anyone here folding on a GTX 780? looking to see what kind of power draw it would do

 

no clue but I have a Alienware m17x R5 with a GTX 980m and it runs off of a 240 watt power supply

 

so I would say 100 watt max for the gpu

i see. that' s pretty decent . i assume vram amount really doesn't affect ppd/performance then ?! 

 

Not at all. Folding doesn’t use VRAM

mobile variants draw much less power, TDP for the 780 is 250W

Nope it is up

I'm folding with a GTX 760 which has 170W TDP but when folding it only uses about 55% of the TDP according to GPU-Z. The whole system only takes 250W from the wall when folding. It has an i5-3450 @ 3.7GHz, the GTX 760 and GT 430

The ridiculous thing is that wire sizes in North America go to a different unit above 0000 gauge -- kcmils, which despite sounding kind of metric is thousands of circular mils-- and mils are thousandths of an inch in US parlance.  In Canada if we have to use thousandths of an inch, we call them "thous" at least.  Metric is used universally in official weights and measures here, but colloquially it's a mixed bag.  In trades (such as construction) it's rarely used.

 

Oh in reference to the receptacles, it's 12 AWG copper wire to the 20A as per electrical code.  If it were a really long run, I might have used 10 AWG, but the plug is less than 20cm from my workshop circuit breaker panel.

The gaming-server PC I still need a better motherboard any ideas

Nice I'm at 70 WUs

Site is working but seems like my points/WU are not updating. 

[Gamerx007]

finally

Does anyone know what could be causing these dips in GPU Usage?  They happen about 2/minute.  At first, I thought it might be thermal throttling, so I changed the fan profile to a higher curve...but it's still happening..

 

Radeon 5700xt.  The only thing running on this machine is f@h... the 2 dips after that were probably me starting up snipping tool in windows and capturing the graph...

My Vega56 and RX 580 are also doing this, I think it's probably normal and may be the task pausing for a moment to save state or do some kind of redundancy check?

I can't get over how cool I've got my Vega Frontier Edition running.  Granted, the fan is incredibly loud, but still.  200+ watts and staying under 60C on a stock cooler is pretty good in my book.

And I had to underclock a GTX 470 to keep it at ~91C when folding

My Vega56 Nitro+ LE runs very cool and very quiet and is running around 190-195W currently, not running it as fast or with as low volts as I probably could for sake of stability. I'm running around 60C at around 1400-1450 RPM on the fans. Massive cooler on that thing though, you might want to invest in a better cooler. I'm running around 1540-1570mhz because Vega boost clocks are weird, core volts are at 1125.

A very cool update on the covid 19 ventilator repair 

 

their is hope 

 

I just hope that I am allowed to post this here

Ugh, mils is evil.  When I was doing my mech tech, our shop instructor used mils properly (as you'd expect), but our CAD professor used it as shorthand for millimeters.  Sadly it kinda infected me too, I have to fight against it.

I'm like 98% sure that's F@H doing its "checkpoint" saves.  It should be every 15 minutes by default.

I think it's 15 minutes by default.

Right you are!

[El_Psy_CoNGR00]

checkpoints are indeed set to 15 min intervals by default

[hydrochloric]

So close, gotta keep pushing to break into the 2k's!

 

Also it looks like the LTT team has settled into a daily rate of around 4.2B
