would folding be a good benchmark for OC'ing?

Not at all. Not only does a failed WU not get you any points and waste your time, failing a WU means someone else has to download it and calculate it

LOL same case I went with, NZXT H440 because it was "so quiet" sure, until the fans ramped up to deal with the heat...and for me the cable management and everything was a nightmare (it has 7 hard drive bays, I have ZERO idea how anyone is putting 7 HDDs in there, I struggled to get my 4 HDDs in there and the airflow obstruction was absurd..) 

 

My ram this time only hurts because i spent a lot to get 3600 CL16 over the CL18 and i cant do 3600 at CL16 because its unstable and have had to settle on 3400 at CL16. 

 

My 3900x with the H115i Platinum is pretty good temp wise when folding, about 72 degrees last time i got a folding load. My 680X is virtually silent compared to that H440 despite being filled to the brim with fans

Shame about the RAM, maybe another bios revision and you’ll get 3600.

 

ill likely stay with my Noctua D15s if I get a Ryzen system. It’s been doing well with a single Fan at low speed.

On top of losing eligibility for QRBs and - if you fail/drop enough in a certain amount of time - be kicked out of F@H

LTT Team is now rank 5th

No, as Folding WU workloads are not consistent like a benchmark is. For example, Core 22 work units are more taxing than Core 21 but offer more PPD. My current Overclocks on my cards were for Core 21's so I have to monitor them closely to see how they handle Core 22's. 

was kidding around. I have personal experience with the strangeness of F@H usage

From my understanding, yes the later BIOS revisions that I've installed since I originally set it up did improve RAM compatability. I just havnt felt like messing with it 

 

I dont blame you, the Noctua is a good cooler, I only go with closed loop because ram clearance issues and aesthetic, not necessarily cooling performance

 

Overall I'm quite happy with how it turned out

Does it sometimes take a long time for points to show up? Submitted 2 WUs about 30 mintues ago that should have been worth about ~60k, neither seemed to have counted yet

Yes it can. Where are you checking?

Web client, folding at home stats, and EOC. They were submitted before EOC update. My logs in the FAH client show it was submitted and estimated points

Where did you read that? Humor me please.

Updates to EoC are every 3 hours. Should show up on the next update in roughly 2.5 hours.

Its bothering me they arent showing up anywhere else though

No power limits here

 

 

Nearly 2kw for only ~4m PPD, not the most efficient lol.

There will be lots of CPU WUs for your systems. A large batch for potential therapeutic candidates are just finishing beta

Sometimes mine don't show up if they are submitted right before the update. Not sure how long it takes for that info to flow everywhere.

Looks wonderful! Thankfully the D15s has a cut out to allow for better ram clearance, and is off set to it’s not to close to GPUs that are at the very top slot.

 

My 5820k doesn’t exceed 60 degrees even under intel burn test, or prime 95 with it. Then again with age it only holds a clock at 4ghz as opposed to the 4.3 it had at launch.

 

My the folding gods bless us with more WUs

[J1mjam]

Havnt had a GPU workload all day since about 4am in the morning.  I'm just being ignored by the FAH overlords.

 

CPU has been pretty busy, mind.

End the client process and reload it. Sometimes it gets stuck and stops checking for WUs

and some times they just doesn't count them

I have done, quite a few times

13.82.98.119 has just come back online!

[Gamerx007]

this is my stats after almost 1 whole week 

 

I am only running my laptop and my home build Gaming-server PC

 

not trying to brag just shocked just how much

Any ideea why it does this?
It estimates ~100-120k credits when it starts working on the WU, the actual folding takes ~2h, spends around 5-10m to upload, and then it gives me the base credits. Why?

Also, when it's folding, the f@h client estimates ~1.3-1.5m PPD. Is my 1080Ti doing something wrong?

i don't think it is fah issue not your 1080ti, i had same issue and fah even doesn't count it as done WU too 

[Unilevers]

AHHH dam you pci1x risers!!  why have you forsaken my 27 1070's!

 

i am literally going to start breaking out motherboards here to get full slots.  My previous statement about the 1070's only being throttled by ~25% on pci1x risers was false, once under sustained load i am seeing a 50% reduction.  that and i cant get WU for gpu for anything.

 

i see im going to have to build some dedicated folding setups.
