Re: Deadline too short for integrated GPU

Attempts are made to assign work units that will complete, and usually don't require folding 24/7, but at times errors are made. But looking up this project at https://folding.lar.systems/projects/folding_profile/12701 it shows that class of iGPU only taking a bit over 5 hours on that project. Is it...

Re: PS3EdOlkkola's Passing

Though I never interacted with him while he was around, I just recently passed his position on the default team. I had seen his massive contributions on the Curecoin team in the past, but until recently never realized he also folded for the default team for a while, and racked up another 700M + poin...

Re: Which fan settings for 5700XT

That depends on case size, system fans, airflow, etc.... as well as how much heat your GPU makes at your power settings. I often bump the stock fan curves a bit on my GPU, as I like to keep it running cooler since it folds 24/7. Since I usually run power limited I can easily keep temps down below ab...

Re: Work server: 128.104.69.82, Collection server: 128.174.73.74

Thanks for the reply.

I've found a 16770 (37,0,178) that doesn't show up as well.



I can wait on or lose a few points... I mean points are points. But I'm wondering if the next work unit assigns in a case such as this?

Re: How to constrain % processing

Your UPS should not sound an alarm when plugged in and turned on, except for possibly some short beeps when first turned on during the self test. If it does it usually indicates some type of fault, often a battery that is no longer charging properly. You can check out the specific alarm functions by...

Re: Regulating GeForce RTX 2060 Super Load

I'll add to the above that if your GPU is overheating ever you should be looking at the fan curves, both for the GPU and system fans. Removing heat is key, and even at reduced power levels gpus create heat. The suggested MSI Afterburner app will allow you to set curves for your GPU. System fans are ...

Re: 18237 crashes on E5-2640 V3 and rtx 3080

Are you failing or getting errors on all Ox24 projects? If so, have you tried any type of troubleshooting such as shutting down the client and core and rebooting the system? Occasionally a specific work unit will fail even on a stable system. If you aren't seeing any kind of trend or multiple failed...

Re: Rebuilding rig

At this point it might be worth waiting to see if the release of Blackwell GPU's triggers some price drops on the 4000 Series. Or some Black Friday deals at least.

Re: Donr Statistics - Credits missing

Are you speaking of the credits you see when you have the software open? Credits vary project to project and are based on expected time to finish such a project. While you are folding it will show you estimated credits based on your computer's progress. If the system isn't folding credit will show z...

Re: Stats falling

Every project poses unique hardware requirements, and points will vary project to project for just about any combination of gear. Due to all the variation in projects they can't possibly set base points so that points return will be consistent on every single project. Since projects are assigned to ...

Re: RTX GPU going into low power?

Strange. In Win10 I have my display sleep set at 10 minutes, but it never impacts folding speed.

My NVIDIA Control Panel has no power options that I see.

Gordonbb, Do you have anything supported by data? :lol: Seriously though, that's some in depth testing and solid methods. I am curious though, did you always limit clocks along with power limits? Just out of curiosity I did a bit of minor testing using Afterburner, but not quite so in depth. Startin...

Re: Two work units downloaded at once?

It happened again. At least this time I know what causes it and what to expect. Since the current WU only needs a couple hours, I'll just let it fold and pick up the second one. Better to not take the hit on the completion rate vs speed things up just a little tiny bit. I'll take the points hit and ...

Re: [email protected] - Win11 - Resources not available

Malkie, I'm glad it helped you sort things out. With AMD iGPU systems running both CPU and GPU folding is taxing, running either by itself not so bad. With GPU only, you should hardly notice it's running. Also, having taken a look at your returns, keep in mind that not completing work units by the t...

Re: advanced options with 8.3, can't download any cores

whocrazy, The CPU core count is now set under machine settings/resource usage by means of a slider. I'm not sure if your screen reader will allow you to access that slider or not. I don't currently have any of the V8 versions on my machine, so I can't check for compatibility with your screen reader....
