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!

Great Job TEAM! We are currently pulling away from TechPowerup!, the timeline is expanding - now listed as 2.7 days before we get passed. damric: "We'll need all the power you can muster!" CoolGTX: “I'm givin' her all I've got, Captain!” (6,000 W of Folding Power - per the many UPS displays)

"Joe" is a good egg; I remember when he was just cutting his teeth on power folding on EVGA; we chatted quite a lot. I tried to get him over here on EHW when leaving EVGA; but then this site had also gotten bumpy. He seems happy at TPU, I'm happy for him. Besides I've more than canceled his PPD on TPU I'm just putting on the good fight for as long as I can. I have plans to sell more of my 3080Ti FTW3 cards & mostly just use the (3) 4090 cards for Folding. The 5090 GPUs are a swing & a miss IMO ..... I'm done buying more GPUs just for Folding. Maybe if Nvidia can produce a great card that uses less energy & doubles the output .... (fond memories of the 1080 Ti & how energy effective it was with a huge processing jump from previous GPU designs)

Great Job TEAM! it Looks like we are currently pulling away from TechPowerup!, the timeline is expanding - now listed as 1.5 days before we get passed. Keep Up the Good Work & contact all the fellow Folders that you know..... We'll need all the power you can muster! “I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain!”

If you do not sharp bend, constantly remove or 1/2 way insert 12VHPWR cable .... You Should be fine. I have been folding on three 4090s for a few years now, NO Issues. I leave my adapter plugged into the card, I only remove the power cables from the adapter. I use zip ties or Velcro (wraps) to "hold the adapter & power cables where I want them" I've got a Gigabyte Gaming OC 4090 that needs a repast (to keep it from overheating).... I have the supplies PTM & all, just have not gotten to it; but that is another story So running 24/7 in "limp mode" with the following settings in a 75 F part of my house .... (20M to 30M PPD, depends on the WU) Nvidia driver 566.03 Current WU @ GPU = 2745 MHz, Mem = 10451, mV =1075, Temp = 56C with Fans @ 100% open test bech (old SOHO gutted case) Core V @ 85% Core Clock @ +125 Mem Clock @ +200 Power Limit @ 85% Temp Limit @ 88

CPU Folding, it does not make much PPD & takes much more Watts & Heat

Thanks for the reply Fluxmaven That is all I want, to put up "our best fight" & Not just rollover & "play dead" One can hope enough members current & past would help keep EHW in their current position till after the upcoming Sprint .... then maybe we would get a little jump in points and hold steady for a week or two .... or at least till the end of September I saw the participation in the 48 hr sprints & hoped maybe some of the members would find their way back Sounds like you have a few new toys to play with, GL with the block & loop work ..... Now if everybody would just turn their Rigs on & fold .....

23 Sept 2025, 12:16 My PPD is at 133,567,069 in the last 24 Hr -- Where are all the other members? LOOKs like We will get passed in 8.5 hours by TechPowerup!..... Sigh, I can always switch a few Rigs off (or over to defend my "old Team & My # 17 position in the World") ............ if nobody else wants to help Defend our Rank of #34 of the Teams list Besides everyone needs to dial in their Rigs for the sprint in a couple of days .....
