What is DoubleD?

 

[beanoslim]

Actually I'm probably not gonna get you for a while as you've pumped out nearly 1 mil this week already..

But if you do slow down I'll be waiting, just so you know..

 

[beanoslim]

DoubleD 1st appeared for me when he started producing more than AK on a regular basis.

He sort of had this large surge of points and then fizzled away into oblivion.

A while back he sort of hinted that he was planning a return but that was some time ago.

I doubt he'd return with a mediocre offering, its sort of all or nothing, well from my experience.

I have a feeling that he could suddenly appear with something special but who knows....

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUN....

What is DoubleD?

a folder on this team.

He has been idle for about 2 years and it looks like he's back.

 

[beanoslim]

DD's can also represent something entirely different but equally if not more exciting than f@h points, mmmmmm...

+1

I agree on that.

in a 78F room I hit 80C on the 480 while folding
last weekend I I had the card folding (no SMP too freaking hot in the room) for over 48 hrs and never went over 80c in 78F
I have a 120mm Antec fan on the side intaking directly on the fan on the card
I have two CM Sickleflow 120mm Blues on the back of the hard drive cage intaking from the front under the HD cage blowing on the card
I have a Antec HCG-750w bottom mounted 135mm fan PSU intaking from bottom and a 200mm Antec Big Boy on top exhausting
with Antec Kuhler 620 LC with two Scythe Ultraze 120mm 133cfm 3k rpm fans in push-pull for the CPU

I will be adding two blue Rosewill 120mm to the side soon and eventually add two 120mm to the front grille
this is my case

sorry to bore you LOL

pretty happy with 80c in a 78f room though
it is a EVGA Superclocked 480 and runs much cooler than I thought from the reviews

You're not boring me just confusing me! Why do you use Fahrenheit for room temp but Celsius for GPU temp? :lol:

and DoubleD shall rise again! http://fc05.deviantart.net/images3/i/2004/11/4/6/Evil_Laugh_emoticon.gif

Hopefully the giant will be slow to stir so I might still be able to get a quick teabagging in! :lol:

@SMP my 460's rarely get over 60C, how about a couple of superclocked 460's for your collection?

@Mouseman, I think the thought of being passed by a rodent mod has finally given DoubleD the kick up the ass he needed. :lol:

I'm gonna get you Mouseman. 😛

When it gets warmer I'll power down but until then I'm going to see if two PC's can provide enough heat to get through the winter.

 

[beanoslim]

mmmm, 6 wu's @1835 pts each, what could that be??

[king smp]

@MM- I live in America a really metrically confused country-metric system never really took off over here for everyday usage-I am used to Fahrenheit for ambient temps
though I went to tradeschool for Heating and AC so I do know how to do the conversions
For example (80F-32) /1.8 = @27C or 27C * 1.8 + 32 = @80F
pretty easy to do in your head
basically just times the C by 2 add 32 and minus a few degrees will give a rough estimate
now if I could only remember Boyle's law.....

anway right now after two hours of folding and the room temp at 82F (@28C) the 480 is at 82c

so about a 54c delta between ambient and max load temps
freaking room was colder during the summer when I ran the AC
stayed about 72-74F then
the problem is that I am in a 8ftx8ft room with one window that doesnt open and another with a window AC unit in it which cant be removed
so I run the AC unit with the intake fan
as soon as temps outside drop below freezing it will get better
but with a I5-2400/HD 6870 and a 1100T/GTx 480 folding in here it gets really hot

 

[doubled]

Yep, I'm back. Got laid off and could not justify the extra 150 a mont h in electric bills. I have 3 560 tis 2 460s 2 470s 2 6870s 2 6790s and 2 7970s. And 4 capable base systems in which to run them. I am going to build a 16 core Intel system as time permits over the next month or so as time allows.

Just default clients. Have no clue what gets what for points at this point, just want to get rolling in a small way. Need to research and optimize. Have finals for one of my last classes next week so time is tight. Might get another machine online tonight after the kiss go to bed and I get my homework done. Any tips based on my
hardware to ramp up ppd?

And King thinks he's chucking out a bit of heat! Good to see you back mate.

Err, I'm pretty sure you're maxed out dude. 😗

 

[king smp]

you might have issues with the 7970s from what i have heard
from what I understand HD 7xxx series doesn't play nice with folding

I am pretty new to folding so not sure if this is right but if you can consolidate GTX 4xx series cards and the 560s into GPU farms on mobos that have enough PCIe slots I think that would be better (ie three 560Tis in one rig with SMP not enabled)

I only have a 6970 and a 7970 running at the moment. Most of the other stuff is idle or on a shelf. I have more I'm sure I forgot about....

I loaded the new wiz-bang unified client last night because I had about 10 minutes to get 2 machines folding. i5 and i7 both running gpu and SMP. GPU (both) is finishing a project every +/- 6 hours, SMP is doing horrible, one was 40% and one was below 10% but that PC was being used for other tasks. I'm guessing I should get rid of the SMP clients? Seems like the ATI cards are holding their own at about 10k each, we'll see.

 

[king smp]

my HD 6870 normally gets around 7-8k in my I5-2400 = Xeon rig
so that sounds about right for those cards
I am glad you got the 7970 running okay since I heard of folders having problems with the 7xxx series cards
guess they updated the client for them

my Xeon HD 6870 rig is having issues
I was only getting about 4k with SMP/GPU folding so I removed the GPU client and now just running on the SMP which right now started at 6.5K

I did try setting the SMP client slot to 2 threads and running the HD 6870 figuring the GPU would have two cores and the SMP slot would have two cores but that didnt work out
the 6870 was getting about 8k in my 1100T rig so if PPD doesnt pick up I might try switching from SMP back to GPU to see if the 6870 will get me more points than the I5-2400 Xeon

 

[king smp]

points dont matter much to me except as an indicator that my CPU or GPU is running efficiently
dont get me wrong the point competition is fun but obviously not the priority

to tell a story
I have been looking into other forums since my time on Toms feels like it is coming to an end for reasons I am not going into
so I signed up at overclock.net
one of the few things keeping me on Toms was Team 40051 and this thread but I did check into OCNs folding team
I learned that compeition is tough over there and that they compete for prizes
also makes the rules real strict on folding
so I was in the process of applying for one of their folding teams then I realized that this wasnt the reason I got into folding
my fiance died August 15th of this year from lymph node cancer so folding like many of us is very personal to me
the money on upgrades,electricity etc is my way of donating to a good cause
so the idea of competiting for prizes by folding to me personally just wasnt what I was into
so yes I almost abadoned Team 40051 but I didnt because I feel you folks over here have a better understanding and reasoning for folding
nothing against OCN folding
in the end they are accomplishing alot of good but my loyalty remains with team 40051

Well thanks for sticking with this team.

Yeah, I never really understood why some teams have strict rules for folding when it's all about finding the cure.

Now I will admit that i do like seeing points but to me the points refer to how well certain hardware is able fold and (used to be anyways) where the most computing power is needed to be at (before they could make WU's work on all platforms). For example, just a year ago, SMP/Bigadv were able the kings and they needed the most computing power at the time. Now it looks like it will shift to gpu's with them being able to do the same work as a cpu.

I am very sorry for your loss. I think we all have a vested interest in this, with loved ones or kids, if there is a chance to do good, I think we should.

 

[EXT64]

Glad you are back doubled. I think that you are really going to like the PPD of your NVidia GPUs once the GPU QRB kicks in. New hardware/realignment of hardware is really hard to guess at this point. A month or two ago it was all about getting a computer with enough cores to fold bigadv. Now with the possibly astronomical points GPUs could possibly maybe (hopefully I've added enough uncertainty qualifiers) get, CPU folding isn't nearly as appealing. I'm not sure that is a good thing for science - hopefully PG knows what they are doing.

Edit - I'd guess those were ATI WUs. I seem to remember one of the ATI WUs being 1835 pts. My memory isn't that great though.

 

[doubled]

I got flexibility in GPUs so whichever is doing better, I can switch out


next one online: i7@ smp 6 thread, and 2 560 ti's estimated @ 67k by the console. Making a LOT OF HEAT

Yep. Folding with my 6850 it was 1835 points every single time.

Welcome back DD

The best PPD GPUs are still Nvidia's if you want to maximize PPD potential.

 

[doubled]

I got issues....computer shuts down after a couple hours, have to cycle the PSU switch off then on and then hit the power button to reboot. So much for my glorious return. Brand New corsair 1050W PSU should be plenty, but I suspect it's letting me down.

Cards are stacked right against each other so top card hits 83C and bottom card runs 63C.

CPU, NB and SB run below 50C.

 

[doubled]

Oh, and both ATI machines have been @ "update core" for 12 hours now. 😱
