I'd die. That's HOT

small room and I am not in it besides checking the systems. Normal windows are open but shitty weather at the moment. GPU/CPU are on 60-70C although. WATERRRRCOOLINNNNNG!

I will need some moral support to have my 2080ti running 24/7

GoGo.. I am thinking of getting a 2080ti myself.

What is the difference on these Asus Strix GFX
ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-11G-GAMING
ROG-STRIX-RTX2080TI-O11G-GAMING.
The second one is OC. but are they equally capable in overclocking?

The answer is maybe binning, but any knowledge on this?, Different bios limits ?

factory OC's, should overclock more or less the same, aside from silicon lottery

That seems a bit low, did you mean 633k? Please do check and return with some numbers when you can. I am really interested.

I may be looking in the wrong spot, but at this moment, my estimated PPD is 65127.

That seems a little bit more real. 65k PPD is quite low tho. Your 1080 Ti should produce between 1.1 and 1.4M. So that means total of 5 of your CPU's should produce around 2.1M total. Which seems unrealistic to me. Just to make sure, this is your F@H profile, right?

are you folding on just the CPU? because then it seems about right.

That is PPD from one of his CPU's, he forgot to quote me.

Undervolt to keep temps down and you should still be fine.  It'll be a lot more warmth than the 1030, but still should be ok.  If in doubt, stop folding on the 1030 and only fold on the 2080ti for a little while until you're comfortable with the levels.  Or just wait until such time as it is safe from the parental standpoint to go all out again before enabling the 2080ti at all.  You'll love the points, but lower points are better than turned off power points.

That's me. I am wondering if its my Gigabyte Z370M DS3H. I bet my VRMs are over heating. I can fix that in about a week with a different MOBO.

Oooooooooooo finally hitting over 1mil PPD with my 1660 Ti, 1050 Ti, and RVII going:

Though I do need to rebuild the folding rig, and Shadowkeep just came out so I won't be able to fold as much with the RVII. 

Also I've seen something about Nvidia GPUs taking a hit to PPD when CPU perf is low? Would running my 1660 Ti and 1050 Ti with my 1.7Ghz Xeon be a bad idea? (10c/20t 1.7GHz base, no boost, was the only non-ES Xeon for a decent price).

i believe the thumb of rule is leave a spare core/threard per GPU, and it shouldn't take a hit

Darn. I thought I was running GPU because it has a progress bar.

Well like I said it's a 10c/20t, so unless I run CPU folding there'll be 5c/10t for each GPU lmao. The issue being it's only 1.7Ghz, this CPU is beat in multicore by some 4c/4t CPUs.

Oh... I see how it is. First you ignore me in your blog post and now you ignore me again here.

I've updated the moderator message up top as well now that entries to the contest have closed and included link to the LTT official giveaway. @Gorgon @GOTSpectrum @palespartan Is there any information that needs to be added to it that will stay pinned at the top? I need to keep it brief or it ends up taking up too much space (especially with the marked as solved messages as well) so I can't guarantee I'll be able to add it, but I'll see what I can do.

The top looks great. If there was anything to add just it would just be that if they had any questions or concerns they could pm one of us if they wanted as well since this thread is getting crowded and we might not see every post. Otherwise I think were simply going to mark best answer as the points update and the blog posts.

 

But are you able to mark best answer or just do the moderator header like that in case @GOTSpectrum isn't available?

Man im really quite disappointed in this one quadro machine 

Fermi is definitely older now but also folding will assign more optimized WU's after it learns your hardware a bit more so it might go up as it learns what work units it should send but probably not much. Depending on your cpu you might be able to make up for one of those cards by simply adding your cpu to the fold.

Does anyone know what the performance difference is for x1, x4, x8 and x16 lanes? I know that on x1(usually with PCIe Risers) it is not worth folding, but what about x8 and x4? I plan on building folding rig(s) but I do not know if I should go for few systems or one high-end system with 3-4 GPU's. Does anyone have a perfect solution for me? 

Also, I'd like to know what you guys(@catawalks, @Cbwgoose, @miker07, @GOTSpectrum, @Den-Fi, @Gorgon) are using(full setups: GPU/Mobo/CPU).

 

 

I'd use it for folding since I have a few PCIe slots and lanes open but I do not think it is worth for you to send it to Serbia. 

I was running my 970s and a 670 on 1x risers for a while and for the 670 it was about a 20% hit as for the 970 though it was easily about a 50% hit 8x is generally good for anything under the power of a 2080ti would be my guess since I have never seen a performance drop on any of my cards when I run 8x but it is really dependent on the power of the card as to how much it needs to communicate with the cpu.

alright, so after a bit more overclocking and voltage regulation i get about 1.1M PPD out of my Vouwfabriek server and about 1.7 to 2M PPD out of my main rig. 

somehow i feel like my Titan is underperforming. it runs 2Ghz on the core and almost 10Ghz on the memory, but i get barely 1 to 1.4M PPD out of her.

oh well, no more finetuning for a while, right now stability is key!

you might want to try lowering the mem oc on the titan in folding if a memory error corrupts a frame it will try to recover that frame by redoing it and wont fail immediately but will take more time since it has to do the same job twice.

Uhhhhm thats 102,2 Fahrenheit in my room for you US peeps

 

I guesssss folding IS running on full thrust 

Ah folding the easiest way to figure the limits of the thermal dissipation of your room. lol.

It does also depend on how many threads you are folding on but that sounds about right since a 4790k is about 44k points.

O should have better chips for OC aswell as being OC out the box

For the 1080ti strix that I got I was looking at the same dilemma and the difference came down to power limits. The oc has a slightly higher power limit than the standard strix as well as a better oc out of the box and likely a better achievable oc (we are talking withing a few % of each other though). I don't know for sure if this directly translates to the 20 series but would imagine so if they are going with the same naming scheme.

I feel silly. I was looking at the estimated PPD. My PPD is almost 2.3M. I apologize for the confusion.

about all you can do is install windows or ubuntu/mint/arch in a jail and even then I don't think you can do GPU pass-through so you'd just be able to do CPU folding and even then the performance isn't very good in a FreeBSD jail as it's not a bare-metal hypervisor.

 

Why can you run the 1080 with the Super? Slot issues? Power Supply? Thermals?

Thank you. My thermals are bad. Top card hits 80 °C. I'll try vertical mount, hope it'll help.

That's not too bad - try running the fans on the lower card manually a bit faster. It helps to push the hot air away quicker.

 

I usually install my faster card in the lower slot (as long as it's x8 from the CPU) so the slower card gets cooked.

[Pepe Le Spooder]

I'm gonna look for some better cards to refurbish this week and try and fold with them..

Hopefully i can pull some decent cards for a decent price

[GOTSpectrum]

How are we all getting on, having a hell of a time here in IRL land but I'm ready for this update bois!
