Me being in will depend on time to get all 4 rigs put together that are apart. But will be in if possible.

Gl bro. Work hard. At least you can do it when you aren't busy. My wife basically works on my pc now, I really can't because of pain. I love her so much. Been nagging her to join the site so its not just a white guy sausage fest.

Some welcome news is that we are now a top 50 team.

This will be a good incentive to put the old Tesla Maxwell card back to work and tune it up.

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.

No way. Was it overclocked?

Unfortunately I'll be out, in the process of building a new rig. What is ETF?

I wonder if your failure has anything to do with my 6900XT's failing too.  Did the 4090 have that Tri fan, triple slot cooler on it like the MSI AMD cards have?  I know they used to reuse their coolers a lot.....if you have the same cooler as my 6900XT, there's a known issue with the contact pad not being flat, resulting in excessively high hotspot temps.

It'll just be with my RX 580 this time, can't afford the power bill and none of my AMD cards put out anything worthwhile anyway.

That's our extreme league that we have which is separate from our monthly foldathons.

 

In the ETF league you fold 24/7 on one piece of hardware and you are on a team of 3 people. ETF has a handicap points rule so that theoretically all cards are equal and the only way to really gain advantage is overclocking. You can take a look at our stats for that here:

 

Extreme Team Folding

TEAMCOMP.AXIHUB.CA

 

 

If that seems like something fun, there's some empty slots on some teams or you could even captain your own team.

Yes, I had it clocked to 2970MHz core, anything higher than 3000 caused Linux to lock up. Though the card can do 3135/12210 in Superposition.

Yeah I have the thick 3 slot cooler and triple fan MSI cooler. The thing that is though, even overclocked, with 80% fan, the card never passed 52c, except when we had 18601 units back in January, those would cause it to heat up to 68c.

 

I can tell you guys this much: if I get MSI to replace or repair my 4090, or if not and we have to buy a new one, I am never ever running folding@home on it ever again. I'm steaming.

My core temp on my 6900XT hits 54*C.  My HOTSPOT temp on my 6900XT is 110*C+.  I was talking about your hotspot temp, I'm not sure if Nvidia has that sensor.  Supposedly this happens on the MSI cards (specifically the 6900XT, but was wondering if Nvidia cards were effected too), and it happens due to the surface of the cold plate being uneven, warped, and grooved really badly.  Might also be a pressure issue too, I haven't dissected my $1000 card to figure it out myself either.
