Folding Forum

Do not enable a particular GPU in more than one group. Do not oversubscribe your cpu threads. Each GPU will need a cpu thread whether you add it to a group or not. I see what you mean, with no CPU's it does nothing. But, when I give it one (or more) it starts CPU folding with. Is there a way to tel...

Mine looks like the picture below but with a single system client on v8. See how only the entirety of the group can be paused? I have those same 4 icons, with one grayed out just like that on each line. It looks like one called Luma is one client which would pause all of its folding resources. That'...

Thanks @Joe_H for the explanation. I hadn't yet tried to pause it on the server. I do see the finish option you are referring to. For the pause however, they are all saying stop ALL. I've clicked all the different options on the line of each client and don't see anything that denotes I can pause fro...

LONG time folder (rank 88), seldom forum visitor... I had to upgrade to to the newest client on my server to utilize the higher number of CPU's (96) without having to break it into so many smaller clients. It was also something of a test to see if I wanted to swap my other units over to it, as they ...

Copy and pasting that code "safetaco" would then make them fold under your username which they may not want to do. I'd also recommend not posting your passkey public. I am sure you mean well. :e) This was the pertinent snippet based on the topic of this thread that they could replace the r...

Good ideas! Though I am very good about keeping BIOS updated, I kinda forget about the video cards. I'll check that. Yes, the BIOS version I am running is the very latest. It will probably be the last one as the whole x299 line seems to be being phased out anyway. I'll check the 4gb decoding setting...

Getting close to 10 billion F@H points! https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor/2261 I normally am very methodical and incremental in my changes so I can watch for cause and effect. However, my NVMe drive failed suddenly and I figured it was time to move to UEFI anyway. So, I changed my Asus WS x299 S...

These are my own systems PantherX. I buy some of the equipment as we retire it or from other places. For about 10 years I had my own I.T. consulting business for a while which was why I bought these initially. That's interesting that core performs better in Linux. I used to use Linux for everything ...

Thanks Neil. I appreciate the response. So it is a Windows limitation then? Or Windows FAH Client? Yes it is running Windows Server 2012r2 at the moment with VM's in Hyper-V though if I keep it as a partial work server it will be moved to VMWare. It looks like your top system is similar to this serv...

I have a couple of servers that I am no longer going to use in production. Last night, I was working with the smaller one. It is dual 12 core Xeon's for 24 cores and 48 threads. It will not let me set it higher than 30 cores. While I realize that the HT "cores" won't double the yield, I wa...

I realize this is an old thread, but in case someone stumbles across it looking for answers to the same question... I had a Quadro FX1800 and though it shows it has 64 CUDA's, it simply wouldn't ever run on V7. I couldn't get ANY of the AGP versions to work, but I believe they are even older than th...

Well, after running just the CPU for a week or so, I can say that while consuming around 800 watts from the wall to fold with the 4 ATI GPU's, and 5 CPU cores, I end up with ~26k ppd combined. With just the CPU alone, it pulls around 325 watts from the wall, and is getting over 30k ppd. I guess that...

Sweet. I guess I'll hang onto them and see how they do.

Just to see what the cards would do on their own, I paused the CPU core and now they are all averaging ~5200 PPD (each) or so. I'll let it go overnight and see if anything changes production-wise. Then, I think I will do as you suggest Panther and see if I can net more than I was getting with just t...

Well, before I saw Joes reply I let the CPU unit finish the reinstalled it so it would find the GPU's again. This time I put the latest drivers on it again, dummy plugs, DISABLED CROSSFIRE, and kicked it off and it is at least running and not failing instantly. However, one thing I notice is that al...
