@NarielleD may you receive many work units and your rig temps be low.

Minimum Participation Requirements For Prizes

10 Days Active, 500,000 Points

 

 

 

I get the idea of  points. But do 10 days mean 240hrs or just 10 days log in at folding?

To qualify as active for a day a user must submit one or more WUs between the times of 0000-2359 GMT.

I hope my 1080TI can survive 70°C 24/7 for the next two weeks

my 980ti did 65-80C for 5 years 24/7 folding, don't worry about it!

Ya, better shape than mine right now!  Sitting at 78C and will likely remain there for a couple weeks!

they are designed to be able to run at 92c for many years. 70c will be just fine.

[El_Psy_CoNGR00]

i get a gpu temp of a steady 60 degrees c. not too shabby if i say so myself. 

[NineEyeRon]

OK i signed up to the challenge and should have some WUs finish not long after the event starts, is it OK they start before the event but finish in it?

 

Edit: CPU work unit estimated 12 hours to complete:

Well, I did adjust the power settings of my GPU's
The 1080TI is underclocked in memory and gpu clock, running at 60% power/70°C temp target and 45% fans.
The 1070 is at stock but at 70% power/70°C temp target and 40% fans.

 

Web Control predicts around 700k PPD for the 1080TI and 600k for the 1070, so that's looking good.

Well this is brutal

Project 14588 giving my old Haswell Xeon a workout and it's TPF is 4:03 on 10/12 threads of the kid's 2600 and 12:10 on 3/4 threads on a Pentium Gold 5400

struggling to get WUs, running barely half capacity

Do u OC your 980ti?

[alexl83]

Thank you community, thank you Folding@Home team, thank you Linus and LMG Team for this opportunity to contribute in a coordinated way: we'll get out of this together!

 

I'll keep going and do as much as I can!

[DozySlumbers]

I'm at about 68C on my GTX1050 OC card, though it used to be 71C. now I just put like a desk fan to blow directly onto the chassis cause the CPU gets preeetty toasty when it's working, even at only 2 cores (Highest peak used to be 96C, after the desk fan it's about uh 89-90C now)

 

With that said, good luck to all of the existing and new folders! Let's make this happen. Oh right, I'm one of the new folders just a couple of days ago actually.

Im going to let it ride.  Interested to see how the hardware holds up cranking out WU's for a couple weeks.  I did take the OC off my CPU and put it back to base, as the OC gets a bit hot and a little noisy, whereas with base settings its barely a bother (also it barely gets many points anyways!).  GPU doesnt actually seem that loud honestly.

 

My work system on the other hand...I have def decided to put a DRP on the CPU (replacing wraith cooler) and will probably not do FE cards again.  I actually love the way FE cards look and was a good deal, but man it is hotter and louder than the strix any time it runs.

Because I'm an idiot and posted the blog in the wrong wrong heres the right place it should have been posted...

 

whoops... Thanks @Andyoutside for the heads up!

Greetings all,

 

just set up F@H on my 2600 and GTX 1070 machine. Going to try and have it set up on my unraid machine either tonight or tomorrow. Currently set to fold at idle, but my machine locks after a few minutes. It will fold while locked correct or should I disable that?

 

thanks in advance.

OK so my i7 4940mx (extreme edition) was running well over 20.000 PPD, what the hell is that ?

Should I cancel this WU ?

It looks done and it is being sent to their office for deployment from Linus's house right now.

 

LETS SPREAD THOSE WUs!

 

[Zberg]

Man I am definitely seeing the benefit of pausing and restarting folding if you are "stalled".  Almost every time I come back and my CPU isnt doing something, if I pause and resume, it gets a WU

 

RIP my work PC that is sitting there in 2 hour refresh queues because no one is there to pause and restart!

[ConceptOW]

Yay! I just got my first million points.
