Seasonal heating with Folding is quite common among many of us!

That looks to be one of them...

This topic, although valid and being left up, has the potential to get very out of hand, so we, the mod team, have decided to lock it at this point.

Just one thing I will add to this, I found this out this week building a 2016 Server - most backup software has no support yet for 2016, period. We use Altaro Backup (check it out, free to back up to guests) and they are saying no support till at least end of December. I checked the Veeam site as well and nothing listed either in regards to support for 2016 yet. I installed Altaro, thinking it can't be much different than 2012 R2, would still work, just not official supported. Altaro won't even recognize that Hyper-V is installed on my 2016 box.

Linux/Ubuntu if just doing CPU folding. If you want to do GPU folding instead, or as well, you need Windows.

I just noticed, that server isn't even listed on the status page for some reason. You said you have uninstalled before. Do you also select the option to delete Work Units, then reboot before you re-install? Not sure why it is trying to go to that server. You might also want to reboot your router. BTW - what DNS server is your computer using? If it is using you local router, what DNS is it using? The ISP DNS? Maybe try changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and see if that helps.

8800 series are no longer supported.

You uploaded your WU to a different serve than what you are downloading from. If DNS works, like it shows above, and nothing has changed locally, then it has to be your ISP. If on a VPN it works fine, which pretty much bypasses any blocking your ISP is doing, then it's something the ISP is doing when not on one. I assume this is for a GPU WU? Which card do you have? Is it OC'ed at all?

I am locking this thread due to the discussion type. To note - any medium supplied by a school, or business for that matter, is their property and such, they have every legal right to install whatever monitoring software they like on it and report everything you do. In addition, equipment provided to minors must have the capabilities to track and block them from going to various types of sites, etc. regardless of the location. The discussion of trying to get around or otherwise avoid the legitimate monitoring of your activity is akin to hacking and as such, this type of discussion will not be allowed.

Exactly - you can do this. Shortly though you'll stop getting QRB's which will impact your score more than anything. And if continued, yes, your IP will be banned.

Also just to update some folks on this type of thing... Because freenas would be controlling your raid, in the BIOS you will always see it listed as separate drives. Same for many DIY NAS units, like unraid, etc. The onboard RAID on intel motherboards (available on most consumer PC's) stores the config in BIOS. So, if the battery dies while the computer if unplugged, or the mobo gets fried, etc, RAID config gone. Older RAID cards also worked like this (Esp Dell and IBM) storing the info on flash on the card. If the card died, the array was poof. Hence why many older servers used redundant RAID cards. Funny, using redundant array cards to protect your Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Almost all new "server grade" RAID cards store the information for the entire RAID set on each disk drive in the array. Hence how you can move drives around and everything still works. Note, I do NOT recommend that. Finally, a reminder - RAID do NOT equal backups. Even with modern hardware, it it easy for a raid card to fry and wipe all your data. I have seen it, Linus has seen it. Don't forget to backup that critical data.

Completely useless comment and not even close to correct. A custom loop will typically cool better and quieter than any custom AiO. (Better being a graduated thing where 2 to 3 degrees gain is considered good). As well, a custom loop is a LOT more expandable and has a ton more options and looks a hell of a lot better. To OP - all your choices are fine. First off, plan for extra fittings, when putting together, you will find out things don't run the way you want. I few 45' fittings are great. I hardly ever use 90's, typically 45's. 360mm rad should be fine as long as you not doing any serious OC'ing. Blocks and such are fine. Typically no one block out performs any other by more than a degree. Mostly just about looks. Pumps, but the DDC and D5 are fine. Great pumps. Personally, the D5 PWM version and that will run a bit quieter. Overall, good pic, don't forget about tubing. And you typically don't need to by extra plugs. The res will typically come with plugs for all ports except two, your in and out. You pick which ones you use and plug the rest. A drain can be a nice extra to have.

If you don't have something positive to add, please don't bother with negative comments, or spend some time to explain your point. Please remove the link to your YouTube channel. This is not allowed as per the Community Standards. Thanks! We do have a basic intro into mining pinned, but this is pretty much a dead subject now for most as it isn't profitable to the general user.

No fix for this, but typically I do not run the visualization or otherwise use the FAH screensaver. They use a bunch of resources that actually take a bit away from the Folding. I just use a screen blank screensaver to maximize Folding.

Good to see so many teams still contributing a LOT of the whole project. LTT Team still cranking out over 30 Million PPD.

And just to follow up, there is no way to exclude or otherwise influence what work units you might, or might not, get.

When someone gets to that, we would like to make a badge for that as well.

Fixed issue with Badges not being displayed properly and new level added - Platinum.

I have moved this to the storage section. Also though, you need a LOT more information around this informative stream. As posted, it seems like nothing more than an ad, which you are not allowed to do here. However, if this stream was more informational, and you posted some more text explaining the who/what/where/when and why about it, basically a nice summary of the video, then folks could choose to view it or not. But as is, pretty much an ad.

Locked - seems like nothing more than Flame Bait - DO NOT start similar posts @PaulKolby !

CPU folding still isn't the greatest. You generate points but not huge. If you want to fold on CPU I would recommend the Chrome client and just crank out a huge number of WU's...
