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 ..... Right? ExtremeHW Team Summary - Folding@Home Stats - EXTREME Overclocking FOLDING.EXTREMEOVERCLOCKING.COM

thanks for the info; that is something that I have not seen elsewhere

4 Day Plus a few extra min, till this thing starts - OK , will have to see what happens --->>> However TechPowerup! is only 21.2 Hours away from Passing us ANY of OUR Team Folders ----> want 2 drop the hammer Now?

Thank you for all of your hard work. I find this to be an interesting topic & project.

Keeping everyone updated on the latest...07.30.25, 4:20pm CDT I just wanted to give a quick update. I finally finished emailing back everyone by Monday evening, that took me way longer than expected! If you sent me an email and didn't get a reply, then I must not have received it, try sending one again through the "Contact Us" form please! You guys are something else, as of today there's been a total of over $2,800 donated! I'm totally speechless from how much you guys chipped in these past few days, truly a class act! Needless to say that will keep the server hosting paid for quite some time!!! Once I get the site moved I have some interesting things I want to hopefully roll out sooner rather than later. Tuesday morning I had to go to the dentist for a crown prep and a filling. I've done lots of fillings over the years, no big deal. This was my first crown and wow has it been a doozy! When the anesthesia wore off the pain was crazy, I don't think I finally fell asleep till around 3am because the pain was keeping me awake. I went back to the dentist today (Wednesday) and they did some grinding and we talked about exactly what has happening and he prescribed me some meds to hopefully ease the pain over the next couple days. If things don't get better then I'll have to go back again on Monday and try something else. So I took the meds with lunch and not long after I started feeling extremely nauseous! So fun times trying to lay down and sit up and do whatever you can just try to hold it all down. These past two days I have done exactly nothing except be miserable. Don't get my wrong, my dentist is great, I'm the one that is a mess with some of my roots pushing up into my sinuses it has always been an issue we've had to be careful with. This past weekend I started setting up a test server instance at home that I want to pre-configure everything and make sure the stats and such will work as expected since I'm transitioning from CentOS to (hopefully) Ubuntu. Once I can verify everything is running as it should then I can look for new hosting and get everything moved. But first, I need this tooth pain to subside before I do any more, I can't even think right now.

NEW Update: (excerpt / Copy) You all are too much!07.25.25, 7:15pm CDT First off, I want to say a HUGE thank you to every person that sent me a donation! I honestly wasn't expecting any, or even thinking about it yesterday, my mind was just kind of thinking like this was the time to start winding things down, but you guys proved me wrong. Likewise a HUGE thank you to every person that has emailed me, whether it's offering help or just words of support and encouragement, you guys don't know how much that means to me. I will reply to every email that I've received, just give me a little time, at first it was slow going, but I'm getting better with each reply, I think. With that said, donations right now would cover till the end of the year if I didn't do anything. For everyone wondering, hosting (colocation) costs me $155 a month. As I've been telling everyone in my emails the server itself is over 15 years old. Between monthly cost, server age, and reduced traffic over the years, it's time to find something more modern and affordable. I briefly looked at some VPS and VDS (virtual private/dedicated server) hosting and I think I can confidently find one for under $50 a month that has the necessary specs for processing the stats in a timely fashion. So that's going to be a project for me this weekend to start researching reputable hosting companies and comparing prices and specs and whatnot. That is one possible route for us to go. If you sent me an email but haven't heard back, don't worry (yet)! I've still got so many to reply to but it's getting late and I've had a long day. Tomorrow I'm going to power through the rest of them one way or another. Everyone has been giving me various ideas for things or offers of help, so I want to get through them all, and then we can formulate some plans and evaluate our full set of options.

Yeow, over $800.00 / month! Mine is not that expensive thankfully (@ ~ $0.14/ kWh), though I've seen it over $600/M before. Still cheaper than owning a boat. Yes, the Electric bill for both running the Rigs & the extra central A/C load, to keep the house cool does get to be a bit of a money pit. My folding will slow down for the rest of the summer months; you might see more PPD once the cold winds start to blow in the late fall / early winter. ( see photo, 128.5 M Points in 24 Hours / not bad for summertime fun) Can't wait to see the next electric bill. Thank You damric, for all that you do for Extreme HW Folding community I enjoyed the 48 Hr sprint, thanks for letting me play!

Thanks for the PPD feedback I agree that the 3080Ti do pull some Watts. Though the PPD is not bad 8M - 10 M (I've got 2 - 3080Ti FTW3 Hybrid pushing estimated over 19 M, PPD (for the pair) & pulling 1000 Watts on the X99 MB) It is about time I sell some of my 3080Ti FTW3 GPUs; maybe my 3090Ti FTW3 Hybrid ...... probably keeping my 3090Ti KingPin - "Last of the EVGA KP legends" (as I am unwilling to let it go for less than what it cost; besides it looks way cool in my EVGA X299 Dark MB)
