I haven't had the time to read through all of it but this thread looks interesting:- https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=28185

Mmmmm.

Whats your power limit set at?

poer target is 100 percent temp 79 but folding gets to 64c , i accidently OC it last night and forgot to turn my fah off x21 wu and i still got a good score and no probs [and i overvolted]

Welcome aboard, good to have you on the team.

where are you and beano and the gang.i lost the tread.i got service pack 2 on windows 10 and its done crazy things to my pc i wonder if thats beanos prob.its fixed my 1.1 to 2.0 to now 3.0 all the time [as it should be but a number of games have [run out of memeory] and have gone weird colour while other have not.weird/

 

[pimpanther]

why the silence????

why the silence????

Most of us are regular people with busy lives.
I have see this thread go almost a month with no replies. So do not take it personally.
Some like EXT64 hit it in spurts. here a couple weeks and then gone for weeks, some pass by occasionally and say hi and are gone again.
After Christmas I will take our yearly vacation with the grand kids and will be gone a month or so and may or not check in depending on wifi at the state/national parks we are in.
Will be New Orleans and the gulf coast this year. Some have cell service, some do not. And very few have Wi_Fi.
It is our time for the grand kids and back to nature ,with hiking and biking being the top of the list and of course walks with the dogs.

Service pack 2? I don't think there are any service packs on Win 10 yet.

Can't comment on what PCIe revision Nvidia cards run at while folding, but for what it's worth my 290 stays on 3.0 x16. But dropping to 2.0 or 1.1 should just be for power saving, so if that happens it might just be a better power optimization by Nvidia.

yes ut was the service pack for sql server thingy and yes its nvidia trying to to save power..it confuses me.i do a lot of benchmarks .my games have had a real beating from something and idt its the card.it all ran fine until silverlight got involved.grr

[pimpanther]

[Unolocogringo]

Be careful with that wi-fi Ricky😀

I've been bitten enough times that I am immune to it now!!!!!

it all started with that Poo bear you know.then paddington.[a BIG blutooth fan] even more than marmalade sandwiches

i will catch you sid vicious and your golden key to the top 30 ya ah heck you

 

[beanoslim]

Well.. I have some developments..

Installed 1200w EVGA Supanova.

F@H still recognises the 980 as the 980ti and vice versa.....but....

I have just run both cards all night with no bad states, including a 0x21 wu !!

This is with both cards at default speed and memory settings.

Not confident enough to say just yet that all my problems are solved but its looking better

 

[Sakkura]

Got my fingers crossed for you Beano. Can't even imagine how frustrating it must be to have awesome hardware like that just not quite work right.

In other news, we seem to have set new weekly and monthly records at the same time. We broke 40 mill for the past week (by weird US reckoning where weeks end on Saturday), and nearly 165 mill for October.

 

[beanoslim]

Thanks Very frustrating

Those are some impressive team numbers, I'm guessing this rig, all going well should hit 750-850k ppd.

PPD on these 980/980ti's vary immensely, 980 is 280k-440k and 980ti 390k - 610k !!

Hopefully the big point 0x21 units will run now, just waiting for another

 

[beanoslim]

42k PPD, just to get on the Top 20 board, wowzers..

 

[EXT64]

So who is going to knock me off my #1 spot 😀

 

[pimpanther]

great news Beano. a tutter from your old PSU maybe? it will be my next,i want a gold or platinum cert. xfx, seasonic etc 1000 watt as i want another of these cards in the future in sli.SO chuffed with it.

 

[beanoslim]

Second 0x21 completed without error, just picked up another.

This EVGA 1200 P2 got some great reviews, 100A on a single 12v line, fully modular.

Picked it up off Amazon for £179 with a 10 year warranty.

Looking hopeful, I did suspect power all along 😉

@EXT, I'm gonna run these for a few days just to settle my lack of confidence and then if I can overclock both cards to around 1700mhz I may well knock you off that No:1 spot.

Current PPD @852k

That is the team page, if you click your name it gives a lot more info for you.

 

[pimpanther]

um im 13 in the top producers ...cool

 

[beanoslim]

Anyone change their checkpoint frequency??

 

[Sakkura]

I just kept mine on the default 15 minutes. I don't pause or reboot all that often, so I don't lose much progress from it.

 

[EXT64]

I never changed it either

 

[pimpanther]

Anyone change their checkpoint frequency??

i did once.idk why or cannot remember why. WHY? lol

 

[beanoslim]

Well it says reducing the checkpoint time might decrease performance so I was wondering if increasing it would improve performance.

Both cards have now successfully completed 0x21 wu's, default settings for boost and memory.
