Its way too hot here, shutting down my second rig

Booo, it's never hot in the UK.

Pretzel into the top 10, congrats

Thanks Beano!

Nice to be back. moved from Ann Arbor out west, commuting weekly back east took away too much time and couldn't get the equipment upgraded & running.
I think I finally got my two 980Tis stable.
Here in Southern Cal they keep the room WARM.
Both are running around 70-75C with Core clock down to 1290
they kept crashing when they hit 80C so I used MSI Kombustor to reduce the core clock - I hope that was the right way
they seems to be running at 75% power and 93% utilization
I'm guessing that running continuously rather than on/off is better for PPD and longevity.

in the last 246 hours I've used 156Kw if I read the powermeter right- glad I've got a couple of solar panels to keep the cost down (I hope) - they definitely add to the AC load.
pulling 5.4 amps at 114v= ~600watts of heat being dumped into the office area.constantly.
today we are getting 615K to 620K PPD on either, the CPU only contributing heat and a measely 20K PPD and depending on the project usually takes twice as long as the GPU to process a WU. not sure the CPU is worth it given the heat load. Are there any WU that actually need the CPU anymore--was thinking folding now is GPU centric.

running all leftover cores on my 6700K full out @~70watts but at 75-80C
probably should find a better cooler than the single fans on t he Coolermaster

You guys have any advice to improve slot configurations?
I current use:
paused=false
client-type=advanced
next-unit-percentage=100

what else would be useful?

Got my 980s just before I learned about the 1080-- had been offline too long to keep up with technology changes.

Thought I had read that DD was getting a set but haven't seen how well they do.
Anyone have a 1070 running?

Hah - just noticed my sig file. Rig info is all wrong. now to figure out how to update it 🙂

 

[EXT64]

You can always throw "max-packet-size=big" on just to make sure no projects are excluded due to download size restrictions. Not likely to make much if any difference though.

 

[beanoslim]

Booo, it's never hot in the UK.

3 day heatwave baby

That's pretty much our summer done 😀

 

[doubled]

2nd 1080 is putting out better numbers than first ever did. 1st one output is dropping about 40k a day, day over day. Only putting out 400K max. Runs games balls out fine, benchmarks are all good, no failed WUs.....ideas?

 

[EXT64]

Box it up and ship it to me. 😀

I assume a reboot doesn't help?

 

[doubled]

Tried everything....no initial improvement, then all of the sudden back up to estimated 850k?

 

[beanoslim]

Did you check the log for the TPF, sometimes I find wu's that drastically slow the proposed TPF but don't ever decide they are a bad WU.

 

[beanoslim]

P.S. Anyone got any 1070 f@h numbers?

 

[doubled]

Log did show slow, but no bad. Must have just been a bad run. Lost 14 hours on one machine to a Win 10 update gone bad.....another delay to me taking over the world!

 

[beanoslim]

I get them occasionally, I give them a couple hours to sort themselves out then dump them, they can mess around for days.

I have auto updates totally disabled on W10 via gpedit.msc

Maybe just take over USA DD, you can't be any worse than the current candidates

Real clown show over here for sure

Real clown show over here for sure

Hey don't be putting Clowns in the same category as them.
It gives Clowns a bad image.

Anybody else having work server problems?
Been almost 24 hours and no work unit.
Have tried restarting a couple times.

another weird thing is I seem to have two CPU sots setup, each running a different WU
should I kill one of these so all the cores of my i6700K can focus on one WU at a time rather than devoting a few cores to two different WUs?

 

[Unolocogringo]

You really only want one CPU/SMP unit running.
Better PPD with all cores folding one unit.

 

[EXT64]

Yeah, I had my 48 thread SMP run out of work. I switched it over to boinc for the time being. Let me know if yours ever starts working 😀

 

[beanoslim]

Double D, top of the tree 😀 (that rhymes)

 

[Unolocogringo]

Yeah, I had my 48 thread SMP run out of work. I switched it over to boinc for the time being. Let me know if yours ever starts working 😀

After a reinstall , it set itself to SMP4 and got a work unit.
So good and bad news.

 

[beanoslim]

I remember SMP.....or was that a bad dream I had when GPU's took over the world

So DD, you just running 2x1080's at present and they are netting you 1.3-1.4 million ppd??

Got any running info, speed, temps, noise etc??

 

[doubled]

Run fan at 85% fixed core clock at +125 and memory at +500. Temp on both cards seems to hover in the 60-65 range for 1.45 mill average.

 

[BadActor]

In case anyone else runs into this, I started getting an error that my F@H client couldn't load because OpenCL.dll was missing from my computer. This occurred right after installing the the Windows 10 Anniversary update. To fix, I went into C:/windows.old/System32 and copied the file and pasted to the new Windows directory. Got a feeling this is the same type of thing affecting other people after upgrading, particularly with Steam games.
