Oh and by the way @BWG, is my multiplier for the 1070 Ti set for Windows or Linux? It's OC'd and stable, running 24/7 since, but I'm lagging way way behind on ETF points. I haven't done the math to see if that change would make the difference, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

 

We started using the all os figures at the beginning of July.

Well alright, that would explain why it's not listed anywhere on the stats site. Totally missed that memo.

Well, I was wrong. It was the end of July.

@damricWell played sir. Now I am curious, how did you achieve your 680% OC?

Running 1725MHz core with 2x8GB DDR4 @3466CL16 under water with high voltages, not constrained by the weak power limits.

 

Stock for this CPU is 1100/JEDEC, and god forbid someone were to run single channel RAM @2133MHz, the PPD would be terrible, especially if they did not unlock the APU power limit since the 35W or 65W is a shared limit for the iGPU and CPU sides.

 

Now on the other hand, the newer VEGA 8s are OC beasts, hitting 2400MHz typically. Imagine if I get my hands on one of the new APUs with better memory controller and fabric clocks.

 

Luckily for you, I can't quite finish a WU every day, more like 3 WUs per 5 days is what I'm estimating.

 

When Michele ran this APU for a couple weeks I noticed her PPD was *, but she was running it at stock configurations and one stick of RAM. Then the other day after the power outage I was setting up to return with my HD 7850 on the same rig. I turned on F@H and of course it started folding on everything, so I watched, then I noticed the PPD with 2 sticks of RAM was a lot better. Then I OC'd the RAM from 2133 to 3466MT/s and it was MUCH better. Then I tuned the GPU up. 1750 seemed like the ceiling when it started to crash so I dialed it back to 1725MHz. I simply unplugged the PCIE cable from the HD 7850 after it was finished, so it's just a dead card in the loop now. The iGPU, even with massive overclocks still seems more efficient than any card I own except that GTX 750.

 

If you are interested, I'll let you remote into the rig so you can see exactly what's goin on in there.

All I have to go off of is your points on the site and it looks like 33 million per day. You don't want me remoting in on your rig I would be doing this

I'll take some pictures of the BIOS settings next time I need to restart, but here is a screenshot and you can see the clocks and scary voltages:

I like math, and i'm always running it on you guys. Your lars all OS is this

 

 

Your next unit is going to net you 124139/17468= 710% over baseline, that is a mighty impressive OC.

Yeah I don't know what settings the 5000+ samples were running but I imagine they were running into power limits and RAM bottlenecks, both by channel interleaving and frequency. Michele was getting like 10k ppd before with single channel.

I just noticed that the update service was active again (on 3 systems), so even with the method I mentioned Windows finds a way to force those updates down your throat.

At least it lasts a little longer than with the service enabled.

Yeah it's bad enough for regular consumer users like me, but you should see the havock these updates cause at my wife's work place. They try to lock them down, block them, then one of the higher ups will let an update come through and break thousands of machines from printing or accessing email servers.

Oh yeah, it takes only one update to cause a lot of damage.. I've had enough problems at work caused by a variety of updates, not only from Windows. 
I'm glad I noticed, I installed the updates and disabled the Windows update service again.

[damric]

The network print spool updates have pretty much crippled AIRBUS, where every time they deliver a plane they need to print out half of the internet in legal forms because god forbid they use electronic copies.

Long story short, I was messing with some other stuff on my folding computer since I use it as a game server, and F@H isn't running and I'm no longer able to remote into it. In a very fortunate turn of events, I've been planning on going home tomorrow, so I should be able to get it back up and running in the evening. Hopefully less than 24 hours of downtime.

Well apparently I had the wrong passkey in my rig for almost a week...

 

I've been swapping hardware around a lot between 4 rigs though. I had my main go down last week and just got it operational again at the expense of cannibalizing other rigs. I still have a lot of work to do but hopefully I am pulling ETF points now.

[u3b3rg33k]

Working on re-doing my rig to run win10, expect poor PPD from yesterday through TBD.

 

I did something with my $25 prize!

Didn't have a lot of time to mess with my folding rig today like I'd hoped, so it's still down, funnily enough I got roped into working on my dad's PC instead. Will get to it tomorrow.

[Supercrumpet]

Back up and folding as of earlier today, but I managed to forget to save my OC profile so I have to fiddle with that again.

I did that a few times until I was tired and wrote the OC's down for every card I have (max oc, gaming, folding etc).

A few days ago I added all the OC/benchmark results to a spreadsheet where I also keep track of power consumption, just an idea

 

[u3b3rg33k]

so the TDB is I have dead/failing PCIe lanes/slots, looks like it's time to start speccing out a new build.

Not a bad idea at all, I'll definitely consider compiling something similar.

RIP.

I need to stop folding for a day or so until I re-configure some hardware with my test benches. Hopefully I won't be down too long.

Did you ever get Michele's 750 flashed?

That is part of what I am about to do. I need to swap a few motherboards and processors first though. Some things just don't play nice together. I'll probably do the flashing tonight or tomorrow.

 

I need to have one test rig open to feed LARS some stock W2100 numbers, assuming it folds at all. Then I also need to see if I can unlock overclocking with some BIOS tweaking via some stuff I read on Igor's labs. Someone there did it.

 

On top of that, I am building a workstation for one of my buddies to do his 3D animation and AutoCAD stuff. And once my dual D5 comes back from PPCs I need to rebuild my main rig loop.

Tonight would be a good night. I don't have my daughter and would be able to hop on Discord with you.
