*And sorry if there any dead links or missing images in the guide. I haven't updated it in a while. Also due to my current situation, the internet connection I can use, I cant see some images due to some filters in place.*

[EXT64]

heh - but you are still close. Just add one more GPU - even a GTX 960 ...

 

[Mousemonkey]

Already got one of those.

 

[EXT64]

Got any 980tis or titan xyzs?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Nah, too rich for my blood. :lol:

 

[JPNpower]

No GTX980s but I do have a pair of 9800gts. Close enough?

 

[Mousemonkey]

Hmm, slowly slowly catchee monkey! :lol:

Slowly catching me too!

Great to see some newer faces at the top.

It certainly is, 11 clients running but no idea whether CPU or GPU. As for you being caught up with, I don't see how there is any danger of that any time soon! :lol:

 

[EXT64]

Yikes! I'm down to only 6 active clients folding.

 

[Mousemonkey]

Yikes! I'm down to only 6 active clients folding.

Are you running GPU's or CPU's these days?

 

[EXT64]

Currently I am only running GPUs in fah. All the CPUs are running boinc or shutdown for debugging/hardware failure or because it is the summer.

 

[Mousemonkey]

I'm feeling the heat at the moment as well but here in the UK it isn't going to last too long! :lol:

I was contemplating replacing the 7790 with another AMD card the other day but they don't seem to have anything compelling enough. 🙁

 

[EXT64]

No, I can't say I see much to upgrade to in the AMD camp. My 7970s I run in boinc projects that use double precision (which makes them one of the best cards). I still fold on my 7790, but it is in part for testing (and because I have it). I retired my 7870 (didn't help that it had a somewhat crummy cooler/build quality, though really I needed that tower for the 7970). I did watercool my 7970, which was fun. The AMD cards are just ok efficiency wise, which is a big mark against them for me (compared to Maxwell). Fury X does ok, but that is just "ok" ok, not a "compelling" ok in my opinion.

Hopefully you are getting Core 17 projects on your 7790. One interesting thing that was found recently was that a large part of the AMD deficit vs NVIDIA was due to the most recent fahcores (18 and 21) being built with the NVIDIA OpenCL libs. Core 21 has been recompiled to correct this, Core 18 to my knowledge has not been.

Just joined in with my humble 2500k @ 4.7 and 560ti oced. Every bit counts ... right ?

 

[EXT64]

Awesome madchemist! Welcome aboard. Everything running ok thus far?

Welcome aboard!!!!!!
Yes every little bit counts!!!

 

[madchemist83]

Thanks. Yeah all is well. Cpu is at 68 on hottest core, gpu around 68 as well. Gotta hit that magic number .. 69. Haha.
Projected ppd is 13 thousand

 

[madchemist83]

Instead of people priming and unigineing their rigs they should all fold ... what's not to like ?

 

[Unolocogringo]

Folding will find every weakness in your overclocks. And throw an error with a returned unit.
So most times people have to reduce their overclocks to be stable at folding.
Which gives them a smaller E-peen that they are unhappy with.
My warning sign is to the left!!!!!

 

[Unolocogringo]

Also ,If you have not already done so, make sure you get your pass key and enter it into your client.
After 10 successful work units you will start earning bonus points which will increase your PPD quite a bit.
