I somehow went from 14th to like 68th I'm not sure why or if the algorithm that you are using has changed.

Can you PM me your EOC link please so I can look into this, we have recently swapped to automated data entry so there may be some questionable data in the first couple days.

Are you running on Windows or Linux?

I had problems with linux and as the event started I went for windows to get my computer to work.

windows 7  also tried Nacl on macOS and had the same problem. reinstalled the clients on the windows machines twice. I'm really at a loss...

Tomerrs seems to have cooled down a bit to a steady 8.5 million PPD after producing almost 10 million PPD on the 5th

 

Either @King Poet has had some sunny cool weather to help him with his a/c and solar issues or he’s just decided to give a nice early present to the Electricity provider down under and is now producing around 7.2 Million PPD

 

@_Rlocke has bubbled up in the production and looks like will finish the day above 7 million PPD

 

Linus must have noticed some cards missing and LMG_Jakkuh has dropped to around 3.5 million PPD from the 6.5 he was at.

 

I’m producing just a bit over 3 million PPD. That chrome book running NaCl must have done the trick!

 

@Dissitesuxba11s is hot on my tail at just under 3 million PPD

 

@Ben Quigley is purring along at around 2.5 million PPD

 

@porina just keeps swimming along at 2 million PPD

 

@palespartan is just under 2 million PPD and is in hot competition with @DUW1G1T @Cereal5 @Yabdat and maybe a few others bubbling up through the ranks.

 

Now that registrations closed with the final list of participants we’ve got the statistics gathering automated and once @Ben Quigley puts the final touches on the spreadsheet we’ll be able to get the updates out very quickly.

 

Keep on Folding!

Had to take two rigs down so I can finish building, but they’ll be back up soon.

Do you have some kind of firewall?

I did clean WIndows 10 install with AMD drivers and everything worked out of the box. Not even my router with VPN, over the top rules and intrusion detection caused any problems.

There might be something on the algorithm.

Its very possible, as soon As Im back at my PC I'm going to check it out. Should only be 30 mins. 

[GOTSpectrum]

@D_Newb It seems like @Rusted was right and in the change over to week two and automation your points got switched, I'm really sorry about that and it should be fixed now.

@Ben Quigley @Cereal5 Just putting the info out. So under inspector i am in P2. Cant seem to find where to lock to P0, But under the P2 state overclock page i can move the slider over to get back up to 3705 mem clock. 

Also looking at my card i think i have have the switch for the duel bios in the factory not OC position the whole time i have owned the card 

Even if you could it might not be a good idea Ive crashed more because of too high of a mem OC than anything other else with folding. It seems to be harder on mem because one mistake will usually fail an entire WU as opposed to a game where it can recover pretty quickly.

Even on the full client it's not working... Thanks for your help anyways  

try to hotspot with your phone or something see if getting off of your home network will solve the problem. That will be a good indicator as to where the issue is.

WOO!!!!! We gotta keep pushing though guys! 

 

Squeeze every last point of of your system, make them cry, nay, make them SCREAM as they fold, fold, fold away! 

For me with the coil wine off of my card (caused by my mobo) it literally does scream. lol

I’m debating whether or not I can push my memory OC higher in P2. currently im at +500 (5000 MHz, which is stock speed in P0) and I’ve had no problems so I’ll have to try pushing it a couple hundred higher to see if I can just manually give it more clock speed lol... probably not the best idea cause one day it’ll randomly switch back to P0 and crash probably

As I said above be careful with mem OC it does help a lot but can be easy to push too far.

Gonna make that charge back to the top.

@Ben Quigley I somehow dropped to 51st with only 3.8 million points total.

Yeah, the issue was between 4 participants in the 'd' section. Please check next update tomorrow and if it still doesn't seem right DM me! 

 

I hope that's okay,

 

Ben.

Nah, that's fine. Mostly just curious.

Second 1080 on the way... debating whether or not I want a third. That would be just completely unnecessary lol but... tempting

You buying new or used? If new, you should go the RTX 2070 instead of 1080. It's roughly the same price as the 1080, but you will get better PPD and save on electricity. Plus if you want to resell it in a year or two time, the RTX2070 will probably hold value better than the 1080 which will then be a 4 year old card.

@Gorgon is running a RTX2070 and is getting pretty good results for it.

1070 Ti 800-900KPPD 2070 1.3-1.4MPPD. Second hand just got a lot less compelling as the RTX has a 3 year, no questions asked, warranty, improved fan life and better power efficiency

3 year no questions asked makes me wanna just get a 2080 Ti lol

Apparently at stock they do about 2.4m PPD, but don't quote me on that. If accurate then the PPD/Watt ratio is about double that of the 1080Ti, so for power consumption reasons alone it makes a lot of sense. Also a lot easier to cool a single card rather than two 1080s/1080Tis

Return the 1080 you bought and buy a 2080Ti instead?

The PPD/dollar though is worse than a 1080, and a 1080 is worse than a 1080 Ti and 1070 Ti. I don’t pay for electricity so it’s a matter of how I want to heat my room, HVAC or computer lol. The 1080 I got was used and I got a pretty good deal on it so I’ll just stick with that. There is another’s one I can get For about the same price but I think I’m just out of budget for the month lol

I've been really impressed with the 2070 so far as far as thermals.

 

The thing is a beast:

 

Its running 61C, ~ 200W, 2040-2055MHz GPU Clock consistently with a 70% fixed fan

 

 

Lower Line is just the 2070.

If I buy any 20 series I’m gonna Get the 2080 Ti since I already have a 1080 Ti. Probably won’t though, probably gonna wait for the next gen. That said Newegg has a gigabyte 2080 Ti for 1225 shipped..... but nahhhh I’m not quite that reckless.

And now for the late night Folding news ...

 

We produced a whopping 178Million points today to finish off the week at Extreme Overclocking at 981,772,565 points - Almost 1 Billion Points,

 

This was quite the jump today from 145 Million points yesterday and about 135 Million points each of the three previous days. You'll have to wait for @Ben Quigleyto wake up and process last nights stats to get the real deal on how the competition is running but we're making huge progress.

 

@_Rlockehas taken the number 1 spot for Points per Day (PPD) producing 8.47MPPD

@Tomerrs has slipped to the second spot his production dropping slightly to 7.94MPPD yesterday.

@King Poet also dropped down from 6.6M PPD to 5.28MPPD

@jakkuh_t is back in the game producing 6.1MPPD

@Gorgon is in 5th place producing 3.15MPPD

@Ben Quigley is in 6th with 2.38PPD

@porina is hot on his tail fin producing 2.26MPPD

@Yabdat is close behind at 2.25MPPD

@Cereal5 produced 2.15MPPD

@DUW1G1T is close behind at 2.14MPPD

@palespartan is still in the fight at 2.09MPPD

@Dissitesuxba11shas dropped behind producing 1.64MPPD

Huge spike in yesterdays points. Also the WU count doubled.

 

Must have been @jakkuh_t promoting it on the WAN show. Lots of new people joining. Once they get their 10WU complete and start getting the QRB the teams daily points should go up even higher (though, most people will probably quit after a day or two).

 

LTT is now only 4 weeks away from overtaking Maximum PC magazine and China Folding@Home Power.

[sazrocks]

Server had an issue that went unnoticed for several hours, wiped ~450k off my total for today  

I need to install a second GPU so I can see the issue when it stalls.

 

Curious to see my rank for the event; is the spreadsheet public at all?
