Hmm, there was a good reason why I changed my username though. When I started I had it as Michael. On your spreadsheet it listed me as houndtt which is my forum name. When I click my username in the client however I got to a stats page which showed a bunch of points and work units which was not from me (I assume because Michael is a popular name). So I checked that there was no houndtt and I changed my username to my forum name so that everything would be unique to me.

I thought this would match up on your end since you already knew my correct forum name and when I signed up and I don't think I provided a username so I assumed you matched based on my passkey.

Duplicate folding names isn't actually a problem, that's what the passkey is for. Anyway I'll check and make sure changing it won't break your starting points which would also break the daily points, if it's not a problem I'll change it.

[leadeater]

@houndtt Changed however because your name has changed it's an entirely new folding name/ID so I've had to reset your starting points to 7th 00:00 UTC and copied that across the remaining days. Basically that means you got zero points and WUs for the first week however the next daily update you'll get credited all days after the 7th so that daily points will be much higher than the following days after.

 

You're just going to be missing the 1st-6th points unfortunately.

 

Changing unique identifiers during an event is always a bad idea without checking first

Thanks much. I'll look out for the update tomorrow. Happy to leave my computer on for the next few weeks to catch up

@houndtt lol turns out broke everything haha, I'll fix it and nothing changes, just thought I share with everyone that I made a mess

Right after undoing everything, lets try that again without ruining literally everything....

This is why we have a "no modifying anything after even starts" rule.

Eh I thought it would be simple and not actually a problem. Oh well fixed and changed and won't be a problem anymore.

look at that consistency! slots 5 and 6 are both 4070Ti's and they're pretty damn close to identical in PPD right now.

What program are you getting this from?

So when I woke up my pc was powered down this morning... 

 

Something is definitely going on and I'll have to keep an eye on it, not sure what the cause could be tbh. It has been restarting itself about once every 7-10 days overnight mostly but this is the first time it hasn't powered itself back on... 

 

Hopefully it holds up until the end of folding month... I'm thinking PSU or motherboard. Motherboard because I'm running a 5950x on a X370 board

it's a script i stole from @Gorgon i think? it just runs in a Linux terminal with the watch command and shows your ppd output per slot
 

#!/bin/bash
#Slot Points Per Day Array
declare -a slot_ppds

# The Slot Index (Starts at 0)
declare -i slot_idx

# The Number of slots
declare -i slot_num=0

# Get the Queue Info from the Local Folding Client and process it one
# line at a time.
FAHClient --send-command queue-info | grep '^  {' | {
    while read queue_line; do
        slot_idx=$(echo $queue_line | awk -F',' '{print $25}' | awk -F':' '{print $2}' | sed -e s/\"//g)
        slot_ppds[slot_idx]=$(echo $queue_line | awk -F',' '{print $12}' | awk -F':' '{print $2}' | sed -e s/\"//g)
        ((slot_num++))
    done
    let i=0
    while [ $i -lt $slot_num ]; do
        echo slot $i ${slot_ppds[$i]}
        ((i++))
    done
}

I was just looking into how FAH works with Apple Silicon. Do let us know that works, I got an M1 machine I can throw into mix.

I've been using it on my M1 iMac. Was using an Ubuntu VM but then switched to the v8 beta client which supports Apple Silicon. You can get it here: https://foldingathome.org/beta/

From what I've seen online, this only supports CPU based folding at the moment and will probably not support GPU folding anytime soon.

Sorry to have caused issues with my request. Appreciate you working through it for me.

sigh VM broke again, gonna assume it has to do with drivers and install older ones this time. Hopefully that clears it up

The first two things I'd think to check are the wattage on the 12v rails of your power supply (as in, just checking the spec of the power supply to make sure the 12-volt wattage isn't close to the consumption of your cards), and to fire up something like HWinfo to check the VRM temperatures of your motherboard. I know that 5th gen Ryzen ended up drawing more power than the previous gens did, and some of the lower spec previous-gen motherboards didn't have VRM cooling built to handle them. Could just be as simple as pointing a fan at them, though I'd assume it would've started back up pretty quick in that case.

Theres top mounted fans so I don't think it will be VRM but I'm wanting to upgrade to a B550 or X570 board anyway for PCIe reasons so that will happen around Christmas and will soon know if that is the issue. 

 

As for the PSU it's a 1000W EVGA supernova model of some kind so can't see it being a capacity issue, but it is older so maybe an age issue

So what you're saying is I might get to pass you in rank?

 

Edit: I looked, and I did pass you. haha get rekt

I do have another 3 GPUs not currently folding...

There is nothing like some (mostly) friendly competition to make you want to make more ppd. I have a 3050 I am not folding on right now but I am too lazy to set it up.

Alright so in this situation the issue was the power went and I wasn't informed so the server has been down all day.. Fuck sake

What if you had a ups and wake on power set up? would that resolve issue? I don't know if the ups would start supplying power again once it reaches a certain threshold??

Don't have the money or space for a UPS of a size large enough to make it make sense
