log into your account here, https://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo/home.php or create an account with the project here on the boinc manager then log in.. Make sure to set your team to LTT. 

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

bunkering???

Bunker Technique

An advance technique used during the Pentathlon to hold a large amount of WUs (Work Units) before a discipline start date.

I'll be participating but will probably not do any bunkering.

Thats probably the best idea. Think this is about as much as I can squeeze out of this without overclocking. Not sure if posting screenshots is the best media choice so I threw it into imgur. Hopefully the link works lmao

If you like higher PPD numbers, I highly advise disabling your CPU slot as it can do more harm than good when it comes to PPD.

If you like the amount of WUs that you do, then feel free to leave it chugging.

Anyone on here folding with an overclocked 2070 Super and wants to share their overclock settings?

PL to 60-80%
MC and CC on default
You won't lose much (if any) points but you will spend much less electricity.

I've had the same issue on my old network. Your IP may have been blacklisted by their firewall.

Three possible solutions if that's the case:

1. Contact them (there should be an email somewhere and fix can take up to a month but usually happens within a week)

2. Use VPN

3. Use different network
 

I am looking for inspiration for multiple GPU folding rigs. Anyone keen on sharing pictures of 3+ cards in their rigs? I'd love to see some!

I reread the review, they forced closed Chrome. Depending on how one does it you'll lose tabs either way. 

I've had my Chrome force closed many times, if it was a normal tab, I can always reopen it with CTRL+SHIFT+T. I've never lost OneTab tabs by either force closing Chrome, restarting PC while it's open or anything else. 

I've suggested OneTab to many people, none have had this occurrence that you are describing. Nor have I ever heard of it happening to anyone.

Nonetheless, you do you.

Apparently tabs may be lost upon crashing, no thanks. Thank you for the suggestion however.

Never heard or experienced crashing where it would lose tabs. I still have about 1000 tabs dating back to January 2019.

If Chrome crashes, you can just CTRL+SHIFT+T to open same tabs again, but OneTab has never crashed before for me so I am unsure what you are talking about.

However my Chrome Tabs seem to be procreating... Memory sitting at 50% still

Try OneTab extension. It changed my life.

I've never let my laptop's GPU stay at even 70c before this, but it's what's needed for the fold!

 

Why is your CV, PL, TL and Fan speed greyed out?

Are they not adjustable on that laptop?

So, I had a train of thought, and it lead me to this question (Note: This is literally entirely based on my knowledge of crypto mining, so I could be really really wrong): If a GPU is more powerful than a CPU in F@H, implying that F@H benefits from the parallization offered by GPUs, and seeing it has a relatively low VRAM requirement, Would it be possible to create and FPGA, and subsequently an ASIC, solely for F@H?

Possible, but not probable.

F@H won't even run on all OS/GPUs as it should. So developing and making FPGA or ASIC would be very costly and with no real ROI.

Not really the best investment looking objectively.

A fan from my 2080 Super Twin decided it's done. It's no longer working and it comes off really easy - almost surely something broke. I am RMA-ing the card locally as it should still be in warranty.

If they decline it, I will have to get the whole shroud for it somewhere as the fans are not replaceable on their own.

I had it checkpointing every 15 minutes, far less frequently than the frequency of temperature fluctuations, and the GPU was running at 50W for some reason. The GPU and memory clockspeeds stayed constant throughout the entire process, so I don't think thermals or checkpoints would have accounted for the pattern I saw.

Just as @cbigfoot and I've mentioned, it's fan curve. Possible it's default one. You can set it yourself or use static fan speed as I do once you learn what temps your GPU reaches at what PL % during which workload.

For some reason, Folding@Home has made my 1660 Ti's temperatures fluctuate quite regularly. It's not affecting PPD or anything, but it's quite strange.

 

It's more likely that those dips are checkpoints for F@H or it's just your fan curve that causes those fluctuations. If you set it at static % fan speed, check again and see if it fluctuates.

I started to notice more and more user joining events and purposefully only gunning for the min requirements and nothing more, which is why the min requirements have been steadily increases over the years. 

 

P.S. these are the exact same min requirements as last years folding sprint 

My mind is playing tricks on me then. I didn't know there was so many giveaway hunters....

Tnx for info.

@GOTSpectrum messed up the dates again  when he 1st posted the event dates. The post was corrected and the dates for the event are - 

 

Starts September 10th(00:00 BST) and ends September, 16th (23:59 BST)

 

I think they did get shorter. I do not remember having to fold at least one WU for 5 days for 6 day event.

On that front, I have no idea why the Einstein tasks stick around at 99% for so long before closing. It's a mystery to me.

They do not stick. They get STUCK. Only way to get them through is to suspend the task, let other task come to 99% and then I suspend those and resume previous. And even then, it's like lottery if they will even move.

This is showing as using "0.9CPUs" because a certain amount of CPU power needs to be reserved to actually run/feed data to your GPU, not because you're getting CPU tasks. Folding@Home does exactly the same thing - but it reserves two cores per GPU instead of less than one.

Even if I suspend all CPU tasks and let a single 0.9CPU 0.5GPU task go from 0-100% it will get stuck at 99% and it will use at most 10% of my CPU for it.

Yeah guys, you are on your own with Einstein. I am not gonna bother with this. Way too much hassle for too small gain.

This is dumb:
