Re: Any recommendations for inexpensive secondhand GPUs?

Mining cards are a great value for F@H since the crypto market crashed and every miner is trying to get their money back. I have a p106 Zodiac card and it runs just fine in my gaming system. I would look for them if you want to save a buck. $50 is a steal, $75 is average. Gaming while folding depen...

Re: There is no domain decomposition for 20 ranks

So I obviously should not set it to 24 if I can not monitor it 24/7? I have a 1950x but need some free cores for Plex and day to day working.

Re: There is no domain decomposition for 20 ranks

I've already done that and have it set to 24. Yet it is downloading WUs that won't work on 24 and just sits there. Is there no way I can just avoid those WUs?

There is no domain decomposition for 20 ranks

I keep getting WU's that won't fold on 24 cores so they just sit there doing nothing all night while I am asleep. How can I avoid these? 13:22:48:WU00:FS00:0xa7:*********************** Log Started 2020-04-21T13:22:47Z *********************** 13:22:48:WU00:FS00:0xa7:************************** Gromacs...

The link I posted is for python3. Your link is a python2 problem.
Adjusting it as described in my link solved the issue.

Re: Configuration for 1950x

I saw in your other thread that you have a 1060 in that machine. Have you tried hardware transcoding? Your plex server will use very little cpu time with hardware transcoding enabled. If that works, you could configure your cpu folding with 24 threads, or whatever configuration works best (12 + 12,...

Re: FAH Control 7.6.9 Won't Start On Fedora 31 After Upgrade

1) I don't fold on GPU because it isn't stable. Not sure if it is the drivers or the card but WU keep failing. I plan to upgrade the card soon to AMD and will fold when I do that. 2) I created this thread here regarding that: viewtopic.php?f=106&t=34334 do you still think a 1 24 CPU would be bet...

Re: FAH Control 7.6.9 Won't Start On Fedora 31 After Upgrade

I upgraded via sudo dnf install fahcontrol-7.6.9-1.noarch.rpm
I then removed via sudo dnf remove fahcontrol
Then installed again via first command.

Still will not start. Are there logs for FAHControl somewhere?

FAH Control 7.6.9 Won't Start On Fedora 31 After Upgrade

Not sure how I can troubleshoot this. FAHClient runs fine and is folding, however when I click to launch FAHControl, nothing happens.

Configuration for 1950x

I use my 1950x for a plex server as well as work and sometimes it does transcode some 4k movies so I need probably at least 6-8 cores free. I'd like to use the remaining for Folding. Right now I have two slots, one 8 and one 16. Is this the best configuration?
