LTT Folding Team's Emergency Response to Covid-19

[ShortRouter]

Right now I'm doing some educated guesstimates just how much compute power we dashed out in the last 24 hours on average. Stay tuned!

Maybe you need a new cooler, one with water in it? Is the radiator heating up at all?

Yes radiator gets almost hot enough to burn when gpu max set to 70 degrees in afterburner. Also the fact I haven't noticed before shows how little any games I play use both gpus, so I'm much better off getting a new single card anyway

Hoping it's server delay; and not more WU's that were scrapped

Check the logs to know

Is the logs say:

WU01:FS01:Final credit estimate, 137754.00 points

and the points haven't shown, would that be due to a server delay?

put more air cooling on it.  turn your house fan on "on" and it will lower the average temperature in the room and it doesnt cost much to run that fan.   maybe get a deskfan and blow at your rig. 

 

[Kilrah]

If you get the "final credits estimate" it should be all good and show up. Where are you looking for your total?

Tried again to get a passkey but it appears my problem is gmail.  Got a “failed to authenticate” error.  So not F@H per se.  gmail problem.  Need a different thread maybe.  Don’t know where to put it.

I had the same issue. Didn't get one at first, but tried my old hotmail account, and got one within a few hours. I think the Gmail spam monster ate it...

Hi, yes the stats.foldingathome.org page is a bit behind, but if you check https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/search.php you should be able to find some more up to date stats for yourself there. (Though it is updated every 3 hours)

Just fired up folders

[Kilrah]

Even extremeoverclocking is off now. It ran 20 minutes ago and shows 0 for me for the last 3-hour period although I did close to 300k points.

They do show up in the web viewer.

I've ordered a new gpu anyway given it is overheating far too much to entirely be airflow through the rad. I'm guessing one of the pumps has gone,  although it is very old and also having severe memory issues when folding (can't get more than 2% in unless I've downclockes the memory.)

Speaking of which, how do I get afterburner to save settings over a reboot? Just lost a bigish gpu work unit as it hadnt saved my under clock on memory from yesterday and errored out.

Yup, the F@H servers cant serve out WU's fast enough. Sometimes it'll take a while to get a new WU ofr your PC. If it's been a few hours, it might help to stop folding, and start up again.

70c is not overheating. its perfectly normal. my quadros have been at 82c for 3 weeks now.   new GPUs are going to get just as hot. your goal should be to move enough air through the machine to end up with power limit throttling, not thermal throttling.

Looks like the latest update didn't track individual user points for the latest update (03.19.20, 9am CDT). Team data was updated but individual users are all showing 0 for this update.

 

Should correct itself at the next update in approximately 3 hours time and credit the missing points then.

I'm late to this, but they were 5K comments and 170K views. 

 

Also as a side note, with so many users signing up at the same time but not entering any details about a username or team number, the "Anonymous" user in Default Team has increased their rate explosively, on track to be the #1 point farm and closing a Twenty five billion point gap in only three months!!!

OOO Well thats the mark to beat then!

With an r9 295x2 its bios temp limit is 75 degrees as its watercooled to stop the clcs dying. With both gpus running at full power and full clocks it should run at 60~65 degrees according to reviews when it came out. I also know its not paste as i changed that about a year ago to hydronaut and it ran perfectly then.

Yes I am aware with air cooled 70 is very cool, and most gpus target 80 degrees instead (two r7 360s in my parents pcs downstairs do), but with clc water cooling it kills the pumps

I wish the anon folders could be encouraged to join a team.

 

That's an insane amount of power that they've got.

I am back to fold again after years of being dark. Nice to see a serious PPD jump from my old GTX780 to my GTX 1080.

It's well further off than that. Extremeoc website says I've done 8 WU, and 88K points.
A day a go the webclient for me stalled at 1,519,623 points, and despite the logs showing points are being credited for WU's it's not updating in the Webclient anymore or https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_summary.php?s=&u=868158

This is with 3 systems working, with same identity and passkey on them.

I'm hoping it's just the servers being slammed.

Logs show WU's are being credited, but no points being added in nearly 48 hours.

I have been looking at folding.extremeoverclocking.com but the numbers I see there do not match the numbers reported within my log even with giving a 6hr wait. I'll give it a few days and check... I'm new to all of this folding 'stuff'.

Hi, I saw earlier that that website might also be behind.

Don't worry though, from all the times I've seen that points aren't showing correctly, people have said they are being recorded correctly and that the priority is to make more WUs available rather than get stats fully updated

Quite the challenge considering that thread was open from August 8th-Nov 6th (the view count, not the comment count.) But at our current rate I think we can do it.

I hope so, it will be an impressive feat!

I wonder if the folks at Folding At home can put out some numbers at the end of the total power is being comitted to COVID19 crunching.

Would be nice to know how we compare to regular super computers.
