for even 1 second. So, I pulled one of my Folding Rigs down; to keep the misses happy with her PC, as she worked from home post Nor'easter. Since "OEM CyberPower battery Packs" have gotten way out of hand $$$$ (it was $244 for the 1500W UPS) I am thinking of buying generic 12V batteries & rebuilding myself. --->>> Any suggestions for brand of batteries or where to get "fresh" sealed 12V batteries, would be helpful. Speaking of insane prices: the (2) 1500W brick UPS I bought a couple of years ago ($500.00 each) are now just over $700.00 .................... what is up with that, copper & lead prices are way down from a few years ago?

I see a few people have some Rigs running. Wondering if others are just late for the Start? TIME 2 Crank them up for the contest; if you haven't already

Anyone else seeing this issue? WU 149** always seem to Fail, after downloading & before any actual work starts ... what the ??? Zero work is started; after the WU downloads .... just fails & reboots the Rig ---> This is Causing my Rig to restart & loose hours of Folding production until I can attend to it. Once I log back into W10 the problem WU will "Try to start" & after 5 failed attempts it then Dumps said 149** WU The Next WU will download & the Rig runs fine; until another 149** WU is assigned Rig is up to date with All MS W10Pro updates Nothing has been changed & Rig is stable for Days to weeks, Folding it's little 4090 heart out until I get another 149** problem child WU

Where or where is W12? Everyone who has been around long enough knows; every other MS OS is Better. W11 can still make great hardware move at a snail's pace ...... plenty of complaints in the wild Years after W11 launched & it is Still BROKEN! (edit typo)

I have restarted a few Rigs after one of the Problem Servers was "fixed" & I was able to download some of my Finished WU; though at a substantial LOSS in Point Value, Grrrrr

Still have Finished WU that can't be returned, sigh BAD (nonfunctional) F@H Servers 158.130.118.25 158.130.118.26 128.174.73.74

Seriously, How hard would it be to run a Basic script & Ping the Collection Servers (CS) once every 15 minuets? If the CS is Down/ Not responding ...... Then STOP sending New WU that use that CS, until it is back to available F@H seems to lack some basic Centralized Supervisory Command & Control Yes, I know there are many servers @ places all over the Globe; remote override is a Real thing. Hey this is Not Rocket Science ..... businesses do this Every DAY! I do Not have an account on F@H Forums; besides these issues were already reported on F@H forum ...... drum roll, with no response from F@H staff

These Collection Servers are still DOWN; with no Errors or Warnings showing ???? Sorry, making multiple posts - (Where is the "undo feature" to remove you last couple of pastes?) Pasting from the F@H server stat page is causing Format issues, grrrrr Folding@home Server Stats APPS.FOLDINGATHOME.ORG The connection has timed out The server at highland3.seas.upenn.edu is taking too long to respond.

Attention Required! | Cloudflare FOLDINGFORUM.ORG (edit removed link) Attention Required! | Cloudflare FOLDINGFORUM.ORG https://foldingforum.org/search.php?keywords=collection+server (I guess that F@H does not Like my VPN ... re: "Cloudflare"?) The links above are Just to show it is Not just Me having the issues with "broken collection servers" I have had Too many (around 12 today) finished WUs that can't be uploaded; well MY solution ...... I shutdown all of my Rigs. Maybe one day F@H can get their servers sorted: till then hope everyone has fun this Fall

Great that should add between 20 & 30 Million PPD

Starts in only 37 Min ..... Crank those Rigs UP!
