Hi All, I am participating in the October FAH competition and I have been struggling for close to a week with low PPD #s that come on after weeks of solid PPD and have not corrected themselves in time or regardless of new jobsr. My stats and some history. Rig 1 - 8x GPUs, i7 6700k - Was getting 1.8 - 2.2 mil PPD, now topping out around 600k PPD Rig 2 - 2x GPUs, celeron g3930 - Was getting a stable 600k PPD, now topping out around 15k PPD Rig 3 - 1x GPU, Ryzen 2700x I had a 10 GPU mining rig. I installed a 6700k here to add more cores, and removed two GPUs and added them to a secondary miner chassis that has a G3930. This should be providing 1 thread per GPU on each device. While I do not expect this to be optimal, I have been getting relatively stable speeds (600k from the 2GPU system, 2mil-ish from the 8 GPU system). I then have a third rig (my gaming system) with a 5700 XT that is running along just fine (no issues, ranging 800k - 1.1 mil PPD). From my reading, I expect each RX 580 to get 300-450k PPD, but I have not be able to verify this outside of anecdotal reports via forum posts. Here is what has happened: Rig #1 (The 8x GPU system) and even worse, Rig #2 (the 2x GPU system) are crawling and have been for days. The 2x rig is barely getting 15k PPD (this is only like 1% of what I would expect from 2x 580s) and the 8x rig is getting around 600k (much better, but I've been getting around 2-2.5 million for weeks now regardless of job. I leave them both on "Any" in regards to type of work they are allowed to do, so I know my PPD will fluctuate, but they seem to have 'crashed' now regardless of job. I have tried canceling/deleting jobs, forcing them to only do specific job types, rebooting, messing with page file and RAM amounts, try running only 1-4 GPUs (to free up more CPU cores) and verify if PPD-per-GPU goes up (it did not). CPU on both systems are never maxed out, and I believe that while the optimal setup is 1 core per GPU, CPU usage seems well within the limits on both systems. I'm sure that CPU is bottlenecking my overall MAX PPD, but up until now I have been getting relatively stable numbers that were much higher than what I have been seeing the last week. There only seems to be a few posts from people over the years regarding low PPD, so I've found relatively little that I can do. The main thing people bring up is running a username + PPD, which I am and have verified is in place on all 3 rigs. I'm at wits end about what to do, and reaching out for any assistance that the community can provide. I started here as I feel the LTT FAH forums may in fact be the most active FAH community on the net. Thanks for your time.

folding@home Need help to start folding!
SethK posted a topic in Folding@home, Boinc, and Coin Mining
Well, I have an rx480, its coming up with" gpu 0 not detected: failed to see dyamic library "nvcuda.dll". no idea what i can do to fix it. lemme know if you need any more info to help figure out! -
Hey guys, It's been a really long time since I've done any folding, and COVID has convinced me to get back into it! Right now I'm just running it on my laptop, but I'm going to try to get my desktop shipped back from college soon so I'll be able to use that as well. I remember last time I would have issues getting any kind of work units to the GPUs for whatever reason--they wouldn't update unless I uninstalled and reinstalled the client. Anyway, when I downloaded the client the GPU got a unit right away and the CPU has gotten nothing recently. I was wondering why that was the case? Are the servers with projects waiting to be completed just empty? Is there any way for me to check on that? Thanks in advance!

Hi, i want to fold on my TR 3990X workstation, while some cores are idle (happening a lot at the moment). However, i can only get 30 cores to work. Also, i only get like 3 WUs per day. Another problem i have is, that i don't get any WUs whatsoever for my two quadro fx 4800. (Have thrown them in for now, because i don't really do GPU intensive tasks, but GPU folding brings more points =D).

I've been using the folding at home and giving my points to linus tech tips so what are the points good for?

So I recently built my computer, and I'm 13, so I'm pretty new to this stuff. I did my research for about 6 months before building my PC, so I have a good handle on things. I recently got folding at home due to a recommendation from a friend. I am at about 525k points, but I noticed something. Whenever I try to pause my work, the estimated points and PPD will decrease at a rate of about 8 points per second. Therefore, if I shut it off for the night, I lose 50k points on a project I was already working on. I have tried setting it to light instead of pausing it, but it causes the same issue, except only for GPU folding. System Specs: i5 6500, RX 470 ARMOR OC (left at stock), CX550M, 1TB Seagate SSHD, 2x4 Patriot Viper Elite Memory, MSI B150M Mobo Is anyone else having this problem? I don't want to leave my computer running 24/7 for power/heat reasons. If there is a fix to this?

Hey all, iv had a problem recently where despite removing the cpu slot, the cpu is still ramping up and working at ~100% load. I have reinstalled and tried fiddling with slots. But to no avail. Is this a known bug? Or am I missing something. Not it that I also added abscond GPU without drivers, if this has something to do with it. And I'm being ignorant. Many thanks.

Does anyone else think that Luke should do another folding video? I think if they had extra server space, they could make a decent killing in views and ad money by making a balls to the wall cpu and gpu folding machine.

Hey guys ! I am having several problems with FaH recently... 1) The 375.xx drivers from Nvidia don't let FaH take control of the card and it keeps failing. 2)The advanced control panel keeps saying "connecting" but the web control panel seems to work... Can someone help me?

I've been folding on my CPU and it works beautifully, and I set it to 2 cores so I can run it while I'm doing anything non-CPU intensive, then up to all 4 cores when it's idle. I want to fold with my GPU, however, it gets a bit too hot and loud for my liking when it's constantly 100% stressed. Is there a way to use only a portion of GPU power to fold, so I can reduce thermals and noise a little?
-
Just used the uninstaller to remove it as the folding wasn't starting on my cpu and was going to try a re-install to see if it fixes it. I also checked the box to remove data. The uninstaller seemed to have taken this as permission to DELETE MY ENTIRE DOCUMENTS FOLDER, WTF!!! Couldn't even stop the uninstall with right click and close, but I didn't try using end task and it was too late by that point anyway. So I am now currently running a recovery program to try and get all my files and save games back. Hopefully I will be able to get everything back. Rather furious right now

Hi Everyone, I just started folding recently and haven't had any problems until this morning. I have one WU that failed to send its results back to the collection server. When looking at the unit, there is no collection server listed: Is there a way to fix this? Thanks for your help.

So guys, I have both a gtx 970 and 960 laying around. But my board only have a 16x and single 1x slot. I couldn't find to much to know if a riser would work with FAH so I got one anyway to try. Note this isn't a permanent set up. Also can I use a 960 as phyx on 1x?

I recently joined the Folding@home and try to help as much as I can. I installed FAH as usual, but after a few hours I keep pressing fold on the GPU but the CPU is the only one working My GPU statuses are marked READY but they are not even 1% utilized GPU1: Vega 8 GPU2: RX 480

I installed FAH this morning and I set it to always on. When I came home this afternoon none of the FAH clients let me see what I had accomplished or do anything. While this has been going on it's still going full bore on my CPU, I've tried to upgrade and uninstall but it's stuck on shutting down any local clients. I've tried to stop it through task manager and rebooting the PC.

Hey all, Just got into the folding scene and trying to figure some stuff out. When I first installed FAH it would not start a GPU project and was stuck in READY while trying to repeat/start a project. Reinstalled FAH and now it is running the GPU instead of being stuck in Ready mode. The problem is the speed at which it is running. FAH is set to full, but the GPU is sayin 1.11+ days (sometimes up to 5 days) and not even touching my GPU utilization. The Estimated TPF (time per fold?) is bounding anywhere from an hour to ~15 mins. I'm using CUPID HWMonitor to check loads, therms, etc. and the GPU is running around 8-12%. What is going on here? Will this correct itself or is there a setting I need to change?
-
I think I would be really neat and kind of fun to be able to have our FAH activity listed on our profile, maybe somewhere near where the badges are. This display could be enabled in the profile settings if a particular person wanted to share their information. I think it would be a fun way for people who like to fold to stay motivated. https://stats.foldingathome.org/api I'm told this would probably be up to IP Board but I thought I would throw this out there anyway.
