Folding Community Board

[Inkertus]

Well my network decided to give me something to do. Whole thing bugged up.  At least half the issue is via Cloudflare's data center in Dallas. Stuff seems relatively resolved now but...

Meanwhile folding is still chugging along fine.

is the EOC website down? Been trying to check my stats but the site won't load at all today. Tried turning my VPN off and that didn't work either.

Your browser saying "name not resolved" or...? What's it say when you try to go there?

not for me.  works fine try on your phone on and off your wifi if it works off wifi but not on go to the contact form and ask to be unblocked give them your IP address.  that happend to me a while back...he unblocked it...no issues since.

 

 

any of yall that have lots of ram @Zberg looking at you we could use some help running boinc Amicable numbers for the Pent.  and those that dont have lots of ram (8GB+) could use your help running rosetta  @ home.  if yall need help or have questions reach out to us on that page and tag @Ithanul!!!!!

I forget IP bans are a thing sometimes. Happened to me a whopping once with a VPN IP. Only reason I mention name resolution is my earlier network escapade.

My B450 board came! I need a CPU and some RAM for it, turns out the older AM4 CPU I have isn't listed as compatible with this board and the RAM I wanted to buy I forgot to set a snipe on, whoops!

https://www.asrock.com/MB/AMD/B450M Steel Legend/#Specification That's the board I scored for under $50 shipped. I just assumed my AM4 A6-9500E would work since it was compatible with my X470 before the latest BIOS but it's not. So I need a cheap CPU to flash the BIOS forward when I get a 3300X or 3100 for it since people keep jacking up the price of the 1600AF, might just spring for a 3600 fuck it, it's only $20 more than the 1600AF is going for at $150 now which is ludicrous!

So I'm going to transplant my current P106 system with a stronger PSU into the case that'll be the home of the B450 and figure out the fans later on. I think I have some aluminum stock or maybe wood that's the right thickness to be a spacer to bolt the fans to, should be able to screw the spacer to the fins and the fans to the spacer I think.

 

But there's going to be a few days of zero work this week while I get it all sorted out, I think I may have found another hardware fault with the P106 system as I had it built, I don't think the card was fully slotted into the board! The back edge certainly was because the lock tab was caught but the other end...was not. The case is super old and the card's bracket wasn't going into the case correctly, I had assumed it was an issue with the stand off height being weird in the case but I think that was only partially the problem. The other old case I have is much newer and has larger fan grills so it'll fit a 120 exhaust and a couple fans on the side panel too, I can get some air moving into and out of the case with the side panel installed. I've got a corner in the basement all set except for the Cat5e cable drop for it, keep being lazy about that one.

Not sure if they're still around at similar prices, but the 2700 often went down to about $150 on sale as well once 3000 launched.

well im glad you joined just need a few more peeps lol we will get silver if we can get more spare CPUs Running...I finally got around to replacing the MB on my all in one to find i also had an issue is the PSU LOL, though i will admit the PSU was plugged directly to the wall and was not connected to computer during the storms the other weekend. so should have a new psu tomorrow it will boot on a 210 but i dont want to fry my 210 trying to run rosetta when it calls for a 330

Ill get barbados slim updated and everything installed tonight and have it up and running.  Granted a 2200G isnt going to get you too far, but hopefully the 9900k and 2700x help a little!  Fold on bros!

[Unilevers]

i got a couple 24 thread xeons, 3 ryzen 3600x, a 8700k, and a 3900x to throw at this BOINC thing if it will make the difference.  the xeons have 128gigs of ram each if that helps as well.

 

i figured it wouldn't really make or break the pentathalon thing.  someone just tell me whats needed and how to do it i will fumble my way through the rest.

I use Bam myself because I have more than one system like you. Works for my needs. One is my daily driver on WIndows and it works well. I also have the other running in an Unraid docker container, also works well. If the system is just for Boinc though I'd recommend setting up ubuntu to get best performance.

that could make the diffrence in Rosetta @ home for the Pent as that could help us secure 2nd place. or as Ricky bobby said First place Loosers...which is MUCH better than 2nd place Loosers,,,and with Rosetta you get to continue the Covid Fight!!!

[marknd59]

less than a week till 3rd place.

i will get this sorted out tonite, bring some cpu power online!

Top 100 so close!!!

[GrockleTD]

my brand new 1660s has been added to the fold

[Raytheon]

Last 24 hours or so WU's have been all over the place - bad work units, WU's taking an hour longer than normal, irregular temps and GPU utilisation, double the usual TPF and 230k points being returned as 30k ... Just seen there's a new v7.6.13 version of the F@H software  c:\Hommerbackwardsintohedgememe\probablythat

I'm back baby! Got Son of Foldy Puff Jr. running in the cool basement now, still need to make a cable end for the ethernet so it's still using the wifi dongle at the moment but it's folding! I also need to re-learn how to set a static IP in Ubuntu. I re-learned how to make a ethernet cable tonight so that's enough re-learning. I was trying to take a photo of the janky-ness but my phone battery decided that I was done using it for the day for some reason.

 

2 screws per fan right into the fins, works well enough, temps are good, it's quieter, it was cheap ($12), and most importantly it gives me clearance for the 2nd slot to be used if I so desire and I think I may desire it since I have an AMD R7 250 that might be able to fold that I can toss in there. I need to power down the system to check out the outlet it's on, the power strip isn't showing that it's grounded so I need to fix that if it's the case.

Hey guys! I'm new to this and just started folding.

From what I understand, I can always fold for the LTT team but there will only be events occasionally? Did I get that right?

Also, how to I give my folding username to get badges?

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Not sure about the events myself, but going to https://folding.extremeoverclocking.com and searching your username will give you a link to share.
