Lol, I would never even jokingly ask for money to resolve a situation I willingly put myself in.

It's fine, I set aside a folding budget every year. This tapped into a large chunk of it, but still comfortable for the rest of the year.

Does GPU folding use only CUDA or would the new AMD video cards work?

You can fold on AMD cards

well folks, just in time, i'm moving tomorrow

 

we'll see how long it takes to get me an internet connection back, but in the meantime i have been equipping my machines with wireless cards and i'm aiming on stealing wifi from the local telephone exchange that i'm in line-of-sight of (benefits of working there eh)

If they say anything just tell them I gave you permission, it's for science after all.

 

and if that doesn't work, just run around in circles screaming 'FOR THE FOLD' repeatedly, they'll soon just think you've lost the plot and you'll be scott free.

This is not legal advice, I am not a lawyer... just in case that wasn't obvious

Starting January 1st, 2021, we will be handing out awards based on new higher folding badge thresholds. These new values have been decided due to the increase of power a GPU can provide; this has made it much easier to achieve badges in recent years. Anyone holding a current badge will be grandfathered in! This means you won't have your badge downgraded after the new thresholds come into effect. 

 

F@H Badge Thresholds

In order to be rewarded with the Folding @ Home badge, please note the following requirements. (subject to change)

• Contributor - When you have contributed more than 21 WUs 5 Million Points, you will qualify for this badge, to show your commitment to LTT and the team. 
• Bronze Contributor - When you have contributed more than 1 Million 25 Million points, you will qualify for this badge. This reflects your serious support of the team. 
• Silver Contributor - When you have contributed more than 25 Million 100 Million points, you will qualify for this badge. This reflects your serious and continued support of the team.
• Gold Contributor - When you have contributed more than 100 Million 500 Million points, you will qualify for this badge. This reflects your dedication and continued support of the team and your very generous donation of resources.
• Platinum Contributor - When you have contributed more than 500 Million 1 Billion points, you will qualify for this badge. This reflects your dedication and continued support of the team and your very generous donation of resources. You are now a legend! 
• Diamond Contributor - When you have contributed more than 1 Billion 2.5 billion points, you will qualify for this badge. This reflects your insane dedication and continued support of the team and your extreme donation of resources. Tales of your folding adventures will be whispered through the ages; you are now mythical.

 

Yep, definitely never getting the next badge.  RIP CPU only folding.

Remember. Points are meaningless. Completed WU's are the real value

But seriously, I've just put on a long sleeve shirt, it will do the job. Once it gets down to 15 or so inside I may put the heating on... we'll see

Swapped the thin 80mm fans on the P106-100, I need to set a custom fan profile or just plug them in to run 100% but even at 100% they're 200% quieter than the fans I had on there. Temp is higher but noise is so much lower. I need to get my arch nemesis 'coolbits' set and working for at least fan control on the p106. Good news is that I just swapped the card in and it worked after two reboots. Also the whole box is now doing 1.2M PPD roughly and both cars are working with CUDA as they should be. Surprisingly painless, lets see if I can break it with coolbits this weekend! I wish the P106 had voltage control because I'd gladly keep stock clocks and drop the voltage but alas that doesn't seem to be possible so I have to keep it cool (nearer 50C) and overclock it to get the most efficiency out of it.
