Do you have a descent multicore CPU?

 

8700K + M2000 and 10900K + 3080 Ti. I can do without the M2000 but it'd be nice to have anyway

When I get a minute I'll send you my firmware image to double check yours. Because yeah that little guy can grab a WU or two every day.

[The Pook]

thanks but no real need, apparently it takes a while for ETA to calculate properly. It's now ~19 hours rather than ~2 days. 

 

if it fails again then I finally have a reason to swap it for an A2000 anyway

Will the forms (on page 1) populate with the folders names before the First Points drop?

 

RE: Updates

 In one spot is says points updates every hour
"Note: Stats are updated every hour at XX:25 for previous hour of submitted Work Units."

However, On the newer form it mentions every 3 hours?

@axipher just explained to me that it takes about 3 hours for the first update. Yes they will show your names automatically.

 

This is NOT a stupid question and we ask this every month and axipher has to remind us

Hopped on to see what time this started just to find out it already has lol. I managed to get a couple rigs online. 

 

Nice to see so much participation. Looking forward to seeing what sort of numbers people put out this month. Shouldn't be too long before EHW is in the top 50 teams

Did the banner confuse you too? That thing appeared about 30 minutes prior and we were like whaaaaa...

 

To anyone else seeing that banner... It's wrong! We started at 00:00 UTC as planned.

No I just haven't been on the site much lately and couldn't even remember what day it started. I thought it would be sometime tomorrow.

tictoc nailed it. Dumped the first wu at 2.4 million and second wu jumped to 4.8. Feeling better now.

Tom you had me so paranoid that I paused folding and installed an old driver from November and resumed. I'm still only like 75% GPU utilization so I guess it's just this WU 18717.

[The Pook]

my M2000 and 3080 Ti are both working on 18717. M2000 is pegged at 100% and my 3080 is hovering around ~80%. 

 

[mx500torid]

I had a 14951 that slowed me down. A 18213 sped things up.

 

[Broseph]

Wow, 3 of my 4 CPU boxes [i]just[/i] got a bunch of those huge 18810 (and 18806) work units.  They're the Sonya Harrison/Flatiron Institute ones that take 18-30 hours each lol.  High points but oof to quickly getting 10 or 20 WUs lmao.

Fold on!

[pio]

Sandbagging........or was I just not willing to put up with the power bill increase?  -_-

Whatever, I have my entire "fleet" of useful folding equipment online.

 

GPU's: 6900XT, 5700XT, Vega 64, FuryX, and a GTX 970 for good measure

 

CPU's: Ryzen 3600, Ryzen 2600x, Ryzen 1400

 

I'd have more things online, but my 5800x rig is my ETF rig (with the 6900xt), so passkey issues there.  The rest of my gear is too old to really help with any sort of placing, so meh...better to just leave the 290x, 7970, FX, Thuban, and the rest of the old gear alone probably.

I was confused too, otherwise I'd have got my equipment online yesterday.  To be fair, I didn't pay too much attention to what TIME it started, I saw the dates of 3/17-3/20 and just assumed we were starting Friday.  Instead we started Thursday around 5pm.  Yeah, that was a little confusing.  Again though, I hadn't noticed 0:00 UTC either, and if I did I probably confused UTC for EST just out of habit.

We have a pretender! 

 

I mean, I am folding but my username is all caps....though oddly I'm not on the table at all yet.

[Monsterkater]

Wow, I just noticed FAHViewer crashed sometime this night. Luckily it was just the viewer, still, without the viewer running my GPU just sits there marginally above idle speed, showing Util limit and folding at only 30-35% capacity 

 

Well, it's fixed now and I'll have an extra eye on it in the following days. Still, I'm a bit mad I haven't caught it earlier 

[keeph8n]

in, keeph8n

Apparently I thought this started next week

[Dagamus_NM]

My house was nice and toasty when I woke up this morning. Have the windows open. New Mexico got a nice layer of snow and it is supposed to be chilly all weekend. The weather approves of my folding. My girlfriend is less excited. 

[Cerberus]

right on! good amount of people this time around!

The stats site is definitely just a passion project for me on the side, so I sometimes don't get a chance to update everything everywhere.

 

I can try to update them all to match this weekend, do you remember where you saw the note for hourly updates?

I think that was old info copied over, and I really am not qualified to even answer that question

 

I'll delete said evidence

 

On the plus side, it looks like both score cards are tracking nicely so I'm going to take down the redundant excel sheet.

 

edit: moved the score card towards the top so you don't have to scroll through all the merchandise

We'll pretend you didn't say that. Everyone loves coming on to the forums right?

I was looking for that type of link earlier .... never found it in the thread & I'm new here.  I've got over 30K posts in my "home" forum where I'm also a Mod

 

Thank you
