10th annual Folding@Home Holiday Season Race

[Drsignguy]

Well I added another GTX970 to up my daily production and getting another soon. Those 970's do pretty well for the price out the door.

Thanks for the stats Peter and have a good trip!

To salvorhardin:

It wasn't easy to catch you! Well done!

I'll catch up sooner or later!

Hey, Y'all. My apologies to my TeAm-mates, I'm shutting down one of my 7950 cards, for a day or two. It's 59F out tonight, and with both GPUs crunching, it's way, way, too hot in here. I really don't want to run the A/C. (In Dec.? LOL!)

If you feel the need to turn something off, I'd suggest you try turning off all the CPU work first.

But I did hear the weather in the East has been crazy-warm. Here we have two inches of fresh snow outside.

 

[Assimilator1]

Unusually warm her too, about 10-15C, nearly ~10c warmer than normal I think.

Like the cartoon shots .

Thx for the stats Petrus, & have a good trip away

Yeah..........about that. Uhm, I, uhm, bid on a few too many items on ebay, uhm, and well, won most of the bids. I haven't figured out yet how I'm going to place all these 'items', but....expect my ppd to increase, just a little, by week's end. From 1.5M ppd to, oh, 3M ppd perhaps.

Lol, bloody hell!

Desslok
Crunching problems?

 

[Desslok]

Yes, had some hardware issues. Hopefully I have them resolved and will be coming back in the PPD dept.

Sorry for the lag.

 

[Assimilator1]

No worries, thought you were going easy on me
What you crunching on btw?

 

[Desslok]

What you crunching on btw?

AMD Black 8350 stock clock
w/GTX 750ti might add another 750ti

MacBook Pro LOL

A couple servers when the work load is light.

I intended to have two more 750Tis join in but the system that was going to run them decided to take a dirt nap after I had it all setup. Time to redo the system but no time to get it all ordered and setup with the holidays etc.

 

[Markfw]

ok, I lost some points today,maybe 1/2 million. Had a bad AX1200 Corsair PSU.

 

[Desslok]

Seems that the hardware bug is going around sadly.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Mark. It seemed like such a reputable PSU.

 

[Assimilator1]

Even amongst good PSUs they'll be a few bad ones, still a bummer though .

Desslok
I've lost track of AMD CPUs these days, how does it's performance compare to Intel ones?
8 cores sounds good anyway
What ppd do you get from it?

 

[TennesseeTony]

Do you have to do 10 wu to get max points if you switch GPU? I'm only getting 450k outta my 980 ti.

As long as you are using the same passkey, you do not need to do another 10 WU to start getting bonus.

Are you running at stock?

 

[Markfw]

Do you have to do 10 wu to get max points if you switch GPU? I'm only getting 450k outta my 980 ti.

Thats all I am getting also. Running at 1328 mhz, stock is 1190 on my card.

 

[Desslok]

My TDP is 125w compare the ~85-90w for the closet Intel chip, so this is a computing through shear horsepower vs Intel more efficient design. I am also down ~10% depending on what I am running, but I got a great deal on it and the motherboard so it was a wash.

I am getting ~80-95k PPD with the single 750ti

 

[theAnimal]

Thats all I am getting also. Running at 1328 mhz, stock is 1190 on my card.

The slowest mine will fold at is 1392 lol, right now at 1502 & may try to bump a few notches.

 

[petrusbroder]

The stats are as of December 16, 2015, 21:00 UTC.

The individual stats:

The day-to-day production after the restructuring of the teams:

Each racer's total production in order:

The TeAm's production graph:

After half the race we have produced 134.4 M points. Compare that to the total production in December 2014: 176.2 M. If we keep this up, we may end up producing more than 250 Million points in one month.

 

[TennesseeTony]

If we keep this up, we may end up producing more than 250 Million points in one month.

Sweet!~

Thanks for the stats!

My last 2 video cards, a 780 and a 780ti both at STOCK died in 6 months of 24/7 F@H. That was over $1000 gone, and still not a bad card today, so I am very leary about overclocking a $650 card.

The 780s run hotter but still should not die after 6 months. Did you RMA them?

 

[TennesseeTony]

....that's a lot of money to have in a GPU that may let the smoke out.

Yeah, I'm letting the factory overclock, so I can blame them if something goes wrong. Hit's 1400MHz sometimes, versus Nvidia's base 'stock' rating of 1000MHz.

I'm not worried by my OC at all, no extra voltage needed and running about 70C.

 

[Markfw]

They were both refurbs. I didn't read the fine print 90 day warranty.

I am SOL

BUT on the positive side, my AX1200 has a 7 year warranty ! And I could not find my receipt, but newegg knew about my 2010 purchase, and my RMA is approved and shipped off to them.

I have 2 other AX1200's, and used one to keep folding.(it was on one of my 24 core boxes that is turned off)

 

[TennesseeTony]

So...how does one OC a 980Ti? Just crank up the core clock? Does the system then crash, once you've gone too far?
