What's going on with Folding@Home?

Marine Iguana · 10 May 2010 at 01:52

Well I have put my rig back up to 4Ghz no point folding @ 3.6 hopefully i can have one of those weeks where it all goes without a single problem or is that asking too much

Well it will be a close one I think, so far this week

So far so good - production is keeping up and the card is much quieter due to the proper cooling solution

Now is it me or are those two cores not SMP but uni-processor cores which are bloody annoying knew something would goes balls up

Gonna go browse the Folding forum for a answer.

Edit: Well this looks like it wont be fixed till later on today then

So I'll just do these for a bit gives my CPU a break

Edit 2: Well those WU's just won't run and have now picked up proper one I can sleep in peace

verbal · 11 May 2010 at 10:36

I've got one of these protomol core WUs too. 273ppd woooo!

lol

Marine Iguana · 11 May 2010 at 16:01

Damn how did they know

dekez · 11 May 2010 at 16:43

Ah had one of those this morning. Thought the client had ballsed it up so I deleted the WU and queue, then got a proper SMP one.

Sorry f@h!

Biffa · 12 May 2010 at 11:52

So anyone going to come up and help me up here? Guys? We are gonna get our butts kicked by Vietnam in a few weeks.

SiriusB · 12 May 2010 at 12:33

Ordering parts today :cool:

But I need to find somewhere to put my data from the server before I can do anything else.

Might ditch the on-board RAID until I can find a decent [cheap] NAS to back it up to.

Frozennova · 12 May 2010 at 13:20

Looks like its going to be another 2 weeks before I can get a gpu for this rig as I need to sort some cooling out, Carp case + stock cooling = toasty CPU

Would have been a bit better if measured up properly and hadnt order the CM Hyper 212 then stupidly cutting it up to make it fit.

You jinxed me

Some time tuesday night my whole system went belly up
ive now got to take it all apart to solve the mystery
looks as if my new gtx280 i got a couple months back is also cooked
as it boots to windows and then artifacts

Marine Iguana · 13 May 2010 at 22:34

That's OK I have switched to SETI for a bit but did wonder what had happened to your output

miniyazz · 14 May 2010 at 01:13

After a prolonged absence I have returned

Prepare for the team to be buoyed by my awesomeness, surpassed only by those better than me.

SiriusB · 14 May 2010 at 01:42

I just bought an i7 920 and associated motherboard and RAM goodness

Expect it to be up and running in about a week!

sir-les-mp · 14 May 2010 at 03:52

Well thats my case completly empty now and had a good clean out.
My mobo has been switched for the newer version i bought from the MM months ago.
and cpu located ready to be installed into the case tommorow.
Just need to open up my psu and give it a good clean out and re route my WC loop as the pump is being moved to botoom of my case.
Drives are getting moved about and i will finally i think cut the top ready for my other radiator.so like sirusb i probably wont be able to turn my system to the ON position for about another week.

Hopefully with the new mobo i might even get a stable OC out of my Phenom ii 940 after having it for over a year without success so far.

SiriusB · 17 May 2010 at 17:54

Is anyone noticing bad output for the current SMP A3 WUs?

My i7 is only chucking out 10.7K PPD atm! :eek:

I have seen this push 18K before now on 60xx WUs.

Current WU is 6013 R0:C198:G76. I really hope this isn't a sign something is wrong with my computer!
