Ungh, Murphy's law is kicking me in the pants.

 

Just built a 3950X / 2080 Super / 64GB and works fine.  Running Ubuntu 19.10.

 

Problem?  FAH will not install.

 

sudo ./fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb 
./fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb: 2: Syntax error: newline unexpected

So I try forcing it...

 

sudo dpkg -i --force-depends fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 205349 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack fahclient_7.5.1_amd64.deb ...

Trying from the Ubuntu Software Store simply stops at 33% (double-clicking deb file with exe perms).

 

If anyone has had this issue and solved it I'd appreciate the info.

Hi guys, joined since 2-3 days with my RX570 and Ryzen 7 2700x

better PSU and RX 5700XT ordered so I can contribute more

 

let’s  hope for the best, stay safe friends and thank you for the initiative!

Welcome to the team!

[MolarMedic]

Got it up and running!!

But my CPU overheads!

 

far as i'm aware 18.04 is stable for it.

how come my gpu show 4 % usage when on a gpu task this is only in task manger but gpu id show 98 % not that i am moaning i just wondered

Task manager sucks at this kind of thing.

if you look at some of the drop down menus for the graphs you can view different actions, for mine "compute 1" is showing 100%

Loads of positives from this.

 

1.) Murder that bastard Virus

2.) I no longer need a white noise generator to sleep, due to fans.  Lots of fans.

3.) Heating is no longer an issue.

4.) Saving water on washing clothes, as I'm stark naked sweating my bollocks off.

I feel ya.

23 celcius in my room, meanwhile the whole house is at about 18 (with heaters off)

I'm in!

Swap one of the GPU graphs to Cuda:

If you go to task manger and switch one of the GPU graphs reading to CUDA you will most likely see 100% utilization but yes Task manger sucks at this.

well i hope my 3 monsters will be fed tolorrow they all 3 Hangry and aint got no food. Let go Linus we need your monster server to feed out beasts...

[Shlouski]

I really hope they can the server running well enough to take advantage of all these new folders. I get very few WUs, so temporarily I'm running my cards at -50% power limit, no point finishing fast just to end up idle and waiting for hours.

Thats not too bad, 

 

During the summer folding sprint I hit 40+C... It was... Uncomfortable

Just out of curiosity, last night I checked the project number that was running and it was indeed the/a covid project. Today though, the cause has switched to cancer (again, on "any disease"). My understanding was that "any disease" would default to corona projects for the coming weeks. Did i miss something?

There is no "Covid 19" specific option right now, long technical reason, but they are prioritizing Covid related ones. Just let it do its thing, itll mostly get Covid jobs, but if it doesn't, just let it do what it gets, thats much easier on the servers which already have been, and are about to get WAY more overloaded.

[REDYul]

For NVidia cards, is there a "preferred" OC settings?

- I notice that my CARD is only using 40% of it's power

- should I boost Memory or GPU clock or both?

 

1080Ti: GPU:1767MHz / RAM:11080MHz at 70oC & Voltage +10%

Change the graph to show CUDA usage.

I always look forward to the summer sprint around the datacentre wondering where the heats coming from.

I set up my former streaming rig as a dedicated F@H rig. Not much just a R5-1600 and a GTX 970. Currently I'm folding on the GPU only. So two stupid questions. Question the first, if I put my CPU to work am I putting it at risk/shortening the life span of it or the motherboard? Its being cooled by the Wraith Spire from my R7-2700X in a old HAF case that has tons of ventilation so I'm not worried about temps. Question the second, how badly can I expect it to hit the power bill if I let the CPU go to work? Thanks! 

As long as temps are fine, no worry at all! PC's are meant to be ran 100% anyways, how do you think servers stay up and running

 

That said, make sure temps are good, and if you are overclocked, that info slightly changes. But if its a stable OC, and its not extreme, you will be fine :). The "longevity" hit to the CPU isn't really a concern.

 

That PC is likely pulling ~350-400 watts of power at full load, but under Folding its likely 350 tops. So, whatever having 3-4 100 watt light bulbs on 24/7 would cost you in your area

Awww you beat me to quoting with my own post

[cbigfoot]

also seems someone has a feed server that isn't configured right i keep seeing the following. in my logs for my XPS even after reboot.  and my ip adress range is 172.x.x.x for those that care.

 

00:29:25:WU01:FS01:Connecting to 192.0.2.1:80
00:29:46:ERROR:WU01:FS01:Exception: Failed to connect to 192.0.2.1:80: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.

That made sense to me.

This is because we are DDOSing the servers basically
