LTT Official Folding Month 2020!!!

[justpoet]

Well, across 5 computers…I finally got 1 CPU WU with lots of retrying for many many hours.

Soooo close , i can feel the 30th spot . But let's see if I can keep this pace, as this morning my 1080 Ti started making a weird high pitched hissing sound. The strange part is that it makes this sound only when it's folding , under furmark and gaming the card makes no sound. I hope it doesn't die on me.

lol, I was just about to gloat about there being no shortage of GPU WU's, but I happened to flip over to my folding monitor and my 2080 TI is running idle right now and has been for probably 15 minutes.

Just got up and started, and yep nothing to eat for the GPU.

Are you running the stock WU pool?

It happens on some WUs for me too. Do not worry about it too much until it starts being active 100% of time.

I even have constant coil whine whenever I do something that uses 100W+ (doesn't matter if it's GPU or CPU).

I have narrowed down my problem of coil whine to Mobo or PSU but I am too lazy to diagnose it further as I've learned to live with it until I make next big upgrade.

I took the underclocks off my 980 and 1660 today. The 1660ti in the laptop my friend is letting me use has to be very underclocked to keep thermals in check. Should be close to 2.5mil ppd for awhile. Might open up my r7 3700x for another boost. Anyone know where i can get a new heatsink for a pny 1060 3gb xlr8? Had a small oopsie and the cards fine but the hestsink and fans arent

Heads up everyone it looks like GPU WU's are starting to dry up Babysitter has started to kick in. I have a client-type - advanced set and I've changed next-unit-percentage  - 98

I've been on advanced since the start of the event and I haven't had babysitter kick in yet. Fingers crossed advanced wu's keep on coming!

I've had advanced set since the start too. I had next set to 99% I've just knocked that down to 98%

I now have a 2nd GPU looking for work.

It seems you are on to something, fired up F@H got a new WU and the noise is less pronounced. I'll leave it 80% power limit as at this level i can barely hear it, and keep and "ear" on it. Thanks.

Dont want to damage the card too much why dont you try 60% PL? /s

WUs are drying up you say, now it gets fun!

yep kinda glad @leadeater isnt here stealing all the CPU units /s

 

but seems calculon has been happy most of the night and Bender had 1 too many to drink and forgot how to upload till i smacked him

[d0ks]

Maybe if we ask nicely @rodarkone
@Den-Fi
and @Unilevers
to leave some WU's for the commonfolk, would that work? :)))

No worries.

 

Also, I've noticed that when there is high-noise WU on my GPU, it doesn't really matter if it's on 50% PL or 120%, noise is there, and difference is really small noise-wise. 

 

I run my GPU on 70% PL all the time now since there is literally no PPD drop but noise of fans and temperatures are much lower. 

 

Tho, I do crank it up to 100% PL if I want to heat the room or if I am gaming (in hope that game won't eat all the PPD and would share those extra 30% with F@H - it actually helps a bit in PPD in most cases).

I have one, but it's in use
