Folding@Home: THGC Needs You -Team 40051

[beanoslim]

Oh, I just lolled out load:lol:

 

[beanoslim]

So with your logic a Chevy 400 would be the same as a Ford 400. Or maybe the Ford 360 vs the Dodge 360. Or the little known Chevy 302 vs the Ford 302. My Bronco's motor is technically 408 cubic inch, due to the overbore, and my neighbor's cuda has a 408 stroker. The cubic inches are the same, so the motors are the same?

No, by my logic I'm suspicious about a GPU and last time I checked those were not on any GPU list.

And again:lol:

Beanos shutting down for the week, having a well earned week away.

Communication is via 3G on the phone.

Upon my return I shall be building my new office area and having a go at knocking that mouse off his top spot

Enjoy your hols mate, I may well be firmly ensconced by the time you get back though! 😉


Here's something to have a giggle about whilst you are chilling out http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/amd-radeon-r9-370x-launches.html , they're at it again! :lol:

I just got back from a short 4 day break myself.
Went back to Tallulah Gorge State Park so we could finish all of their hiking trails.
The new one down into the gorge bottom should be on everyone's bucket list.

Hey guys, looks like the more things change the more they stay the same.
Pretty much same posters as when I left along with a few new adds.
Y'all have been doing great! team was at 50 when I left now 28-29!

things settling down a bit for me
got family moved to SoCal (LA)
still commuting for work to Detroit (half the house for twice the price)
New home has solar so my $/KW are very low
Ambient temperatures 90-100F
not sure how new office will take the heat-getting time to find out 😉

Current setup:
ASUS P8Z77WS
Intel 3770K @3.5GHz
2x8GB Mushkin Redline 1600
CM 212+ Cooler
MSI TwinFrozr GTX680 2GB & GTX660Ti 2GB
Samsung 840Pro 256GB
WD 2TBCaviar Black
2x ASUS DVD
Seasonic Platinum 1000W
Win7 Pro x64
CM HAF X Full Tower

Advice please!

the 660Ti didn't survive the move west so needs replacement
but...
what's changed in FAH? seems like GPU dominates and no real reason to upgrade the CPU to SKYLAKE i7, TRUE?
will I contribute more with a 980ti (whose runs quietest) or should I look for two single slot GPUs
Have read somewhere that the 980Ti is almost as good as the 40% more expensive Titans
Will not use liquid cooling (gota save water during the drought ya-know)

Your thoughts?

[Mousemonkey]

Welcome back, Skylake seems to be a bit disappointing IMO and F@H dropped bigadv on CPU's some time ago anyway IIRC.

 

[Sakkura]

A 980 Ti should produce pretty similar to a Titan X, they're very similar and the extra VRAM doesn't matter. So you can probably get close to half a million PPD.

So who needs bigadv anyway. 😀

 

[beanoslim]

Friend of mine runs a 980ti, barely hits 60c folding and produces whopping ppd, up to 550k.

Well Beanos having a typical British holiday, sitting under a canopy outside a bar on the complex watching the rain fall☔️

Still kids r swimming with Grandma and Sister, gives me a chance to have a quiet pint with the missus

Careful with the free WIFI and banking.
My sister -in-law checked their account on free WIFI and got their account emptied.
Totally ruined their vacation.

 

[beanoslim]

Thanks Rick, still thought the encryption on the banking site wld protect me even on free wi-fi, hope so anyways.

R9 390X for folding, any figures anyone?Looks good on paper, only £40 more that a GTX970 and much cheaper than the 980.

It depends on if the bank has an encrypted app for your phone or you log on through a web browser on your phone.
Beware if downloading bank apps there are a lot of fakes that look real. Probably what happened to her.
I have to redo their computer every couple months. They download everything they find for free, Games, widgets,pointers ,screen savers, toolbars ,had 5 toolbars loaded at one time, you name it .At least now their son is old enough and interested in computer, I have him on a regiment of running Malware Bytes scan, C Cleaner and disk defrag weekly. Which cuts down my support calls from them a lot.

 

[beanoslim]

So a 390X is actually a 290X, do we need this discussion.?

 

[pimpanther]

so whats my 280x in new money

Have a read of this and see for yourself.

Just thought I'd stop in and see whats going on. Looks like 40051 has come up from 52 to 28 since the last time i checked. Congrats.

Looks like pulling bigadv caused a lot of sore ass, a lot of other guys running bigadv on expensive servers hung it up like I did.

A lot less active users and teams. Thats too bad.

I've got a 4 slot mobo i may put some gpus in and start up again. I see mousemonkey passed me up, can't have that.

GPU folding for the win.

I've been looking for an upgrade on the second-hand market, but it's been pretty tough going. AMD cards are few and far between around here, and Nvidia cards are so expensive. I bid about $320 for a GTX 970, that wasn't enough. Of course VAT is part of the reason, but still...

 

[Unolocogringo]

For you Lubuntu users.
After a couple blinks of the power last night, I have a problem.

Folding loads and tries to upload the last unit it finished.
Starts folding the last unit it downloaded.
Upload will get to 9-10% then everything resets and starts over, and over and over.
Then I get a prompt to upload an error report to Lubuntu, and F@H closes down.
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 3 F@H packages and updating Lubuntu.
did not work.
Same problem.
Before I wipe the hard drive and loose both work units is there something I can try to fix it?
Total Linux noob here so please be specific in you answers.
Thanks ahead of time for all help.

 

[king smp]

try reinstalling your graphic drivers?

 

[king smp]

I am not an Lubuntu user (only used Ubuntu) but maybe this will help?

But, to answer your question, the software is called Jockey. Try running jockey-gtk from the Terminal, or install the app with apt-get.

Otherwise, you can install the drivers via the terminal.

NVIDIA:
Code:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current

AMD/ATI:
Code:
sudo apt-get install fglrx

Thanks I will try the Jockey when I get home this evening. Am at our store now, I work it on Tuesdays so I can do all of the paper work and sales tax reports.
This box is CPU folding only , no graphics card besides the onboard Intel device.

 

[king smp]

hmm that info was for GPU drivers
I hate to say it but maybe restart the client and lose the WU?

also I found this link which I do not think will help with this problem but might come in handy
