honestly thermal throttling should not be possible with the stupid overkill watercooling i put on all these cards.

Actually, Gorgon may be onto something, it may not be whole card being hot, but just a part of it like VRAMs. This would explain the performance loss.

i don't know what else i can try at this point.

If it's only affecting Nvidia cards, try updating to newest drivers and change these settings in Nvidia Control Panel 3D settings:
- Power management mode

- Texture filtering - Quality

- Threaded optimization

If none of those help. Try fiddling with other settings. If even that doesn't help, it's likely WU issues.

very good, hope it doesn’t crash again

It looks like whenever it cools down it crashes. Folding+Gaming it works fine. But if I restart PC and start playing cold, it is highly likely to crash. Same if I stop folding, if it cools down and there are spikes in usage in gaming, there is a likelyhood of crash.

Well, it happened. We are officially no.2

follow up: the new gpu fixed everything 

Damn, I was afraid of that. Looks like I'll have to get rid of this one.

But in the meantime can you unplug the  12v 40 series splitter from your gpu and inspect it. Look for broken/melted pins. If you see dust, clean it. Once you check and nothing looks wrong with the splitter, make sure you plug it all the way in the gpu (i would recommend watching a youtube tutorial). Also it would be helpful if you sent me a photo of the splitter cable.

I inspected it a few weeks ago, nothing broken/melted or dusty. The 12v splitter was brand new and unused. I also made sure it's plugged all the way in (click + extra push just to be safe).

It's been ~36h of no crashes with 24/7 folding. I'll post a picture as soon as it crashes next time.

 If you wish i’ll post an update here saying weither or not the replacement fixed the problem. 

Please do

Hey awesome peps, I have a weird issue since I replaced my GPU so I assume the GPU is where the problem lies, but wanted to ask more experinced people here.

The issue:
At random times PC will completely black out both monitor screens and ramp up all fans to 100%. Sometimes it will happen moments after turning the cold PC, sometimes it will happen after it was idling for hours, and other times it will happen during gaming. While most of the time, it won't happen whole day even if PC works 24/7 (under load (F@H) or not).

What I tried:

• Setting GPU PL to 90, 80, 75 and 65%
• Upgrading to newest GPU and Win10 driver

What I need to try:

• Testing GPU in another system
• Update MOBO bios Already on newest F15 - https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/Z370-AORUS-Gaming-7-rev-10/support#support-dl-bios
• DDU previous GPU driver (RTX 2080 Super)
• Upgrade PSU
  • Replacing GPU 12vhpwr adapter
• Repasting GPU
• Replacing GPU thermal pads

PC specs:

• CPU
  Intel® Core™ i7-8700K
• Motherboard
  Aorus Z370 Gaming 7(rev 1.0)
• RAM
  VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz
• GPU
  RTX 4090 ASUS TUF Gaming
• Case

The event will run from my birthday the 10th for one week, so until the 17th.

Since dates are hard. 7 days (a week) are 10th of January 00:00 to 16th of January at 23:59. Correct?

NICE amount of pages so far in LTT Official Folding Month VI thread.

This is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you very much kind man!

4090 is a bad buy if only for folding btw, most WUs can't utilise it properly so you often don't get all the PPD you should/can get from it. But when you get a golden WU nothing beats it obviously 

It's a buy for personal PC computer, not just for folding. Thanks for info

Okay guys, I pulled the trigger and bought 4090 ASUS TUF. I gotta admit, I am ashamed and happy at the same time.

I have to say that I am not really up to date with 4090 power connector/adapter shenanigans, can anyone tell me if there were different versions of 12VHPWR cable or are they all the same coming from the manufacturer?

Update: It was my tracker blocker.

To register the passkey, I had to disable it temporarily. It could be worth adding that information to the passkey section of this post.

Are you by any chance using ESET antivirus? I just had the same issue and I had to disable Network Attack Protection (IDS)

whats folding? like folding clothes?

I don't know if you are joking or not. If you are - that's a good one!

If you are not, Folding is similar to BOINC but more user-friendly and less configurable way of helping battle diseases:

Do you have this set to yes?

In addition to this, you need to click Update in BOINC manager for the this particular project.

I see in bunkering that somehow there is a setup to download, but not upload.  How do I set that? 

1. BOINC Manager > Options > Computing preferences > Network tab > Limit upload rate = 0.01 KB/s

I am having trouble making an yoyo account through BOINC manager, other projects seem to work fine. Anyone having the same issue?

 

Figured out what the issue is. My version of BOINC manager wasn't supporting yoyo and integrated BOINC manager update checker wasn't working.

Manually updating the manager fixed it.
