That sucks, because it's causing my games to crash/lag.

Decrease your clocks and it will be stable.

Reset to stock clocks (had a +20 core + 200 mem OC) but still crashing.

Stopped F@H and rock solid.

Should I lower the clocks?

Try complete stock

It is. Everything's at defaults - power limit, core voltage, core clock, and mem clock.

ahh ok i misunder stood(I read further back now).  but yeah if you are trying to run something else you can try the slider and set F@H to Medium so it isnt Requesting 100% OR pause when gaming as some games just dont like F@H i run all mine on dedicated rigs except Calculon (See my sig) where he gets paused when gaming or in this case making sure i don't go broke folding...he may join the fray tonight.

My GPU's are flying today. Since I did a cooling mod to my 2080 super, It's never been this high before. I put thermal pads behind the memory, so the backplate is now helping to cool the chips.

 

WOW that 2080 Super is going NUTS! What was your PPD before?

2.8 - 3.2M PPD. Average was around 3M. I read up on Igors labs that the 2080 Ti's memory ran very hot, so I did a trick that was done on the 3K series GPU's, by using the backplate to cool the memory. It's worked very well.

Today in "box slapped together as fast as possible to try to have a second machine up for the midweek folding event"...

I'm pretty sure I can hear the poor A10-7870k gasping for air as it tries to keep up.

I can hear the PSU asking for more air...

Getting warm in here!

I have the case airflow inverted in an effort to help with that - the fan below it is intaking fresh air right into it, and so is the side panel fan. But driving a 2080ti with a 450w PSU is definitely inadvisable in general!

EDIT: Should probably also mention I have the power limit for the 2080ti capped at 80%. These just happen to be the parts I have on hand, I'm not trying to kill any hardware!

I've still got a 280 folding and it had been limping along on one fan while the other was frozen stiff with arthritis. It's since been given replacement hips held on by zip ties 

That's what I ended up doing lol. Grabbed 2 bequiet 120mm fans I had laying around, zip-tied those bad boys and not only the card got quieter, also the die temp dropped about 15c.

 

This mod should be done out of the box if you ask me

Shit sorry guys, I'm not gonna lie to you lot. I got a vegetarian kebab on friday and I've been rather unwell for the last few days! 

 

Only today have I realised what day it was!!! 

 

But I'm here and I'm alive! 

[GOTSpectrum]

Can we all give a thanks to @leadeater @marknd59@cbigfoot@j1philli @RollinLower @piratemonkey

 

Those guys pulled together and sorted out the day zero stats so we are all G for making sure the event runs smoothly. 

 

This is why we have an event team ladles and gentlespoons!

So I came home to a bunch(5) of WU stuck on upload today... is that an issue everyone has, where they have to restart F@H occasionally to get things to clear out properly? I'm only running 16 threads on my 3950x so there should be plenty of room left over for overhead and background tasks... maybe it's an issue with instability. I had mostly ruled that out since I've run the gamut of typical tests for weeks and come back clean

*looks at his 390 with a rattling fan*

*glances at his p104-90 with a 92mm zip tied on*  

 

Granted it's still pulling roughly 300k PPD! Not a bad little rescue  

 

And my pride and joy(s), dual Tesla M40s that cost me $1.30 to run everyday, but it's for a good cause!

Glances at Flexo with his 3080 and Bender with his 2x 2060 and Calculon with his 5700XT thats mining...err folding...

hah, don't have any gpus that are capable of mining at the moment since my 1070Ti is resting in pieces (worst time, really)

Maybe in a few days once the 1060 I scored off ebay arrives  (for way too much, I might add)

For the $110 each Tesla cost, they're practically worth their weight in gold to me right now since I can enable wddm mode and still game on them!

Same here on all fronts. First, I took off the heatsink and found the thermal compound to be rock solid. Chiseled that away, applied some new stuff and BAM 15 degrees lower even with a single fan hobbling along. Took both the dead and decrepit fans off, zipped a couple of 80s(?) on there and went from an original ~90 degrees (pre-compound and fans) down to 60-65.

I'm planning to do this to my 2060 in the coming months as I have got a dead fan with other on the way out and they have been replaced with OEM fans once before

This thread is turning into scrapyard wars for GPUs

Just had F@H crash on me in a way I'd never seen before...

Advanced client showed 99.99 % and stayed stuck there, graph on web client went back somehow, CPU thread was still stuck and using a core fully, had to kill all F@H processes, restart and it resumed from 97% and finished, losing me about 40K points though by the time I noticed.

Are there gonna be daily recaps like on the last event?
