It's up and running  

 

This is the garden storage cupboard I was converting last year when I ran out of time/motivation/summer. Exterior has been painted white to reflect the sun. I've drilled 6 holes, two top, 4 bottom, for ventilation. Top holes have fans on them, but not currently powered. I'm digging through my bits bin for some suitable cables now.

 

The power and ethernet cables just pass through a crack in the door, as well as similar on my lock-open windows. My garden where this is kept is enclosed so risk of theft is low.

 

I haven't implemented rain or bug resistance yet. No rain forecast until Friday so I have a little time... there is a small crack in the door surround. I'm not concerned about the vent holes as I do have covers on those.

I'm thinking of running ethernet and power to my Garden Shed for folding in the winter. I have plastic conduit plumbed to it already and in the winter when its -20C I imagine GPU boost would like that on my air-cooled cards.

Just remember to set the GPU fans manually or else they'll just slow down to crap and it'll get just as hot.

Yup - I always use manual fan control as the automatic isn't optimal with dual GPU systems. I have a Zabbix server running on a VM and use that to collect trends on the systems.

 

I'll probably have to set manual speeds on the chassis as the BIOS fan curves will likely puke if the thermal sensors on the motherboard start reporting negative temperatures!

I was thinking the same, except I don't have a shed. This is the mini version.  Ok, we don't get -20C here either... coolest I remember seeing is around -4C in daytime.

 

I never got a fan working as the PSU only has SATA connectors, and all my fan cables are molex. I'm wondering what temps will do tomorrow. Since setting up, hottest core hit 54C. Intel rate a case temp of 77C which seem a bit low to me, but that still gives me over 20C headroom for daytime so I think I'll be ok...

If we know VM virtualbox isn't required for the Sprint what jobs are we suppose to have the clients work on? These seem like the options:

SixTrack
sixtracktest
CMS Simulation
Theory Simulation
ATLAS Simulation
Theory Native

Any idea what ones?

Sixtrack usually the best one to get as it don't require vBox.

 

Anyway, toasty as usually down here.    What most folks would call Summer, it be early Spring for Florida.

Darn it, humidity going back up by the weekend.

Anyone else seeing low GPU wattage on Einstein compared to Folding?

 

GTX 1060 6B 95W 1999MHz 75C (folding: 123W)

GTX 1060 6B 95W 2012MHz 70C (folding: 123W)

GTX 1070 Ti  127W 1999MHz 60C (folding: 160W)

GTX 1660 Ti  95W  2025MHz  64C (folding: 120W)

RTX 2060     122W 2025MHz 57C (folding: 165W)

RTX 2070     160W 2040MHz 68C (folding: 180W)

 

I'm only running 1 WU per GPU and all the GPU utilizations are at 98-99%

[Ithanul]

E@H don't hit near as hard as F@H.

 

Note sure about PrimeGrid though.  I just know if I run that one.  Sauna level heat in my room big time.

PRIMEgrid is definitely one that tests your thermal layout.

I wouldn't try multiple wu with the 1060, I didn't gain any time and used up an extra thread to run it.  Not sure about your other cards though

Yeah, back when I had the two BIOS modded GTX980Tis in a loop crunch PrimeGrid, I had water temps get into the 30C range (not good for the pump).

So update on the 7950.

 

Stock clocks are 850/925mhz core/boost and 1200 on the mem.

 

Now got her up to...

 

1125mhz on the core and 1300 on the mem. spitting out WUs at around 12:35-12:45, not bad. 

I can get no where near that with 7850  I am at roughly an hour a pop with 1000 on core and 1300 on memory.  your 7950 is a beast!

@leadeaterIf you're still having problems running BOINC Manager remotely on your fire-walled systems I found this post which suggests you need to

Nah I got it working, didn't have remote management enabled. The firewall problem is actual datacenter firewalls, Fortigate, that don't allow my desktop to talk to them over the BOINC management port. I just made a few of the BOINC servers Windows as there is no firewall between servers within the same segment and manage them from those.

@Ben Quigley @Ithanul

Just released my NFS WUs

Yeah, RDP to a Windows GUI is probably a whole lot easier than SSH.

 

Be nice to people who manage Fortigate firewalls in Data Centres.  Just follow the change process and we’re usually happy I think what you need is to submit a CR for a Dev/Test environment isolated from production

At 99% utilization and all the other issues I’m having I’ll just leave them at 1.0 for another day before they go back to folding

It is, that's why I can't talk to them

I tossed in most of my hardware towards Zika a couple of days ago and started Einstein on one machine earlier. My main machine with my Vega 56 didn't like Einstein in Linux though, which is where on spend most of my time.

 

Ryzen 1600 in my main machine going to Zika.

 

Ryzen 2400G in an off machine also going towards Zika.

 

i7 6700 with some spare GPUs going to Zika and Einstein. AMD RX480 and Nvidia GTX 750ti.

 

edit:

Also got an old Android phone and my current Android phone going to Zika too.

I realized I have an olderish Android phone, I should stick that on Zika also. I got my main PC which has an R5 1600 running Zika along with my HP notebook that I installed Ubuntu on also running Zika. The notebook takes longer of course but I don't mind. Usually I'll leave it running overnight when I'm asleep and my main PC is not powered on. 

[Egg-Roll]

Update on the server progress found a spot for it sadly ran out of time to complete the setup, what's left is raising the board plug in fans etc, maybe 30 minutes and I should have it running. 

 

But I've ran into a snag maybe @leadeater can help with, I can't seem to find out how to power the thing on, it has intels Auxiliary Power Signal connector but I've not found anything else let alone how to power it on. I have the standard power on/off reboot connectors (or a screwdriver). The board is Intel S5520HC and I do see a triangle sitting above the connector, so I'm assuming that meets up with mine to power on? That is the only unknown I know of right now

Family: You'll love it down there.

Me: I would F***ing die down there from the humidity alone!

I have 3 of these  I'll see how I can help you out soon. I don't believe anything specially is actually required, just need make sure all the correct power cables are connected and right ram slots and it 'should' power on.

We need a lot more output on NFS/Javelin

@Ben Quigley I can move 14 threads from zika over to it if that would matter

[Windows7ge]

Found some 92mm & 80mm Delta fans. They won't be nearly as aesthetically appealing as the Noctua fans (the goal isn't style points anyways) but they'll move significantly more air. I may have to plug them into the motherboard or some other controller if they're too loud which 45dBA is going to be not exactly quiet.

[leadeater]

We need to raise out NFS hourly output to 35,000 which is 20,000 more than what we're doing to keep our 8th place potential.

 

Edit:

I've moved pretty much everything I have, including my PC, over to NFS. Will know in about 2 hours if it's enough.

[porina]

I messed up, didn't realise NFS was now so crunchers didn't get switched over, and I wont have a chance to until it is too late. More WCG will be done though.

 

Garden cruncher still going. Hottest core hit 56C when I left house. I don't have remote monitoring set up so wont know how hot it really gets until I get home.

I think we're going to be fine, can't afford to let the WCG gap grow either.
