Countdown to Event End

 

ATTENTION Extreme Team Folding Participants: Please make sure you do not fold anything under your ETF GPU Passkey except for the GPU you are participating in the event with. You need to use a 2nd passkey to fold anything else in this event.

 

In the spirit of folding for the cause and good old friendly competition between members, we are hosting another folding competition. For more details please see below.

 

How to participate:

During the competition you must be folding for Team 239902
You must post in this thread with "IN" followed by your folding username.

 

Prizes:

2x $25 PayPal - @BWG - Won by @Bastiaan_NL @damric
 

Folding Time Prizes:

1 day of folding on BWG's Farm (excluding the GTX 960) - @BWG - Won by @firedfly
 

Excluded from Prizes:

No!

All "Folding Time" prizes will require your username/passkey to be given to the donator, this will not give them any of your personal information, it just let's them be able to contribute full points to your username.  Passkeys need at least 10 full Work Units to start getting the full Quick Return Bonus.  Alternatively, you could setup another passkey for your Folding@Home username with a different email address and fold your first 10 units on that.  This would still put the points towards your username, but they would also be tracked by a different passkey.

Please note all winners must claim within 30 days from announcement of the winners.

I had an issue and didn't realize my rig was down for half the day, but it looks like I'm not the only one off to a bad start lol. Good luck everybody!

[BWG]

7 hours left! Good work so far in a hotter month of the year.  I'd say we're on the map! We've been hovering around 6th in the world the past few days.

I just got home from my sister's cookout and omg one of the folding rigs was making a horrible noise ratting. I pressed on all of the fans and it didn't matter. I'm like omg something's going to die.

 

For some reason I decided to pinch one of the water hoses such that I stopped flow. As soon as I released, a big air bubble came up from the pump into the reservoir.

 

It just had to burp.

 

Carry on.

Thought I would try to make up for the 13 hours my internet was down, so I fired up the 5700XT and 6800 XT and found out that they both get virtually the same PPD!! 1.6 Mil. Thought the 6 series would do better. Anyway also found out that if your new win 10 install is not updated that the 5700 will do 500k. Took me awhile to figure that one out. I wonder if they might do better on Linux. If anyone has any knowledge of that I would appreciate it. So the radeons each did 1 wu and I stopped them. Room was getting rather warm. Amazing the 2080 beats them both together.

Downgrading the AMD driver a couple versions will almost double the ppd.

 

I'll draw the prizes when I put the kids in bed tonight.

You might be hitting power limits because of the faster VRAM. You could try downclocking that a bit and see if it helps, or just raise the power limit.

Did that undervolted 1050 and power limit is 15%. It runs faster undervolted around 2350. Anything more and I lose performance. It will run 2550 but scores tumble well on Time Spy they drop.

I will try this on the new build. I cant do that on the 6800 cause of the game I play. Feels good to be folding again even if just a little. Thx guys for the replies.
