Awesome dedication!
Super fun and inspireing to see how this (un-) folds 

Well, well, well.  Finally passed 5 Billion points.
 

November 1st, will be 5 weeks

Alright guys, so heres the plan, I'm going looking after my brothers twins for the afternoon, then we will come back and my partner is going to stream. After that I will try to get the post done this evening. 

Getting mostly alzheimer's and cancer. 1 3080 chilling at 70%PL and churning about 14WUs / 6Mpt per day.

Much, thank you.
 
Just run them as separate cards.

Im in! if everything goes as plan i will have a RTX A4000 to add to the folding-pool 🙂

Make sure you all say thank you to this guy for his offer of a Ifixit kit as a prize to all ranks

Nope, still not seeing any but I have noticed a 10-15% uptick in PPD but still 10-15% lower than when the moonshots were running. I suspect that it's a combination of they've just finally finished pre COVID projects that were paused and likely weren't built with the new optimized CUDA libraries and that there were a lot of small atom WUs and/or ones with lower than normal PPD that made it through Beta without being flagged.
 
It's seeming that the COVID WUs are likely gone for good. Post Era seems to indicate they are ready to go to Human Trials for the COVID Anti-Viral which is exciting news.

So I'm running a bit behind schedule with the summer sprint due to my charity needing much more of my time. Expect the announcement for the event sometime this week though! 

Luck and availability of COVID WUs.
 
It appears the latest COVID Moonshot is almost completed which is good news.

While we see a general decline in participation in Folding@Home coinciding with delivery of vaccinations we have to remember that though the first world countries are approaching "Herd Immunity" the third world is far behind and eliminating this threat will require a Global response.
 
What Folding@Home is working on is the groundwork for developing an AntiViral Drug to eliminate COVID rather than a Vaccine targeted at the latest Variants requiring boosters as new Variants emerge and the immune response wanes. Such a drug would be Open Source and available as a pill and not require special storage and could be the "Magic Bullet" for elimination of COVID and other SARS,
 
Here is an interesting read on the Moonshot in Nature.

Core clocks, memory make little appreciable difference as Folding uses next to no VRAM. However, game stable is a lot different than folding stable.  I’ve had a graphics clock overclock that was stable for months start causing the occasional error and when that happens any slight gain from over clocking gets negated really quickly.
 
As soon as you start looking at efficiency then running your card at the lowest power limit makes the most sense.
 
Typically I run at the lowest power limits during the summer with a 50-75MHz overclock. Winter I run at about 20% above the minimum which is ever so slightly less efficient but yields almost a proportionate increase in PPD.

I managed to get a 3090 K|ngp|n hydro copper with a pile of stacked discounts that worked out to being only $1823.34 USD for the card direct from EVGA. I am curious how much higher its performance will be vs a 3090FE and also vs two 2080 (not supper not ti). I hope it out performs the pair of 2080's for F@H since those are going to get sold off. I am closing in on Mythic status, it will be sad that we are losing some pillars at the same time I am getting so close but such is life. 
I post in Reddit about once every 2 months with pictures or a short video of my build since it has a lot of visual appeal and I talk about using it for F@H, and I always get people responding how to get involved in the program etc. Drumming up participation is one of the most powerful things you can do if you have the time. It looks that it will have been right about a year and a half of pushing my machines to hit Mythic assuming the pace stays the same at ~60M per week in windows.
 

IM BACK! Hey Everyone!

After a while of beeing gone im back to folding again.


Hope to join up for the next event.

I have some new hardware too that is pretty fun to play around with 🙂

 
Take care!

every time i try to do Boinc somthing goes bad, like i have never manage to run it more then once, i can istall run the client and after a reboot never reconnect.. F@H just works 🙂
 

That is amazing! Good job man!

I wanted to share a big development in my life with all of my fellow folders.
 
I don't normally share things like this because it always seems like bragging or something, but all of your collective positivity over the past year that I have been part of the group has really helped me so...
 
I am a medical physicist. Our job is to perform quality assurance on linear accelerators used for radiation cancer treatments, generate said treatment plans, and provide technical assistance in the treating of the patients receiving those treatments. My training included going to grad school for my master's degree (after leaving my high school teaching position of 10 years), followed by a 2-year residency, and a 3 part board exam process culminating in a 3+ hour oral exam. In the midst of all that, my wife and I moved three times, bought our first house, had two daughters, and braved a global pandemic.
 
I am happy to say that I recently found out that I passed my oral exam on the first try and am now officially a Diplomat of the American Board of Radiology (DABR).
 
As I said before, thank you all for your positivity and comradery over the past year. Without knowing it, you all offered me a respite from things and helped me maintain some semblance or sanity. I'm happy to call you all friends.
 
Cheers and fold on!
