The Tom's Hardware F@H Team Thread (Team 40051)

Hehe... at least I reconfirmed that my R9 290's watercooling is good enough that I can't hear whether it's under load.

Liquid cooling the 290 seems like a good call! Before my, uh..nontraditional cooling solution..was applied, I wasn't sure which were going to explode first - my ear drums or the GPU fans.

Hey team!

New editor of TH, John Burek, here.

It looks, alas, like we are getting thrashed at the moment by Team AT. (And this with our 11-GPU mining rig that I had our mother company's lab fire up on behalf of Team TH to try and close up the gap.)

Stats at: http://tastats.atspace.cc/ta-th-18/

If we start closing the gap I suspect Ryan and Team AT will roll out their Titan V and other cards so let's get folding! Good luck.

 

[Sakkura]

Our PPD did take a noticeable jump at least.

 

[EXT64]

Nice work John, great addition! It is unfortunate that we are woefully outmatched again this year. I guess we need to get our recruiting experts going again.

 

[Jsimenhoff]

I have a feeling we will revisit this competition at the end of the year.

Hi all

Long time no post...

Been having more children and stuff

Looks like the team is thriving, I think Sailor had just joined last time I was doing anything...

Planning on firing up a few guns but need some new ammo so might need to ask a few questions..

Hope everyone is well.. looking forward to mooning a few people (specially The Mouse)

P.S> That 11 gpu setup......yum

 

[AliusBU]

Thanks for the support John! Even if we get thrashed, it's all for a good cause

 

[ThePretzelGuy_jr]

Well been so long I forgot how to post

Thing above looks suspiciously like a mining rig
turn it on!

Well I moved from michigan where it was cool enough to fold to SoCal. Electric prices way to high for folding and wife wonders why house is up to 80F.

trying to help for the "Chimp-Challenge"-2018 but can't afford to run past the week, sorry guys

 

[beanoslim]

^HaHa

Know the feeling...

 

[10esseetony]

Oh my gawd, you're cheating John! Actually there was no mention of not using company property this time around, initially. Ah well, we at AnandTech don't care (too much), in fact, I'm here to point out some things to get your ppd up on that mining rig....

In my personal tests, anything less than a 4x PCIe v2.0 slot, and your points plummet in a hurry. Also, you need one thread/core per GPU.

And a passkey, you got a passkey?

I'm guessing those cards are all 1x, and you have one, maybe two MB's under all that goodness with a dual core CPU(s).

 

[beanoslim]

So I have a little 980ti running atm but the ppd seem low compared to last time round.

Is it just core 21 wu's or do I need any flags?

ATM is only producing around 400k :/

 

[EXT64]

They do vary, but they shouldn't be consistently low. What Projects have you run so far?

 

[beanoslim]

Project 94** mostly

400k for a 980ti is low though?

Whats the ppd like for 1070 / 1070ti / 1080 / 1080ti??

I was just getting ready to moon you myself.
my 1070 goes between 550,00o to 650,000 on some of the new work units.
Don't have any of the other cards.

Welcome back.

Why do you think I fired up

Thanks mate

 

[Wisecracker]

If my math is correct, total output has increased nearly 50% this week.

Great job, THG!

I'm running two 980Tis
+the i7 cpu
cpu project 8659 TPF 2min 01sec ppd 25101
gpu project 9414 TPF 1min 43sec ppd 279552
gpu project 11713 TPF 2min 42 sec ppd 535531

I seem to be averaging 750-800K/day
so you are about right

I have forgotten what to do to modify the slot configuration
you guys have any suggestions???

both cards running w/o OC ~1329/1652 @75-80C
GPU load~90-95%
70-75 TDP power

cpu temps in the 80-85C range; got up to 90 last night when I turned the room fan off by mistake

wife keeps wondering why the room is at 80F
so far she thinkin' its the bright sunlight

279k on a 980ti is pants, I'm getting that on my 970 @1400mhz.

Currently I have a 980ti on a 9415 (1576, 4, 274) for 465k and the 970 on a 9431 (1184, 2, 486) for 265k

CONFIGURE / SLOTS / PICK A GPU / EXTRA SLOT OPTIONS /ADD

Then in the top box type client-type

In the lower box type advanced or beta

I'm on advanced atm but not sure its making much difference.

Have you left a couple of cores free for your gpu's?

 

[Sakkura]

There seems to be a general issue of lower PPD for some cards with 9414 and 9415 WUs.

[beanoslim]

Yeah I've picked up a 11713 (5, 1, 134) and its 560k ppd.

Wow, cant believe I've been gone a year, got my comeback kid badge to prove it :lol:

 

[10esseetony]

Good showing folks, perhaps next time we can have a bit more notice, and you will all have picked up some surplus mining 1080Ti's for cheap once this dag-nabbed mining bubble bursts (again).

Mine gave up complaining years ago. or my hearing went selective ?????
I ran an extra ac vent in the office when we rebuilt,2 near her desk now, so summer temps will be better.
The slight hum of air movement seems so peaceful and relaxing.

 

[EXT64]

Nice thinking, however now that you told us, no excuses come summer

 

[beanoslim]

EXT if your sig is correct what sort of ppd does your Ryzen and your 1080ti get??

 

[EXT64]

Around 900k-1.2m on the 1080ti and 50-70k (in Windows, sometimes higher I think) on the Ryzen. My brother is steward of those so I don't have exact numbers.
