This event has ended and I recommend you guys head over to the Folding Community Board for any general folding conversation.

Today is a good day for folding! Both GPUs in my main system working at full pelt, and the temps are nice and "cool", thanks to the average temp being 7 degrees celcius outside. ( Now if only the wind wasn't so strong, I'd have the window open, and just wear a hoodie :P )

The ole Titan with the stock blower cooler not going 75 degrees is a beautiful thing to see.

Oh man... 

My RTX2080 died last night. I guess too much folding.. 😟

Doubtful. Unless you've been going 24/7 since you bought it 1.5 years ago.

Even then, it still shouldn't die because of it!

Under two years, time for a warranty claim.

Yesterday was a good day regarding WU assignment, today it's back to endless attempts.

Didn't mean literally. I don't think folding was the reason.

Still 1.5 years is worrying.

No warranty will cover 24/7 usage at full load. No consumer graphics card is certified for that.

Can they prove it though?

A Titan is a "consumer" card, and I'd expect it to work over and over.

Where does it state how many hours you can run it for in 2 years.

Besides, they have to prove excessive use first....

If the thermal paste is all clogged up and the fan bearings are worn out it will raise suspicion for sure.

No way would that kind of wear be present on bearings, if it does then they are using substandard parts.

My card is a returned card from ASUS factory. Meaning someone had problems with it and returned it to a reseller. ASUS tested and found nothing wrong. So I bought it just couple of weeks ago at a discount and with one year warranty. I guess ASUS was wrong or their testing isn't so good...

Yep many vendors do unfortunately. Some cooler designs are simply terrible, like slapping a mid-tier cooler with cheap fans on the highest-end GPUs. And not every company is nice when it comes to support and handling RMAs. For example EVGA is said to be super cool while Asus support is outright terrible. (first-hand experience).

My Asus Strix laptop came with a power supply not powerful enough to charge it at full load so it would slowly DISCHARGE while PLUGGED IN and gaming. Contacting both seller and Asus: Asus doesn't offer the swap of 180W for 230W PSU, seller wanted to have the whole laptop back and also said most they could do is give me back the money. The more powerful PSU that should have come in the box is 200 €.

They don't care what you were using your card for and they don't have any way of knowing.

Graphics cards do not have certifications of how many hours they can be used for.


As long as the card is within the warranty period they'll be able to get it repaired/replaced.

@GOTSpectrum looks like extreme overclocking caught up on at least some (if not all) of the missing points and WU's.

My recognized output for 28.03. went up from the 657.613 in your race statistic to 791.074 on extreme overclocking. I hope everything smoothes out from now on :)

@SpottySome companies will refuse to repair/replace it for free. Warranty is usually only 1 year.  In Germany the vendor must repair/replace/refund it within first 6 months after purchase, after 6 months and within 24 months you have to make it plausible that you did nothing out of spec and the issue wasn't a user-caused fault (Gewährleistung, different from warranty).

Quick check: react to this post if you are interested in testing out folding on a cloud GPU server for free for a limited time period.

@Metallus97 made two guides about this for two different services, Check the folding section on the forum!

My PPD goes crashing down now.

No idea when I get a replacement GPU. Could take weeks :(.

Will use old GTX 460 until then...
