Thanks pio. Yeah, maybe it has the same problem and got really hot and fried with these weird new 16xxx units I've gotten the last 3 days.

I'm afraid folding has killed my beloved 4090 Gaming X Trio, but it's done 2.3 billion points for the team.

 

Anyway TL;DR: folding has appeared to kill my 4090, will get a new temporary card and starting the RMA process with MSI.

Keep me updated on how the RMA goes.  I have the same card, folding 24/7.  No issues after 3 months folding at stock speeds.

Maybe it was the OC. Though there's no way to overvolt the card in Linux and it was only at 2970MHz.

I am contributing 3 prizes for this foldathon if anyone wants them.

 

Delta high speed fan, giant Yate Loon 230mm fan, and an approximately 30ft Cat 6e 10Gbps flat Ethernet cable.

You're going to need those for building a separate folding rig with that bench I sent you.

 

Since it is really a good idea not to fold 24/7 on your prized card, maybe one of those MI25's we talked about. I see them going on ebay for $65-70. Might be fun.

Nah add them to the prize list please. I'm not setting up a bench rig, I'd need to buy a psu, the spare coolers I have can't be mounted on AM3+ (my spare FX-8350 setup), plus I'd need to buy old GPUs.

 

We've spent a lot from savings recently but our goal is to have $25k by 2025 to go to Japan to the 2025 Osaka World's Fair (look it up, it's really interesting)

 

Edit: also my card was approved for RMA by MSI so that's good news.

 

Double edit: sorry for hijacking the thread with my dead GPU woes. Carry on.

OUT bigred. Remove me from the foldathon please.

 

Yesterday night, my rig started not waking up from monitor sleep while folding. My monitor would just say no signal. I tried with folding not running, same issue. It is freezing in games in Windows.

 

I'm afraid folding has killed my beloved 4090 Gaming X Trio, but it's done 2.3 billion points for the team. We've tried a lot of things and the issue persists. This is bizarre as I once folded on an OC'ed HD 6870 for a year straight 24/7 and got the badge for it on OCN. I've folded for months at a time on a ton of other cards and never had them die, but this really is probably the only reason/explanation for it.

 

So I will be buying a GT 710 at Best Buy later, just so I have video and my system is usable as a server, as well as for graphic design. Just realized there's a rally expansion for Forza Horizon 5 and was planning on playing it this week, I guess that's not happening.

 

Anyway TL;DR: folding has appeared to kill my 4090, will get a new temporary card and starting the RMA process with MSI.

That sucks bro, sorry that happened. Kevdog strikes again.

I was so close to passing you up, too! Lol

Can you please add my prizes to the prize list? We have a lot of newcomers, maybe they'd want my fans and cable.

 

Additionally I can provide up to 8 of these Corsair stock radiator fans:

This may be my last one for a few months, because my house doesn't have central air conditioning and temperatures start to become a problem when the weather gets warm.  I may just fold for the FaTs but not 24/7, because this machine is in my office that I work in every day and even though my GPU doesn't mind it being warmer, my weak human body doesn't have a PWM so I am the one who ends up overheating.

Understood. This is why we cut back to 48-hour challenges until December. That last 96-hour was brutal

I'm a bit late. Was trying V8 out over night and went back to V7 for some quality of life things. I'll try over the weekend, don't know how much will get done since I'll be swapping over to W790 from C622

You don't have to do anything.

 

We have another league called ETF (extreme team) that folds 24/7 on one piece of hardware. If that interests you, check out the subforum for that. There's some open slots on our teams or you could captain your own extreme team.

[Memmento Mori]

thanks for the explanation..

 

another "Virgin" question : will it be OK if i start the folding 2H sooner as im in EU and wont be until 2 AM.. so my intention is to start the folding before i go sleep and leave it running...

Absolutely. Many of us light off the rigs a day early just to work out any hiccups. The scores track automatically by the start time. It typically takes about 3 hours for the first scores to start showing up on our score card though.

I’m already up and running… lets see what it will create
