I just never stop folding

I wish I could fold nonstop. I'd need to get another circuit added so I could install a mini split to keep the office at a bearable temperature. I'm willing to suffer once a month for the foldathons, but I'm also not the only one that lives here. I can't expect everyone to share in my suffering

...but, i guess if you are going to try to code 459 my

MAN cave, i'll guess i'll have to set up a few extra punji stick traps just for you.  don't worry, i know first aid.

I think your stats are messed up. I have been doing a consistent 5 million ppd for a week or more, and it only says I have 5 mil in the contest stats.

@markfw the log started 24 hours ago. You're right on track.

Actually Mark, I'm pretty sure our in-house stats update much more frequently than eoc.

If you are just running the one RTX 4070, then that seems actually very good. Are you going to bring out your good toys soon?

I could be in first place if I wanted to, as I hold a 155 million ppd on Anandtech, but I didn't want to ruin your competition...

 

That 155 mil is just 7 video cards, 4 4090's, and 2 4080's, and a 3080TI.

yeah I'm sandbagging too to keep it friendly 

 

all my other rigs fold under anonymous

It wouldn't ruin it at all. It would enhance it because I know that certain folks here ARE sandbagging. If you made a run for the top it would push those guys harder.

[Fluxmaven]

Yea we appreciate everyone stopping by to participate regardless of how many or few cards people choose to run. 

 

Recently I've been open to branching out. I participated in the LTT month of folding and the Hardforum BigAdv EOL challenge. I admittedly had a more enjoyable experience at [H] than LTT. 

 

I love to see people from other forums stop by to fold with us. Many of us would be happy to join others events as well. 

[markfw]

I have somebody on my tail (pokey at 125 mil ppd) on AT, so I have to keep everything running there.

We check for updated team stats every 5 minutes, I believe.  We wouldn't be able to do that if we were tracking a lot of teams like eoc is.  With just our team, we haven't had any issues.

I totally have an army of 4090's going, millions of PPD, same problem bro.

what do you guys have so many gpus for?? lmao.

It's an enthusiast forum so I don't think it's too weird to see people with a lot of hardware they can spin up for a few days.

 

I have several PCs for different purposes and I just fire them all up for the foldathons. 

 

[damric]

For the guys that normally don't fold often or are new to folding. Dial back those overclocks, espeically on the memory. F@H is more brutal than those synthetic stress tests and has like zero tolerance for errors, meaning the work units will fail if you are even slightly unstable. If anything, tune for efficiency as this is a marathon, not a sprint.

 

Already had some people messaging me with problems on systems that they thought were 100% stable.

I'd remove my OC but then franz would win

Did this for my GPUs but, I almost didn't catch my 5800X3D Overheating before I took a nap.

It *was* bouncing off 95c+. Now it can bounce between "Hot" and "max spec"

Surprisingly that wasn't my issue, just windows update deciding that updating GPU driver just after i went to bed was a good idea and on daily apparently the hardware acceleration in steam/ integrated browser kept the GPU from actually boosting when folding while steam was updating games... So i can either fold at full power or update stuff, i thought that i might as well update some of my steam libary while the daily is on but computer says no

Hey @Memmento Mori

 

What are you running for this?

[LabRat]

Well, Crap...

 

Hoping a reboot fixes this, otherwise I may have made a wall hanger Vega
I was staying coolest of the 3 actively folding Processors; hoping driver crashed-out. Alternatively, my "CPU" is "Stable", but not the I/O Controller of the SoC (the V64 was on the CPU x16)

You check the LOG TAB and check the box for Warnings and Errors and maybe see what's up. Vega can fold pretty well, but don't OC the HBM

Forgot to check the log b4 rebooting and fixing things. Ooops.

 

No clue why it is clocking higher than default on the core but, the HBM OC is purposeful. I can keep it cool, and HBM OCs seem to greatly benefit any workload I've thrown @ a Vega. (I'm open to being wrong, and losing another Work Unit. )

Regardless, I have good reason to suspect it was the drastic undervolt.
Vega 64 200W Stock:

What I was running (Vega 56 Mobile, 847HBM)

 

Also, it nuked the driver on reboot.
So, I just cleanly uninstalled and reinstalled a better-known-to-be stable driver pkg. 

Edit: I calmed 'er down, some.
